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.

Remebering Whitney by Cissy Houston

1 review

This book was a little tough to get through. The book focuses mostly on Whitney Houston's mom, Cissy and less on their mother-daughter relationship. There's a lot of tragic events way before Whitney was born. I felt Cissy wasn't really that close with her daughter. It seemed...

This book can be found at garage sales for a very good price around my area. My sister actually picked it up for $1. The book is of descent quality. I felt at the beginning it took me some time to get familiar with the writers writing style, however, my the end I could not...

The Confession by John Grisham

1 review

For the certain part of the book at the beginning, there's some area which made me sort of lost interest. But then towards the middle of the book and onwards, it has definitely kept my interest and at one point, I just want to keep on reading it until I finished the next few...

The Two Income Trap

1 review

This is a great book! You have to buy it. It really delves into why the middle class is suffering in North America (specifically the US) based on real data and not opinion. Whether or not you agree with the conclusions makes it a very interactive book - and an easy read!

Seeing Red

1 review

How do they get away with charging $20 for a very short story? Seems absolutely ridiculous to me. I wonder how rich Robert Munsch is that he can keep coming up with these pointless stories that deal with stupid children. Such as Seeing Red. There's only one boy in all of the...
