Books Reviews
Curling up with a good book is a favourite year-round pursuit: in front of a blazing fire in January, in the park under a warm May sun, in a hammock lake-side in July or with coffee on the back porch overlooking brilliant fall foliage.
ChickAdvisor members love light reads like the wildly popular Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella or the more introspective romances of Emily Giffin. He's Not That Into You gives us food for thought, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is a guilty little pleasure.

As a memoir, it was a good read to see into King's life. There wasn't as much on the craft as I would've liked, but his life as the writer and aspiring author, as well as his life as the prolific writer that he is, was interesting to read. The memories shared were poignant and...

I didn't enjoy this book, but the ending itself deserved a star added on. Perhaps I'm used to the way horror is done nowadays, but even then I can't really stand it when a character spends a lot time telling me how much something affected them and how horrible it was. The story...

This book had a terrible start and I thought I was never going to get through it. Even though it did take me longer than usual to plow through, it did prove to be a sensational read and I enjoyed myself thoroughly with the overdramatic narration. I often got confused with who...

This was much better than I expected. It was a nice peek into WWI through the eyes of a child and the best part was that it didn't dumb down any important aspects. While children wouldn't get everything that this novel manages to show about life in England during that time, as...

The Italian had the typical Gothic horror feel so there wasn't anything disappointing in that regard however I did wish I had a better sense of where things were heading as the plot progressed. It went on quite a bit longer than I felt it should've but at least it mostly kept me...

I was disappointed with this book, and also this series, because of the way things went with the plot and how it ended - and none of it was because of the writing. It was well written, but I felt cheated more than I felt disappointed with how things turned out. It's one thing...

I can see why many people respect Hobb as a great writer. I really see the skills many other writers try to drill into new authors' heads wonderfully exemplified here and everything fit so well. It kept me going when things were constantly getting heated and nothing was getting...

I did not enjoy reading this book but the descriptions and characters kept me going. It was definitely a tough start - I found it very boring - and I really didn't care much for anything about the story, but the descriptions of the things they came across in their journey were...

I decided to try this book out because it was something I had heard about but didn't really know much about. I was expecting a bit more of an adventure, but once I got past the detached narration I was able to cheer for the main characters and follow along without dragging my...

I was hoping for a different story about the female pope, and even though I didn't get what I wanted it was still an interesting read. I didn't enjoy myself too much, though, especially when I knew what was going to happen to Joan once her story ended, but it wasn't a painful...

This book would've gotten a higher rating for the writing if it weren't for the main character. I enjoyed the setting and how everything was described, but Eastern Jewel was a woman with little to be respected for. Despite how unfortunate her life was, I couldn't help but feel...

This was a good end to a good series. We saw Kel all the way through her trials, and now we got to see how she handled herself as an adult and as a knight after all her trials. Her title and the series' title, the Protector of the Small, finally makes sense here, although it...

This was yet another enjoyable book in the Protector of the Small series. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book, but it was still a good read and it wasn't boring at any point in the story. I won't talk about the world and the characters because I've already discussed that...

My first experience of this story was through "The Madman's Daughter", a retelling of the story. I think I would've appreciated that story more had I read this first since I found myself being reminded of it often through the names and plot points in the original;...

I think every one teenager should have a copy of this book. With the way society is, it is nice to have some positive feedback for teenagers from teenagers. Teenagers need to look at life half full not half empty.

This book is intense, I can't put it down. Highly recommend it to any mystery fans out there.

This book is absolutely wonderful and heartbreaking, but most importantly eye-opening. Remini has such an important story to tell, and it's frightening to me that all of the things she's written could happen to one person. It's shocking how restrictive the cult of Scientology...

Sharp Objects is an eerie book about a young reporter who goes back home to write an article about the recent murder of a young girl. Gillian Flynn also wrote Gone Girl, which is another dark and twisted novel. If you like these types of novels check this one out. It's a...

Currently I am on book 19 in this series. They are hilarious. Some of them aren't even worth reading, but that's how it goes with a lengthy series. Stephanie Plum has two love interests Morelli and Ranger. I love Ranger, hes my absolute favorite character and the reason why I...
