Thorn Birds

Yesterday, I went to the library in search of something to read during Eagle Eye Read. As I was looking through the shelves a worn book caught my eye, "The Thorn Birds". I remembered an episode of "Reba" where the actress Melissa Peterman references the thorn birds when talking about a priest. I immediately picked up the book and started reading the reviewes and read nothing but praise from the critics. I took the book and couldn't wait til I would get a chance to read it. I started into the book after school on my way to Christian County. I could hardly put the book down whe our vehicle stopped. It was so good and I was only 50 pages into the book. There was never a slow part and the descriptions of characters and the landscape were described so well. The book is over 600 pages long and the print is very small; there is no way with all the other things I do that I will be able to finish this book anytime soon unless I decide to stray away from my homework. I've talked to several people about the book and each one of them gush about how much they have looke that book and the movie. I can't wait to read this book and look forward to reading the book and seeing the movie.
