BOOK REVIEW: GRAMMATICAL ERRORS Hi! I've recently written a book review, and grammar is not exactly my thing. If you could possibly highlight my errors and make suggestions it would mean the world to me! Thank you! Here goes: Northern California at the violent end of the 1960s. Evie, consumed in the rush of adolescence is lulled to The Girls. Particularly enchanted by an older girl, Suzanne, who feeds Evie's desperation to be loved, needed – wanted. But nothing gold can stay, and soon horrible violence unravels, changes Evie's world as she knows it. Never has a book sent me into such a deep spiral of confusion. This book repulsed me, drove me away. Yet it pulled me further in, deeper into its twisted and cruel reality. Cline's writing is enthralling, and evoked emotions and reactions in me I didn't know I was capable of. The Girls is memorable. I've never read a book that thrilled me, scared me in a way that I couldn't explain. Why should I relate to and understand Evie? A girl who chooses to join a violent and erratic cult out of pure and pathetic desperation? The plot-line of this book drove me insane, the cult - The Girls, and their way of living. The vicious murders conducted with no hesitation. It put me off, hardcore. Yet there was something else - something indescribable that attracted me to it, which kept me turning the pages. Cline's writing is so vivid, she weaves together words that flow with such ease. There's something about the truth, that's written in her words that draws us to it more. She confronts us. She shows us the world through lenses we are too afraid to look through. She connects to the part of us that is too afraid to feel this way, confronts our flaws, our insecurities. Reminds us of how mundane life is. How someone you idolised as a child, someone you thought was special – someone who once ignited a spark in you can cease to evoke that reaction after time unfolds; how they end up being as mundane and boring as everyone else, and just become nothing more than a passing face. All in all, I've never been left in such conflict after reading a book. Though I despise it for it's haunting storyline, I have to say I enjoyed it for it's harsh reality, and how Cline crafted it to highlight issues within society and ourselves. It's definitely something to read if you're ready to commit to it in it's full twisted, exotic and enthralling glory.
