Hey guys!
I somehow managed to finish another book! So far I’ve only finished 3 books, which in my opinion is really disappointing, since I wanted to finish at least 5 books by the end of summer. That is of course my own fault, since I’m too lazy and find it easier to just watch Netflix.
Anyway, I already introduced you guys to this book (here). I bought it along with some books for uni. I only heard about the movie AFTER I placed my order, so I told myself that I wanted to read the book before I watched the movie.
Books tend to have more detailed descriptions, character’s thoughts and let the reader visualize the scenaries by themselves. It’s always something else and I love it.
Call me by your name is a book by André Achiman, and the story takes place in Italy in the 70’s. The main character is the 17 year old boy Elio, who is a son of a lector. His family rents room for guests during summer, and this is how he meets the american lector Oliver.
I think it was an interesting book for the most part, but some parts of the book lost me, and it took me days to get through some pages since there wasn’t happening anything interesting in the story line. Other times it was just hard to put the book down. It was a 50/50 thing.
I’m not gonna lie but it was definitely my first erotic book, so it was a little hard (and awkward) for me to get through it. I’m literally wondering how people do it so casually, haha.
It was definitely a challenging and different book, but I loved the story-line and how intellectual the young main character is and how he simply wonder about things normal 17 year olds usually don’t. If you’re not used to these kinds of books and want to challenge yourself or need a warm up or for books like, I don’t know, fifthy shades? Then try this one 😉
