I got this book because it was apart of the Amazon 100 reads for under £2.99 deals and the cover drew me in (as well as the price). Reading the blurb I knew that I had to read this so I downloaded it and you know what? It was one of the best books that I have read so far of the year, that good I managed to read it in about 8 hours.

It has you gripped from the first chapter - wanting to know what happens each chapter and what the main character is going to do. Also going inside the mind of the killer and finding out the reasons why he is doing what he is doing added to the suspense and made you realise that in turn there is some truth behind his reasoning.

Each chapter is nice and short so you can read them quicker (which is something i prefer in books - I am not fond of 50 paged chapters) and each chapter provides something more exciting than the previous chapter. As I neared the end of the book I did wonder if the killer would be caught or would we be waiting for the next book to be caught, fortunately you are not made to wait and you find out retribution is made.

This is one book that I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in thrillers and fast paced books as there is a lot of suspense, gruesomeness and darkness in this book. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel out next year and will definitely be looking out for the authors next book which is due in August.

So I purchased this book because I work with the guy who wrote it and have to admit I thought it was witty and comical. you cannot help but fall in love with the dim witted dai watkins in his search for true love (and porn). Each page has moments that ake you laugh, smile and cringe and a happy ending. It is also a quick read for anyone who doesnt have much time to read and would recommend to anyone who wants something funny to read (as well as anybody who is welsh)

So I know I'm behind again, and I have a list of reviews that I need to do but once again work has gone hectic. They have me moving around all these different offices now and to be honest it's bloody annoying, but I want to be a made a permanent so I am making sure I just do whatever they say and try and show that I am willing to do anything to keep my job.

I have added some Hunger Games icons so go and check them out, and I have added a new layout, this one based on one of my favourite shows - Bones. I just love Booth and Brennan and so happy that in this season they are finally together - YAY!

In terms of reading, I have just finished Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris - which I loved, and was definitely not expecting the ending that came. I found the third one to this series and read it so now I am making the way through the rest of the series. I have just finished the first and have made a start on the second, which I am hoping to have finished by the end of next week. Then I can make a start on the other 500 books that I seem to have but have never read.

Anyway I am currently watching Lois and Clark (old school I know) and want to continue reading so I will try and make some more updates to the website soon and I promise that I will be adding more reviews to the website soon.

So I have decided to turn the website into a graphics/book reviews website. This is because I am a huge fan of reading and would like to share my thoughts about the books that I am currently reading. I will also be adding reviews to books that I have read in the past in hope that some of you will be interested enough in reading them as well.

I have given the website a new design based on the book Starters by Lissa Price, which if you look at the review, I highly recommend as it is a fantastic quick paced gripping read that I am sure you will love.

I am always looking to add other graphics/book related websites so if you have one then please feel free to contact me and I will be sure to add you to the affiliates page

So Lissa Price, author of Starters (see post below) replied to the email that I sent her =)


Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the nice review.

My biggest inspirations have involved films like Memento and Inception and Matrix. I love stories that deal with different layers of reality.

In terms of books, I was very inspired by THE HUNGER GAMES by Collins and the UGLIES series by Westerfeld. The HG is such great storytelling and Uglies, although an entirely different style, is such fun with wonderful twists.

Thanks so much for the support!

Best,
Lissa


You are very welcome for the support Lissa, you well and truly deserve it. I will try and get my hands on UGLIES and post a review when I get around to reading it.
