#roller-coaster

“I don’t know, man… this really seems like a lot. And remember that time at the fair? That didn’t end up fun either.”

“Oh, Scotty, that was one time,” Stiles says, clapping a hand on his best friend’s back and flashing him a bright grin. “Besides, you’re a True Alpha now—you’ve fought the worst of the supernatural world. A little roller coaster won’t kill you!”

Scott frowns, staring up at the towering ride. It didn’t look small at all, and the free-fall drop near the end had his stomach already twisting. He thought his worries were perfectly reasonable considering this—and what if he threw up and ruined the rare day they finally found to hang out, just the two of them?

But Stiles’s grin and bouncing excitement wore him down, so they spent nearly half an hour waiting in line before finally getting strapped into the front row, Stiles practically vibrating in his seat.

I can never find the right words to describe how absolutely amazing this book is.

It talks about the life of two afghani boys coming from very different families bond with the innocence of childhood. As they grow, we see how the emotional need for validation corrupts their thought process and drifts them apart. We read about the differences in their lifestyle, how differently life treats them and the role war plays in their lives.

The diction of this book is as beautiful as can be. The way in which the author describes things really puts a picture in your head, one that is hard to get out.

It's a book which can be called an emotional roller-coaster and it really helps develop one's character. This is a book that changes perspectives.

Today, I went on this ride.

There's a sign outside that said "actors inside" so, naturally, I said to my husband...

"Oooh I hope Jeffrey Dean Morgan is in there, I'll just ride him instead."

Hubby laughed. Hubby knows me well.
