I'm back again with another review. I know most people struggle with the introductions. They find it quite hard to come up with something different each time. It's totally the same for me. I struggle to come up with different content each time I start a new blog, sometimes I just ramble my way through it, okay most of the time. In this review I will give you a run down of this book and my opinion will come at the end. That's if you stick around that long or you may just skip the blog post and head straight to the opinion part at the end. It has been a very sad week where I'm from. My thoughts go to all the families who have lost their loved ones this week. Again in this review I hope readers of these blogs would give me some sort of feedback, without sounding too repetitive for my readers it will be very much needed as I could improve my posts with that feedback. I will tell you one thing that I'm loving this week is the really sunny weather we are having, so expect more reviews coming soon. I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I enjoyed reading this book. So without further delay this book I'm reviewing is called Disclaimer and it was written by Renee Knight.
I would like to take this opportunity in blog post to welcome any new readers that choose to read this blog post but if you wanted to read more you can find them at laurennpullenreviews.blogspot.co.uk Also to my older readers who are loyal and continue to return to read my posts. Thank you everyone it totally means a lot to me.
This part of my blog post is all about the blurb of the book. You can find most blurbs at the back of each book. But if you are reading a hard back covered book you can find the blurb on the inside of the front cover. For readers that don't understand the word blurb I will define it in another way. The blurb is a small passage describing each book. Now it's time to tell you why I put the blurb into my blog posts. I put the blurb into posts because it describes the book perfectly and the reader can then understand the book better. It saves you from going out and trying to find the book when you can just read the blurb here right now. You can make your judgment about the book right now. It is how most people buy their books is by reading the blurb. It's also how I get addicted/hooked to any book. So here we go here is the blurb of this book: "When an intriguing novel appears on Catherine's bedside table, she curls up and begins to read. But as she turns the pages, she is horrified to realize she is a key character, a main player. This story will reveal her darkest secret. A secret she thought no one else knew... ". Readers. If you prefer to look at a picture and read the blurb for yourself there will be a picture at the end of this passage. Also remember readers if you have read the book and you are reading this review please don't give away any spoilers to those who haven't yet finished the book yet.
This next part of my review is all about the author of each book I read. This time it is all about Renee Knight. By writing about the author in each of my reviews it helps me to have something dedicated to the author. Next time your reading a book, think about the author. Just think about how many hours they lock themselves away in an office away from their loved ones. Just think about the amount of phone calls they have taken, also just think about how many edits, meetings and emails they have answered. But in the end it is definitely all worth it as they have a physical object that they can show and hold for the rest of their lives. They have something to be proud of. Can you imagine if they decided they didn't want to spend all that time away from their families. All of their talent would be wasted and there won't be any amazing books to read. Which would not make us bookworms that happy at all. So here we go, introducing Renee Knight. Renee Knight worked for the BBC directing arts documentaries before beginning her writing career. She has written television and film scripts for the BBC, Channel Four and Capital Films. Her first screenplay, Morher's Day, made it onto the 2010 Brit List of best unproduced scripts of that year. Her first novel, Disclaimer (this book), was published by Transworld in 2015. Renée lives in London UK with her husband and their two children.
The time has come to deliver my opinion on this book. New book, clean slate in other words I was keeping my mind open and not about to compare it to any other book I had previously read. When I first saw this book I picked it instantly and read the back to discover that the book was going to be like the film Inception. But instead it was a book inside a book not a dream inside a dream. Once I finally got to reading the book it gripped me and I was completely hooked about the many secrets that was hiding inside this book. I found myself not putting the book and shutting out what was happening around me. I totally lost all track of time while I was reading this book. But there was a this one time where I had to stop reading for a couple of days as things for pretty busy and I didn't have enough time in the day to read as often as I've would of wanted. When I returned to the book, the book wasn't the same it was like it has lost its spark. I got confused more easily I ended up re reading many sentences. Also I couldn't keep track of whose part I was reading so I had to keep on referring to the beginning of each chapter and sometimes that didn't help. So maybe a thing to improve on, make it more clearer to the reader whose point of view the chapter belongs to. So maybe add a small subtitle at the beginning of them. But I stick the book out as I can never leave a book unfinished especially a crime fiction book. So as soon as the plot thickend I got back into the story and it revealed the many twists and turns that I was not expecting and the book needed them so much. It definitely made me turn the pages so much faster resulting in me me finishing the book within the next three days. Like I said earlier I wasn't expecting the twists and turns so the ending of this book totally blew my mind, don't worry I won't give it away. But wow, I wasn't expecting it too be turned around just like that. I also wish that the last chapter was a tiny bit different. In the end it was a crime fiction book that I throughly enjoyed reading. But if you are a older reader and thinking about sharing it make sure you share it with more older members of your family as there are many strong scenes in the book and very strong language within the book. Renee this book was a awesome book and I can't wait to see and read what you come up with next!!
I would like to give this book a 8/10. I would also like to recommend this book to anyone who loves a really good crime fiction book and you are over the age of 18. Like I said before you can find all my other blog posts at laurennpullennreviews.blogspot.co.uk where you can follow me or leave your recommendations for me. Thank you again, for your continued support. It totally means the world to me. I hope you return the next time I upload my next review!
Until my next book review x
