The Jewish Dog by Asher Kravitz
The story is told by a dog, a Jewish dog, born in a Jewish home in the days prior to WWII and walks you through the days of the war.
Friendship and loyalty is what the story is about.
The story is fluent and light and the wars is only in the background.

Having a family of my own have grown feelings and emotions i didn't have before...
The end brought tears to my eyes...real tears!

I finished reading Niloofar by Ron Leshem.
The story developed well during the majority of the book and then it felt like the author was rushing to finish the book and brings it to an end within a chapter or two.
I would say the end is kind of depressing, i have no idea if that's what the author meant to do.
All in all - readable novel, but i've read betters.

So it turns out that "To the End of the Land" by David Grossman is unreadable.

So i switched to "Niloofar" by Ron Leshem, so far it is interesting enough to keep reading it.
The story is about a young student in Iran which moved from his hometown to Teheran to live with his ex-Famous Hunt.
The story takes place in present time.

I'll post again when I'll finish reading.

I finished reading "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini.
It is a sad story with lots of tragedy.
It has 'down' moments and some 'high' moments.
when you feel things are getting better...they take a turn for the worst.

But hope is out there...

February is here

Well February is here again...and my birthday is around the corner.
Like the last year, this year I will be celebrating my b-day with the twins.
The kids have grown so much this year...it's amazing!!
They run, climb, chat, play, push, hit, cry and laugh all at the same time.
Today I took them to take the swine flew shot (2nd quota), they cried a little bit, but all in all feel good.

about me,
Currently reading "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini.
So far it is an interesting novel.

So it is the end of the year again and time for summaries.
This year the kids have grown and started to walk and run and fall.
They have said their first words.

Just another busy morning

 

Hi,

Still have to check for emails while having my morning cup of coffee.
