Anyone who has read these books, please tell me, are they good or not?!?

Question

The book thief

Girl with a pearl earring

Red Azalea

Answer 1

Define your meaning of good. I read all three, and they are very different from each other. I enjoyed them, but they do not have great adventure, etc in them so if that is what your looking for then no they are not good. But if you want a good quality read, then by all means they are good.

Answer 2

I remember that I loved Red Azalea when I read it, Girl with a Pearl earring was wonderful...I have not read The Book Thief though

Answer 3

I just finished reading "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and it was wonderful. I could not put it down. The author has a great imagination and tells a fantastic story through the eyes of the main character. I plan to buy it to add to my personal library so I can read it again whenever I want.

Answer 4

Red Azalea is a great book, but Anchee Min's other novel, Becoming Madame Mao is better.

Answer 5

I enjoyed Girl with a pearl earring very much. It's written from the point of view of a young girl who must got to work as servant in a Renaissance artist's home in Holland. It's very good.

Answer 6

the book theif is slow paced, but overall very good.

the girl with a pearl earing is written with alot of history and romance (loosely based on a real painter's life). in my opinion (since I have read it twice, listened to the audio CD, and watched the movie) this is a very good book.

I have not read the last one, red azalea.

I recommened Memoirs of a Geisha

OR

Books by Phillipa Gregory

Answer 7

All three were decent. Please be more specific, because it's hard to tell what you mean by "good". Well written? Grammatically correct? Moving? Thought-provoking? Action packed? Those are all things to look for in a book, so please don't be so vague.
