When a book is on the NYT Best Seller list for weeks on end, I tend to pay attention and end up reading it. Rarely am I disappointed, believing that the book has been there so long for a reason. I was not disappointed at all with Where the Crawdads Sing, and was fairly surprised with how much I liked it. It’s not normally one that I would have picked up.

I like books that stick with you after reading them. Usually that is because something at the end happens that makes you think, which this book certainly did me. I love books that have a surprising twist in the end but do so in a satisfying way. This book left me satisfied to the point that I am actually looking forward of the movie adaption that is in the works. I do recommend this book, even if it is not in the genre that you would normally read.
