It's the kind of book that actually grabs you and plunges you head first into its depths. It's the kind of book that leaves you stricken and shaking before the cruelty of the human race, but also wondering about some of the most profound controversies of it's members characters. The book follows Marina throughout her stay in Evin, Iran. She offers incredible insight into life in Iran at that time and shows the ins and outs of revolution (this book is especialy interesting if you can make links to the recent arab spring). Her stories will stay with you long after you have closed the book.It's the kind of book that actually grabs you and plunges you head first into its depths.

The princess diaries is a great companion to people walking into their teenage years. Its quirky humour and unique flavour of drama is both enchanting and thought provocking. There is an interesting paradox between Mia's surprising positon of princess of Genovia and her struggle with everyday problems as a slightly ackward tennager.

This book deserves a 5 star rating just for the suspense it provided, I was never shure what would happen until it did and I lovee the whole concept of time loops and peculiars. I think the pictures only made the book better and I can' t wait to read more by RR...maybe a sequel to MPHfPC? pleeeease!This book deserves a 5 star rating just for the suspense it provided, I was never shure what would happen until it did and I lovee the whole concept of time loops and peculiars.

I read this book a while ago and I think it was ok but it definitely didn' t mark me as much as other books of it' s type. It is however a good and fun insight into Indian history.

I love fairy tales and I thought that this modern version of the age old sleeping beauty was absolutely hilarious, a breezy and fun summer read with alot of interesting, although sometimes predictable, characther developement.

This is obvs. not a recent book but since people have been reading it for awhile there must be something to it. Jane Austen is a great read but you have to look over some of the old ways of speaking that can sometimes be annoying and sometimes be hilarious! I lovee Mr. Collins, just saying, he' s to ackward for life...but all my heart goes to D'Arcy ♥This is obvs. not a recent book but since people have been reading it for awhile there must be something to it.

This is a really exciting book and a great page turner. Too bad it isn' t written that well and it gets tedious, especially in the later books. But if you just want to lie on the beach with an "easy" book this is an ok choice.

I started this book...but I didn' t finish, it seemed ok but I just didn' t feel caught up in the story. I find it to be an interesting take on Paris during "la belle époque" though, and if your a Hemmingway fan than knock yourself out cause this might be the book for you!I started this book...but I didn' t finish, it seemed ok but I just didn' t feel caught up in the story.

The fault in our stars is another brilliant book by John Greene. The story is powerful and gives a totally original twist to cancer stories. Gus is one of the best charachters I have ever met in fiction and Hazel is close behind :)

This was my first book by AES and it got me hooked, since this book I've read everything by her that I could get my hands on :) The book is absolutely amazing and Cecily is an unforgetable heroine!
QBR explores the themes of love, family, marriage,power,and the right to rule. All of these are portrayed with Plantagenet England as a backround. Follow the beginning of the war of the roses through the eyes of some of it' s most pivotal characthers.
