Welcome back readers to another one of my book reviews. How is everyone doing? First let me apologise for how long you had to wait for this blog post to be released. I haven't had a lot of time to do some reading as January is a busy month for me. So therefore this review got pushed back and got delayed. Anyway have you read any good books recently? Let me know your recommendations in the comment box below and maybe I will read them some day. For now back to this review, this review is all about: Oh Dear Silvia and it was wrote by Dawn French.
I would just like to take this opportunity to welcome any new readers to my blog posts. Thank you for choosing to read these blog posts! That goes to all my readers. This section is all about the author of the book. Also to get to know them a bit better than you did before. For an instant many people from around the world may not know who Dawn French is, but here in the UK she is definitely known all over the country. So here is that information. If you do not want to read this park, then just go ahead to the next section of this blog post! Dawn French had been making people laugh for thirty years. On purpose. As a writer, comedian and actor, she has appeared in some of this country's (UK) most long-running, cherished and celebrated shows, including French and Saunders, The Comic Strip presents..., Murder Most Horrid, The Vicar of Dibley, Jam And Jerusalam, Lark Rise to Candleford and more recently, Roger and Val Have Just Got In. Her number-one bestselling memoir, Dear Fatty, was published to critical acclaim in 2008. A Tiny Bit Marvellous, her first novel, was a great success, going straight to number one and selling over half a million copies. This book, Oh Dear Silvia is her second novel.
I have to say this next section is one of my fave parts to have in my blog posts. This section is all about the story. This is the part where I take the background of the book and put it into my blog posts. To make you, the reader the need to go out and buy this book. The part that I'm going to write in this blog post is taken from the back of each book also known as the blurb to other readers. So here we go: "Silvia Shute lies in a hospital bed. Family and friends are at her side, each thinking they know the real Silvia. But do they? For Silvia hides a secret. And her visitors gather, so the truth about her is slowly revealed," See not so much this time. I hate giving away any spoilers to readers. But if you have read this book, remember no spoilers for those that haven't. Some people may prefer to look at a picture of the back of book, so here is that picture:
I hope your enjoying this blog post so far. It is now the time to give my opinion of the book. Once I read the back cover for the first time I knew I had to read it. As I wanted to know what the secret was so badly. But as soon as I picked it up and started to read it I couldn't put it back down again. I got to the end of each page just wondering what was going to happen next. I loved how the book just flowed and you knew which character you were reading about. I really enjoyed the dark and humorous bits of this book. If you know who Dawn French is you may of read the story with her voice in your head. I just love how good a writer Dawn French is. I loved this book so much that I read this book within a week. Another thing about this book is that the size of the chapters are not too long and they are not too short. Which kept my attention for long enough before I got bored. Overall Dawn French another great book and I can't wait to see what you write in the future!!
Overall I would give this book a 9/10. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves a good mystery and over the age of 16.
