Greetings, this is Sobelle Style.
We are new reviewers who collaborated to make this website. This website is our entrance into the literary world. Sobelle Style is our very first step to something even bigger.
Our goal is to share our own reviews with a larger audience outside of our group. What you are seeing now are months of hard work and editing in order to present our best selves to the world. We want to be seen by the public who are interested in what we do. That way we can gain a footing in this world and be able to look back on this site as a fond memory.
Our name came from a classmate who suggested we use our Professor's name, Professor Sobelle, in some way since she introduced the world of literary reviews to us. Our reviews were done based on our own peculiar interests as well as some recommendations from our Professor. This site is not only personal in how we created it, but personal in every single word of every one of our reviews.
Please Enjoy!
