Book Review: The Death Class: A True Story About Life by Erika Hayasaki

Hi everyone!
I hope you all are doing well! Now this book was in my February favorites and I have been dying to review it! So here it is!

This book is called The Death Class:True Story About Life.

Summary: This book is through the eyes of a journalist who goes to a  Kean University and follows around a professor named Norma Bowe, who teaches a class about death. Through out the book, you find out the stories about five students, the journalist and the professor. The book is filled with truth, heartache, death, tragedy, and addiction.

My Opinion: This book was incredible! This book really opens your eyes about life and death. Most of the deaths that they talk about in the book are from people who have been killed. This book is a page turner and once you pick it up, you will not want to put it down. I also liked how even though this book was sad, there were happy moments throughout the book and you just cherished them. Also, when the I slowly started learning about everyone stories, it made me realize that you really cannot judge a book by it's cover because you have no idea what a person has gone through. That was something that really stood out to me. The biggest thing that shocked me was when I found out that this was a true story. That there really is a Norma Bowe who teaches a death class at a university. It makes me want to go to that university, just to take her class.

I think everyone should read this book. It is just so honest about life and the tragedies of it. I do not really like books like this because I am more into happy books but I am so glad I read this book because it really opened my eyes on life, death and people. I do not recommend this book to anyone younger than 16. This book has some pretty graphic scenes and this book is for more mature readers.

I really hope you all read this book and please let me know what you think of it! If there is any book you want me to read and review, please let me know because I will be more than happy to! :)

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called  Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs .  Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and  figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health p...
