نفسي اقرأ لمحمود شقير

This book was suprisingly enjoyable since memorials are not usually any fun. The way the story is told in is genius. I like how it is written in first person point of view AND a memorial not an autobiography. It was pretty confusing at the beginning but I got used to the style. The ending is touching. I gave it 3 stars because most of the time the story would get a little boring but you can learn a lot from it.

حلوة فكرة الكتاب !

حبيت كيف إستخدم سيرتها الذاتية بقلمها و كتبها بشكل ' رواية ' مع الحفاظ على السيرة الذاتية الاساسية مختصرة الاحداث و واضحة للقارىء المستهدف ( المراهق / الناشئة ) .

[SahooraQ]

ممتعة على بساطتها
