I've finished another book. I attempted to read the 2nd novel in the Outlander series, and I just couldn't do it, so I gave up, and picked up this hardcover novel that I had found in a used book bin at either Frenchie's or the used bookstore. Anyway, this novel is called Gentlemen & Players by Joanne Harris. It was an amazing book, and I would definitely recommend it to friends. It's kind of a suspense novel, but really, I'm not sure how to categorize it. It's strange, but it seems that every random novel I find that is cheap and doesn't appear to have many reviews, is typically the best novel I've read in a long time, while when I spend good money on a popular novel, I end up hating it, and sending it to the used bookstore anyway.
Anyway Gentlemen & Players is about this person who wants to get revenge on a posh private school. They plan out this huge plot, and follows through with it all. At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but slowly, I really started to like certain characters (however, sometimes I had a hard time keeping their positions within the school straight), and at the end, I was so surprised by the turn of events and changes in character, that I couldn't help but like it! It was so unexpected, that you had no idea that it was going to happen.
I know I kind of keep things aloof for the synopses, but that's mostly because I don't want to give anything away and I want you to go out and read it for yourself. Alright, I'm gonna attempt to read another (or at least start) book. It's going to be a busy weekend, so we'll see how far we get. Until next time, Happy Reading!
