If I Stay- Gayle Forman!


.




So the book is about a girl named Mia, her family decided to go on a nice drive and end up in a car accident which leaves Mia in a coma. She is kind of in an out of body experience state and can see and hear everything going on around her. Throughout the book, there are "flashbacks" of sorts about her life previous to that point.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! The saddest yet sweetest book I have ever read! I am speechless when it comes to this book. Words cant explain how great this read was just please check it out for yourself! Watch my video on youtube to hear and see how much I enjoyed this! Http://www.youtube.com/HalfBloodPRincess... IT'sJUST AWESOME!

I loved all the characters and found every single one of them relatable and awesome. She seemed to have such a nice life and to have it all slip away was what was soo sad! The ending did however frustrate me a little as it was a cliffhanger but luckily there is a second book, (Where she went) which is a sequel and should reveal what happened.
It was such a moving book and it made me cry and not many things do that!!

5/5 stars!         

The Beatrice Letters- Lemony Snicket.


.

  In the meantime there will be a video review up on my youtube soon which will show you not only the outside but the inside of the book too which is very detailed and shows all the different pictures and styles in the book. Which is a must see as it is the best part of the book. http://www.youtube.com/HalfBloodPrincessVW )


No summary as I didn't really get what the book was about. All I can say is that this book is about letters between Beatrice Baudelaire and Lemony Snicket. That is all I could really make out from this book.


This book is sooo pretty! From the front cover to the inside. First of all you open the book to find no writing but like a case file sort of holder containing the copy of the book with no pretty cover or anything and a picture/poster which is double sided. Throughout the books there are pages with a part of one side of the picture which is very strange. Then there are different letters and sometimes little fold up letters. I particularly liked how the different letters were in different fonts and set out on different style pages. I really enjoyed reading this book and managed to read it in an hour which isn't too difficult as it is only 72 pages long. The pictures and trying to figure out the letters and decode them made this book interesting. If you have followed the whole "The series of unfortunate events" books, which I have not, then you might find this book less confusing and more interesting. Don't read this if you are looking for a book that makes sense.
This definately isn't for everybody but I certainly enjoyed it and found it really fun to read. I would recommend it as it is fun and really doesn't take up much time to read at all.
Overall a good bit of fun, I give it a 3.5/5.

Angel uncovered- Katie Price.


.

(Sorry for the small picture!! My apologises.)

Angel summer is a glamour model living every girl's dream. She is married to the hottest footballer and has the most trendy celebrity marriage. Her daughter Honey has just been born and everything is going perfectly for Angel, but is it?! This book see's Angel struggle with post natal depression, her husband's infidelity and has to make an agonising choice between her husband and another man. Along with all the pressures of being a new mother and celebrity. Plus dealing with some of the other psycho WAGs and ex girlfriends of her husband.

I started this book about a year ago but never finished it so decided to re-read it again and actually found it very entertaining! I was fascinated with the celebrity lifestyle aspect of the book and really enjoyed it. I did find it somewhat predictable though and the storyline was a dime a dozen. I feel as if the book was written by Katie Price herself (and that's not a good thing) instead of a ghost writer, though maybe that was the intention. I don't know but I wasn't impressed with the quality of the writing. I didn't connect with Angel the way you're supposed to. I found her annoying and bitchy which is never a good thing to feel about the main character when you're supposed to be feeling sympathetic for them and connect with them and understand what they are going through.
I would recommend this book to young girls, particularly british girls who know about the british celebrity and WAG scene. I would recommend this as a light read to take on holiday and enjoy while sitting by the pool.
3.5/5

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- J.K Rowling.


.

Harry Potter and the deathly hallows is the last and final installment in the Harry potter series. It is book seven. In this book Harry continues where dumbledore left off in book 6 (Harry Potter and the half blood prince) as he tries to find and defeat all of Lord Voldemort's horcruxes in hope to be able to destroy him. This book sees the final battle between Voldemort and Harry.

I really enjoyed reading this. I had read half of it previously and now I just finished it off. I found it really interesting and a great reading, the last five chapters in particular are mesmorising and make you want to continue reading. The ending is really sweet and I loved it and thought it was definately suitable to end the series of books. Harry Potter has been such a big part of my life, as you can probably tell from my username/youtube (HalfBloodPrincessVW).
If you are a fan of the books and/or the movies I would definately recommend reading this book! A great read for any HP fan.
4.5/5 stars!
