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.
