I think it was only me but it took me a long time to get through this book. 'Long time' as in about seven freaking days. I just didn't get into it until the last few chapters. But I did eventually fall in love with this book, though. How could I not while reading Melina Marchetta's book? Three words...
I haven’t read Saving Francesca yet… but from reading reviews of it, it seemed Tom MacKee was quite the guy. So to say that I was excited to get started on his story might be an understatement. I love Melina Marchetta; she and John Green are probably two of my favorite YA contemporary writers. Now, ...
Well dear world, there is only one Melina Marchetta! Sincerely, meReview also posted at Ja čitam, a ti?I have no idea why I'm still try to write reviews for Melina's books.

While some writers will take a small detour to make some unlikeable supporting character human, Marchetta makes me fall in l...

I'm finding it hard to describe what I liked about this book, so I'll keep this short. The Piper's Son contains so many plot elements--alcoholism, pregnancy, broken families, violent and unexplained deaths, music-making, and regaining lost love--which all manage to come together in this sad but ulti...
THIS BOOK DESERVES MORE THAN FIVE STARS!Seriously Melina Marchetta, can't you write so beautifully enough? This one got to my CORE. And it expresses a lot of emotions from me which I didn't thought I had. This doesn't just made me think and feel but it also made me realize in so many aspects in myse...
