And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am still tearing up after reading this book but yet here I am, writing a review.
What can I say other than Khaled Hoseeini is a master storyteller? He grabbed your attention from the start and didn’t stop till the end. And if you think you can avoid not crying after reading this book (or any of his books, in fact), you are wrong.
Assassin’s Creed: Renaissance by Oliver Bowden
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
It’s really sad when a book shows a lot of promise to be a great one but alas, did not. This book is in that list.
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
After reading “Fangirl”, I decided to give “Eleanor & Park” a try and it is definitely not a bad decision ever. I’m beginning to think that Rainbow Rowell knows how to write a book that teenagers and young adults can easily relate to.
The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well, we all know who Robert Galbraith really is now and let’s not pretend that I didn’t buy this book because of the real writer behind the pseudonym – J.K. Rowling. I love this woman and admire her greatly and so I decided to pick up my first ever crime fiction book after a very long time.
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I saw this book in the bookstore and I immediately picked it up because, if you’re a fangirl and you don’t pick up a book called “Fangirl”, you’d be an idiot. I would like to think I’m not and so I did just that. I picked up and read the first 10 pages of the book and immediately fell in love with it.
The Enchantress Returns by Chris Colfer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Judging from the book cover, “The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns” by Chris Colfer, it seems to be a children’s book and I guess it could be a children’s book, since it is about fairy tales. But the maturity in some of the dialogues would put it in the category of, at least, a young adult book. A six-year-old kid would not understand the meaning behind some of the dialogues in the book. I mean, they would because the words used are simple enough to understand but the meaning behind the words would not reach a young kid until they are old enough to get it.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When I began to read the prologue of this book, I thought to myself: “Well, this is a surprise coming from Neil Gaiman. The story seems “normal”.” I have never been so wrong. But then again, why would I think that? This is Neil Gaiman’s book that I’m reading. I should expect something unique and original.
