There’s Wilberforce… Bathsheba… Elvendork…” “And what’s nice about that one is, you can use it for a boy or a girl,” said the boy in glasses. “Oh, OUR names, did you mean?” asked the first, as Anderson spluttered with rage. “You should’ve said! This here is James Potter, and I’m Sirius Black!” I felt so disappointed. The Plot  In this short story, we review Sirius Black and James Potter three years before Harry is born. It is so short that the reader, instead of being clarified about the story, starts raising even more questions. How is it written A really short story, simple and raising questions. Likes  The fact th...

I require so much! This was a book that took me a while to read. It happened because it is an old English, which I am not used to, so I needed a bit more time to understand the whole plot. I read this book a while ago so maybe this won't be the best review I have done so far. Characters   1.  Marianne Dashwood Marianne is the main character. She lives with her family and at a certain point, she falls in love with John Willoughby, which, according to his sister is not suitable for her.  The Plot  ...

Starting a blog is not an easy job. So many things that one could share. I have to admit: choosing a first book to write about was a hard job. However, I decided to start with this one: The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins Published: 15th January 2015 Genre:  mystery, crime, thriller, fiction Edition : Paperback Source : Purchased the book  Pages : 323 My Rating : 3/5  Goodreads : 3.89/5  ...the 8.04 slow train from Ashbury to Euston can test the patience of the most seasoned commuter. The journey is supposed to take fifty-four minutes, but it rarely does: this section of the track is ancient, decrepit, beset with signalling problems and never-ending engineering works. The train crawls along; it judders past warehouses and water towers, bridges and sheds, past modern Victorian houses, their backs turned squarely to the track. My head leaning against the carriage window, I watch theses houses roll past me l...
