May Wrap-up part 2

Hi! Today I'm going to finish my May wrap-up. The first four books I've read in May are in the part 1 (surprisingly ;) )

I saw the movie based on the fifth book before I read it so I knew what lay ahead, yet it was an intense experience (pretty rough too). It's Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr. (directed by Darren Aronofsky) and if you read it or watched the movie then you know what I'm talking about. It's a story about three heroin addicted friends and mom of one of the boys (she's taking too much diet pills). They all dream of a better life, but in real life you don't always get what you want. Don't expect it to be a happy ending story, because it deffintely isn't, but I think that not all books are written to make us feel safe or comfortable. Btw the book made it's way to my favourites list ;) 

 

The sixth book is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It's about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his home land to Africa. Along the way he meets diferent kinds of people (some more real than others) and learns to trust his heart and believe in himself. It's a vivid and warming novel, which was exactly what I needed after The Requiem for a Dream. And i put it on my favourites list too ...

And finally the last book of May is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. And if you've never heard of this book I have to ask you something: Are you sure you have been on earth for past two or so years? Because this book is everywhere now! It was the second time i read it, because I wanted to refresh my memory before watching the movie. And I like this book, but it's not my favourite John Green book. And in case you are from Mars here's a picture of the book: 

 

... I'm just joking. I know that some people have an actuall life, go to work, study etc. and not just sit behind their computer for several hours a day watching youtube videos and tumblr ... :D

 Enjoy the rest of the weekend and DFTBA
