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 GiffinHe's Not That Into You gives us food for thought, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is a guilty little pleasure.

Wide Sargasso Sea

1 review

Bought it at my local Chapters. I was intrigued by the cover actually a blue stylized wavy front page with the title strewn across in large font. The blurb on the back explains that it is actually a sort of prequel to Jane Eyre, the colonial masterpiece. So i bought it. And I...

I LOVED this book as a kid! We owned it, but my teacher also had it at school, so she would read it to us and we would all say the words back. Just loved it

The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

3 reviews

The biggest problem people have with this book is that they take everything too literally. There have been many suggestions Kondo has made that I wouldn't do, like thank my clothes, but I still understand the reasoning behind it, like respecting yourself by taking care of your...

1 review

If you've played Bioshock and your favourite part were the audio diaries, you're going to enjoy this book. Find out even more about your favourite characters, their motivations and how and why they ended up in Rapture. The writing isn't the best I've ever read, but good enough...

1 review

This is the saga of the rock group Guns N Roses written by Stephen Davis containing photos of the group. Very interesting I found.
Courtesan's Lover by Gabrielle Kimm

1 review

I really didn't enjoy this book. This was another novel that I wished was over before long, and there was just so much not to like about it. The characters were confusing. Too many people were introduced too quickly, and with Francesca's relationship with them they were all...
Horror Story and Other Horror Stories by Robert Boyczuk

1 review

I was disappointed with the stories I read in this collection. There were some stories that were good, some that had potential, and others that were either boring or confusing. Confusion was something I felt often when reading some of these stories, and I feel like it may have...
Madame Serpent: A Catherine de' Medici Novel by Jean Plaidy

1 review

This book had a terrible start and an annoying plot, making me wish it was over when I first began reading it. I have no intention on finishing the series, and though I won't find out about the revenge taken on Diane, I won't consider it much of a loss regardless of my...
The Clockwork Scarab: A Stoker & Holmes Novel (#1) by Colleen Gleason

1 review

This was just as disappointing as I expected it to be. I gave it a chance because I expected to be at least interested in the disappearance of young girls, but it was more about two stubborn girls who tried to be more than they were and somehow succeeded. From the very first...
The White Forest by Adam McOmber

1 review

I wish this book was well written because I may have enjoyed it more. The story could've been interesting enough, when it wasn't confusing and annoying, and the setting was well established in the very beginning, but there was way too much information released at once and it...
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

1 review

I tried hard to have patience for this novel, but in the end once I stopped putting effort into reading it I found it hard to get back to it. I had hoped to enjoy the satire but it fell flat for me so all that was left was the ever so polite dialogue and the final point where...
Catacomb (#3) by Madeleine Roux

1 review

What a mood change. This book didn't fit with the general feel of the previous two books of the series even though it still had some spook factor and it felt so out of place. There was also a lot that was confusing and felt poorly constructed, explained, and tied up. Even less...
Longbourn by Jo Baker

1 review

I can't believe this novel was so highly rated. I felt like the writing was terrible, the main character was so whiny and spiteful, and there were way too many pointless sections. In regards to the pointless sections, there were many mini scenes that I felt were so pointless -...
