2017 Reading Challenge - A Book With one of the four Seasons in the Title

Good Evening bookworms :)

A new week a new book - this week just a shortie ^^
Todays book is for the category - A Book With one of the four Seasons in the Title.
There are quite a few books you can choose for this category even if it took some time until one came to mind ;)
I chose Spring's Awakening majorly because I have it at home for quite a while and I wanted to read it for a pretty long time...So here is


Spring's Awakening
by Frank Wedekind

And as aways I helped myself to a little summary from goodreads:

*

"Spring's Awakening is a tragi-comedy of teenage sex. Its fourteen-year-old heroine, Wendla, is killed by abortion pills. The young Moritz, terrorized by the world around him, and especially by his teachers, shoots himself. The ending seems likely to be the suicide of Moritz's friend, Melchior, but in a confrontation with a mysterious stranger (the famous Masked Man) he finally manages to shed his illusions and face the consequences."

*

I´ll give it a 7 out of 10
Of cause I read it in the original -german- so I cant tell you anything about how good or bad the translations are - if you read it in english ^^ let us know
I´d say it definitely isn´t a book for everyones taste. Beginning with the fact that it is a play and I personally know that there are many people who dislike a book only for that.
In general this book was a good read...I did not have to force myself to read on and it never got boring. There are many interesting characters and some unexpected things are happening.
Many thing every teenager can rely to but of cause you should always remember the time this was written ;)
So all in all a nice story...but all in all nice...not amazing or outstanding.
A classic you can easily read in between and pretty much in one sitting ;)
So let me know what you think? Are you going to read it
