Review of The Book Thief - Markus Zusak by SK1997

Advantages: good beginning
Disadvantages: have no clue what the message was

Captivating storyline
Review of Before I Fall - Lauren Oliver by SK1997

Advantages: amazing story
Disadvantages: needs to cut down on two or three chapters

This reminded me of The girl who Leapt through time. I loved it very much as it is mind boggling and confusing. I did think that there were unnecessary rude scenes however the book itself was very original, imaginative and sad. The book is divided in to ... Read review

Weird ghost story
Review of Anna Dressed in Blood - Kendare Blake by SK1997

Advantages: great spookiness
Disadvantages: poor romance, poor characters

The thing is, when I saw Ghost Hunters, I freaked out. I really wanted something that would spook me out. But reading this, a ten year old would just laugh. Yes, I laughed through out the whole book and found it humorous, not scary. I don't know why it sa ... Read review

Review of A Little Princess: The Story of Sara Crewe - Frances Hodgson Burnett by SK1997

Advantages: wonderfully written
Disadvantages: None

I first heard about this story through watching the nineteen eighty five animated cartoon series which I absolutely loved and adored. But reading the actual novel has made me think how precise that adaptation was because they included everything in the bo ... Read review

great ending to the trilogy
Review of The Betrayal - Mary Hooper by SK1997

Advantages: great ending
Disadvantages: needs to be longer, more character development

I was very disappointed with the final book from the trilogy because of the title. It clearly stated 'The Betrayal' but the book doesn't focus on a concept like that which kind of tipped me off. The characters however are nicely described like my favoura ... Read review

Strong heroines
Review of By Royal Command - Mary Hooper by SK1997

Advantages: great characters
Disadvantages: could have been a more interesting mystery this time

Even though I still enjoyed this book, I don't think it was as great as the first. I loved the snippets of Historical detail and the mystery but it did not intrigue me as much. There wasn't much of an adventurous side to Lucy either. The romance between ... Read review

Mysterious
Review of At the House of the Magician - Mary Hooper by SK1997

Advantages: great characters and detective work incluing plot
Disadvantages: should be more romantic

Again this story has been passionately written with the vivid historical detail. The plot is very strong however the beginning is very slow and its not until the end that things actually begin to happen. But the writing is very simple and easy to understa ... Read review

Never read anything as perfect as this
Review of Switched - Amanda Hocking by SK1997

Advantages: great unique story, twists
Disadvantages: none

I love this! It's about trolls but not the green monsters we all know. It's about magic, mystery, secrets and romance. It similar to the way we tell stories about fairies because it's magical! I need to read the whole trilogy! It all starts with Wendy f ... Read review

Secrets of the Tattoed Girl
Review of Secrets Of The Tattooed Girl: The Unauthorised Guide To The Stieg Larsson Trilogy - Dan Burstein by bettyboop2002

Advantages: Some interesting theories
Disadvantages: A bit repetitive and at times hypocritical

ISBN 978-0-297-86496-7 After reading the fantastic Stieg Larsson trilogy about 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' I knew I had to get this book when I spotted it. The book 'Secrets of the Tattooed Girl' is described as 'The unauthorised guide to the Steig ... Read review

Good review by mozzie76
I've just finished "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and am about 25% of the way through the "The Girl who Played with Fire". I had no idea there was a bit of a conspiracy theory surrounding these books / the author. I don't really think "Men who hate Women" would have been as catchy a title! by Bollinger28

A Political Proposal
Review of Zaremba or Love and the Rule of Law - Michelle Granas by fizzytom

Advantages: Unusual and engaging characters; highly entertaining yet edifying at the same time
Disadvantages: Occasionally bangs the drum too long

Usually I'd thank an author or publisher that had supplied me with a review copy of a book at the end of my review but I am so delighted to have read Michelle P. Granas's 'Zaremba: or Love and the Rule of Law' that feel compelled to offer my thanks immedi ... Read review

They Think It's All Over.......It Is Now!
Review of Until it's Over - Nicci French by koshkha

Advantages: A light, compelling page turner

The Courier of Doom Astrid Bell never particularly intended to be a bicycle courier, a lycra clad road warrior zapping along London’s streets serving the urgent delivery needs of the city’s wealthy professionals but some how several years after start ... Read review

Tolkien produces another Masterpiece
Review of The Lord Of The Rings : Two Towers - J.R.R. Tolkien by RebeccaLovesBooks

Advantages: Amazing characters, gripping plot.
Disadvantages: None for me, but it is a long book

An Insane but Addictive Read
Review of Insanity - Lauren Hammond by elfbwillow

Advantages: Gripping and exciting with a great mystery
Disadvantages: Time frame confusion

Insanity – Lauren Hammond I was always against Kindles. I love the feel of a paper-back book, the smell of a brand new hard copy novel, the look of the books as they sit upon my bookshelves…everything about a Kindle was too alien for me. There was no f ... Read review

Enjoyed the story, couldn't connect with the characters
Review of Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen by RebeccaLovesBooks

Advantages: Interesting story, A well loved Classic
Disadvantages: Hard to get into at some points

One of my favourite books, although I would agree that it takes a bit of time to get used to Austen's language. I often find myself reading the same line a few times as the meaning is hard to follow due to 19th century language and subtlety. Maybe try "Emma" or "Sense and Sensibility" next as you're keen to read more of her work, but try and avoid "Mansfield Park" just yet as that's quite heavy going imho by Bollinger28
