It would've been 3 stars if it wasn't for the 'couldn't put it down' quality 😂😂 the story was well done but some areas could've been better. But I thoroughly enjoyed it! And can't wait to move onto the next one!

Mary Shelley wrote this novel, in her teenage years! Very little teenagers now could write something so profound throughout the ages.
I admire how this book was set out, starting with someone unrelated to the story of Victor Frankenstein, then ended with thus. I found this greatly intriguing with the different perspective of the fiend frankenstein created, and felt deep sorrow for the poor creature.
I am very glad I've now read this classic, because it deserves to be read and enjoyed.

KNEW HE WAS HADES SON DAMN RIGHT AHHH ITS GETTING GOOD

My heart aches for Rose when she reads that tape. Because when she hears what he said, she will know that there was no good in him - and if there is a child she will carry the evil within Pinkie. It’s achingly beautiful.

It’s a really clever concept, combining religions and gods for the afterlife. I find that so clever, however the first bit dragged a little for me. It might just be me, I like a bit of action. despite this I did enjoy the funny dialogue from Lana and the build up for the next books. I reckon this would be great read with the other books, I’ll be looking in to reading the rest soon 😊

I am ashamed to say, that I have only recently decided to read this series. I've seen of the films and have been meaning to read them, I just haven't gotten round to buying them. But this lasts no longer!
I absolutely loved this book, Harry Potter is amazing of course! This is enchanting and can capture you within this magical tale.
And plus, Harry potter doesn't need a review to tell you to pick it up if you haven't already. C'mon, it's harry potter

n the second book we begin to gain an insight into Voldermort, as Harry, without realising it, drifts into the memories of his nemesis through an enchanted diary. Harry is not the first person to possess Voldermorts memories however, in fact Ron’s younger sister Ginny, who is in her first year at Hogwarts, has been pouring her heart out into the pages of the diary for months and the diary, disguised as a caring ear to Ginny, has been using her life to become more and more powerful himself. As Voldermort’s power has grown he has used Ginny to unleash a deadly terror upon Hogwarts, an unknown killer that seems untraceable and leaves his victim’s paralyzed by fear.

Reread 2019: dobby forever has my heart

I read this partly for school (which I had to) but partly because i was entranced by the film which made me want to read the original plot for it - because all book to film adaptations lose something. I found myself enjoying this book a little too much, it's by far my favourite classic I've read so far.

NO NO IT CANT END THERE I NEED TO READ THE NEXT BOOK BOY OH BOY

I loved this, since it's a dark take on Snow White and the seven dwarves. I want to know more about the dwarves' past lives as one is already revealed, it has gripped me through every page and I'll hopefully find the second one soon as I need to know so many things!

I particularly liked the different point of views, so some questions didn't go unanswered (eg what happens to characters that split it).

The humour is really quite good, with its use of cuss words along with sarcastic dry humour (mainly from grouchy and snow in his flash backs). To be honest I would love to have a book about snow's life with the dwarves with all the dry humour experienced in said flashbacks.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes dark fiction tied in with fairy tales.

Now onto the next book (if i can find it)

What can I say about this book? It's just utter perfection within 300 pages. It makes you fall in love with the characters and feel what their feeling, I fell in love with Augustus and I'm sure you will too. If you like funny, tear-jerking, easy to relate to books then read this one, you definitely won't regret it.
This has made my favourite book listing and is at the top of that list.
