I'd Know You Anywhere

Back in middle school when I had more time, I was definitely a more avid reader. I would make sure I finished my homework early so I could have as much time as possible to read my current book. I would read sitting by the fireplace, after I did my homework, or right before I went to bed. Reading took me to another world and really got my mind off of things. That's why I loved it then, and why i still love it now, but i just don't have the time. So I would consider myself a former reader because I did use to read a lot. I never have time to read anymore with my busy lifestyle, even though I want to. Thats why this project is so great; it's getting us to get back into reading the books that WE want to and are not the books we HAVE to.

The current book that I chose to read for this project was I'd Know You Anywhere by Laura Lippman. I initially chose this book because the cover was very cool. I also like mysteries, and Mrs. Maza told me that this was a physiological mystery. Books that are different from anything I would ever think of really pull me in. By reading the back cover, i could tell that this book was not like anything i've ever read. To explain the plot briefly, a women who was kidnapped at the age of 15, but was not killed (unlike the kidnapper's other victims), gets a letter as an adult from the kidnapper on death row asking for her help. Very different right? When I first started reading the book, it took only a chapter to get incorporated with the story and what was going on. I like books similar to these in that it doesn't take long to get into what's happening in the story. The best part about reading this story is that it's a physiological mystery so there is so much to learn about why a women's kidnapper expects her to help him escape death. It's a great book so far that is keeping me on the the edge of my seat continuously wanting more.
