War Horse

The Blurb: I saw the grey soldiers ahead of us raise their rifles and heard the death rattle of a machine gun.... A powerful story of the truest friendships in the worst of wars from the award-winning master storyteller Michael Morpurgo.
Fave Quote: "Wherever you are , I'll find you, Joey."






"Separated By War Tested by Battle Bound by Friendship"
That's the line on the cover of this Book and it was spot on this is not my first and won't be my last Michael Morpurgo book. I love Morpurgos work he is my all time favorite  children's author. I took my time with this book it may be short but there are moments in this story that will stick with you. If you have watched the film the book may disappoint or it may not but I am not hear to talk about the film that's a sperate entity. War horse as it suggests follows a horse called Joey and you meet Joey at a horse sale and he gets brought by a farmer Mr Narracot and there Joey forms a bond with Albert and Albert is kind to Joey and talks to him even though Joey doesn't understand him all through the book you read Joey's thoughts so he doesn't talk like you expect in some animal books but to me that's more like real life and as a reader its more personal and intimate. Unfortunately World War One Starts and the Army want equipment Horses etc and Albert s father has no choice but to sell Joey to the army and for me thats the first real gut rencing sacrifice that people made and Albert makes and Albert wants to sign up for the army just so he can be with his beloved horse but he is too young and Albert Promises Joey he will find him "Wherever you are I'll find you Joey". The Middle Part of the book is the time Joey spends time with both armies first he spends time training with the British Army were he meets Top-thorn who is another horse and is under the care of Captain Nichols and others. Joey is trained up to go fight on the front line. I like Captain Nichols as he keeps his promise to Albert and sends pictures of Joey. When they get to France they fight they go to No mans land and Murpugo writes this brilliant and builds it up he writes war for children very well and any child or adult will understand what does happen in this chapter of the book.After there time with the British army Joey and Top-thorn then help the German medical army and stay with Emil lie and her grandfather for a bit and again Emil-lie adores Joey and says that she will hide them after the army is finished with them. The medical army leaves the area and the Horses stay until a another German Army Group comes and take Joey and Top thorn to help with taking the massive gun to the front line I didn't like this bit if you have read the book you will understand why. The book then builds up nicely to that Iconic Scene of Joey galloping and getting caught in the wire out in the middle of no-mans land. The movie did Justice and i am glad that the movie kept a lot of the story. The scene with the two soldiers is very funny and heartwarming English and German coming together to help a horse free is such a powerful image and gives hope that 2 sides can work together. This book is about war so it makes sense for such content that this story has a happy ending and the reunion with Albert is a touching once when Albert is describing to his friend who is washing Joey what Joey looks like is funny "He was my Albert and there was no doubt about it he was My Albert " The ending with the grandfather buying Joey at the Horse sale and selling Joey back for a penny was touching and made me smile "I sell you this Horse for one English Penny and for a solemn promise that you will always love this horse as much as my Emile" What a lovely message to children and adults I will sell you a horse in exchange you tell everyone about my granddaughter.
I think Children and Adults would love this book powerful moving and is so believable its a good way to introduce children about war and the sacrifices that were made and still being made today. 5/5

The Scorch Trails

The Scorch Trails

By: James Dashner

No of  pages: 359

Fave Quote: “No. I kind of accepted it, in a way. That saving you was worth losing what we might've had.”

Blurb: Solving the Maze was Supposed to be the end. No more puzzles and no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant we  would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of life they were going back to. Burned and baked the earth is a wasteland its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom Thomas must face another trail. He must cross the Scorch to once again save himself and his friends.

So Thomas and the rest of the Gladers have esp escaped  the maze YAY but wait its not over Teresa is missing there is a new guy called Aris and Now Wicked is making them cross the desert to face nothing but excruciating heat were the people who live there are infected by a disease called the Flare. 

The Scorch Trails is the second book in the Maze Runner trilogy it takes place straight after the events in the maze which i love there is no 3 years later thing it take place straight away which is fantastic because you don't get that feeling there are a huge chunks of story missing. I enjoyed reading the Maze runner so I went to my local Libray and picked up my copy of the Scorch Trails again I felt the first half of the book was a slow start so it took me a while to read this book and Dashner took his time building up the Suspense through the first half of this book Thomas is trying to get in touch with Teresa in his mind to no avail making him think that something has happened Dashner makes this the  main part to the first half and all Thomas can think about is what happened to Teresa I think that this kind of takes away more reading time of what the other gladers are doing and thinking because Thomas decisions are based on finding Terasa  and when we do find out that she is still alive she acts a bit weird and tells him to run from her as fast as he can and from that point the story really gets going. The Gladers meet Cranks which are people who live out in the Scorch and have succumbed to the Flare not all have gone crazy Thomas meets Brenda and other Cranks and Thomas befriends 2 a boy and a girl and he promise Brenda that he will get her to the safe place and get the cure that they all want. I love the new caricatures in this book they are so brilliantly written and they blend in well with the other Gladers. The first part is slow so take your time reading it i promise you will get into it but Oh my god the second half of this book hits you like a train literally hits you if you think you have figured out everything think again i was left confused and felt for Thomas i really did because he has no idea what is going on either I love when writers do that when they lure you into a false sense of security and then just as you the reader have made sense of the plot and you think you know in which direction the plot is going Dashner takes it in a total new and exciting turn that makes you want more and more the Maze Runner and The Scorch Trails are thrillers more then they are dystopian. In this book Thomas gets flashback of what happens before he went into the maze so you are finding out what happens as Thomas does and I love that you don't know what happens before the maze you only find out through Thomas slowly getting his memory back and that's why this book is so good the plot is crazy I did feel that the ending was a bit rushed and didn't make a whole load of sense and I hope my questions are answered in the Death Cure. 

What is Wicked and will Thomas get the answers he wants. I give this book a Sun blazing 4/5 stars

The Maze Runner #1

The Maze Runner
By: James Dashner
Number of Pages: 371
Blurb: When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas can remember is his first name. But he's not alone He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the glade, an encampment at the center of a bizarre  and terrible maze. Like Thomas the Gladers don't know why or how they came to be there or whats happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back they will risk everything to find out even the Grivers, half machine half animal horrors that hunt the maze's walled corridors.
Fave Quote  "Don't worry he whispered, hoping they could hear him. I did it on purpose"


If you are a fan of the Hunger Games and you want to read this book then read this book for how it is not because you love the Hunger Games and you think this is going to be the same. This book is not the Hunger Games its a very different book and its a brilliant read. The Maze Runner follows a guy named Thomas who wakes up in a Metal lift which takes him to this maze and there he walks into a glade in the middle of the Maze and meets the Gladers a group of boys who live there. Thomas and the other boys don't know there story, Age or were they have come from all they know are there names and nothing else. Thomas quickly discovers more about the Maze through the other boys and discovers that they have there own language for things he also discovers that there are a group of boys called Runners and Thomas makes his mind to be a Runner and explore the Maze not only that there are Robotic like Slugs called Grivers that live outside the maze waiting for anyone brave enough to come along, the boys are terrified when a Griver does get them that they will go through the changing. Soon after Thomas arrives A girl comes to the Maze and has a message that she is the last one that's when the story really begins. I loved the dynamic and the friendships in this book when I was reading in my mind this screamed Lord of the flies but in a maze that's what I likened it to, When Teresa arrives she is the only girl in this established group of boys and the boys are scared because they don't know what to make of this girl who comes and Thomas is intrigued as she can communicate with him in his mind and it freaks him out because  he somehow knows this girl but cant remember were. The book is a bit slow in the first part because Thomas is learning about how things work the justice system is cruel to him and it made my stomach turn reading that bit and he is learning how to be a Runner in the Maze the second part of the book really picks up the pace when Thomas discovers that the Gladers have been trying to get out of the Maze for 2 years and the realization that someone or something has put them there for a reason is haunting. The ending of this book is sad and it does end on a cliff hanger you really build a relationship up with Thomas and the others Newt Minho Alby all play a part in helping each other out. I would like to say that i am not a big fan of the main caricature being all brave and Thomas is always the hero when they are in dangerous situations which annoys me. This book does live up to the hype but to compare it to the Hunger Games would be wrong its a different story altogether and the fact its set in a Maze is genius and I think it plays on your fears being trapped in a maze with terrifying creatures and having to survive and not knowing who you are is very original idea. There fore this book gets a Mazetastic 5/5 stars and I can not wait to read the second book of this series.

The Night Circus

The Night Circus
By: Erin Morgenstern
Number of Pages: 490
Blurb:  The Circus Arrives without warning 
No announcements precede it...
It is simply there, When yesterday it was not.
Fave Quote: "What kind of Circus is only open at night?"

How Do I describe this book? The answer you can't really you need to read it to make your mind up for me after I finished this book my mind was blown. I have never read anything so engaging and dream like in my reading experience ever. Erin Morgenstern wrote this book in a dream like way she wrote the circus so precisely in the book you are Reading from how the Circus starts and how its started to who is picked to be part of the circus and why and when its up and running to the end when its in danger of ending. The Caricatures in this book are so brilliant and there plots and development are very detailed its hard to keep up. You have Celia and Marco who as children have been trained to take part in this challenge and are trained in the art of illusion to take part in a duel and have been told that only one can live there story in this book is so compelling and lovely and there relationship is honest and these 2 caricatures drive the book forward and keep you wanting more. Then you have Bailey a normal boy who discovers the Circus because he has been dared to get something Bailey is your way in to the Circus he guides you and from his eyes you get to meet Poppet and Widget the Twins and they form a close friendship with Bailey. The twins are awesome and as caricatures make a wonderful double act.
It took me a while to read this book and its not a book you can rush through it takes time to read and digest what you have read i think as a reader you do need to get a copy read it once and then twice to appreciate and savor every morsel and to let your imagination work overtime while reading this well thought out Novel. This Novel is set in the late 1800s early 1900s and the historical accuracy is brilliant. I think this book will stay with me forever and will deffiantley be my reading highlight of 2013. I look forward to reading more of Morgensterns work in the future. This book gets a Spellbinding 5/5 stars. 

If you enjoyed the Night Circus do let me know I hope you enjoyed this review :)

The Boy who fell to earth

The Boy Who Fell To Earth

By: Kathy Lette
The Blurb: Meet Merlin. He's Lucy's bright, beautiful son- who just happens to be autistic.
Since Merlin's father left them in the lurch shortly after his son's diagnosis, Lucy has made Merlin the center of her world. Struggling with the joys and tribulations of raising her eccentrically adorable yet challenging child (if only Merlin came with operating instructions), Lucy doesnt't have room for any other man in her life. 

By the time Merlin turns ten, Lucy is seriously worried that the Pope might start ringing her up for tips on celibacy, so resolves to dip a poorly pedicured toe back into the world of dating. Thanks to Merlin's candor and quirkiness, things don't go quite to plan... Then, just when  Lucy's resolved to a life of singledom once more, Archie the most imperfectly perfect man for her and her son lands on her doorstep. But then so does Merlin's father, begging for forgiveness and a second chance. Does Lucy need a real father for Merlin- or a real partner for herself?
Fave Qoute:"I wanted our son to have a name which would make him stand out in crowd, something out of the ordinary to mark him as different. Well not in my wildest imaginings could I have known how different my son would turn out to be"
Number of pages: 321

Review: 

I am giving this book 3 stars I enjoyed this book even though Chic lit is not my fave genre but I loved the premise of the book single mum struggling to bring up her Autistic son I don't think has been done before I certainty enjoyed it as is saw some of me in Merlin and I for one who also has Aspgers the struggle to live with the condition is a hard one and i could understand were Merlin is coming from I loved his quotes he good some really good one liners aseptically when it came to the subject of sex lol. I didn't really like Lucy she came across as a mum who really didint want Merlin to do anything of himself but it was funny when she started dated other men and the reaction to Merlin was funny hard to date when your son doesn't quite get it and her struggle to teach Merlin the Social Rule. and don't get me started on Jeremy Merlin's father actually don't get me started. all in all a good read and a good insight into Autism and the Struggle that any parents/family face was well documented. I would certainty recommend it to people who want something different from this Genre. Sorry about the short review i found this book very hard to review just didn't know what to make of it enjoy.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

By: Stephanie Meyer (Author of the Twilight Saga)

No of Pages: 178

Fave Quote: "I watched his body change. He crouched on the roof, one hand gripping the edge. All that strange friendliness disappeared, and he was a hunter, That was something I recognized, Something I was comfortable with because I understood it" 

The Blurb: Bree Tanner can barely remember life before she had uncannily powerful senses, superhuman reflexes and unstoppable physical strength. Life before she had a relentless thirst for blood... life before she became a vampire.

All Bree knows is that living with her fellow newborns has a few certainties and even fewer rules: watch your back, don't draw attention to yourself and, above all, make it home by sunrise or die. What she doesn't know: her time as an immortal is quickly running out.

Then Bree finds an unexpected friend in Diego, a newborn just as curious as Bree about their mysterious creator, whom they know only as her. As they come to realize that the newborns are pawns in a game larger than anything they could have imagined, Bree and Diego must choose sides and decide whom to trust. But when everything is based on a lie, how do you find the truth?

I will start by saying I am not mad keen on tie in novels to a series. I loved Bree in Eclipse and I just felt that this story ruined my back story that I had in my head. In saying that it was a lovely short read the book gives you more information on the Newborn vampires and what they got up to to get ready for the fight with the Cullen's at the the end of Eclipse. The book introduces us to Fred Diego Bree and the other newborn vampires I love finding and reading about new/established architectures in books but for me as a reader it was hard a reader to form a relationship and get to attached to the new caricatures as what happens at the end of eclipse is inevitable. apart from Bree who narrates the book I loved Fred as he just keeps himself to himself you don't really know what Fred's special ability as a vampire is during the book as no one seems to notice him at all  and he does read a  lot on the sidelines. During the book Bree forms a close bond with Diego and the way she talks towards the end there was a beginnings of a relationship even though I did want Fred and Bree to get together. Because you know what happens to the Newborns in Eclipse (if you haven't read Eclipse I wont ruin the end for you) if you have read Eclipse you know what i am on about this book just felt like a chore to get through and it seemed to drag on a bit as there is not really much action towards the end of the book and i felt the book jumped from one thing to another. Because Bree was narrating it felt odd someone else having that role as if you like me have read this book after you have read breaking dawn that it just feels wired not having Bella narrate all the way through I kind of missed that. it was interesting getting Brees perspective when she meets Bella and the Cullen's and its a shame the book ends the way it does as Bree could of so easily of been a member of that family. The ending is sad but not that shocking and yes there are references to Eclipse so if you haven't read the Twilight series yet then please do as this book does mention the Cullen Voultori etc.

I loved Reading the Twilight saga and this book is a just a extra chapter that you didn't get in Eclipse so if you love that extra chapter then this book will perfect for you or if you wanted to know what the Newborns got up to. 

I give this Book a Vamptastic 5/10 purely because we get extra information and I loved Brees development throughout the book.

(Let me know what you though about The Short Second life of Bree Tanner or if you enjoyed the Twilight saga books leave a comment below Bye for now)

Wonder

Wonder
By R,J Palacio
No of Pages 315
Fave Quote "Everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their life because we all overcometh the world.-Auggie"
The Blurb: August Pullman wants to be an ordinary ten year old. He does ordinary things. He eats ice cream. He plays on his Xbox. He feels ordinary inside. 
But Auggie is far from ordinary. Ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go.
Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home schooled by his parents his whole life, in an attempt to protect him from the cruelty of the outside world. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school -and he's dreading it. All he wants is t be accepted- but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them underneath it all?

Dear R.J Palacio
I finished reading your clever little book Wonder and it certainly is a Wonderful book to read. As someone who has a leaning difficulty I really related to August or Auggie he likes to be known as and I empathized with him and his struggle to fit in and be accepted in life by the people who he goes to school with. This book highlights the prejudices that people have when it comes to people who have a disability or a facial abnormality. In Wonder Auggie gets called all sorts from freak to Ugly. It made me sad when his classmates make up the game the Plague and avoid touching him that really made me cry and think how can people do that to a ten year old. I loved the caricature  of Summer who from the off wants to actually be his friend and even go as far as leaving the popular kids Halloween party when they are mean to Auggie. I really felt for Auggies sister Via as she goes on her own Journey when she starts high school i had a tear in my eye when she doesn't complain about "little stuff" to her parents because they have too much on there plate to look after her brother I love the brother sister relationship in your book it goes above and beyond then just brother and sister. I like Via because she doesn't moan or complain about the situation she just gets on with it even when she is faced with her own problems in High school. I like that Via does get the big break she deserves towards the end of the book. I love all the different peoples perspectives in the book its a nice change to let other caricatures to have a go narrating and you do get a feel about what they are all thinking about Auggies Situation. I felt the best caricature development throughout the book is Jack Wills I didn't like him at first when he was mean to Auggie at the begging of the book at Halloween but he didn't realize it was Auggie but once he realized what he had done and apologized he became a likable person and it shows how someones attitude can change to someone who is different and i like that. This book has a strong message and even though Auggie is 10 the way he deals with life is someone who is much older. The ending is brilliant and very fitting to what the book is about.  If you like Star Wars the there is a lot of star wars references which appeals to the nerd in all of us. Thank you for writing a wonderful and charming story this is not just a book for me this book will stay with me for the rest of my life. I do hope you write other books in the future as your style and subject matter is brilliant and i hope future readers feel the same way as I do. 

I give this book a super rating of 10/10 ( Feel free to comment or suggest any books i should read and review enjoy)
