Book Review: This Lullaby

Hello, I haven't read this book very quickly but I have finally finished it.

The book is called 'This Lullaby' and it is written by Sarah Dessen.
Here's the cover:

This Lullaby is about a teenage girl called Remy who has always been sceptical about love and all matters of the heart. She is sure that love doesn't exist and anyone who believes in it is only standing to get hurt. Her mother has have 4 marriages and is on the verge of her 5th - all of which have failed and left Barbara heart broken and leaving Remy to pick up the pieces-. She has just graduated high school and is going to stanford after the Summer. She sets about finding a summer boyfriend and meets Dexter at her future step father's car dealership. He instantly feels a conection between them which Remy doesn't feel and thinks he's crazy. They end up bumping into each other all over which he says is 'fate' and that they are supposed to be together. When dexter's band plays at Remy's mother's wedding they decide to start a relationship which Remy decides is only till the end of summer. through the course of the book Dexter and Remy's relationship keeps changing and Remy changes with it for the better.

This book captured my heart and made me feel for Remy and wish she would get over her relationship issues and just let Dexter into her heart. She goes on a real emotional journey as everything around her changes. She just has to change with it. Everything works out for the best in the end and i absolutly fell in love with both Remy and Dexter. Even though Dexter is completly imperfect and Remy is obsessed with perfection and control. They balence each other out and make perfection.

Book Review : Starter for ten.

It's been an awful long time since I have posted a book review and I apologize for that! My reasoning is a mix of three things ;

1. I have been inspired in writing my book ; not reading

2. LOTS OF EXAMS

3. I haven't seen any books I want to read.

Anyway I'm back now with a book review on Starter for then. A book by David Nicolas that has been made into a film ; a film that I haven't seen and don't plan to in the foreseeable future.
Here's the cover:


The book is about a boy called Brain Jackson , he starts university even though not many thought he could do it. His dad died when he was little and his mum is a bit of an alcoholic. When his father was alive they used to watch university challenge together which meant after his death , he wanted nothing more than to get onto the show himself. The first night at university Brain finds himself at a party - drunk - where he meets the most beautiful girl he's ever met - Alice - He falls for her almost instantly. He meets her again at the university challenge auditions when she gets on the team and he becomes the substitute. After one of the team members gets a disease he gets onto the team and becomes the team's 'Superstar' but will he impress the stunning Alice into dating him

This book was an hilarious perception of the university experience , Brain as a character is hilarious and abit pretentious which makes it amusing when he says stupid things or bad things happen to him. This book isn't the type of thing i reguallary read. but my boyfriend bought me it for my birthday , and he knows me so well because i love it! - Thank you baby , I love you!!

Love 

Book Review: Beastly

Hello again , I know I said I was going to post this review a few days ago but I started writing it then wasn't interested in writing this and went back to writing my book so i'm sorry but I have more important writing to do lately but I will always get round to writing reviews on all books i read. Also I have been trying to find more books to read but have ran out of books I want to read. If anyone who is reading this has read any good books I would be grateful if you could recommend them to me. Anyway to the review , This time it is Beastly a book by Alex Flinn. Here is the book's cover:


This book is about a selfish high school student who is a news readers son and was taught from an early age that looks were always the most important thing and always judged people by their looks. One day a witch decides to punish him and enters the school pretending to be an ugly fat girl in his classes which he immediately s picks on as soon as he sees her. He decides to play a joke on her and ask her to the dance when he is really going with the most beautiful girl in school. He is punished by the witch for his cruel joke on her by being turned into a beast but in his last human hour he did one good thing , he gave a rose to a grateful stranger (Lindy) but two petals had fallen off this means he is given two years to find someone who falls in love with him despite his ugliness and kiss her before the two years are up. He spends most of the first year being depressed and as his father leaves him because of his looks he is now locked in a large house with his housekeeper (magda) and his tutor ( Will a blind man). He is also given a magic mirror in which he can see anyone he wishes. He watches most people he can think of but the person he watches the most is Lindy. One day by coincidence her drug addict father breaks into Kyle's house her father offers Kyle Lindy in exchange for freedom , Kyle then accepts thinking he might save her and break the spell. but when Lindy hates him for being a 'Jailer' Nothing goes as he expects as he showers her with gifts that all she hates apart from the library of books. Will she break the spell or will Kyle be a beast forever?

This book is a modern remake of Beauty and the beast , Lindy being Beauty ( although being described as average looking) and Kyle being the Beast. It is a lovely and romantic story and is an amazing remake of a long told and classic story that hasn't ruined the original story. or has it used the all the story or tarnished it.
It is amazing and Is great for any fairy tale lover. Anyone who loves romantic fairy tales will Adore this book.

Book Review: When Hitler stole pink rabbit.

Hello again people,
I finally finished the book I was reading and actually started and finished another book as well as writing since my last post. I actually finished it a few days ago but I've been neglecting to write a review on it because at the moment I much prefer writing my story.
Anyway enough of my rambling on let's get started on the review.
It's another book about Nazi Germany that I was actually told to read by my history teacher but turned out to be a good read.
It's by Judith Kerr and is apparently supposed to be classed as a children's book although in my opinion it's topic and some of the vocabulary is a little too old for most children.
Here is the cover:
 

The Story is about a young girl called Anna who's family are Jewish in Nazi Germany , her father is a rather famous Jewish Author in Berlin , so a few days before the election results in 1933 her father flees for Prague in fear that when the Nazis have been elected it will be impossible for him to leave as they might take his passport away from him for being Jewish. When the Nazis are in fact elected the rest of Anna's family join their father in Switzerland where he is by this time. They spend a few months in Switzerland before in which time Anna and her brother - Max - make friends and progress well at school. They then move to Paris as her father is struggling to find work in Switzerland because of being Jewish and the Swiss are scared of Hitler. When they move to Paris they have many money troubles and both Max and Anna have trouble learning French and making friends but they manage to make a life there until their father again can't get much work and they eventually move again to England.

I can't really explain that much about the plot of this book so I am sorry for that by the way.
I will admit this book will not be for everyone , to enjoy and be interested in the book you probally have to have a personal interest with History and / or Nazi Germany. I throughally enjoyed it but then again I am a little bit of a History nerd and would study history books all day just for fun. It really is an insight on what life was like for the refuge children in Nazi Germany. It shows a different side to the normal story's you  hear of refuges from a child's point of view and Anna attually sounds like she enjoys being a Refuge.

Book Review: The Boy in the striped pyjamas

Hello people ,
Haven't posted in a while because I've been too busy to read much so I'm still in the middle of the book I am currently reading but I realised that there were some books I read in the past that I haven't reviewed on this blog yet so I thought to cure my writing itch for the day I'll write a review on one of those - the boy in the striped pyjamas , you've all probably heard of the film but this isn't a film review it's a book review. So here goes:
The Cover:

This Book is about a young German boy called Bruno who is growing up in second world war Germany, his father was high up in the Nazis ( what job or person it doesn't tell you) and when the beginning of the holocaust starts Bruno's father is promoted and is sent to live in Poland and work at what Bruno thinks throughout the book is called outwith and isn't shown to be some other famous place until the end of the book. With having no one to play with around 'outwith' apart from his know it all sister bruno sees outwith through his bedroom window and wonders why they are all dressed the same , one day while he's exploring alone he sees a little boy about his age near the fencing of 'outwith' and goes over to talk to him. After talking to him for a while he finds out that he is a jew and they become good friends. within a few months they spend everyday talking at the side of the fence and Bruno sees Shmuel as his best friend no matter how different they are. One day Shmuel says that his father has gone missing inside the camp and Shmuel has looked everywhere and misses him terribly. Bruno agrees that if Shmuel can find striped pyjamas like the ones Shmuel wears for bruno then bruno would come into the camp and help Shmuel to find his father. What will happen when Bruno goes into the camp and what will they find?

This book was compelling and made me cry for hours on end.Unless you have heard of what this book is about you would realise it until right at the end because it is written so sensitivly and from the point of view of bruno - someone who has no idea what is going on- and is written innocently enough for it to be hidden until the end.
I loved this book and I Reconmend it to anyone who wants to make themselves cry a lot.

Book Review : A Walk to remember

Hello again , It's only been a couple of days since my last review but I read quite fast. I finished this book late last night but I didn't have time earlier or last night so I'm writing it now.
Anyway enough about my reading and writing habits and onto the review!
This is the cover:



The Book is A walk to remember by Nicolas Sparks and looking at the cover really doesn't give you any indication of what the book is about so I wouldn't analyse the cover too much or judge it by it's cover because I've read the book and don't even understand the cover.
Anyway onto the book's plot, It starts as Landon Carter at 57 explains that when he was seventeen his life was changed forever and that he is going to tell the story of how it changed. He starts talking about his childhood and his rich family before he gets onto the actual story that he is telling and while this drags on a little it is all relevant later in the story. He then starts explaining about how he chose performing arts in his senior year because he thought it would be easy, this is how he gets into the kind of meeting with Jamie Sullivan. I say kind of because he has known her his whole life but this is the first time he actually has a real conversation with her. She is the ministers daughter, a Minister who Landon and his friends used to call names and pick on him. Despite being misjudged by her peers Jamie doesn't change who she is to fit around other people , he describes her to make her seem like a misfit who wears jumpers and her hair always in a bun but he never says she is ugly and observes that she could be pretty if she tried harder to be. He also explains that she is one of the most giving people you will ever meet and volunteers and an orphanage most weekends.
He takes her to the homecoming dance later in the story only because he has to go because he is class president and doesn't have a date. this starts their friendship and she asks him for a favour to be in a play that her father wrote as a leading roll opposite her. When he accepts they start spending time together and he soon realises that he has unintentionally fallen in love with her.After a while he makes his move and kisses her and tells her the depth of his feelings for her. This is where I have to stop telling you any more because if I keep going I know I will reveal Jamie's secret and ruin the shock of this particular story.
Like all Nicolas sparks books it is so romantic and it pulls you into and tells you mostly everything about the characters from their upbringing to their deepest thoughts and feelings which makes you fall in love with them and the same thing goes for Landon and Jamie. By the time the twist came to the story I was so emotionally attached through the story that for the last half of the story I literally had to have a box of tissues next to me because I cried so much. The Ending was my favourite part of the book because instead of telling you exactly what happened he leaves you to decide for yourself what happened because he says it so one of two things could have happened and you can decide which one you would rather it be.
In a whole this book just made me feel so many emotions and I couldn't put it down after a started the first page. The only reason I put it down was to go to school which may be pathetic to some people but to me it's perfectly normal. I felt every emotion for the characters in the book and That is definitely what I look for in the perfect book.

Love,

Book Review : Message In a Bottle

Hello, another book review for any one who wants to read it. This is another book review on a Nicolas Sparks novel that I just finished reading so for anyone who is bored of my reviews on Nicolas sparks' novels stop reading now.
This is the Cover Of the Book:

The theme of this book is as the title suggests is Messages in bottles that are sent out to sea. It starts off in the future after the story the book explains has happened with Teresa Osborne - A columnist from Boston - is reliving the last two years. It then goes into the past and shows how the whole story started and how Teresa's life had been turned upside down with one jog in the summer. While she is Jogging on Holiday in cape cod she stumbles across a bottle with a message inside. After she reads it she is so touched by it's content that she shows it to her friend Deanna who Suggests publishing the heartfelt letter from a man named Garrett to a woman named Catherine in her column. They change the names to initials and publish it. Later a reader calls Teresa and explains to her that she has found another letter by the same person and emails it to her , she also finds another letter again by Garrett to Catherine and she is intrigued by finding three heartfelt letters from the same person and finds herself thinking about Garrett and confides in Deanna who helps her track down Garrett and convinces her to go find him she does so and then he asks her to go sailing with him they eventually start a long distance relationship and he bonds with her son - Kevin - and they end up falling in love harder than both of them could have anticipated. but what happens when Garrett finds out what drew Teresa to his small town? and will his undying feelings for Catherine ever subside?

This book really renewed my faith in destiny and as always Nicolas Sparks draws you into the story and makes you believe that everything can really go right for the main characters then right then when you just think everything is going right , everything suddenly goes wrong and you're left feeling sad and losing faith in true love at all , but even if the ending of this book got abit depressing i still loved every part of it and it left me wishing for more!

Love,
