Reading the book

The Invention of Wings

       Reading the book the “The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd” was one of my greatest achievements this semester. First of all before starting to read the book I took my time to learn about the author, Sue Monk Kidd and the previous books she had written. After knowing about the author, it was then that I knew this book would be a master piece. After identifying that the book was organized into six parts I organized myself and put my own targets to finish the book. I gave myself a week to finish it, considering my schedule.

​I was able to finish Part 1 of the book within two days and that set my pace for reading the book. Part one of the book made me want to know more of how the story unfolds. As I was reading the book I was often moved by the suffering of the slaves and there were instances that I could really feel their pain.However, this did not stop my zeal to want to finish reading the book, instead I wanted to know more about how what Sarah would do and what would happen to their friendship. As I started the second part I found the story being even more interesting and thus I found myself reading the book even more than I thought I would. On the third day, I was already way ahead of my schedule since I was through with the third Part of the book. Keeping in mind I had only three parts remaining to complete the book and 4 days remaining as per my schedule, I knew that I had ample time to understand the book effectively. 

       Having completed the third part I couldn’t wait to start on the fourth part since the book kept being more captivating as I went on reading. As I was reading through the fourth part of the book I was so excited and I kept thinking that the liberation was close and that the slaves would be free within no time. This is because in this part of the book, we see Denmark as the hero and I was sure that he would deliver the slaves. After finishing the fourth part I realized that would not be happening any sooner since their hero at that time had been killed. This never killed my hopes of reading but rather I was curious to know more about what Sue Monk Kidd had for us in the later parts of the book. Congratulating myself for completing the four parts of the book, I settled down to finish the remaining two parts of the book. The last sections of the book were even better and left me happy. The ending of the book was marvelous and left me smiling.
