A very informative book on various underworlds in different cultures. It's nice to get a glimpse of what different societies thought about the afterlife.

Read as a school assignment. I enjoyed it, even if it was written in an older style. This aspect didn't make it hard to follow and the story went along smoothly.

I've never actually read an archaeological-type book from cover to cover except for this one. It gives stunning detail of Jesus and his family's lives and their deaths.

An assignment for school, so not something i would have chosen on my own. A very easy, one day read. A little strange, but a typical book about a struggling teenager.

This is supposed to be one of the greatest American novels ever written, but I found it to be somewhere in the middle. The story is full of drinking and partying, not something I am or will be interested in. The love story is just another hopeless one that ends in tragedy, as always. The characters were mainly ones that I disliked, apart from the narrator, Nick, and Gatsby himself. I found that it rushed along the storyline, but it was still readable. Another school assignment, but I'm glad that I read it. I like being able to say that I've read a classic.
