The One Where there are 6 mini reviews in one post : More Mini Book Reviews

I hate myself for being forgetful procrastinator, I started writing reviews for these novels but like an idiot I didn’t finish them so we are sticking to mini reviews.

1. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness – 5/5

• This was painful but beautiful, so damn beautiful.
• From the very start you can see the ending coming but that doesn’t shield you from the end.
• The idea is very unique and the monster, though scary was kinda like a ray of hope for our main character.
• This book gave me goosebumps towards the end, I could have never thought that the Truth can be so terrifying.
• I highly, highly recommend it.

2. The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern – 3.5/5

• This book is also pretty different from what I have read before.
• It shows how the death of her father affects the life of a young girl and her mother, as they are uprooted from their old life into a new one.
• This is something that has been done before the unique part about this book was that it had a touch of magic, our MC finds a book which can literally tell her the future, hence the name.
• With that it also had some unpredictable twists and the book was addicting, hard to get into at first but after a point it was difficult to put it down.

3. Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills – 3/5

• Initially I had given this book a 4 stars, since I read during exam period and it provided me with the break I need but pondering back on it after exams I releasing it wasn’t a 4 star read.
• It was a cute book but extremely forgettable, I genuinely remember nothing about the novel other than the friendship that developed between two certain characters which sucks, I wish I remembered more but I don’t.
• It remember it being sweet and fluffy and that’s about it

4. The Wizards of Once by Cressida Cowell – 4/5

• I think this was the first Middle-Grade Novel that I read in a long time and I was surprised by how much I liked it.
• The relationships and the character developments were done extremely well and the story was very easy to follow along.
• The illustrations are marvelous and the story is engaging
• Plus the character names are hilarious, there is one pixie named squeezejoos (adorable) also there is pet spoon (Cuteness overload)
• The cuteness is not the only strong part of the novel, the writing style is also very nice and immersive.
• If you are looking for a MG series, I definitely recommend this.

5. The Lost Girl by R.L. Stine -3/5

• This book had great potential and it was using that potential until the ending which, in my opinion, was pretty anti-climactic.
• This book had everything magic, spookiness, eerie atmosphere, a good story and well-written characters
• This story is engaging, easy to follow and quick to get through
• But the ending, sigh, no.

6. Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian L. Weiss – 3/5

• This is the first non-fiction novel that I have ever read and it was nice, it read like a fiction novel thus it was easier to read.
• It was thought provoking, memorable and well-written (okay so I don’t really know how to review a non-fiction novel, it seems like I have entered a whole new realm)
