Here On Earth

"Here On Earth" is a wonderful read. I can say that it is basically about a love story gone wrong. Its a sad and unpredictable read. Its about a girl who falls in love with a boy who is brought home by her dad. After her dad dies the boy is treated badly by her older brother who was always jealous of him, he makes him payback everything that was ever given to him and in this the boy leaves and leaves the girl waiting for him. When she sees that he doesn't come back she gets married and leaves the little town. Even while being married and pregnant she speaks to him over the phone but soon she realizes that she cannot continues with her forbidden love. After receiving bad news from back home she is forced to go back home. It is inevitable for the two lovers to exchange paths and when they do love is brought to a whole new level.

I recommend this book to those who enjoy reading sad love stories. You will probably cry after reading the book. It will leave you thinking about the consequences that our actions have sometimes.

Maus

Maus by Art Spiegelman is a unique book about a man's father and his life during the Holocaust. This is a unique book because it is written as a comic, with people represented as animals (for example, the Jews were depicted as mice, where the title "Maus" comes from) Maus is a very serious story, depicting a man's interpretation of life during the Holocaust. It is a must read for anyone that is intrested in World War II, as well as anyone that enjoys comic books.
