I started off really liking this book It is about a woman, Stella, who has a deep fear of leaving her apartment she shares with her cat and boyfriend She works as an aromatherapist from home so that she doesn t have to leave She can also constantly smell gas in the apartment, despite all the appliances being electric.I ve always been really interested in books about people with mental disorders it s interesting to see the world through a new pair of eyes And this particular one started out very [...]

This book is only 173 pages amd covers the span of five days Stella is obviously a troubled woman, one that I wanted to shake a few times, but she was also a sympathetic character The language was sparse, but beautiful and the book was a joy to read I admit that I did not see the end coming Which is part of my small problem with the book The end seemed to come out of nowhere, with little warning It felt a little off from the rest of the novelere s on my blog stacybuckeye.wordpress 200

Yellow is one of the most captivating, well written books I ve ever read I m still not totally sure what happened though.

Read my thoughts at Thoughts of Joy

Bleh I couldn t even muster up 3 stars for this book Sometimes it s interesting to see inside the mind of a disturbed person, but not this time.

Beautiful, spare writing that still manages to impart vivid detail And if you enjoy reading about psychological dysfunction of any sort, you ll be hooked I know I was

A strange book Creepy and weird.

really weird.
