City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare


City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1)
R:it was amazing (my current rating) it was amazing (my current rating) it was amazing (my current rating) it was amazing (my current rating) it was amazing (my current rating)
By: Cassandra Clare

At first I thought the book's pace was too fast considering that I expected a brief introduction to our main character. This is later achieved during the rest of the story.
  • Pace: 95%
  • Plot: 50% I COULD SEE EVERYTHING COMING._.
  • Characters: 90%  I wanted to hear more about Simon, the others were okay.
  •  Setting: 100%
  • Visual Aids: 100% (I could actually feel the things Cassie talked about, almost as if they were real)
now let's go personal..

At first I was like, 
 and everything seemed so, familiar.
the typical mysterious-guy-vulnerable-girl relationship with a little of action
but oh well, the plot was kinda good so I gave it a chance and then, 
I LIKED IT :3 but near the end it was so frustrating..
but oh well! I'm really looking forward to City Of Ashes.
  THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT:
  •   everything was so obvious, like
let me guess? they're going to kill that guy now?
  • the characters were not well backed up, I wanted to know more about them.
  • OMG when Jace talks about his bird, it's so freaking sad 



 AND

THERE'S GOING TO BE A MOVIE ABOUT IT, HOW LOVELY.

So I'm almost done with Cassandra Clare's City of Bones     
And I'm like seriously loving it like, r e a l l y loving it!
 really looking forward to the rest of The Mortal Instruments books!

Wherever Nina Lies

Wherever Nina Lies 
R:
  • Pace: too freaking fast. 
  • Plot: Got a lot of potential, didn't express it right though.
  • Characters: Our main character, Ellie needed more backstory, the others were fine.
Now let's go personal ..

So at first it was all like, 
but a minute later it was like, 
 And omg, the sexy-time  parts were like:
 

Overall I think it was a book full of potential nevertheless the author's pace is quite fucked up. 

Recommended for: 
- Pretty Little Liars fans.
- Gossip Girl fans.
- Yogurt fans (WNL inside joke)

My Name Is Memory

My Name is Memory Rating:    

  My Name Is Memory by Ann Brashares

- The kind of book you read while on your period.

- Amazing and beautifully written.

- The plot: 100% well backed up. 

-Pace: 50% too fast! 

- 2 points of view. 

now, let's go personal:

 OMGOMGOMGOMG I SO LOVED THIS BOOK. 

At first it was like, 

and, 
 but sometimes it was like, 
And the ending, OMG the freaking ending, 
 

 

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas    
Rating:   
 So at first I was like,
and then when I realized where it was going,
The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, a masterpiece by John Boyne, is a story about Bruno, a 9 year old kid whose life's flipped upside down the minute he moves next to a concentration camp. The story takes place during the 50's or so. The story's situation is made less heavier than it actually is since it is told from Bruno's point of view.

- I really liked the way the author made everything so vivid even though it's a kid's point of view.
- I really liked the way Bruno behaved with certain characters, since it showed how much you could learn from a kid. (some of the adults in the story were annoying pricks to others)
- It lacked more details and backstory.
- the freaking ending, 
and the last thing I want to point out is: At the end of this story it says that this most likely wouldn't happen nowadays. This is my interpretation: 

There's no such person, or in this case, friend that would give everything up for you. At least, not nowadays.

Thank you Boyne for this adventure.
Oh, and thank you too, Bruno.
 

                                            

Perks of Being a Wallflower

Dear Friends,

Finished “The Perks Of Being A Wallflower” and honestly I cried when I was done. Not because it had a sad ending, but because it was over. The adventure was over. I wanted more. I still want more. I just can’t believe I finished the book. All of my expectations were fulfilled with that book, and even though it's an easy to read book it's not easy to understand. You can make it your own. You can relate to what the author wrote. And that's the thing about this book. It feels real. It is real for me. The words weren't just words, for some of us they were reality. That book’s just amazing, and I can truly say it was a story worth reading and an experience worth living.

Love always,


Andrea.

P.S: MY REACTION WHILE READING:
but then it ended so,

it's just so beautiful.
