Reviews with 3 stars
Listed below you will find all of the books that I have awarded with 3 stars. A 3 star rating shows that I thought the book was pretty middle-of-the-road, but that I can see that while it wasn't exactly to my taste others might still enjoy it.
Book Review | Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
I have to admit that I was dreading reading this novel — but I was pleasantly surprised! It’s in no way old and stuffy and full of hard to read language as some classics are, in fact if you didn’t know the author you could quite easily mistake it for a modern day story (in an olden day setting obviously!).
Book Review | The Moon in Deep Winter by Lee Polevoi
The Moon in Deep Winter by Lee Polevoi is a strange and harrowing tale of a young man trying to keep his family from imploding.
Book Review | Coraline by Neil Gaiman (Graphic Novel)
Coraline is about… A young girl who goes exploring in her apartment and opens a door to another world where her ‘other mother’ tries to kidnap her and her parents.
I’ve heard fantastic things about this book over recent months and thought it would be a good opportunity for me to experience my first graphic novel – but I think it will unfortunately be my last. I just didn’t get it.
Book Review | Anne of Windy Willows by L.M. Montgomery
I think that as a stand-alone ‘chronicles’ this book should be appreciated – but for a reader who yearns for tales of Anne and her loved ones it left me wanting.
Book Review | The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
The book is well written and gives an insight into how people with this Syndrome think and react to the wider world.
