Gemz Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 The Princess Diaries - Meg Cabot Review This book was rather childish but obviously it is aimed at younger girls (teens) so that is understandable, reading it made me remember how difficult it can be to be a young girl and how everything seems so much bigger than they actually are. What annoys me about these kinds of books is that there is always a boy in love with the main character without them knowing until later on in the book, obviously with this one it will be in the sequel but its so annoying. I know Im not the greatest at reviews so really this is just a rant about the book itself. In the end I did enjoy the book although my class made fun of me for reading what they called a kiddy book (they are 9 - 12 btw) but I enjoy reading it and they were told that!

Gemz Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Inkheart - Cornelia Funke Inkheart was an extremely enjoyable book, I enjoyed the character Dustfinger and how complicated he was throughout the book, although he was rather predictable. I would definately read this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemz Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Redemption isn't a word Jim Heron knows much about-his specialty is revenge, and to him, sin is all relative. But everything changes when he becomes a fallen angel and is charge with saving the souls of seven people from the seven deadly sins. And failure is not an option. Vin DiPietro long ago sold his soul to his business, and he's good with that-until fate intervenes in the form of a tough- talking, Harley-riding, self-professed savior. But then he meets a woman who will make him question his destiny, his sanity, and his heart-and he has to work with a fallen angel to win her over and redeem his own soul. (curtesy of amazon) My feelings on the book: I actually expected a bit more demons from this book, but to be honest I was very impressed anyways. Jim the hero is a very good hero to have, a very unexpected hero with his past and his attitude. The story is captivating throughout and the obvious is actually a mistake. Don't want to spoil too much of the book, but this is basically a battle between heaven and hell using the humans as pawns (similar to Constantine but in a more subtle and interesting way. My rating: 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
