Well I finished reading "Winter´s Bone" 4 days ago, and the last 20 pages are pretty stunning!!!
Because Ree gets beaten up and nearly killed. But she does not give up. Suddenly 3 women appear and say that they want to help her. So they drive Ree to a see , where they say her father has died. When they get there Ree finds him, but then one woman gives her a chainsaw and say:" Girl, you need to cut off his hand to proove that he really is dead" I was really shocked when I read that. But Ree is the female hero, and she actually does it. THE END
I think the book is good written and sometimes thrilling but really not as awesome as the critics say, it´s not a masterpiece. After I finished reading "Winter´s Bone" I started reading "Looking for Alaska" ,by John Green who is by the way kind of my favorite author, and it is just great but unfortunateley I bought it in German.

Well I started reading "Winter´s Bone " by Daniel Woodrell and it´s quite good. I don´t think the book is as awesome as the critics say, but it´ s very well written and sometimes really thrilling. Oh maybe i should tell you what it is about.
The main character is the 16-year-old Ree Dolly , she lives with her 2 younger brothers and her sick mother in the Ozark Mountains. One day a police officer appears and tells her that her father , who left them some months ago, didn´t pay the bill for their house and that they have to leave it in some months. So Ree Dolly drives through the whole town for some help and she realizes that her father had many enemies and that her curiosity about what happend to him is very unwelcome. The officer visites her a second time and tells her that if she can prove the death of her father, she must not move from her home. After some time she also gets help from her uncle "Teardrop".
Well I couldn´t read further. But I´ll tell you next week how the book ends
