A Beauty of a Novel


Managed to read a book over Christmas break.. Yay! Finished Zadie Smiths' third novel, and in my opinion, best novel - "On Beauty". Perhaps the subject matter was just too close to my heart at the time, but I found it to be a sad and beautifully written novel. The charachters were so real, the dialogue was like listening to friends chatting. As always, it twisted at the end to make everything and everyone come together - and the last lines were so hopeful and sweet that I'll read the last chapter many times over. I'd recommend it to anyone - it's such a cliche, but I laughed, I cried.. and I'll read it again.
