bookworm!

I have 2 book reviews for u kids today!

The first one took me forever to read
for some reason.
But the second one took me like less than a week!


The first one is:
Photobucket


It tells the story about a family man, Mack,
who lost his youngest daughter to a murderer.
He struggles with continuing his life with
such great pain and sorrow.
Until, he gets a note from God to meet him at
the location where his daughter was most likely
murdered.
From there, you see Mack's life change with
some help.


This book was absolutely amazing!
It helped me get a better view of God;
since I have had to deal with losses in my family too.
But it really is a great book to read if you're
in troubly or just have questions.


The next book:
Photobucket


It tells the life of Rent star Anthony Rapp,
when he first auditioned for the muscial.
Anthony tells of his struggles,
including the long process of his dying mother.
Also, explains how he faces with
trust and even his sexuality.


Now, I usually don't read auto-biography's,
but this was just great!
You learn so much from an actor you think
had it easy but actually didn't.
I was also close to tears in many of his references
to his trips home to see his dying mother.

One thing I noticed, though, that to be able
to read this book, you should know what Rent is.
Like, at least have seen the movie
or heard the songs.
He makes a lot of references to the show
and the meaning of the songs.
So, I was able to understand it
because i know the music,
I have seen a filmed last live performance,
and I have seen the movie version!

But yah!
These are two great books!




Later this week, I'll have my blog about my trip
to see Legally Blonde The Musical!
And also my trip to Disneyland
for my birthday!


Bye now!
;D
