So let me start this blog post by apologising for the lack of posts over the last couple of months. I'm not going to blame it on a lot of things, just a couple instead. HA!! The first thing, I've been really busy therefore writing a blog post has been going further down my 'to do list' every time I get something new to do. The other thing is, I haven't been well recently I thought my health is more important than writing these posts. But I'm all better now. YAY!! Anyway, How are all of you? I heard all exams have now finished, How did you think they all went? If you celebrate the end of your exams with a ball/prom. Have a really good night because if you don't then you might be wishing you could do it all over again. I know I say this every time I write a blog post. So here we go again PLEASE can you at least write a couple of sentences of your feedback. It would be very much appreciated because it then means that I can improve my blog posts for your reading therefore the quality will also be so much better than before. You can leave your thoughts in the comment section below. Back to the book, this review is about Contagion. But I'm guessing you already know that by reading the title of this post. Contagion was written by Teri Terry.
At this point in my blog posts I like to welcome all the new readers to this blog post. Thank you for choosing to read this post or if you clicked a link that got you here thank you again. Once you have finished reading this post and you enjoy reading it. You can find the rest of my blog posts at laurennpullennreviews.blogspot.co.uk To all my other readers who continue to show up here every time I upload a new post, your continued support means the world to me again, thank you! I said thank you so many times then.
It's now time to talk about the blurb of the book. The blurb is a short paragraph that perfectly describes the book. You can find most blurbs at the back cover of each book you read. But when you are reading a hard back book you can find the blurb on the inside of the front cover. Or if you want the proper term you can find it inside of dust jacket in the front. But some authors also call their blurb the synopsis which means exactly the same thing. Here comes the reason why I put the blurb into my blog posts. I put the blurb into my posts because like I said earlier in this section it describes the book perfectly. Also by putting the blurb here right now you can make your judgement on whether or not you would like to read this book. By putting the blurb into my posts its saves you from going out and trying find the book and then reading the blurb when you can do it right now. It's okay to be a bit lazy from time to time. So without further delay here is that blurb:
"Callie is missing. Her brother Kai is losing hope of ever seeing her again. Then he meets Shay, a girl who saw Callie the day she disappeared, and his hope is reignited. Their search leads them to the heart of a terrifying epidemic that is raging through the country. Can Kai and Shay escape death and find Callie?"
But if you would prefer to read the blurb in a different format as some people take more in by looking at pictures you find a picture of the blurb at the end of this section. Also remember if you have finished reading this book don't forget some people haven't. So please don't give anything away, spoilers aren't wanted around here.
This next part is all about the author of each book I review. This section is all Teri Terry. I feel so much better having something dedicated to each author I have a review on. Especially when the authors have spent so many hours away from their families, friends and pets by being shut away in an office answering endless amounts of emails and phone calls they would of had to answer. Just think about how many meetings they have to do with their book publishing teams just to form a book. That's not all, they then have to promote their books like there is no tomorrow as they want the best possible outcome for their book. But in the end it will be definitely worth all that time away from their families as they have something they can show off to everybody and for the many years to come. The book itself can then go on to win the author many awards. That can progress into a movie making the book very successful. That's definitely something to be proud of. I'm not going to ramble on anymore so here is a bit about the author you might like to read it or not it's up to you:
Teri Terry is the bestselling author of the Slated Trilogy and the novels Mind Games, Dangerous Games and Book of Lies. Her books have been translated into twelve languages and won prizes at home and abroad. Teri hates broccoli, loves cats, and has finally worked out what she wants to do when she grows up.
This next part of my post is all about my opinion of the book. First of all if you haven't read any other of Teri Terry's books go and do that first because they are all really amazing books but if I were you I would start with the Slated Trilogy. Now where do I begin with this book. I mean I've had the date of release for this book in my calendar for ages as I had big expectations as I have read all of her other books and I loved everyone of them. Once I started to read this book it didn't instantly grab my attention like all the others. So I did some re-reading, by doing that I took it in all the more. I was now ready to begin my next adventure. I couldn't put the book down from that moment onwards. My eyes couldn't go as fast as I wanted them to go. I wanted to get to the next page as quick as possible so I could carry on the story. I loved how the book was divided into different sections which made it more easier for the reader to understand the storyline and to keep track on what the characters were up to in each part. Speaking of the characters they were written really well and as the story progressed with each turn of the page they became more loveable each time, I hope they get a happy ending they deserve. Before i forget to tell you this book is also a trilogy series. So you won't be able to know their fate until another two books time. This book had me hooked completely. Also this book was packed to the brim with suspense to keep you on your toes and you don't get the answers to that suspense in this book. I loved reading this book so much so, people were telling me that you will be sorry once it is over. But I never listen and I a little regret once I had finished it. Plus if you love books with cliffhangers this is the book for you! Overall, I have nothing really bad to say about this book and Teri I can't wait for the next instalment of this series and for the many more you are about to write. *HIGH FIVE* Teri Terry!!
I'm going to give this book a 10/10, I'm also going to recommend this book to anyone that is 16 and over and just loves a really good book. Like I said before you can find all of my other blog posts at laurennpullennreviews.blogspot.co.uk You can comment or even give me a follow to stay updated every time I upload a new post. Thank you again and I hope you return the next time I upload.
Until my next book review x
