Annie John

When I say this book had to grow on me, I don't mean it in the typical sense where you initially don't like what you're reading and then you start liking it more.

Because I never disliked what I was reading, I just felt that it was a very different experience than what I typically read for school.

When I read books for school that I really like, like The Odyssey or Frankenstein, I often find that I'm very consumed with my like for them.

Like, I'm thinking all the time about when I can read them next, what the homework is going to be that night, what discussion questions we're going to have.

And for Annie John, it was a little bit of a different experience.

The book was written in the 80s, so the language is not hard to understand at all.

It's more that the ideas are very complicated and very interesting.

The real thing that grew on me was the characters.

I had a very interesting perspective of the main character, Annie John, for most of the book.

I had a very interesting perspective of her mother for most of the book.

Most of the story revolves around Annie's relationship with her mother, but you see everything about her mother through Annie's eyes, so it's very fascinating.
