Wonder - book review

Image
 I literally have nothing else to do other than write book reviews. Honestly, I should have written this a long time ago, but...you know...procrastination... I read this book after watching the movie, but I was actually pretty little then (can't remember, but I was probably seven or eight) so it didn't resonate with me as much. After a friend told me how great it was, I decided to just go ahead and read it because there was nothing else at the bookstore worth my attention, lol.                                                                         Wonder is a book with a simple message; be kind. We probably hear these two words pretty much all the time, but when something is repeated over and over, it loses its meaning. The story is simple at first glance, but when you begin to become more deeply immersed in the book you see the complex, separate little lives of each character. This is one of the things I love about this book. The characters. The POV switching is seamless and

Ember's End - book review

 I figured I might as well get this over with, which is why I'm posting this review the same day as Ember Rising's. The best books are sometimes the hardest to review, especially the ones with heart-stopping twists. It has been a perfectly wonderful ride from the very beginning of The Green Ember, all the way to here. The final book. The fourth, and the last, time I will ever see The End in my mind this way.                                                                                                                     "Now, my dear," Father said. "Tell us a story."                                                                  "A story of bravery?" Heather asked.                                                             "Yes," he said. "A story to make us brave." Yeah, the quote above is from Ember Rising and not this book, but it's the only quote I can think of that isn't majorly spoiler-y. I vividly remember Ju

Ember Rising - book review

 Hey, sorry for the inactivity! I might be even less active during the school year, but honestly, who knows. I'll try to post at least once or twice a month, and I have tons of book reviews to write, because I have nothing else notable to post right now. *makes snoring sounds* Here's my review of Ember Rising. I hope it's worth the wait!                                                                       Who knew a bunch of bunnies could make such an impression? I didn't, until I found The Green Ember. This is the third installment in this not-able-to-explain-with-adjectives series.  Of course, following the cliffhanger of the next book (I guessed who was doing that , did you?) the story begins with Heather's POV. Now this is getting a bit repetitive. The past two books have also started with her point of view. I think I just need more Picket in this. Okay...now, onto story... It is as usual, awesome. At very tense points, I'm pretty sure I was holding my brea
