I received this book for free in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

This review is a little difficult for me to write, because Chewy Noh and The Fall of the Mu-dang is one of those books you have a love/hate relationship with. Obviously, I am leaning towards love (hence the four coffee cups) and would recommend this book to anyone and everyone regardless of age. If you are looking for a light, humorous read that will bring out the inner child in you, this is the book to read.

The Writing: If I had to compare Tim Learn’s writing style I’d compare it with that of R. L. Stine—and as someone who is a huge fan of Mr. Stine that is a huge compliment coming from me. I think the biggest problem Continue reading “Review: Chewy Noh And The Fall Of The Mu-Dang by Tim Learn” →

 I really want to give this book good ratings because there were so many parts that were brilliantly written. Katie Li is a talented writer, one I would definitely want to read more from, and while her debut novel Somewhere In Between is a beautiful story that will transport you away from the real world, it has several issues which are preventing me from putting this particular on my best-reads list.

The Writing: Katie Li’s writing is very simple and yet has a sort of charm to it that will  draw you in. Her descriptions of the surroundings—both in the real world and in the in-between place—is so lifelike that you cannot help but feel like you are actually there, Continue reading “Review: Somewhere In Between By Katie Li” →

Before I start my review…

OMG WARNER!!!

Review: Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi (Shatter Me #1.5)

Oookay now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s move on to the actual review, shall we?

When I read Shatter Me, I knew that Tahereh Mafi was a brilliant writer, but I never knew exactly how talented she actually is until I read Destroy Me—a novella from the perspective of Warner, a ruthless powerful young man of questionable sanity. And while this book did meet all of my expectations, there were still many things that Continue reading “Review: Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi (Shatter Me #1.5)” →

Despite the five coffee cups, this is not a book I would recommend to everyone because of the following reasons–

1) This is a depressing book, seeing as how our protagonist is a psychologically unstable teenager who had suffered years of verbal and physical abuse from everyone around her, including her parents.
