I loved this book! I haven’t read a book since the Harry Potter series. I couldn’t get into reading for a while. Geez, wth was I doing with my life for the past 7 years? I find it hard to find a good book. I still haven’t figured out my genre. I mean, I love everything: fantasy, comics, romance, poetry. I am very picky about authors. I view literature as a form of art, and not everyone is artsy. I’m not only in it to read the story, if the writing is wrong, I can’t get passed the first chapter.

For example, 50 Shades of Grey. I’m sure it’s a great story, but I just couldn’t get passed the syntax errors. I would sit and stare at the sentences and I just wanted to get my red pen out. I felt as if a teenager wrote that book. Maybe if I was in high school, I could have read it. On the other end of the spectrum, Inferno (by Dan Brown). Although his writing is superb, the story was a formula, and I couldn’t get into it. The only thing that kept me going was how his words just flowed to the next page. I only read 3/4 of the book, I couldn’t do it anymore.

Gray Mountain was able to satisfy both: writing and story. The story is great. It caught my attention because I am an animal and environmental activist. It really fascinates me how man/ego thinks they can control everything. The story is about mining and companies blasting mountains for the money. Seriously, how big is your ego to think that this planet is yours? It’s sad.

Anyways, I really recommend this book! It as adventure, a little bit of romance, and some great people.

I found a quiz on facebook “Which Classic Literary Character Are You?” and I got Jane Eyre. I have never heard of this book before, but since I am like her, I’m sure to like it right? I bought the book, it should be here this week. I’m excited!
