Let the Old Dreams Die by John Ajvide Lindqvist ~ Started: 30.08.12 ~ Finished: 07.09.12

 

Title of book: Let the Old Dreams Die

Name of Author: John Ajvide Lindqvist

Kindle Edition

ASIN: B0089XJU06

 

 

Synopsis ~

 

Whatever happened to Oskar and Eli? And what became of the beleaguered families in Handling the Undead? Find out in Let the Old Dreams Die. In other tales from this collection, a woman finds a dead body and decides to keep it for herself, a customs officer has a mysterious gift which enables him to see what others hide, and a man believes he knows how to deceive death. These are the stories of John Ajvide Lindqvist's rich imagination. They are about love and death and what we do when the two collide and the monsters emerge.

 

What I thought of ‘Let the Old Dreams Die’ ~

 

I am a massive fan of John Ajvide Lindqvist, I have loved all of his books so far and I cannot wait for his next one to be released. ‘Let the Old Dreams Die’ is a collection of stories which are surreal, complex, dark and as always, gives you an insight into the human psyche, where ordinary people experience the extraordinary.

 

I was particularly looking forward to the stories ‘Let the Old Dreams Die’, where you find out what happened to Oskar and Eli from ‘Let The Right One In’ alongside a story of great love and ‘The Final Processing’, which continues the story of ‘Handling The Undead’, I enjoyed ‘The Final Processing’ more than ‘Let the Old Dreams Die’ , it was more focused on the characters from the original story which I enjoyed, I wanted to know what had happened to Flora, Elvy and Hagar and the ‘reliving’.

 

All of the stories are individual and interesting, all of the characters are easy to relate to, which made the book even more of a pleasure to read.

 

An excellent book written by an amazing writer.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time by Yakutsk Tsutsui ~ Started: 08.09.12 ~ Finished: 09.09.12

 

Title of book: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Paperback

Number of pages: 200

ISBN~10: 184688134X

ISBN~13: 978-1846881343

 

 

Synopsis ~

 

The Girl Who Leapt Through The Time is the story of fifteen year old schoolgirl Kazuko, who accidentally discovers that she can leap back and forth in time. In her quest to uncover the identity of the mysterious figure that she believes to be responsible for her paranormal abilities, she’ll have to push the boundaries of space and time, and challenges the notions of dream and reality.

 

What I thought of ‘The Girl Who Leapt Through The Time’ ~

 

This is the first book I have read by Yasutaka Tsutsui and I enjoyed it, the story flowed nicely and the characters were well written. The first story ‘The Girl Who Leapt Through The Time’ tells the story of fifteen year old Kazuko who after an accident in her school laboratory discovers she can leapt back and forth in time, Kazuko is unnerved by this and is determined to find out what has happened to her, which leads to a discovery she does not expect. The second story ‘The Stuff That Nightmares Are Made Of’ tells the story of Masako who decides to confront her fears and her younger brother’s by using her intelligence.

 

I enjoyed the second story more than I did the first one, I liked Masako and her approach to facing her fears which at times was funny, I loved her insights too and her relationship with her brother, Yoshio, which was a typical volatile relationship between siblings but was also very sweet because they clearly cared about each other.

 

I have another two books by Yasutaka Tsutsui waiting to be read and I am looking forward to reading them (I have started ‘Paprika’). The only downside to ‘The Girl Who Leapt Through Time’ was that it was too short, other than that, it was a pleasant read.

The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt ~ Started: 09.09.12 ~ Finished: 25.09.12

 

Title of book: The Sisters Brothers

Name of Author: Patrick deWitt

Kindle Edition

ASIN: B005DI9E8S

 

 

Synopsis ~

 

Hermann Kermit Warm is going to die. The enigmatic and powerful man known only as the Commodore has ordered it, and his henchmen, Eli and Charlie Sisters, will make sure of it. Though Eli doesn't share his brother's appetite for whiskey and killing, he's never known anything else. But their prey isn't an easy mark, and on the road from Oregon City to Warm's gold-mining claim outside Sacramento, Eli begins to question what he does for a living-and whom he does it for.

 

With "The Sisters Brothers," Patrick deWitt pays homage to the classic Western, transforming it into an unforgettable comic tour de force. Filled with a remarkable cast of characters-losers, cheaters, and ne'er-do-wells from all stripes of life-and told by a complex and compelling narrator, it is a violent, lustful odyssey through the underworld of the 1850s frontier that beautifully captures the humor, melancholy, and grit of the Old West and two brothers bound by blood, violence, and love.

 

What I thought of ‘The Sisters Brothers’ ~

 

I enjoyed ‘The Sisters Brothers’ immensely, the story was engrossing and the characters of Charlie and Eli were written well. I loved the whole feel of the book, the description of the various places that the brothers go to, the people they meet.

 

The relationship between the brothers is shown well too, both of them have their flaws and know their place in the world but this changes for Eli as the story progressed, which I was pleased to see because despite Charlie’s personality, Eli was the stronger of the two of them in more ways than one.

 

A great read, highly recommended.

Title of book: The House in the Attic

Name of Author: Helen Cardwell

Kindle Edition

ASIN: B008BGBMWA

 

 

Synopsis ~

 

It was the latest in a long line of misfortunes where Elinor was concerned. Her parents and adoptive family were both dead, and now, along with her aunt and young cousin, she was being forced to move to the isolated village of Mournsby.

 

To her way of thinking, it could get no worse. Her life was over. But did it ever really begin? Mournsby is far from being the quiet hamlet it presents itself to be.

 

What are the strange lights in the supposedly abandoned graveyard? Who is the mysterious figure that flits about the streets at night? And why are all the residents subject to bouts of complete memory loss?

 

With her two friends, Elinor must piece together the murderous history of the village and also confront her own deadly secret. But can she do so before the Mournsby Curse claims another victim?

 

What I thought of ‘The House in the Attic’ ~

 

‘The House in the Attic’ is a book I like to call a hidden gem, I found it by accident and enjoyed it from start to finish. The story is a good old fashioned supernatural tale of Elinor, a young girl with a tragic past who much to her horror has been moved to the village of Mournsby, a quiet village where everyone seems to suffer from memory loss. Elinor finds her destiny in Mournsby and it’s a destiny she does not want but has to face.

 

‘The House in the Attic’ is a fantastic read which kept me engrossed to the very end. I recommend it highly.

Vic and Blood by Harlan Ellison ~ Started: 25.09.12 ~ Finished: 25.09.12

 

Title of book: Vic and Blood

Name of Author: Harlan Ellison

Kindle Edition

ASIN: B0079SNP1M

 

 

Synopsis ~

 

Hugo and Nebula Winner Harlan Ellison's classic post-apocalyptic saga of Vic, a Boy, and his dog, Blood, and the telepathic union that binds them together in a struggle for survival. The cycle begins with 'Eggsucker', which chronicles the early years of the association between fourteen-year-old loner Vic and his brilliant, telepathic dog, Blood. The saga continues and expands in 'A Boy and His Dog', in which Blood shows just how much smarter he is than Vic, and Vic shows how loyal he can be. The story continues in 'Run, Spot, Run', the first part of Ellison's promised novel of the cycle, BLOOD'S A ROVER. Here Vic and Blood find surprising new ways to get into trouble' but getting out of it may be beyond even their combined talents.

 

What I thought of ‘Vic and Blood’ ~

 

I am a fan of the film ‘A Boy and his Dog’, which was adapted from the book, ‘Vic and Blood’. The book is slightly different from the film and in all honesty ~ better, especially the ending of the film which Harlan Ellison hated and I can see why.

 

Blood the dog is telepathically connected to Vic, a young boy who survives with Blood’s help in the vast wasteland following numerous wars, Blood’s telepathy was inherited from an experiment on his ancestors, he is unable to do what dogs should be able to do, which is hunt but he cannot, so he depends on Vic, while Vic depends on Blood to cope with the world around him.

 

Vic and Blood’s relationship is shown well and is heartfelt and humorous at times.

 

Recommended.

The 100 year old who climbed out the window and disappeared by Jonas Jonasson ~ Started: 26.09.12 ~ Finished: 04.10.12

 

Title of book: The 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared

Name of Author: Jonas Jonasson

Kindle Edition

ASIN: B008D30K7E

 

 

Synopsis ~

 

It all starts on the one-hundredth birthday of Allan Karlsson. Sitting quietly in his room in an old people’s home, he is waiting for the party he-never-wanted-anyway to begin. The Mayor is going to be there. The press is going to be there. But, as it turns out, Allan is not… Slowly but surely Allan climbs out of his bedroom window, into the flowerbed (in his slippers) and makes his getaway. And so begins his picaresque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several murders, a suitcase full of cash, and incompetent police. As his escapades unfold, we learn something of Allan’s earlier life in which – remarkably – he helped to make the atom bomb, became friends with American presidents, Russian tyrants, and Chinese leaders, and was a participant behind the scenes in many key events of the twentieth century. Already a huge bestseller across Europe, The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared is a fun and feel-good book for all ages.

 

What I thought of ‘The 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared’~

 

It is very rare for me to find the perfect book and I found it with ‘The 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared’. The story of Allan Karlsson is not only extraordinary but believable, a man born for adventure, a man who has no interest in politics and accepts everything in his life with a smile (it’s not often that Allan loses his temper) and takes pleasure in the simplest of things.

 

Allan’s story begins on the day of his 100th birthday when he decides to leave his room at the nursing home where he lives before his party begins (which he did not want in the first place), Karl climbs out the window and finds himself at the bus station where his adventure begins with the decision to take a silver suitcase.

 

As I said before, this book is perfect, Allan is an amazing character, I loved his outlook on life and despite the amount of famous people he meets, befriends, it does not change him. Allan’s quiet acceptance is brilliant to read, he is just so likeable. Allan makes friends as his adventures progresses, who were also great to read.

 

The story is gorgeous, different and endearing, I did not want to leave Allan.

Synopsis ~

 

Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies."

 

When a rash of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and her uncle are right in the thick of the investigation. And through it all, Evie has a secret: a mysterious power that could help catch the killer--if he doesn't catch her first.

 

What I thought of ‘The Diviners’ ~

 

I saw a review for ‘The Diviners’ in a magazine and I could not wait to read it, it definitely sounded my kind of story. ‘The Diviners’ is set in the roaring 20’s and begins with a party with an unexpected guest who is about to appear and his name is Naughty John.

 

With the arrival of Naughty John and flapper girl Evie O’Neill the world opens up to a world of powers and secrets as the characters come together. Evie at first annoyed me but she freely admits herself that she is annoying which I found quite refreshing but as the story progressed I liked Evie more, I loved her optimism and her feisty spirit.

 

‘The Diviners’ is the first book in the series and I cannot wait for the next book.

 

Fantastic read.

This House is Haunted by Guy Playfair ~ Started: 14.10.12 ~ Finished: 16.10.12

 

Title of book: This House is Haunted

Name of Author: Guy Playfair

Kindle Edition

ASIN: B004ZMVZA8

 

 

Synopsis ~

 

This is the Amazing Story of the Enfield Poltergeist

 

On August 31st 1977, normal life ended for Mrs Harper and her four children in their modest council house in a hitherto quiet corner of the north London suburb of Enfield.

Compared to what was to come, the initial phenomena were relatively minor – knockings on the walls, and pieces of furniture moving in ways that did not seem normal.

 

The neighbours came in and searched the house, finding all in order, though they too heard the knocking. The police were called, and were able to witness a chair sliding along the floor. The disturbances went on, getting more intense and more frightening. They were eventually witnessed by at least thirty people.

 

They included examples of everything a poltergeist can do – overturning chairs and tables, flinging things about, whipping off bedclothes, levitating one of the girls in full view of passers-by, making her speak with the voice of an old man and defying the laws of physics by passing matter through solid matter.

 

Much of this bewildering and often terrifying activity was captured on tape and film by Maurice Grosse of the Society for Psychical Research and his colleague Guy Lyon

Playfair, who were on the case within days of its outbreak stayed on it until it finally came to an end, with a twist as unexpected and surprising as in any detective story.

 

No other case of its kind has been so well witnessed from start to finish or so thoroughly documented. Incidents are described as they happened, without embellishment, from some six hundred pages of transcripts of live tape recordings. The story of the Enfield poltergeist is already regarded as a classic in the annals of psychical research. It has been the subject of worldwide press coverage and several radio and television documentaries.

 

What I thought of ‘This House is Haunted’ ~

 

The story of The Enfield Poltergeist’ is well documented and is still talked about today. I did enjoy the story but I found a lot of the occurrences questionable, I believed that something was happening to the family and to a point it was paranormal but I think there are questions unanswered.

Synopsis ~

 

They say that the cure for Love will make me happy and safe forever. And I've always believed them. Until now. Now everything has changed. Now, I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.

 

What I thought of ‘Delirium’ ~

 

I enjoyed ‘Delirium’, it was a strong story and the characters were well written especially the change in Lena from the start of the book to the end. At the beginning of the story Lena is very accepting of her world, that love is a disease and because of love she has lost her parents, Lena chooses not to see what her world really is until she meets Alex, a boy who shows her what the world really is.

 

I found Lena quite frustrating because she believed everything she was told and I enjoyed seeing the change in her.

‘Hana’ is the story of Hana, Lena’s friend in ‘Delirium’ and how she deals with the changes within herself and Lena. An interesting story told from Hana’s point of view.

But the old Lena is dead too.

I buried her.

I left her beyond a fence,

behind a wall of smoke and flame.

 

Lauren Oliver delivers an electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Delirium. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, forbidden romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.

 

What I thought of ‘Pandemonium’ ~

 

I enjoyed ‘Pandemonium’ more than ‘Delirium’, the story was stronger, Lana has completely changed and is now fighting back against the world she escaped from. Lana has to learn to cope on her own and becomes stronger. There is excitement throughout the book and the story keeps you entertained to the very end.

 

I am looking forward to the final installment ‘Requiem’.

It’s been 3 years, 1 month, 1 week and 6 days since Sherry has seen daylight. When things went wrong up above, she was sealed off from the world in a bunker with her family.

But can Sherry keep her family and Joshua safe, when his desire for vengeance threatens them all?

‘The Other Life’ was an interesting read, I liked the idea of Sherry leaving the bunker which has kept her and her family safe for the past 3 years, what Sherry finds is not what she was expected, everything she knew is gone and all is left is the Weepers, victims of the disease which forced Sherry and her family into the bunker.

It is a dangerous world that Lilly lives in. The walking dead lurk in every corner, massacring anyone they can get their hands on. Nowhere is safe. But when a terrifying ordeal leaves numerous dead, Lilly and her companions are forced out of their tented community and into the open. Safety seems to come in the form of Woodbury, a gated compound with food and protection. Yet it’s not long before the wanton dangers of Woodbury reveal themselves, and the Governor’s despotic rule of the compound threatens to undermine everything Lilly believes in. Because sometimes the dead aren't the biggest threat. It’s the living . . .

 

What I thought of ‘The Walking Dead: The Road to Woodbury’~

 

Following on from the first book in the series, ‘The Rise of the Governor’, we meet Lily, another survivor who is facing the threat of the walking dead. The story begins with Lily living in a camp site with other survivors which unfortunately falls to the walkers. Lily with a few other people is forced to leave the camp site and begins her journey to Woodbury where she finds that Woodbury is not what she thought it was.

 

I did not enjoy ‘The Road to Woodbury’ as much as I enjoyed ‘The Rise of the Governor’, the story started on strong but as it progressed it became very lacklustre. I found Lily not very appealing as a character, I felt she should have been a stronger character in a lot of ways.
