I really liked these books because I loved how Meyer managed to create a world where everything was perfectly normal except for this one special family of vampires. I loved how she brought a totally different third person into their lives in order for the readers to understand the family's depth.
The Deception Point by Dan Brown
This book really made an impact on me because the thriller aspect of it was so intense, that while reading it I felt like I was watching a movie. The language Dan Brown used was very detailed that it really painted a picture in front of you.
The Cat Who Sniffed Glue by Lilian Jackson Braun
To be honest, I first picked up this book because of the interesting title. However, when I started reading it I came to enjoy the murder mystery where you never learnt who the real murderer was.
Digital Fortress by Dan Brown
As it was written by the same author, this book made the same impact on me as the Deception Point. Also, I liked how Brown managed to tell the story using different people at different times like Hemingway did in The Sun Also Rises
Watership Down by Richard Adams
I really liked this novel because I thought it was interesting how Adams managed to display the rabbits as creatures that had this epic adventure.
Almost Single by Advaita Kala
This girly book made an impression on me because I found it really funny, yet surprisingly true for many older,
single, Indian women that I know.
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
The biggest impression that this book made on me was that it has probably been the saddest book I ever read. I
originally read it because I wanted to see the movie, and I loved them both.
Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard & Florence Atwater
This was my favorite book as a child and has always stayed as one of my favorites because I love how Mr. Popper comes up with the idea to bring home penguins and then turn his basement into an ice room, and on top of that turn them into an entertainment show.
The BFG by Rohd Dahl
Another childhood favorite, this book always entertained me because I love Dahl's quirky writing styles and interesting novel ideas.
I believe that your number one really needs to be reconsidered...
ReplyDeleteSalona, I was actually expecting more people to mention the Twilight series because it's become so popular the last few years (and not just with female readers). But the one on your list that really hits me is Watership Down, which absolutely would have been on my list if I'd thought of it while I was writing my list. A great adventure story.
