This book had me in tears by the end of it. It was almost like I could feel the pain of the characters seeping through the pages. By far one of the best books I have ever read.

Not one of my favorites of his. I really didn’t like reading a book within a book in this case (I generally do not mind but I didn’t like it here). I think the plot of this book didn’t really make much sense to me nor did I like the main character. The ending was just too bizarre too.

i love this book its really informative and dives into the history and world of quidditch. and it helps me understand the world of harry potter that little bit more

Interesting points on various elements of work. Fascinating bits on various coaches and players by the author.

An historical fiction based on a real person, a former friar in Germany during WWII who joins the resistance and along with his wife encourages the town people to to continue living their lives by supporting each other and especially the children. An uplifting story, beautifully descriptive and emotionally charged.

I read this one myself even though it was hard!

The best book ever read ON PLANET EARTH

I was eager to read this book, as the author is a former colleague of mine. I greatly enjoyed reading her memoir. By moments I felt very moved, and by moments I laughed out loud, two responses I greatly appreciate a book evoking. I also deeply appreciated Felicia's celebration of cultural and linguistic diversity. Last but not least, I found the parallels between her work with Deaf and hard of hearing students, and hearing students learning English as a second language, fascinating, and would love to delve further into this topic!

Heartbreaking, heartwarming, funny, sad, charming, poignant—this book hits many emotions. Fredrik Backman knows people, and his characters are multi-dimensional, complex, and charming. The book is a story within a story, as the retelling of one remarkable summer for four teenage friends is shared during a train ride. Chance encounters, special connections, and the power of good friendship, especially during teenage years. Highly recommend.

I loved it because I am a new big sister!
