^^I want to read Frankenstein! Hope it's good and you enjoy it!

Recently I bought/got guides to berlin and italy, Eat Pray Love, Palo Alto (by James Franco) and a special magazine issue about Frank Zappa. :D I'm reading all at once, I always read four or five books at the same time ^_^

Ooo I've seen that James Franco book, it's got such an amazing cover. Would love to know what you think of it.
 
Seriously? I love it! :heart: :heart: :heart:
He wrote short stories that talk about high school teenagers, that are a bit lost in between kid and adult stage, and go through the rough of it all, being the outsider and trying to find their place.
It's an easy read, but there's still a good writing style, you get into the story right away and kind of related to the characters.
Also I love how he places the scenes with little subtle hints like we were watching this on tv or we were partying for this occasion.
There are recurring names, so I'm guessing it's about a group of people and that he talks about Palo Alto at one point in time but through different views.

Anyway ^_^ Maybe I'm biased because I really admire all his work, but I recommand it!

^ In general i love biographical books and movies, and learning about allen, his work, the polemic it started, how society was back then was very interesting.
I just thought the images they made to illustrate the text were particular, not my style but it really goes with the time period and poems he wrote. :smile:
