I can't write books so I review them instead
I actually had the chance to reread the book AND watch the movie before my exams but I wasn’t able to write my review until now. Without further ado, here it is: This is a post-apocalypse novel that focuses on Thomas, a boy who finds himself in a place known as The Glade with a…
Although I had enjoyed the previous novel by this author, I wanted to see if I could find something darker and more in the adult realm by her so I chose this one. Here is my review: This is a story about the Story Sisters: Elv, Meg, and Claire. An incident with Elv and Claire…

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…
I know that Alice Hoffman is quite a big literary figure. There are whole shelves and sections in the library dedicated to her work and she has written books on a variety of topics. So it is quite surprising that I have never read anything by her. This is the first book of hers that…
