Best Books To Read In 2015

You know what that means: best-of lists have been made and the piles of books to read have grown. This is a list of the best books written by each author. This is a list of the best books written by each critic. But what about the people who read? Here are a few of the great reviews they wrote about their favorite books of the year.

Among them: Marlon James won the Man Booker Prize for his powerful book about violence in Jamaica in the 1970s. They also include some of the most anticipated books, like Elena Ferrante's last book in her Neapolitan series or Jonathan Franzen's return, and some of the most talked about books, like Hanya Yanagihara's huge A Little Life, which has sparked heated debates among readers and critics. But our readers also say that our fantasy fiction, nature memoir, and travel writing are some of the best they've ever read. In your own words, these are the books you think are worth reading.

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

In Yanagihara's Man Booker Prize-nominated novel, the friendship of four men in New York City is shown over the course of their lives. It also talks about the effects of child abuse, and there's been a lot of debate about it. It was the one that our readers chose the most.

"The most interesting story about human pain I've read in a long time." In this story, the main character was abused when she was a child. The abuse left her unable to find peace or what we usually call a "normal life." Riveting.” Joe Fantetti: I don't know what to say about this

"This made me cry, shiver, smile, and be utterly enthralled all the way through." Sid

"Amazing - hard but full of love." In this case, the name of the person is Lisa Butcher

Not one book has ever gone so deeply into me. When I dreamed about Jude, he was so real to me that I woke up in the middle of the night crying. In some places, it's not perfect, but it's so well-written and heartfelt that it deserves all the praise it can get. Joanne Finney: I'm Joanne Finney, and this

The Story of a Lost Child by Elena Ferrante

The final part of Ferrante's four-part Neapolitan novels, which follow the lives and friendship of two women, has been a big hit with both critics and readers.

Neapolitan by Elena Ferrante is based on a time when fiction didn't try to shock, teach, or impress. It's like a time machine." As if Austen and Verga, Dostoevsky and Stendhal wrote a history of Naples after the war, it tells us everything we need to know about friendship and the fight for true feminism. It's like they all sat down at the same time and decided to write it. Everything else, too. Ferrante is one of the most interesting people in modern literature, if not the most interesting person in the whole world today. Davide Ferrauto is a person who works for a company called (New York)

"The last of Ferrante's Neapolitan novels shows Lila and Elena as adults who are getting old." This is what her writing does: It digs into the deep and hidden places in her mind and heart, as well as complicated friendships. This book is by far the best study of women's lives, challenges, and relationships I've ever seen or read about. When Diane E. Hamlin was a little girl, she used to play with doll

"A wonderful ending to the Neapolitan novels." Deep in psychology, well-versed in detail, and a must-read. People who know Patrick Dyer say that he is a

A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson

Atkinson's follow-up to her best-selling book, which was also her first. Life After Life is about Teddy Todd, a Second World War RAF bomber pilot. It tells the story of his life.

...while playing some fun games with the form." Absolutely enchanting," says the author. It's Alun Lewis.

Building on the great foundation of Life After Life, this is a beautiful project." I wept and laughed (in that order I think). The more Issy and everyone else, the better. Please, let's have more of everything. Every character should have their own volume." Robert Thursfield is the name of a person who works for the

The best book I've read this year was it. I've already read 202 books this year (although not all from 2015). It doesn't matter what a book is about, as long as it's well-written. Everything is in the telling. It was Tom Rosenthal who came up with the idea for this

A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James

When Bob Marley was trying to be killed, this year's Man Booker winner talks about that and how the guns came into the country and CIA agents came to live there.

"It's violent at times, and the sex scenes are a little strong for my taste, but dammit, Marlon James knows how to make these characters come to life. They're flawed and selfish and stuck in a world that I'll never be able to visit, but when Marlon James writes about it, I have no problem spending a few hours there." As a winner of the Booker Prize because of how well it was written, it was a great choice. As a thank you, Marlon James taught me the word bombocloth. A man by the name of Graham Vingoe says that he is

This book is "far-reaching and epic, complex and heart-breaking, scary, filled with breathtaking cursing and violence, but still poetic," it says. Esme

Great use of perspective and voice! It also shines a light on a time and place in history (Jamaican gun law and politics in the 1970s) that hasn't been talked about much in literature before now (in music yes, in literature not). It also shows that blowback isn't just something that happens in the Middle East. The CIA's interference in Jamaica leads to Yardie drug possession in major American cities a decade later. A lot of the main parts of the story are either true or are thought to be true. It's been done very well. He himself says, "If it doesn't go so well, it almost does." In this case, Guy Hearn is the person.

A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler

Tyler's 20th book, which was a picture of American home life, made the Baileys and Man Booker shortlists.

They were so well-defined that I felt like I was reading a family picture book. In the way the author has written about everyday family life, there is a lot of beauty. When the book came to an end, I felt alone. When Kimberly Shields was a child, she had a lot of fun

"I liked the mix of good and bad traits that family members had, as well as the way Anne Tyler's excruciatingly detailed portrayal of family life and its history made me laugh and cry." The name of Pamela Aveyard is

"A heartfelt and poignant book about family dynamics and secrets." Jane Kirby is a person who likes to write.

 Purity by Jonathan Franzen

Franzen's new book was one of the most talked about of the year, and even though the author isn't everyone's favorite, it didn't disappoint many people.

"Franzen's last book is very easy to read and interesting." Despite the fact that Purity is not as good as Freedom or The Corrections, it is still a good book that talks about how social media affects communication, perceptions, and even one's sense of self. It also talks about how privacy and transparency work on the internet. Franzen's comparison of East German totalitarianism and the dictatorship of the World Wide Web might be a little over the top, but it certainly makes you think about how different these two things are. Martyna

If you're looking for a book to read this year, this one was the most interesting, thought-provoking, and at times, frustrating one. It was also very large and had a lot of interesting characters and plot lines. Franzen is at his best when writing. At the end of the day, Jason Bright was happy

There are words on every page that are just right to describe the most confusing feelings, experiences, and beliefs. Lil
