Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2091 KP) rated Henry and Ribsy (Henry, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Another kids book. Henry wants to go fishing with his father, but he has to keep his dog Ribsy out of trouble so he can go. Wonderful characters and very real to life situations, just funnier. The chapter "Ramona and the P.T.A." still kills me.

I hope the paying public get a better copy than I did to review. Far to many errors in grammar and in plot and this could have been such a good book. Very disappointed. Got to chapter 15 before I couldn't take anymore and had to abandon it. I'd be happy to re-read this book if i'm give an edited copy to read.

Has a very good ending that I was not expecting
Contains spoilers, click to show
From reading this book, I found this book to be a very good read. This was one of them books where I didnt want to put it down and was hoping it was going to have a good ending which it very much did to me. So many emotions went through me when reading this book. I felt so sad for Sal and the situation that they was in.
I reccomend this book to everyone

Loved this book
I loved this book. It was such a good read. It kept me gripped from page 1. There was a few stories going on but they were all connected. There wasn't really anything I didn't like except it took me a few lines of each chapter to realise which person that chapter related to.
It sounded like a book I would normally read and enjoy and it exceeded the blurb.
I really got to understand the characters and their different traits and personalities. I really started to feel for Soul and the book made me really feel.
The book explained why Soul did these things and I really understood but at the same time I wanted to say to her that she is all these people.
If there a sequel I would definitely read this but I don't see how there could be another book with Soul as the genre would have to change. There are more books in regards to the 2nd main character. The police lady.

Cori June (3033 KP) rated The Bone Witch (The Bone Witch, #1) in Books

This book is written in two parts, the before and after. We are introduced during the after. It is in italics told from first person p.o.v. by an exiled bard. It is usually one to two pages sometimes more, it is at the beginning or end of each chapter usually letting people know what the next chapter is about. The before is told in first person p.o.v. by Tea (the main character) as a story to the bard. It is about how she became a bone witch and what a bone witch is also hints to why she was exiled.
Now there is a lot of description in the book about who dresses in which hua and what people look like and how they act and what they do.
If you want an action pacted fast paced book: This is not that book.
This book is what I would call a builder book. Its whole purpose is to build the story for the next book. it builds the world it is set in and helps you understand the characters motivations. A beautiful book, however, it can get draggy in the narrative. something that Tea does comment on in the after part of the book.

I love my kindle - it's my second after I dropped and smashed my first one - I have a whole wall of books in my lounge and couldn't possibly fit another book on there so now I read on my kindle and no longer have to take over another wall for books. I like how you can download a sample of a book I'm unsure about. Some books are free, some can be borrowed then returned once read and the rest are cheaper than a standard book. I like how it tells me what % I am through the book and how much longer each chapter is so I can gauge wether I have time to get another chapter in quick! Couldn't be without it now!

Be sure to read through to chapter 5. It may seem so hard and not great but if you make it that far you will fall into and read the entire book in one sitting. The characters are strong and wonderful. I absolutely love the creatures in the book. They were probably the greatest part of the book. Fantastic beasts would be proud to be known along with this one. I am excited to see what will happen in the next books.

This is one of those books that start slow and slowly builds pulling you in a little more each chapter. Some don’t like slow books but if you give it the chance it’s an excellent series. This first book was great and each book in her series gets better and better. I couldn’t put them down and I’ve re read this series a few times now while waiting for the next book to come out.
