This was such a great book!
I view it as my first proper retelling. Noughts And Crosses was technically a retelling of Romeo and Juliet, but compared with Cinder, it didn't have half the cleverness of how Cinder was written.
This was the type of book that I read for hours on end and yet did not become bored or distracted. It was captivating, fully of plot twists and emotional parts, it was very clever and original.
The characters were understandable, although the difference between what Cinder was thinking and what came out of her mouth was frequently frustrating! However, the story was meant to be like this, so it added to tension and made the story more believable.
I would most definitely recommend this book! Such a cool sci-fi. I have never read about a cyborg before! It's new, and I like it. I'm definitely going to read the next book in this series!

I loved this book!
I know that it took me like forever to actually be able to finish it, but that wasn't the book's fault, that was exams' fault.
These books could be slightly better. There could be a little more depth to all of them, a little more characterisation to people and a little more storyline. But, these books had everything that was essential for a good story, and that's what counts.
I loved the characters, how they all had a steady personality and thought process and how they stayed in character all the way through the trilogy.
The end had me crying my eyes out, but it was a satisfying ending - that's all I'm going to say.
I don't think I have ever shipped a fictional couple quite like I have shipped June and Day.
I am sad to see this trilogy end! I want another book!!

Wow.
I went into this book expecting a young adult version of Me Before You, and because of this I was holding off of reading it for a while.
I was so wrong. Although Me Before You and All The Bright Places share themes, they are so so different in style and characters and tone and almost everything.
At the beginning of the book, I found that Finch was easy to understand and that I couldn't quite understand Violet 's thought process, and I thought that this was because the author had their favourite characters etc etc. But halfway through the story, this scenario flipped, and I found Violet easier to understand than Finch. That was when I realised that this was done cleverly for effect.
I don't know what to say about this book. I loved every part until the ending, but it would be unfair to say I didn't like the ending because that ending was perfect for this book. It's just not what I wanted to happen.
It was incredibly well written, and in certain places the book broke my heart. It was so well done, it has to be one of my absolute favourites even if I wished the story had taken a different route.
This is one of the most addictive books I've read in a long time. I'd find myself still reading at ridiculously late hours, my tiredness completely forgotten and just wanting to find out what happened in the next chapter.

Wow. The power of words.

I don't think that anything I can write will do this book justice.
I have never read anything that comes close to the writing level that is consistently upheld throughout The Book Thief. I'm also pretty sure that I will never read anything quite like it in the future.

This book is the story of Liesel Meminger, the Book Thief and the Word Shaker. However, this book is also about a whole lot more than that, too.
It could be classed as historical fiction, because it's set in Nazi Germany, and it teaches the reader a lot about that time period.

The beautiful descriptions in this book were too many to number. This book will make you look at the world in a different way.

It's a long book, and it did take a very long time to read - but that's a good thing because when I finished this book, I realised that I was in no way ready to finish reading.

I would 100% recommend this book to anyone who wants an eye-opening, educational, heartbreaking and heartwarming story that will stay with you forever.

I loved this book.
When it began, it was a little boring. It took a while to get into, and then there was a few chapters where it seemed that not much was happening. but then the second half of the book just took off, excitement and plot twists and drama and intricate storyline and amazing characters all rolled into one and it was perfect.
The ending was such a cliff hanger, I soo want to read the next book now.

This book was great.
I would have loved this book even more if I had read it as a 12 year old, I'm sure.

This story is narrated by Mira, who is 12 years old and hilarious, candid, so relatable. It is written as a diary in present tense.
Mira writes realistically as a 12 year old, yet also deals with deep things. During the course of 1 month, she experiences her Nana's cancer up close, first love, family issues, bullying, and she learns a lot about how to be true to herself.
I hate it when people write a story about children for children and because of that they make it unrealistically simple, with a dim main character who only learns one lesson or whatever by the end of the book. Children are generally underestimated - they're not as stupid as some people make out. Sita Brahmachari accurately brings Mira to life in a way that makes you love her so much.
A brilliant first novel from Brahmachari, I'll be reading more of her work.

Aarghh.
Just how do you write a book with such foreboding (the cover, the title of the next book, the reviews I've heard) and still get your reader to ignore them? well, up until the last 10 pages you know, got to give them some advanced warning at least.
It didn't turn out to be the story I was hoping for. But I did definitely enjoy the start and middle of this book. Wouldn't recommend it to a lot of people, but it was educational in some areas and was funny and sweet and heartbreaking in others. I wanted to see the movie, but now I'm not so sure, I might leave it for a while.

I really liked this. Actual rating would be 4.8, because it didn't quite have the emotion factor like some other books I've read. I mean, I know quite a few authors who would have ended the book just the same, yet would have had me crying my eyes out in those last few chapters. the only thing I felt while reading this was excitement, sometimes frustration.
It was a very good book, very original and exciting, and I liked the different characters. I liked the way the characters had their own flaws, they weren't all perfect.
I would definitely recommend this book.

Okay so I'm not actually sure how many stars to give to this book.
The writing style was beautiful, I loved reading it. it was written in that antique fashion which most classics are, but he didn't even spend much time on describing things which made it so much better. I loved the American accents, even though I couldn't actually hear them I could imagine perfectly how they sounded.
So to be honest it was partly the cover of my edition which kind of put me off reading it for a while (seriously, it looks like a dead man's arm (which maybe it is)). Also I already knew the storyline, and had watched the movie (I know I know, terrible)
But as soon as I started it, it was brilliant. I don't know what it was, probably mainly the dialogue which I loved so much. it was great. for that, I would give it 5 stars.
but then, there's the question of what on earth was actually the purpose of the book?
was it a story about human compassion? was it a story about broken hopes and dreams and no happy endings? was it a story about doing the right thing even when it's hard? I have no idea. it was definitely ironic. it was a great story, apart form there wasn't an obvious point. but not just that, its the way it ended. like, there was no ending, pretty much! it's like John Steinbeck had a tight schedule so he reached his due date and was like "oh well, didn't finish it but let's see if people like the story anyway". I want to know what happened to George! (and Candy, but mostly George).
so for that I knock it down to 4 stars.
Also, I'm amazed the whole story took place in 3 days.
I'm not really sure what to do now I've finished it.

I'm really not quite sure how to rate this book. I've never read anything like it before. It scared me, this book. it was so disturbing. but at the end, I felt like going through it all was worth it for the story. A different, shocking book.
