Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys UK cover

Salt to the Sea

…t important, is particularly jarring: with more page time, it could have become something. Alas, as it is, it is confusing and distracting. It’s heartbreaking to be disappointed by a book you want to love. Even more so when you can call its author a friend. Yet it’s hard to move beyond an unfortunate creative misjudgement. Is the story of the Wilhelm Gustloff important? Certainly. Do the characters all have important things to say? Definitely. Doe… Continue reading

The Hunger Games

…r heart strings, namely by drip-feeding the lovey-dovey stuff rather than dumping it all on the reader within a matter of pages. Suzanne Collins makes it clear from the start that several things are going to happen within the Hunger Games: 1) Katniss will take part in the Hunger Games (where would the story be without this?); 2) that Katniss will survive (the first person narrative makes this a sure bet); 3) Katniss and Peeta are going to fall for… Continue reading

The Man From Pomegranate Street

…s was going to happen at some point. I felt that the relationship was very underdeveloped. The way that they turn from secret lovers to a couple is very fast, and quite unnatural, seeing as Aristo goes ‘I love you’ while trying to protect Nubia. The narative then switches soon after, and when it returns to Nubia and Aristo, we see them as a couple. The second item that I felt was a bit confusing, was the vast number of plot changes. There were so… Continue reading

…closer than they think . . . As Lyssia’s greatest war rumbles towards a thunderous climax, the lines between friend and foe are blurred. What if the enemy is one of their own? Philip Reeve, author of one of my favourite series of all time, Mortal Engines, also has news of his latest project: Goblins, which is a fantasy previously titled “Clovenstone” and aimed at a younger, middle-grade audience, though I’m sure Reeve fans will still love it. A w… Continue reading

…nti Street. Caught between the dream of an elite college and a clandestine underworld, New Orleans lures Josie in her quest for truth, dangling temptation at every turn, and escalating to the ultimate test. The novel is due for publication in February. And finally, for those who are a little behind the times, the first trailer to the film adaptation of Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower was unveiled recently and can be seen below. E… Continue reading

Witch and Wizard by James Patterson cover

Witch & Wizard

…that is the One’ being a very weak, cliched villain. Even the main protagonists, Whit and Wisty, are quite similar in their views, and it could have made for a much better book if they did not like each other. As it is, it is quite pointless having two points of view and only adds to the confusion of reading the novel. To be honest, my favourite characters were some of the kids in Garfunkel’s. As I said earlier, the fact that Patterson uses two po… Continue reading

Predator's Gold by Philip Reeve cover

Predator’s Gold

…WOME (World Of Mortal Engines) must have been extortionate; there are realistic historical elements, fabulous moving cities, fascinating gadgets; indeed everything seems to be included so well into the story that you never wonder how something occurred or wonder if event x was a plot hole. Reeve displays some of the best world building skills I have seen, and this shines through all his books set in WOME. If you read my Mortal Engines review, you… Continue reading

…avel in the Harry Potter series. The opening few chapters may have some readers stumped; neither show us our main characters, but introduce us to two new ones, in a rather ineffective way that lets the story down. Fans of both Magyk and Flyte may struggle through them, eager to read on and catch up with Septimus and Jenna, and others may get bored, but after the dissapointing start we are soon rewarded in a thrilling read which so far, is my perso… Continue reading
