is there some way i can take back all the times you threw awayHere's a song for you to
listen to.
Kate Miller-Heidke, a new Brisbane artist. Trained as an opera singer as well. A very different style she has. The song is titled "
Words."
---------------Now for my very first book review. I've recently finished this book entitled "
Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl.
It's not about physics. It's about a girl named Blue van Meer who uncovers secrets of those around her, and in the process has several life-changing experiences.
She finds her teacher, in the beginning of the book hung from an electrical cord. Her former friends, the Bluebloods blame her because they think she killed their teacher due to the fact that she was there.
So the book tells of Blue's story of how she came to know the teacher and the Bluebloods, and her dealings with them and how she came to solve he mystery in the end. Oh, and should i mention her dad was a man prone to having short affairs resulting in her moving from town to town, ending up leaving her with no long-term friendships, making her a lonely person?
The book is rather interesting, the quotations are good (Blue's dad, being a political science professor has a lot of reference books, and Blue uses them to illustrate her thoughts), but the book is really thick- 700 pages! But 700 pages isn't really that long if you enjoy the book! =D
