Book 59: Sexing The Cherry

Sexing The Cherry has very quickly made it to my list of favourite books. Normally before I put a book on this list I spend many hours in deep contemplation about whether or not the book really deserves this great and high honor but when I was halfway through Sexing the Cherry it became apparent to me that to not give this book that high honor would be a disgrace and that I should give up on reading all together for the rest of my days.

As many of the other books I have read recently it raises many questions about the nature of love amongst many other issues that we face in our society. I would go as far as to that this book has changed my life. I found it while looking in a window display at school and thought it sounded interesting so I decided to read it.

As FYP keeps on telling me language falls short most of the time when trying to describe something we have seen, experienced or felt this would 100% true of this situation. I have no words to use to try and tell you how great this book is or why you should read it. It has been the singular most moving book I've read so far this year, which is saying something because I have read quite a bit.  I give this book 10 bananas out of 10. I know some people do not feel as strongly about this book as I do and that many people didn't enjoy it much and thought the ending was very weird. Although the book was at times unconventional it brings out so things that we could spend years exploring. I strongly recommend this book.
