Books - The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
I think this book was pretty amazing. I mean, yes, it did get annoying when I didnt know whether what the book was talking about was past or present- but then I re-read it and it made a bit more sense.
The story is about a girl named Isabella (a.k.a: Belly) and how she spends her summer in a holiday house with some friends every year. So her mums friend owns this holiday house, and she has 2 sons. Jeremiah and Conrad. Jeremiah is a complete jester- always laughing, joking, goofing around. Conrad on the other hand- he's the more silent type.
So, Belly's had a crush on Conrad like, forever, but none of the boys notice her. That is, until this summer. :)
I'm not gonna say any more. You have to read the book to know what I'm talking about. As a bookworm, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Happy reading! :D

Books - My life and other catastrophes by Rowena Mohr
This book is extremly funny and light- hearted. It is well written and the use of diary entries instead of chapters adds extra fun to reading this book. The use of adjectives is brilliant and the perspective of this teenage girl is absolutly perfect. Great book!

Books - Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
I started off as a twilight hater. Every time someone mentioned Twilight I brought my steel tipped stakes out [Buffy style]. Once I actually took the time to read the books, I quite liked them. Yeah the books are not particularly well written and yeah Bella appears to have lost her brain at times. Yet their romance still has a certain appeal to it. Bella comes across as a more understandable character than in the movies, probably because it’s written from her point of view. Edward Cullen isn’t nearly as annoying as in the movies and hey what do you know, he has a sense of humor! Well sort of a sense of humor… Actually I don’t know why I like it maybe it’s a generational thing [I’m a generation Z not Y]

Books - Out of the Frying Pan by Andrew and Ben Whitehouse
Put your hand up if you have ever felt like you are jumping from the frying pan only to realise you have landed feet first into the fire? I think most of us have been there at some stage as we have grown up and this book puts it down on paper oh so well!
Out of the Frying Pan is a collection of 15 Australian stories that recount the trials and tribulations of growing up. Covering the hilarious, heartbreaking and the tragic, these stories are from real people who reveal that no-one escapes their childhood and adolescence unscathed!
Great read....especially for someone finishing up at high school wondering what now!
You can buy it from bookstores

Books - Obernewtyn by Isobelle Carmody
Rate the book: 20!!!!!!!
Obernewtyn is by far the most gripping book I have read. Isobelle Carmody is a fantastic author, and she really makes you believe in the characters. By the end of the book, I felt as though I had been best friends with the characters all of my life. Obernewtyn is written in such a way that you can imagine yourself there, and you feel the emotions of the characters as if they were your own, and see yourself wherever the characters go. The semi-dark setting of the book adds interest and leaves a longstanding impression on you, more so than a lighter one could.
The main character, Elspeth Gordie, is an orphan of Seditioners, people that oppose the iron rule of the council that controls the land untainted nby the "blacklands". The blacklands are a result of what is referred to as the "Great White", a holocaust that destroyed most of the Earth, making it uninhabitable for anything. Elspeth discovers that she has telepathic powers with the help of a cat named Maruman. If these powers are discovered, she could be sent to work on the councilfarms to treat a deadly poisonous substance called whitestick, burned at stake by the dogmatic and fanatical Herders (religious preist that worship their god, whom they call Lud), or sent to the dreaded Obernewtyn, from whence none return. When a guardian from Obernewtyn is sent to Elspeth's orphanage, she is taken to Obernewtyn and has to say farewell to everybody and everything she has ever known. I would highly recommend this book and its sequels The Farseekers, Ashling, The Keeping Place, The Stone Key, The Sending and The Red Queen to any lover of fantasy.

Rate the book: 6
17 year-old Mia's life is changed forever when a terrible car accident faces her with a difficult choice: to stay or go. The ideas behind this heart-wrenching story are original and inspired. However, this novel felt more like 196 pages of pure sadness which took away from the book.
This is an extremely well written story but one I would not recommend to the faint-hearted.
If you decide to follow Mia on this moving journey, make sure you've got tissues at hand.

Books - The Gimlet Eye (Book Three in Quentaris: Quest of the Lost City) by James Roy
Rate the book: 9/10
Ford Street Publishing, 2009
ISBN: 978-1-87646-77-2
Price: AUD$16.95
The First lot of Quentaris books was a series of shared-world, stand-alone novels for kids, all set in the magical city of Quentaris. They had some recurring characters, but for the most part each book focussed on a new set of main characters. The second series Quentaris: Quest of the Lost City is a little different. The city has been magically uprooted and is now flying through the uncharted rift-maze with the aide of giant sails. And the novels are no longer quite so stand-alone, as they follow the adventures of the same set of characters, most notably — Tab Vidler, the orphan who can enter the minds of animals; her best friends, Philmon and Amelia; Fontagu Wizroth III, actor and scoundrel; Torby, the young boy rescued from the prisons of the rival city, Tolrush; and Captain Verris.
The Gimlet Eye takes things in a new direction, again. The Archon, who has ruled the city since the first set of books, dies. This signals a great change for the city of Quentaris, as the Archon’s spoiled and power-hunger nephew Florian takes charge. He exiles or imprisons many of the people who had previously held key positions in the running of the city, and puts into play is own secret agenda. Under his rule, Quentaris seems set on a course of piracy… unless Tab and her friends can put things right.
James Roy has done exceptionally well at taking characters created by another author and making them his own. This book really hits the mark in terms of characterisation and also delivers an intriguing fast-paced story. My only real reservation is that I found the conclusion a little too speedy and neat. But that certainly didn’t stop me enjoying the book.
The cover, by Les Peterson, is the best so far.

Books - Ice-Cream Man By Jenny Mounfield
Rate the book: 9/10
Ford Street Publishing, 2008
ISBN: 978-1-876462-68-0
Price: AUD$16.95
The cover and the blurb on the back of this book led me to expect a run-of-the-mill teen horror about a murderous ice-cream man. Not that I don’t enjoy a formulaic horror novel every now and then… But what I read this time was an intelligent, character-driven suspense with elements of horror.
Three kids play a silly prank on the driver of an ice-cream van, and then find themselves being stalked by that driver. It’s a tense book — right from the first sentence: “Marty flicked sweat out of his eyes as he hurtled down the path towards the bike compound.” And Mounfield manages to skilfully maintain that tension all the way to the end.
Although the catalyst of the story is the title’s Ice-cream Man, much of the tension and drama is actually derived from the three main characters’ lives. Marty is stuck in a wheelchair with an over-protective mother watching over him. Aaron is trying to deal with his bullying stepbrother and parents who don’t listen. Rick is coping with the recent death of his father and his mother’s subsequent slide into alcoholism. It is these characters and their life-struggles that form the most interesting aspect of the book. Their dealings with the Ice-cream Man, then adds to the tension. I felt myself quickly liking these kids, if not their choices, and wanting then to be able to smooth out their lives.
I did find the resolution to the stalking scenario to be a little predictable. But that did not detract from my enjoyment of the characters’ journeys. All up, this is a strong, tense novel, that’s well worth a read.

Books - Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Rate the book: -2The literary world has been taken by storm by the Young Adult paranormal romance Twilight, by the first time author, Stephenie Meyer. Certainly no one could begrudge Meyer her success – especially for an amateur writer to have this kind of explosive reaction to her books.
But is her fame deserved? Of course this writer can see the attraction – a dark, mysterious Edward Cullen bursts into the seemingly plain Bella Swan’s life, a dazzling Adonis, a hollow shell of a man – no personality, see, so the readers can superimpose their idea of the ‘perfect man’ on him.
Well, alright, let’s look at the male protagonists. Dark, sexy Edward Cullen may seem perfect, but the only character traits we see in him is that he is obsessive and...well, a stalker. Admitting to following Swan and watching her sleep unawares, Swan waves it off as ‘love’, disregarding, of course, the fact that she has only known him for literally 4 days. www.ReachOut.com defines they key symptoms in an ‘abusive relationship’ as possessiveness – definitely shown through Edward’s incessant need to ‘have Bella safe’ and insists he knows ‘what’s best for her’, going so far as to employ his sibling to kidnap her in Chapter 6 of Eclipse – jealousy – obviously in a romance there will be jealousy, but to dismantle her car engine to prevent her from seeing her friend, ‘for her own good’, perhaps is going a little over the mark? – and controlling behaviour, which speaks for itself through the aforementioned examples.
The secondary male protagonist, Jacob Black, is the long-lost friend who is naturally in love with Swan (who isn’t?). One of the only characters in Twilight who actually has a personality, we fall in love with Black all across New Moon, where Edward is mercifully absent for most of the book. But in Eclipse, we see a very dramatic shift in his person, finding Black suddenly becomes...pure evil.
Okay, maybe that’s an overstatement. But for a feminist reading Twilight, I have to be a little nasty. Jacob’s repeated sexual harassments – not to mention going so far as to threaten suicide should she not kiss him...and then, in the middle of this harassment, Bella up and decides she loves him – definitely warrants some concern for the impressionable young teens reading.
Let me see, what is the very basic criteria for a good novel? Plot – I can’t really seem to find one. Oh, wait, got one, right at the end – although does it count if it’s just an excuse for Swan to play the damsel-in-distress yet again? Character development – well, Meyer didn’t intend on publishing, so allowances must be made for that, and the bad writing, and the lack of good morals, messages or symbols...
Looking past all the technicalities, we look at the storyline. Teenage girl moves from one place to a very different setting all together, makes friends and a supernatural being falls in love with her. Wait a minute...this all sounds very familiar. Oh, right, wasn’t this the storyline to the great paranormal romance, Mediator by MEG CABOT?
Never mind. Meyer didn’t intend on publishing, did she? Who cares if the storyline is plagerised, or that the entire story has already been done?
Of course, it’s a romance. Romances have clichés, and you can always see a pattern. The handsome supernatural being falls in love with the female protagonist – it’s been used a lot. So what if none of the characters have a personality? It’s a romance, therefore it’s okay to have clichés. But to have a story completely built on clichés and stereotypes? Suffice to say the line has to be drawn somewhere.
But of course, this is just my own opinion. Stephen King gave his own, shocking the world momentarily before the torrents of angry Twilighters yelled, insulted and threatened one of the best authors of the 20th Century. The same thing also happened with Hamish and Andy, a leading radio show on Fox FM; making a few harmless jokes on the Twilight movie, they were inundated with angry emails and letters, consisting of, and I quote, “mostly suck, crap and idiot.”
All this, and not to mention the attacks on ‘anti-Twilighters’. www.twilightsucks.com, a literary forum dedicated to all things anti-Twilight or –Stephenie Meyer, has an entire topic solely devoted to attacks by extremist Twilight fans. Perhaps not all of them are verified, but to disregard them all for the mere chance that they might not be true? If you look at the amount of broken arms, scratches, bruises and general injuries caused by ‘rabid twilighters’, you have to start wondering when Stephenie Meyer is going to call down her army of ‘fanpires’ and tell them that it’s okay for others not to like Twilight!
But knowing Stephenie Meyer, that’s not happening anytime soon.
