Book: Where the Crawdads Sing
Author: Delia Owens Publisher: G.P. Putnam's Sons Stars: ***** I was hesitant to read this book because it had so much hype behind it. Every where I turned people gushed about how good it was and how everyone needs to read this book. I finally picked it up and I didn't want to put it down! Delia Owens crafted a wonderful, lyrical book. Not only do the Crawdads Sing in this one but so does the author. Her words spoke to me. It was like her words were just one long poem or song. It has been a long time since i have felt this way over a book. This one really deserves the 5 stars I have rewarded it. The main character Kya Clark grows up in front of your eyes. She is strong. She stands up for herself. She is a modern day Scout. Delia's writing transports you to North Carolina. She creates such an atmosphere that you really feel like you are there. Her characterization is so vivid. You fell like you know Tate, Kya, Jumpin' Mabel and Chase. Pick up this book. Believe the hype. This debut novel is beautiful in every sense of the word. I feel like you will see these characters on the movie screen someday. ***Thank you NetGalley, Delia Owens, and G. P. Putnum's Sons for the advance review copy in exchange for an honest review. ***
