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: "Paper Towns" by John Green

This book now ties with “An Abundance of Katherine’s’ as my favourite John Green novel. I found I can really relate with the characters, especially Quentin (I often have anxiety attacks, I have to remind myself to be more daring). I also loved the mystery of the story, especially you had to try and solve the mystery with them (I picked the door clue!!). I was so sad at the end, mainly because the book ends but also because so many things are unknown, I am hoping John Green makes a sequel because I need to know what happens! I am now on the hunt for my next John Green book!

Review: "Looking for Alaska" by John Green

I made my mum take me to Big W to by another John Green book. “Looking for Alaska” was the first book I saw, so I quickly went to the checkout and bought it. I couldn’t put it down!! It took me just over 24 hours to read it, it is that good!! I had heard nothing about what this book was about, so events definitely shocked me. And even though it was sad, I LOVED IT!! I highly recommend this book, although there are some mature scenes, so maybe if you’re over 16? I feel that because I read it so quickly, the story ended to quick, so I will definitely be re-reading this one again soon!

Review: "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green

After reading the Fault in our Stars, I decided John Green is a brilliant author.  I asked my mum to go down to the book shop whilst I was at work to buy any John Green book she could find. “An Abundance of Katherine’s” is the one she chose. I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant at first as people had told me they didn’t like this book, or found it hard to get into. It was the opposite for me! I loved the storyline, the characters and how the story progressed. I thought Green did an excellent job at depicting what life is like for some people. I also enjoyed the fact that there were footnotes, as I think it added more to the story. Every time I saw a superscript (word^x) I got very excited! I am very excited to read more from John Green!

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!
