What have you read?
The book Five Feet apart written by Rachael Lippincott
When did you read it?
In the month of March.
How many pages and how long did it take you?
10 Chapters, so 119 pages. It took me more than three hours.
Was it interesting and why?
The book was really easy to read compared to little women. This is probably also the reason why I
enjoyed it more. The storyline isn’t really special (as in: there are many other story’s that you can
compare it with) so it didn’t feel really special to read. This book is based on a movie. I did never see
it because I found the trailer too ‘cheesie’.
Would you advise a fellow student to read this and
why?
I don’t think a lot of people of my age would like to read this book. It is a little too standard and a lot
of movies also have these kinds of subjects. The writing is propably also too easy for a 16 years old.
So, no don’t read this book. But if you’re under the age of 16 or just like ‘cheesie’ stories than try it!
