Cold Mountain
Charles FrazierI seen the movie before I read the book. He has an interesting voice, some of the lines could stand by themselves as poetry rather than prose. It was sad but I enjoyed it.

The Time Traveler's Wife

Definitely one of the most unusual romances I have ever read. Also the prose is gorgeous, I would definitely recommend it.

The work switches between then and now, there is action, drama, mystery and romance. It is a very well-told tale, the writer has a very good voice, especially the parts featuring older Jakob. One of my favourite parts was the ending, it is perfect. Water For Elephants is a thoroughly enjoyable read. (show less)
