My Top 10 Favourite Classics

Reviews11

1984 (adaptation)Michael Dean
Loved it

this is a book that makes you feel very claustrophobic while reading and it also makes you wonder about the parallels between this book and all well today in which we have so many ways to observe each other

Anna KareninaLeo Tolstoy
Loved it

it's a very heartbreaking story it's a story that it's very big there are a lot of pages to this one but whenever I read it I feel like I fly through it in a matter of days because it's well-written it's a lot of story that captivates you and it's just beautiful from beginning to end

I Capture the CastleDodie Smith
Loved it

this one is just a very feel good book about Cassandra our main character and her family who are living in this castle it's a coming-of-age story we follow Cassandra as she writes in her diary and tells us about her everyday life

MarianaMonica Dickens
Loved it

this book surprised me it was beautiful it's a coming-of-age story about this young girl and her childhood and how she grows up and establishes these friendships

Northanger AbbeyJane Austen
Loved it

I think this is my favorite book of Jane Austen's even though it's hard to choose but I like this because it's Victorian and it is macabre we are set in a castle and everything is very mysterious

I loved it for that reason amongst others I find Holden Caulfield to be a very typical teenager and I find that the way we are inside his head and the way we experience what he thinks and how he sees the world it's pretty accurate when it comes to a teenage boy

this is a book that will definitely break your heart it's definitely not for the faint-hearted the ending is one of the best fictional endings I've ever read I was surprised I was shocked but I also felt like that ending played really well with the rest of the story

I've since then read another book of Monica Dickens and loved it almost equally as much and that was the winds of heaven but this one has to be my favorite of the two
