"The human heart has hidden treasures, in secret kept, in silence sealed; the thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, whose charms were broken if revealed." -Charlotte Brontë

In the Woods
In the Woods, by Tana French is the most fantastic book I have EVER read. She is phenomenal.
I am about to start her second book, The Likeness. Jeez... she is my idol.
Reasons I love her writing:
1. She is Irish.
2. You instantly feel attached to her characters.
3. Her stories take place in Ireland.
4. Her ideas are fresh.
5. Her style is choppy.
6. She uses European lingo. Ex: "Bollocks, fags (cigarettes), bloody, bleeding, shite (my Irish grandparents say this all the time), torch (flashlight)..." I could go on and on about the slang used there.
7.The book's emotions bled into me the whole way through.
Please read it if you haven't already.
