The Lord of the Rings

by J. R. R. Tolkien
- Rated 3 stars
“The proof that a good fairy tale can sweeten one's evenings in a great way. Good character development, interesting mythology and languages created by the author and a truly engaging story. I wish I hadn't seen the movie first. It spoiled some of the fun.”

To Kill a Mockingbird

by Harper Lee
- Rated 5 stars
“One of the few books that made me laugh and feel strong emotion at the same time. Brilliant writing is not enough said. The only thing better than the plot is the development of the characters, their perspective and the dialogues.
Definitely on of the books that will haunt me pleasantly throughout my reading "career".”
