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.

Battle Royale

Adult fans of the Hunger Games should be aware of this predecessor to the series, which follows Japanese freshmen chosen to compete in a 'Battle Royale' against one another on a secluded island. Beware younger readers, this is a much more graphic and violent book than The Hunger...

Bonsoir, Le premier film m'a donné envie de connaitre l'intégralité de l'histoire originale. Et après la lecture des trois tomes je ne suis pas déçu. Super livre, super écriture, super histoire, super personnages, super rebondissements. Les détails supplémentaires...
The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice

My older sister had these novels and I would see her curled up on the bed or on the couch with her nose deep into the book. An avid reader I am, my teenage world was introduced to vampires and I became obsessed. I then understood my sister's reading obsession with these...

A wonderfully written and amazingly visual masterpiece! "Pretty Girls" takes your mind on a ride that makes you realize that even when you think you know someone ... you truly may not know them in the least - even if that someone is your husband. At the beginning, I was a little...

This book rocks. We have a well behaved Rotti and he were having an issue with him marking spots after we moved. This book helped us rid him of this behavior quick time.
Watership Down

This book has never stopped being one of my favorites. It was a story I loved as a small girl, and one I can stay interested in on a different level today. This is right up there with Moby Dick. A must read!

Another great book that I have read and could not put down till the very end. I was excited when the movie came out which did a fantastic job. Elizabeth Gilbert should be proud. This book is a must read for you gals out there.
The Litigators by John Grisham

I am kind of disappointed about this book. When I read the book, about 1/3 of it, I knew already what kind of ending I would expect for this book. Not as interesting and as exciting as compare to any other of his work.

I was watching an interview that Pharrel Williams did with Oprah and he said this was one of his faves. So I bought it. I have to its one of mine as well. I leant it to my best friend and she's in love with it to. I fear I might have to wrestler her to get it back. It's not...

One of the best books ive ever read. It starts off a little slow but once you get into it you cant put it down. The theme of the book relates very much to modern day society
The Wind Through the Keyhole

1 review

In my eyes, Stephen King can really not do wrong with any story however, I have to say, to continue an epic journey to a series that took over 20 years to compile, and publish, the man deserves extra kudos. Serving as Dark Tower VIII, this book is actually written to fit in...

If you love bread, please read it. If you gmhatr bread, please read it. If you absolutely adore croissants, please read it and be educated. I love bread and almost anything associated with wheat, but ever since reading this book, I think twice before I take a bite.

Wow doesn't even come close to how great this book is, not to mention that this is book one of a series. From the time I started reading I got sucked in and couldn't stop. Every time I ended a chapter I had to just get one more in before putting it down, which was very hard to...

I read this book for class, the title interested me. As I read it I was so interested in it. The writer of the book had actually came and did a speech at my school. This woman was very inspiring. A brief review about the book is that a young girl is forced to get married to a...

The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger

A great book! Most times books are far better than movies because they can give so much more detail than a time constrained movie. A glimpse into a fast-paced and exciting industry to so many would love to be a part of.

This is a fabulous book written by Eckhart Tolle! Very empowering! It's also very straightforward and easy to understand. A friend gave me this book while I was going through a rough time. She said it inspired her so much that she wanted to pass it on. She has since picked up...
