The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

This book was really enlightening and I felt captivated the entire time reading it. I loved how realistic the story was, and the setting of the book was like nothing I've ever read before. The way politics were weaved into the book was really interesting and it was so smoothly done- I didn't realize until I would finish reading an entire paragraph about Russia that it was historic. The love story of Tomas and his mistresses Tereza and Sabina was really intense and I loved how the author used his diction to create the perfect mood. There were really intense scenes, when the two mistresses would be together, not knowing they were both involved with the same man. Sabrina, being an artist asks Tereza to do a nude drawing of each other. Tereza's upbringing was particularly weird-her mother was extremely open to nudity-which is why I was shocked when Tereza agreed to do the painting. The event was so odd, but at the same time shows how different people are in other countries. There life styles are polar opposites from the US. This book was so enjoyable and definetly want to read another book of Milan Kundera.

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk

This book was such an exciting read. There were so many twists it was quite hard to follow. I loved how everything came together at the end, because from the beginning I had no idea what was going on. The main character Shannon McFarland starts out in the novel being in a house fire, but we do not find out it was her until the end of the story. Through out the book, we find out about Shannon's life. Shannon was once a model, and lost her lower jaw in a car accident. The accident leaves her being unable to speak, and she goes from being the center of attention to being invisible. The bizzare story leads us to the journey of Shannon and her friend Evie hoping to find something exciting to do with their lives. In the end of the story, Shannon ends up killing herself. This book was so captivating and i really enjoyed the odd humor of this mysterious read.

Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer

The final saga of the Eclipse series Breaking Dawn was amazing. Bella and Edward are finally married, and with that comes trouble with Jacob. Bella wants to change into a vampire ASAP but Edward wants her to experience "human" things before changing. When Edward and Bella go on their honeymoon however, things become very different. Bella becomes pregnant, and the "thing" inside of her is killing her. The baby wants blood, and the only way for it to come out is by ripping through Bella. Edwards only choice is to change her, so their child doesn't kill her. The story was split into three parts-Edward, Bella, and Jacob. I thought that was very creative because it gave the reader a better understanding of how each character was truly feeling. The book was a very easy read, but so captivating. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys love stories, and action.
