The Day of the Triffids

This book is renowned for it terrifying picture of the world without sight. Where the genetically engineered triffids roam the earth killing people and waiting for them to disintegrate so they can eat then. Although I do agree it was quite a good book I think I may have become a bit too inured to violence. I could see how this world could be bad I didn't get entirely drawn into the plot. It was just kind of depressing. Especially some of the scenes when people gave up on their lives completely. Though this is a stunningly accurate portryal of how people are likely to react, throwing aside the idea that humans are resilient and revealing the truth of how reliant we as a race are on our vision.

I would still recommend you read it just to form your own viewpoint.

Memoirs of a Geisha -

A very striking fictional story (actually at first I thought it was a true story.. all that about the person interviewing her made me believe it was.. sure am gullible). Even so, it shows an interesting perspective of the world. Through her struggles and mistakes, the strength Sayuri shows towards reaching her dream, and of course the antagonist who continuously tries to make her entire life miserable; and how realistic it all is (see, I really believed it was real..) well, it was a really nice book to read. Definitely influential, and does raise a few questions to the reader, especially about our own lives.

There is also a movie, never watched it but after reading this book, I might try and find it - may be interesting. Wonder if it'd be okay, as most novels made into movies that I know end up skipping a bit toooo much detail or alters the story too much for my liking

I suppose it's a bit of a girlish book and despite how detailed she describes every single event... even some of the ones you might not really want to know about.. it's a great book nevertheless =)

Note: If you ever ask me what a geisha is.. I still have no idea how to clearly define one after reading the book.........

By the way, I'm a little confused about whether or not we're supposed to return this book, or hold onto it until the next book club meeting. The timing leads me to think that it might get overdue and that.. would not be good ><

Are you there god?its me margaret!

Knife Edge

This is the second book in the Noughts and Crosses trilogy. Its about Sephy and her child Callie Rose, who is also Callums daughter. This is mainly about Jude trying to get back up the ranks of the Liberation Malitia, and kills his rich Cross girlfriend to steal her money to do so. He gets out of this trouble with some help from a person he hates with all his guts because he believes Callum died because of her. Sephy.

This isnt that good a post because i forgot some of it because ive started reading the final book and its another must read.

This is another good book by Malorie Blackman. I rate it a 8/10 because it isn't as exciting.

Noughts and Crosses

Hey guys. This is my first ever blog because i just joined. If you need more details tell me so i no for future references.

Noughts and Crosses is the first book of a trilogy. This book is about black people (Crosses) ruling over white people (noughts) just like way back in America but reversed. Persephone Hadley is born into this society with a powerful father and a drinking mother. She befriends a young nought called Callum Ryan McGregor while they were young, due to her mother being Callums mothers employer. They start a close relationship even though the society is the way it is and grow up together.

This book is kinda like one of those books that open your eyes to see the world a different way. I reccomend reading the trilogy and if possible, get the special edition of Noughts and Crosses because it has a special part called An Eye For An Eye which is REALLY great.

I give it a 10/10. 

The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time - Mark Haddon

Hi everyone,

I just finished reading The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time again (just to refresh my memory) and boy is it great!

A very absorbing, perceptive and original book in my opinion, well written in first person. Also has a lot of choicy swear words!

Christopher Boone is a 15 year old living in England. He has 'aspergers syndrome' a form of autism. He enjoys maths, playing minesweeper and spending time with his rat Toby.

One day, he finds his neighbour's dog dead (stabbed with a garden fork). Christopher is intrigued and decides to investigate, against the wishes of his father. What he soon discovers is the secret of his mother, and his childhood!!! Will he ever be able to trust anyone again?

Read and find out!!! A great murder/mystery novel.

8/10 from me!!!
