Book Review.......Les Pensees

Les Pensees

Three words..........Delicate - Beautiful - Moving

Personally I like by poetry with a bit more of a bite,  You know, one that punches you in your face while screaming look at me!  But this was never going to be like that.  You can tell that from the cover.

That being said... This book is beautiful.  I loved the fact that it had the original french next to the english translation on a separate page.  As most of the poems flowed much better in the original transcript.

This book is beautiful, Its soft but at the same time there is something in the background that moves you.  Each one is personal and deep.  Almost dream like.  It like looking into somebodys diary.  You feel like you should been raeding these poems because they are so personal, yet she pulls you in.

Shes won me over and its the perfect book for the autumn rainy afternoons.

Book Review............Operation: BLACKFLAG

Operation: BLACKFLAG

I was so excited to read this book.  The back cover made it sound funny and generally everything I wanted from this book,  and guess what?.....I did enjoy it.

But.

I did put it on some pedestal that this book because I was so excited about reading it, but unfortunately would never been able to live up to the standard I put it on.  

The book was funny, laugh out loud funny and there was also bits of terror there to, so there was some jumpy sections there.  I struggled a bit at the start cause I found the beginning seemed to have loads of cut scenes, but as the book developed they disappeared and either was not there or I just didn't notice.

Personally I would recommend this book and I would read it again and I bet when I do read it again it would be even better then this time I read it.

Book Review......Rarity from the Hollow

Rarity from the Hollow

I got approached to read this book and for a honest review by the author.  I know many of you will sigh and think it's still going to be bias, but I hope to keep to my word.

First I would like to say sorry to Robert for how long this took, and thank you for giving a chance to read your novel.

Here's my review.

It was good, I wasn't amazed but it was alright.  Sometimes it did give me a little headache because it had more twisted then a rollercoster you make on Rollercoaster Tycoon (look it up, youngsters), but twists are not normally a bad thing and it did keep the story fresh, but that being said, some didnt need to be there as I felt I some areas it affected the flow of the book.  

For me, this book was a little bit of a struggle, it wasn't gripping enough for me and I kept getting a little lost and having to read back on myself.  This kind stopped me from rushing back to pick it up, but when I did pick it back up, I did find myself enjoying what I was reading.

The integration of the anti bulling message wasnt as subtle as it could of been but if anything thats why I like it.  Cause its like pow!  And theres not really any books that are so strong with it.  I really think this is powerful and a great way for people to get a better understanding.

Overall the characters development wasnt really for me, i found them more grating as the story went on.  But, There was some really funny parts and some really dark bits, which of cause I loved.  But I wont spoil them for you.

Roberts writing style is amazing,  you can tell he put his soul into this book, and the fact hes used his own first hand knowledge really adds something.  I feel bad cause again this is not normally a book I would go for but that being said I am glad i read it.

A side note to add her is that Robert is also donating all proceeds to charity.  Absolutely Amazing.

This story is good, and I would recommend it to people.  Normally I wouldn't go for this type novel but I was intrigued.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

Book review........Anxiety Anonymous

Anxiety Anonymous

This book felt a little preachy for me.  I felt like I was getting told of for having anxiety in my life.  So I was really disappointed because I really wanted to give this book a try, but after a struggle of a few days I had to give up.  It seemed the more I read the angrier I became.

Overall this book left me feeling deflated, sad and defeated.  I really would not recommend this book to anybody who has anxiety's, but at the same time, the thing with anxieties is that what may not work for one may work for another.

For me this book was a let down.

You can find this book on Amazon.com here

Book Review........The Antigone Poems

This book is right up my street.  The words express so much and the art work though terrifying is also endearing.  You can't take your eyes off them.  This book is chilling but at the same time calming.  Its relatable though your not sure why.  I loved it.

The poems are powerful, and you get a real sense of horror and terror and some left you feeling quite bleak then, POW!  There a beautiful yet undertone of sad picture and it brings you back.  You sense the Greek tragedy throughout this book.

I was in awe of the skill involved in some of these verses.  I loved in exile.  It was short and yet the range in my feeling when I read that poem.  Just read it and you will know what I mean.

The book itself it set out perfectly.  If you are new to poetry then please give this book a go, cause its not overwhelming and yet still special.

Read it in the dark if your dare.

Jonjon book review.... King of Pawns

Twists turns political scheming, assaintation, magic, war.....everything I want in a fantasy book.  Beautifully written great imagery. An fantastic read.

Can't wait for the sequel couldn't give it any higher praise.

Characters development was wonderful,especially the general, they really captured the spirit of the book. Every time you get comfortable with something there's another twist.  The magical aspect of the book really draws you in and it makes you thing your really there.  I cant say much cause I don't want to ruin it but it ends on a cliff hanger and I cant wait to read the next one.


Buy it here    Amazon. King of Pawns

I would give this book 5 out of 5.



A review from Netgalley

Book Review Accidental Grace

Accidental Grace

Oh My God this book.  This book is amazing.

First I'm shocked and kinda ashamed of the human race for the lack of comments about this book because I have not been able to shut up about it to people.

Second,  I am not a religious person.  But this book touched me.  Its full of grace and beauty and so many pockets of wonderful.

This book is full of Psalms Prayers and Poems all as beautiful and enchanting as the next.  Its easy to get lost in the words.  Like I said I am not religious but I read this twice before I even attempted to write this review.

I felt each Poem and Psalm related to me in a different way and when I read them to others, I found that it was the same for them.

Overall I still cant believe people haven't spoke about this book.  Its something special and something that needs to be treasured.  Rami Shapiro is a wonderful person and I thank him for this book.
