Possibly one of the best books I've read in ages, the writing is gorgeous. The story is about a girl shuffled from foster home to foster home. She has attachment issues. The book opens with her eighteenth birthday as she is being kicked out of the “system”. This makes the story sound awful and sad. ...
I have heard a lot of wonderful things about The Language of Flowers and I must say a lot of the hype surrounding this book is warranted. The author did her research. The writing is beautiful and easy to follow. I thought I might hate it because a book about a girl who is obsessed with gardening and...
I'd give this a 4.8 because this was a really really good book. The writing is absolutely amazing and it really makes you want to keep reading. But there was just something missing and I'm not quite sure what it is!
This book frustrated me. One minutes I'm routing for Victoria, and the next she makes me angry. This girl is probably the most "broken" girl I've ever read about. When I first started the book, I thought the author went into too much detail about Victoria's emotions. As I read further, I realize...
Initially The Language of Flowers intrigued me because of Victoria's troubled past and the use of the meanings of flowers to communicate via flowers rather than words. But unfortunately flowers were not able to cover up the fact that the protagonist of this novel is unbearably idiotic and moody. Vic...
I am mixed about this book. There were parts of it I loved - the concept of sending messages with plants and even the magical power plants can have on a relationship (which makes me doomed since plants have a tendency to wither and die under my care). I loved the local setting in San Francisco and...
Not too many books have made me cry this year. That's not a normal thing as I am usually an emotional person who cries fairly easily. But not this year. Perhaps it's because I've toughened up and become desensitized, I don't know, or perhaps it's because I've gotten pickier and liked much less of wh...
This is a well written and compelling story. I just spent 30 minutes writing this review only to have the computer crash on me and erase it. So...now you get the short version. It is a good read, the story is worth it, but there is not anything profoud here and (as always) I had quite a few silly ...
This book is beautiful. Through the language of flowers - from the rootless maternal love of moss, the heart that hasn't known love of the white rose, the time of the white poplar - it explores the many facets of love and life that we all experience, but maybe don't stop to appreciate. A broken and ...
