Yet again we are talking about a poem which really didn’t work for me.
The plot was interesting but the way it was written didn’t work for me and I just couldn’t connect with me.
The writing style here wasn’t the best and its probably the thing which annoyed me the most with this poem.
I give this poem 1 / 5
Another poem which didn’t go well with me. I really consider stop reading poems because 95% of poems Ive read so far didn’t go well with me.
The plot here wasn’t great and I just couldn’t connect with me. It could be interesting if it was a short story rather than a poem.
The writing style here wasn’t the best I’ve seen in a poem.
I give this poem 1 / 5
Yet again another poem which I didn’t enjoy. The more poems I read the more I start to think that poems aren’t for me.
The plot here was decent for the most part but it didn’t connect with me and if a plot doesn’t connect with me then the rating will be low.
The writing style here wasn’t the best because of the old British in this poem. Which for me is the hardest thing to understand even thou I speak English.
I give this poem 1 / 5
It’s 1965 in a tight-knit working-class neighborhood in Queens, New York, and Ruth Malone – a single mother who works long hours as a cocktail waitress – wakes to discover her two small children, Frankie Jr. and Cindy, have gone missing. Later that day, Cindy’s body is found in a derelict lot a half mile from her home, strangled. Ten days later, Frankie Jr.’s decomposing body is found. Immediately, all fingers point to Ruth.
If you been around this website before you would have noticed that I’m a huge fan of Mystery and Thriller books which this book is. But this one didn’t go well with me for whatever reason.
One of my main problems with this book is that the action was too slow. And my second main problem with this book is that the book focuses too much on Ruth being a mistress than Ruth being a mother who’s kids vanished and was later found dead. I picked up this book to read about the mysterious vanishing of someone and not about the main character having drama with her ex husband, going out and party every night and have sex with different man. Im not into that, let me say that.
I want to sinister vibe, I want the eerie vibe, I want the mystery, I want the investigation but I don’t want to read about the main character having sex with different man and partying while her kids have been murdered and the police doing very bad investigation in the case.
For me the side problems were taking too much space and they were taking our focus onto them and making us sort of look at the murder of two children as a side problem.
The writing style however was the best part of this book because it really gave the vibe of New York in 1960s. I liked that.
Its important for me to mention this that I’ve DNF-ed this book like 120 pages in because of the points I’ve mentioned above.
I give this point 1 / 5
As Kingfishers Catch Fire is a selection of Gerard Manley Hopkins’ incomparably brilliant poetry, ranging from the ecstasy of ‘The Windhover’ and ‘Pied Beauty’ to the heart-wrenching despair of the ‘sonnets of desolation’.
Another poem which didn’t go well with me. After reading a decent amount of poems I think that poems aren’t for me.
The plot here was not great because I just couldn’t connect with it and it felt like the generic plot for all poems.
The writing style here was not great either because it was hard to read due to the old English and it really didn’t give me the vibe which would make interested in it.
I give this poem 1 / 5
I gotta be honest and admit that it wasn’t the greatest poem I’ve read. And I also need to admit that it was my first poem written by Leigh Hunt.
The plot was okay but I just couldn’t connect with it and it didn’t really speak out to me. And if you have read some of my reviews than you might know that if I can connect the plot then the rating tends to be low.
The writing style was okay but that’s just from my perspective and I don’t really know how to review poems in a good way.
I give this poem 1 / 5
A Gentleman in Moscow immerses us in another elegantly drawn era with the story of Count Alexander Rostov. When, in 1922, he is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the count is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him a doorway into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
I gotta say that I’ve had high expectations for this one, but it didn’t live up to these expectations. It means like the higher rating a book has on goodreads the lower my rating becomes for whatever mysterious reason.
The plot itself is the overall about the Communist Russia where you aren’t allowed to speak about how fucked up Russia is but the main character got out of this trouble quit easily because he is a rich. And he spend the entire book yapping about how the world is unfair because his big apartment got taken away from him and he must live in much smaller apartment.
The writing style is quit amazing, because it has the old timey vibe to it, but nothing more than this. It could have been much better if the author decided to not use so many words as he did in this book. It really seemed like the author was trying to put every word he knew in this book.
The sentence structure is just insane in this one. Because it is bloated that it doesn’t even make sense sometimes. And the footnotes here are too many of them in this Novell.
Everyone talks about how wonderful this novel is but in my opinion this novel is just a boring, stuffy and stodgy novel.
This novel takes place in a period of 30 years. And there are times where characters disappears for year to just reappear again after like 20 years. This really annoyed me because it like deleting a part of the novel.
This book has talk a decent deal about best wines and best foods. And I don’t care for it. Of course I love food but when I’m picking a book I don’t want to read about how good expensive food and wine is.
The main characters seemed like caricatures or a parody of a main character. And the amount of wine and other alcohol he drinks in this book is so unbelievable.
The descriptions in this one and the details are too much in this book. There will be couple of times where the author will spend one whole side describing nothing which brings something to the main story.
The history aspect of this story is that it doesn’t make sense. Because while thousands of people have been killed during the Stalinist rule, our main character done a similar crime to people how have been murdered but he just gets the punishment to be locked in a luxury hotel and drink wine all day and do nothing.
I give this book 1 / 5
As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob – knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?
I gotta say that this one is the weakest book in the whole series so far, keep in mind that I have still like “Breaking dawn”, “Life and Death” and “Midnight Sun” to read. Which means that I’ve have 3 books to read in this series so everything can happen. But lets get into the review.
The plot oh boy, was very very weak. Because Jake begins to feel more or more crazy as the rest of the gang in this book. Edward become even more insufferable in this book, Charlie the only rational parent in this book have lost his mind as the rest of the gang. Bella gets even more insufferable than Edward because she won’t stop yapping about how being human sucks and how being a vampire is so amazing and great. And I gotta say Rosalie have become my favourite character because in this book we get to know why she doesn’t like Bella and why she is always so grim. I really wish that Bella was like her and less like Edward in a way.
The writing style really takes a dive in this book, so much that I needed to switch to an audiobook instead of reading the physical version of this book. I had super hard time reading this book.
The situation between Jake, Edward and Bella is just even more insufferable than Edwards and Bella together. Because when Edward was gone in the second book in the series Bella became super best friends with Jake but the moment Edward showed up she completely forgets about Jake and just throws him out of her life like trash. It’s not a fun way to treat someone even a fictional character.
And the fact that Jake calls Edward “Blood-sucker” and Edward calls Jake “Dog” and Bella just lets them offend each other in front of her really pisses me off. Because how can you let your parent and your best friend insult each other in front of you and just not say anything about it? I can’t understand that.
The big fight which this entire book is about doesn’t happen longer than 10 pages even the rest of the boo over 400 pages is about getting ready for the fight. Whats the point of doing that? Creating a fight for 400 pages but when the fight comes don’t give it longer time than 10 pages? Can someone explain this to me?
I give this point 1 / 5

For the record I bought this book on Ebay very long ago, (2015) back when I was 13 years old and interested in witchcraft and supernatural stuff. But along the way something happened and I’m very skeptical person now. With that being said lets get into the review.
As you might expect this book is nothing but “spells” which will help you get rich, turn into werewolf, find love, turn into vampire and other not so clever things which can’t happen by just lighting candles and saying some words in the woods.
I can’t say much about these so-called spells because I don’t know who people review spells but if any of you know that please let me know.
After going doing my research on Goodreads about this book I found out that most of the people who have read this book liked it but I didn’t.
The language in this book was pretty simple but some explanations were really hard to understand. It might be something to do with English being my second language but yet again I never read any spells before this book.
As I’ve said above I’m very skeptical person when it comes to everything out of the ordinary and magic is one of these things Im very skeptical towards. And this person didn’t do a good job at conniving me that magic is real.
For the most part it felt like a textbook from the Hogwarts which have been removed from the use. And it wasn’t even good enough for Hogwarts because it felt like it was trying way to hard to look like something from Hogwarts but not fitting.
I give this book 1 / 5
Yet again a low rated poem by Emily Dickinson.
The plot was interesting in this one but the way it was written made it feel very boring.
The writing style was bad, it may have something to do with the sweet plot and old English being mixed together. The only genre which the old English fits is horror.
But I gotta say that it was a good poem for children in pre school.
I give this poem 1 / 5
