Review; Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle


I haven't really read  a book like this before, but this style of novel has really taken my fancy! The story follows three different characters, and each characters story is written by a different author. Eventually you find out that all theses characters are connected in different ways and all re-unite at the end. When one character was mentioned I found myself going "Oh my gosh! I know them! I read their story!" Then I realised "Of course I have read their story. They know I have read their story. That's the point". #conversations with myself
Anyway, this is a really nice, sweet Christmas story that I didn't put down until i finished it! Thank goodness for school holidays!
I have now discovered that I love books way to much for them to end. Just like Erik Erikson's theory of human development; even if you have led a wonderful life and are happy how you spent it, everyone feels despair at death, either because it's a sad ending or because they don't want their happy life to end. I have found that all these books I have been reading recently are too good, and I don't want them to end. Even if their is a sad ending.
Sorry if I rambled a little bit there.. it made sense to me, so I was wondering if it made sense to anyone else?

Anyway, make sure to pick this book up and read it, you will not be disappointed!

Review; "The Fault in our Stars" by John Green



Last Thursday night I began reading “The Fault in our Stars”, by Saturday night I had finished. In less than 48 hours, I had read one of the most beautiful, eye opening books I have  ever read. I have read about Cancer, and have known people tackling the disease, but this book puts things into a different perspective. I put off reading this book for a couple of months, as I knew it had a sad ending, and didn't want to cry. But crying is worth it! And the end was completely different to how I expected. I decided to read it as the movie comes out in a couple of weeks and I wanted to read the book before I watched the movie. I cannot wait until the night I sit with my friends in the theatre, probably crying but definitely enjoying the movie. And I don’t think it is necessarily a “teenage girl” book. Boys and people of different ages will most definitely enjoy it. The Fault in our Stars is definitely a book that needs to be on the top of your reading list!
