Book Review: According to YES

Hey,

  Welcome back to another review of mine. I thought as it is the festive season I would deliver another review too you guys. The readers. A few questions about Christmas, Do you celebrate Christmas where you live? How do you like to celebrate your Christmas? Last but not least, Have you finished your Christmas shopping? It's hard to believe that some people actually leave all their shopping till Christmas Eve! If you wish to actually answer some of the questions. Leave your answers in the comment box below. Anyway back to the review. This review is all about According to Yes by the great Dawn French!

  To get the new readers into my blog even more. This is the part of my blog where I put the blurb from the back of the book into my review. The word blurb is just another way of mentioning the passage on the back of the book. Also to all the new readers thank you for choosing my blog to read. I hope you enjoy the blogs that I upload in the future as well. So too stop me from rambling on here, here is the blurb of the book. "The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy, otherwise known as Manhattan's Upper East Side, has its own rigid code of behaviour. It's a code strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family. "This is Glenn Wilder-Bingham's Kingdom. A beautifully displayed, impeccably edited fortress of restraint. So when Rosie Kitto, an eccentric thirty-eight-year-old primary school teacher from England, bounces into their lives with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises she hasn't read the rule book." "For the Wilder-Bingham family, whose lives begin to unravel thread by thread, the consequences are explosive. Because after a lifetime of saying no, what happens when everyone starts saying...yes?" So what do you think? But if you have already read this book. Please don't give any spoilers to anybody. Here is a picture of the back cover if you wish to look at that, as I wanted to add more pictures into my blog. 

  The next part of my blog is the part that most readers of my blog don't read. They just skip it. What I'm talking about is that this paragraph is all about the author who wrote the book. People should appreciate this part more. My mind instantly thinks about the author, who spent so many hours over a computer or even handwriting their notes, hoping for the best possible outcome. So if you do skip this part just think about them the next time you do it. The author of this book is none other than Dawn French. Here is some information on Dawn. Dawn French was born in Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales. She was educated at the independent St Dunstan's Abbey School which is now part of Plymouth College. Dawn French is an English actress, writer, and comedian best known for starring in and writing for the comedy sketch show Fench and Saunders and for playing the lead role as Geraldine Granger in the sitcom The Vicar of Dibley. Dawn French has been nominated for seven British Academy Television Awards she has also won a BAFTA Fellowship with Jennifer Saunders. 

  Now it's time to give my opinion about the book. But it is always the same, where do I start... I throughly enjoyed this book. From the moment I picked it up and I started to read it, I knew it was going to be great. I enjoyed the length of each chapter. The chapters weren't too long therefore I didn't lose my attention whilst reading the book. I hardly put the book down. As I got too the bottom of each I instantly began to wonder what was going to happen next. Sometimes I could even imagine reading the book in Dawn French's voice. All you need sometimes is a book that makes you laugh out loud it definitely makes you feel better. This book is perfect for that. Dawn French is such a great writer, I can't wait to read some more of her books if they are all like this one. The only thing I would change about the book without giving it away would be if all the answers came out before the book ended. 

  I would give this book a 8/10 for being a overall well written book. I would recommend this book to older readers that are 18 and above as there are some parts of the book that are not suitable for younger readers.

Book Review: Die Again

Hey, 

  Soooo it's just been over a month since my last book review. I apologise for that as I also said that I would try to upload more book reviews than twice a month. Anyway December is always a busy month for most people. Family to see and gifts to buy. I'm glad to be back writing my book reviews, as I have just finished this great book. One last thing, how are you, my lovely readers? So this book review is all about Die Again written by Tess Gerritsen. 

  I would just like to say welcome to new readers and thank you for choosing my blog to read. This is the part of my blog where I let you, the reader read more of the background of the story. The next part of this blog will be taken from the blurb. One question I would like to ask, Would you the reader, like more pictures of the book? Here you go the blurb, "Six years ago, a group of travellers set off on an African Safari. Only one woman returned. The only woman to have seen the killer's face. "In Boston, Detective Jane Rizzoli and Forensic Pathologist Maura Isles are investigating a bizarre murder. When another victim is discovered, it is clear that this murderer has been at work for years- and not just locally." "Has the 'safari killer' resurfaced in Boston? There is one survivor who can help Rizzoli. But only if she can convince her to face death once again...." So what do you think? Remember there are no spoilers, so if you have already read the book don't give it away to other readers. 

  The next part of my blog is where I introduce the great author of this well written book, to you my lovely readers. Most people don't even think about the authors or even the amount of time it takes to actually write a book. I bet most people think that this part of my blog is the boring and they skip straight to the opinion part of my blog. I will now dedicate this certain part of my blog to each author. So here we go here is a bit about the author. Bestselling author Tess Gerritsen is also a physician, and she brings to her novels her first- hand knowledge of emergency and autopsy rooms. Her thrillers starring homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles inspired the hit TV series Rizzoli & Isles. But Tess's interests span far more than medicine and crime. As an anthropology student at Stanford University, she catalogued centuries-old human remains, and she continues to travel the world, driven by her fascination with ancient cultures and bizarre natural phenomena. She lives with her husband in Maine. 

  Where do I start with this book. I never judge a book by its cover but I think that's a good place to start. What grabbed my attention was the sad look on the girl and the dark silhouette standing beside her. It definitely sends a shiver down my spine. I was hooked from the very beginning of the book. I could hardly put the book down. It kept me wanting more at the end of each page. The book is definitely full of suspense to keep your mind jogging. It is a crime fiction readers dream. If I could of had the chance to read the book in one straight day I would have done it. I have to say the book was structured very well it didn't give anything away even with all the clues we had throughout the book. When I came to the end of the book I didn't want it too end. I had wished I read it slower. Can't wait to read the next Tess Gerritsen book. Excellent job on Die Again. 

  I would give this book a 9/10. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good crime fiction novel or just loves to read in general and who are 18 and over.
