I can't write books so I review them instead
So at first I saw the trailers for the TV show and really wanted to watch it. When I found out it was based on a book series, then I knew I had to read it! After being on the wait list for a couple of months, I’ve finally managed to get myself a copy…
I’ve been waiting to read this book since it first came out so when I finally got it, I pounced. Here is my review: The novel is told from the viewpoint of an inmate who calls the stone prison he is in an enchanted place. He talks about the other inmates using fantasy imagery, all…
I should be studying and working on my essay but instead, I’m escaping into the world of books. And this book was definitely a good choice! Amelia is every parent’s dream child. She is smart and athletic and a rule-abiding child. Her single mother, Kate, who works as a lawyer in a top firm couldn’t…
This was a book recommended to me by one of those online things that looks at your recent history and picks something out for you. I like using those because usually it finds something good for me. Anyways, here is my review: This book is told in parts by various characters buy the principal ones…

Since I was a child, I have always been complimented on being a voracious reader. Naturally, I wanted to continue to impress others so when I was recommended this book, I seized the chance. The problem was, I was only 13. The book seemed boring and nothing made sense. So, I reluctantly gave up on…
I read this book back in high school and I’ve got to say that John Steinbeck is a damn good author. With such an interesting story line, it is hard to forget this book! The story parallels the biblical one of Cain and Abel and describes both the love and animosity between two brothers who…
I recently had the pleasure of reading We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. The story is about a mother who recounts the events leading up to her son’s decision to murder 9 schoolmates. I found it to be….interesting, for lack of a better word. The voice of the story is completely unexpected;…
