What a great book, with a realistic ending. Brings you back to a time you've never been in, with a clear view.

Girl with a Peal Earring is a wonderful fiction about one of Vermeer's Paintings. It really makes you think about the era in which the painting was created. Vermeer was somewhat of a escentric as are most artist. The book also became a movie in which was very close to the book. The ending in the movie was just a little different. I would recommend for anyone who loves historical fiction.

I began reading this book for the Outsatanidng Book Challenge at my school but I ended up really loving the book. I read it in almost 2 days and I am a slow reader. It tells an interesting story with a realistic ending. It makes sense of the painting and is a wonderful read. The main character Griet is realistic and relatable. I thought that this was a wondefully written book great for young girls.
