Title: The Cider House Rules
Author: John Irving
Rating: 9.5
I read the Cider House Rules. It was about a doctor who is the director of an orphanage in Maine, his name is Dr. Larch. Then it tells about Homer Wells who sadly doesn't ever get adopted into a family and a loving home. It tells the story of being at the orphanage and how the children learn and what they teach themselves and all the other orphans at St. Clouds. Homer finally thinks he knows what he wants in life, but Dr. Larch tries to stop him because he loves him too much. It tells the life of those two and how close they get. The book was very good and in some ways sad because Homer lost a lot of people in his life. The only complicated thing in the book was that it was hard to understand what the characters were trying to say because they didn't explain them enough.
I really enjoyed this book because it kind of related to my life in some ways. It kind of made me picture what happens in life when you are an orphan and not knowing if you'll get adopted or not. It showed me how strong people can be at times when you know you can't be. It shows how big life can be if you can make it like that. I would recemend this book to anyone who likes reading about people's lives and what will happen in life.
