Written in an interesting style but didn't seem to have any plot so was easy to get lost in what was actually happening especially as the writing dipped in and out of the past in present tense.

Hard to read as there's nothing to keep you hooked except for a short section in the middle. Predictable and badly written.

I am not a fan of Judy Garland but that wasn't an issue reading this book - it is partly a biography but is also the writer's own memoir. Well written, I found myself drawn to it until I had finished it and by the end felt I really knew something of the author. Would recommend this to anyone who understands what it's like to be obsessed by someone famous, or who wishes to understand these obsessions.

Eat, Pray, Love is a very interesting mix of travel memoir, autobiography and the diary of someone on a spiritual journey. I found the style difficult to get into, particularly with how apologetic the writer comes across, but once I got used to it I didn't find it too off-putting (though there were sections where she digresses so much I wondered the relevancy of them). However, I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in travel (particularly to the countries she visits - Italy, India and Bali, Indonesia) and to those who, like me, have a thirst for general knowledge as Elizabeth Gilbert explains much of what she is experiencing, particularly the meditations, which I found the most positive part of this narrative.

When I started reading this I assumed it was just another adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and I soon found out that it was, but with a twist. The author has almost seemingly pieced together the two storylines involving the main character, Emily. Not only has she met the guy that she simply can't stand and makes many presumptions about, she also meets the real Mr. Darcy and has to choose between the two. While completely predictable I still loved this book and found it a brilliant read.

A novel written in the form of many letters to and from a group of people. This book is for everyone who has a remote interest in people, letters, literature, Guernsey, WWII. It offers a plot where the main character, Juliet, discovers about the life of Elizabeth who founded the Guernsey literary and potato peel society during the occupation as well as becoming entranced by all the members of the society. I promise that anyone who reads this will love it and will become sucked into the world Mary Ann Shaffer creates for us.

I wasn't sure about the style of this book when I began it and I found the changes of styles a little confusing. However, I found it to be very interesting and informative about the conditions on vessels on their way to NY, USA from Ireland. The story is unravelled by revealing the lives of a few select passengers aboard the Star Vessel - each interlinking with another. This is not my usual type of book, and I've never really seen any fiction that presents completely as factual clippings before, but I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the conditions back then, and anyone who wants to understand the human psyche. Unfortunately it didn't have a completely satisfying ending but I don't think that harmed the story particularly. This isn't a book I'd read again but I'm glad I've read it as I feel I've grown from the experience it has given me.

When I picked up this book I was expecting a simple chick lit novel but it turned out to be so much more than that and so much better. I enjoyed reading it, sympathised and empathised with all the characters, and was kept wanting to read more and more throughout. Full of the twists and turns life brings us, this a book I expect I'll be reading again in the future.

This book was so good I read it in a day - it's been a while since I've done that. It's not a genre I normally read but found Evie's voice so intriguing I couldn't put it down and kept turning the page. Can't wait for the next one in this trilogy to be published.

I found this book difficult to read, mainly because I had no empathy with any of the main characters. I feel that the author exaggerated everything to such a point that it became unbelievable. The ending was sudden and unexpected - also, it was incredibly unbelievable. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone unless they are look for very disturbing description of food and fat people.
