Orchards

I read Orchards in one evening! It’s actually not that fast-paced of a book though: The plot is casual, but intense; it has a way of gripping you, and giving a slow obsession to your mind. The book is written in verse, so points are distinct, and certain words really have a jagged quality when put solitary onto a page. It spikes into your heart, and you only realize that at the moment it happens. People actually die in this book; people actually laugh in this book. It shows you just how human extreme emotions can be.
