Review of Gently Falls the Book Bakula


Gently Falls the Bakula is one of my favorite books.

The story of Gently Falls the Bakula is so beautiful that even after years of reading it, I still remember the story as if I had just read it yesterday only. Even though this book is fiction, the story feels so real and relatable. There is no exaggeration or complicated world-building. It’s simple and heart-touching with a story you will always remember.

The title of the book is very suitable for the story. The cover is simple yet beautiful. I liked it a lot.

Also, the character description is amazing. You easily get invested in the characters and their emotions. Even after so many years of reading this book, I can still remember the characters’ every emotion and what they might have felt or gone through.

The narration of Gently Falls the Bakula is also amazing. It flows very easily.

The pace of the book is a bit slow. But it doesn’t matter as the story, is so beautifully written, that its pace is hardly any concern and doesn’t make the story a bore.

The ending is very also very apt. Though the book doesn’t end with a happy ending, I still love it because it has a realistic ending. Normally, I only pick books with happy endings, but this ending was heartbreaking yet satisfying.

I don’t usually re-read books, but, if given a chance, Gently Falls the Bakula will surely be one of the books I will choose to re-read.

If you liked A Thousand Splendid Suns, Not Without My Daughter, or any other book like this then you might like this book too.
