“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” By Ransom Riggs Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow-impossible though it seems-they may still be alive. A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

Oh my god, this book was amazing. It really gave the biggest nostalgia to childhood and the books I used to read back then. This book has adventure, danger, good characters and basically all you want in all a good fantasy book. 

This book and the plot of it gives the biggest Harry Potter and x-men combined vibe. Because this book involves friends, kids with special abilities and adventure feeling to it. This book is also mysterious, weird in a sense and intriguing.

The beginning of it started big but then after like 25 pages it went boring and then the it got back up to the interesting and enjoyable part on the last 1/3 of this book.

The characters here feels like real human beings. And the characters in this book feel like I wouldn’t have any problems with getting along with them which doesn’t happen often for me in fantasy books.

90% of all the characters in this book are children or teenagers, and we get to follow the plot through eyes of a teenager and it somehow made this entire book and plot more interesting.

The plot here is super mysterious at the first 1 / 3 of this book and we as readers don’t know what’s happening. But then as the book continues we learn more and more until we eventually fall in love with this book. 

The plot in this book is very unique and different. Which really made me love this book much more.

In this book we also get illustration or rather old pictures which add even more to this book. Which really adds more unique feeling to this book.

The writing style in this book was very easy and it really didn’t take a lot of brain power to enjoy it.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

“The Storks” By Hans Christian Andersen Review

Posted in Other ReviewsTagged , , Leave a comment

“One of you will be hanged, the second imprisoned, the third burned and the fourth turned upside down.” This is how the children mocked the family of storks that lived on the roof. This frightened the chicks and, to reassure them, their mother spoke of the long journey they would soon take. And, who knows, perhaps one day they would have their revenge on the little tyrants who mocked them in their nest.

This one is the first story written by Hans Christian Andersen which ive read. And I gotta say that I loved it. 

This story have something unique about it, which really makes it to stand out. 

The moral of the story is great but of course I won’t ruin the fun for people who haven’t read this one with spoiler talk.

Some people after reading this short story might say that storks are malicious or evil but the real bad guys in this story are humans as they always are. 

This story is very short and can be read in 5 minutes at the very worse. 

The writing style here is very easy but at the same its very thick in old English.

“The Tales of Beedle the Bard” By J.K. Rowling Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

“The Tales of Beedle the Bard” contains five richly diverse fairy tales, each with its own magical character, that will variously bring delight, laughter and the thrill of mortal peril. Additional notes for each story penned by Professor Albus Dumbledore will be enjoyed by Muggles and wizards alike, as the Professor muses on the morals illuminated by the tales, and reveals snippets of information about life at Hogwarts.

This book is another amazing book from the Wizarding World which for sure is an amazing addition to your bookshelf. 

This book is very short but of course it is full with fun little satires from the Wizarding World. There are 5 children stories in this book which every wizards have read to their children for decades. 

All of these stories which are presented to us gives the biggest Wizarding World vibes. Maybe not the same vibe as the original Harry Potter books but you can still feel like these stories are very heavily linked to the Wizarding World which I personally loved it.

Each of these short stories if you will tells us a different life moral like don’t lie, be brave, help people etc. 

The writing style here is amazing and it totally feels like it was written by someone in the Wizarding World and that the notes in this book also feels like they were written by Albus Dumbledore. Which really made me love this book even more because you can truly see that amount of effort put into this book. 

I Give Play 5 / 5

“The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” By L. Frank Baum Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , , Leave a comment

Swept away from her home in Kansas by a tornado, Dorothy and her dog Toto find themselves stranded in the fantastical Land of Oz. As instructed by the Good Witch of the North and the Munchkins, Dorothy sets off on the yellow brick road to try and find her way to the Emerald City and the Wizard of Oz, who can help her get home. With her companions the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy experiences an adventure full of friendship, magic and danger. A much-loved children’s classic, The Wizard of Oz continues to delight readers young and old with its enchanting tale of witches, flying monkeys and silver shoes.

This book was so good that I don’t have words good enough to describe this book and how good it was.

The plot in this book gave me the biggest nostalgia to my childhood. And to the time when all children wants magic to be real. This book is the perfect place to go to when you want to re-live the childhood nostalgia. 

The plot here was super interesting, enjoyable and it is a page turner. And the plot really surprised me because it in a way different than the movies and the musical. I mean different in a very positive way. 

This book is really quick to read because it has around 150 pages but of course the page amount depends on the edition of this book. But this book can be fully read in one sitting.

The characters in this book were super relatable and super amazing to follow throughout the book. Every character have something to them which makes them unlike the rest of the characters. And of course the characters really stays in your mind after finishing this book.

The writing style here was very easy and its clear from the writing style that this book is meant for grade school kids. But it really is still very good even if you read this book as an adult. 

To be fully honest this book is the second best classic book I’ve read so far in my life. And this book got me more interesting in reading more classic books even thou the majority of the classic books I read I end up not liking.

“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore: The Original Screenplay” By J.K. Rowling Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Professor Albus Dumbledore knows the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald is moving to seize control of the wizarding world. Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches, and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers. But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?

Yet again another fantastic book from the Wizarding World which is also the Original Screenplay for the movie Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore which of course I’ve watched in the cinema when it first came out. 

The original scripts for these movies which were turned also to books are very well written and they really suck you into the Wizarding World again. Maybe not the same way the Harry Potter books did but you can still feel the child inside of you rising with joy while you read this book. From the way it was written you can really feel like it was written by no other than J.K Rowling which I personally completely love. 

This book leaves things pretty open because Grindelwald losses but he is still out there somewhere and we don’t know quite what happens to him. I personally would love nothing more than to get more books happening in the Wizarding World just to know what happened with Grindelwald but also other things. 

This third book is kind of different from book 2 and 1 because the first 2 books focuses more of fast action but this book is slower and we get to look better at the characters instead of focusing the attention on the action. 

The characters here are getting better and better. This fact makes me want to read more about them like what other events they been involved in, about their lives etc. 

In this book we also get additional commentary from the actors but also from the movie producers who had worked on the movie. And these additional commentary gives us some interesting facts and we also get some very good illustrations on how different scenes are supposed to look in the movie.

“Murder on the Orient Express” By Agatha Christie Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , , Leave a comment

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the famous Orient Express in its tracks as it travels through the mountainous Balkans. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year but, by the morning, it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. One of the passengers is none other than detective Hercule Poirot. On vacation. Isolated and with a killer on board, Poirot must identify the murderer—in case he or she decides to strike again.

To be fully honest this book is probably the best mystery book I’ve read so far and it happens as well that this book is the first book written by Agatha Christie I’ve read. 

The plot in this book is very incredible. Because there is so much into it. It really made me super engaged in it and I had super hard time putting it down which I complete love when it happens. And as someone who loves traveling by train it made me love this book much more. This book completely made me love traveling by train much more and sit made it much more exciting. 

The whole book contains all the things I love which are travelling by train, a murder mystery, many suspects, a alibi for everyone. And what do you need more ? That’s a full score for me personally. 

The characters here are wow, super amazing and super complexed.  They all are different from each other but in the end they might have somethings in common. 

The writing style was even more amazing. Because it felt like I was right there in the book with all the other characters and I was watching what was happening.

Agatha Christie with this book have scored the full score for me here because it has all the things I love with mystery books.

“The Great Gatsby” By F. Scott Fitzgerald Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , , Leave a comment

Young, handsome and fabulously rich, Jay Gatsby is the bright star of the Jazz Age, but as writer Nick Carraway is drawn into the decadent orbit of his Long Island mansion, where the party never seems to end, he finds himself faced by the mystery of Gatsby’s origins and desires. Beneath the shimmering surface of his life, Gatsby is hiding a secret: a silent longing that can never be fulfilled. And soon, this destructive obsession will force his world to unravel.

This is an amazing book but very overrated in my opinion. Because it yes it is good but not as good as people on the internet claim it to be. 

This book is in a way a tragic book about a love story without an happy ending which is most perfect love story which could possible exist.

The love story in this book is complete flawless which really made this book so much better for me personally. 

This book is one of these unique books which you can read several times, never get bored of it but also with each time you read it you notice something new. Which really shows in my opinion how good this book is.

The plot here is amazing here but I still had every once and a while hard time with fully connecting with the story. It might have something to do with a lot of action happening in a very short time. The plot however was very unique because I never come across a plot which was never slightly similar to this one yet of course. 

The writing style here was very old timey but it fitted very well with the plot and how  the plot was presented to us. The writing style really felt like we were in the story like a third person in the round rather than reading about it. 

The characters here were very good, they felt like real people who lived back in the day and I really liked every character presented in this book. Jay Gatsby felt like the classic best friend neighbour who later turns out to be a drug dealer or mob leader. But hey that’s what it made me like this book so much. 

After reading this book Jay Gatsby became one of my top 10 favourite fictional characters because there is something mysterious to him but also something of a hopeless romantic in a way.

“Dark Reunion” By L.J. Smith Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Elena rises from the dead to recreate the powerful vampire trio. Summoned by Elena, Stefan keeps a promise to her and fights the most terrifying evil he’s ever faced. Joining the brother he once called enemy, Damon battles this new horror with strength, cunning, and deadly charm.

I need to be honest and say that this book was the best book in the “Vampire Diaries” series so far. And this book is the 4th book in the “Vampire Diaries” book series. 

The more action in this book goes through the roof and it really surprised me a lot. There is a lot of things happening in this book and it is really easy to follow it which really I gave this book some extra points for. 

The plot is super easy but at the same time it has many layers to it which I found enjoyable. The plot here is very YA style but I found myself enjoying it much more than I’ve expected.  The plot in this book doesn’t take a lot of brain power just as in the first book in this series

The character development is getting better and better in this series which I always love to see. All of the characters are super interesting, enjoyable and super relatable to. And I really just needed to know what would happen to them. 

The writing style is the same as in the first and second books in the series. It is easy and simple and it still a good fit with the plot.

“The Adventure of the Priory School” By Arthur Conan Doyle Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , , Leave a comment

Holmes receives a visit from Dr. Thorneycroft Huxtable, the founder and principal of a preparatory school called Priory School in Northern England. He beseeches Holmes to come back to Mackleton with him to look into the disappearance of one of his pupils, the ten-year-old Lord Saltire, whose father is the very rich and famous Duke of Holdernesse.

The plot in this one is been what I’ve been waiting for in a Sherlock Holmes story. The plot his is a complete masterpiece. And a part of me wish that it would have been longer so that I would enjoy this story longer.

This one is very interesting, enjoyable and entreating which a Sherlock Holmes should be like. 

The characters here are okay but when it comes to Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson they are an amazing due and I loved they both because they have something in them which makes us relate to them.

The writing style here was okay but I think that sir Arthur Conan Doyle could have done better in this book.
