Me Before You Book Review

Hello,

Today i bring you my review of the popular novel “Me Before You” from Jojo Moyes.
I read this through my vacations and i got to tell you, this book is big but it reads like a small. Let’s start.

Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.

What Lou doesn’t know is she’s about to lose her job or that knowing what’s coming is what keeps her sane.

Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he’s going to put a stop to that.

What Will doesn’t know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they’re going to change the other for all time.

I wanted to read this book after seeing the trailer, i don’t regret it a single bit.
This is romantic but no to much, there isn’t a love triangle there is just a love story, almost more a life story.

The trailer e very spoilery, but i think that we all expect some sort of ending and then we get something different. But i will leave this to the spoilers part!

If you enjoy a good love story, seeing life from others eyes and grow with the simple book like this, please don’t pass this. I don’t say this very often about romances, especially simple ones, this is the most simple romance i ever read but the fact is i love it.

5 out of 5!

Stay for a detailed review!

A Monster Calls Book Review

Hello!

*Warning, this post was written with a lot of feelings, so please bare with all the pictures*

I finally got my hands on this amazing book! Such a great children/middle grade book. But don’t take this the wrong way, this book is very dark.
The illustrations are the most beautiful thing i ever saw in a book.

The monster showed up after midnight. As they do.

But it isn’t the monster Conor’s been expecting. He’s been expecting the one from his nightmare, the one he’s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming…

This monster is something different, though. Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor.

It wants the truth

We start the book meeting Conor, a boy whose life is different from a boy his age. At 00h07 he meets a monster and he doesn’t believe it, thinking it’s just a dream. But this monster isn’t just a dream. Is a realization of  himself.
I don’t want to say much more because the story is surrender by mystery and it should stay that way.

The story goes from bullying to depression, from understanding our self’s and those around us. While reading this i cried i laugh i felt for Conor. The hype around Patrick Ness might scary you but it’s true. Having the ability to write a book to children with all this themes and at the same time having them understand them is a super power. Even to adults who can’t live with this kind of problems.

This quote was one of many that got stuck in me. The story center around telling to truth to yourself and others, about understanding humans aren’t made of what they think but what they do, given those thoughts.

If you can read this book, if you don’t enjoy this type of books, just give it a try. It’s really dark but an amazing story. I gave it (of course) 5 out of 5!  Next, a small review but with some spoilers.

Did you read this book? Did you enjoy it?
