CKD (37 KP) rated Scarlet Feather in Books

Dec 7, 2018

As with all the other Maeve Binchy books I've read, I loved this one too! 12 chapters...one for each month of the year in which the book takes place. Great story between Tom and Cathy, two catering school buddies who decide to open up their own catering business. There are side stories about the other characters in the book and they all intertwine. Maeve Binchy is a wonderful storyteller and this book did not disappoint. There was a time when I didn't think I would finish it before I had to return it to the library...I did renew it once! LOL!

The third book in Simon Scarrow's Arena series of e-book exclusives, this (like the previous two) only consists of 9 chapters and so is a pretty short read.

Unlike the last entry, however, Macro plays more of a role in this story, which is set in and around the running of a lanista (Gladiator 'school') rather than in an Arena. Again, the culmination of the novel is a fight between two Gladiators: this time, though, they are fighting in the grounds of the lanista (one for survival, the other to escape) rather than in the Arena for the amusement of the mob ...

I love this book so much. I remember it freaked me out when I was younger and it still provides some nice chills.

So, Rose (full name: Rosecleer) is a normal high school student until she starts having dreams that feature Nancy, a girl she barely knew but provided comfort to when it was really needed.

Several red herrings pop up as Rose tries to figure out why she is having these visions and also keeps herself from being run out of town when Nancy is discovered dead and several more girls disappear.

This is a typical american teen flick where a girl as a crush and hasn't kissed a boy before. Trouble is there is lots of errors such as drinking is not legal in the US until they are 21 and they are obviously teenagers but lots of alcohol fuelled parties. The boy is question was supposed to be several years older than the girl and yet they were in the same class at school and your mother was ill in hospital for several years and yet she had a younger brother. Some hunks for teenage girls to ogle over.

Basic!

This is a story of a young girl struggling to adjust to her new life, new school, new family, out if the blue the two step sisters are made to spend the day together where they don't stick to the plan and go off for a small adventure with some friends but end up scuba diving where things go from bad to worse, a few jumpy bits I didn't expect. The story line it's self was really good I did however think the sharks didn't look all that real, on the whole it was a good watch.

A rare insight

I have always liked Mike Harding and this book gives a real insight not just into his childhood but also life in Manchester in the years that followed the second world war. Reading this made me laugh at the real life incidents but also made me ashamed and embarassed about what was happening under the publics nose. I look forward to the next book as this only covers up until he left school and started working for the road department. A good read and well worth the time :)
