My Review 

Stockholm Diaries, Caroline:

The Foreign Fling Duet 

📚📚📚📚

Despite the slow start, this novel turned out to be an unstoppable page turner. This story begins as a sort of self-discovery, Caroline leaves her long-term boyfriend to pursue her dream of becoming a travel photographer. And then Niklas is thrown into the mix and muddles everything up!

I really enjoyed reading about both Niklas and Caroline and watching how their story unfolded.

 There are a few grammatical errors in this novel which could be fixed with a thorough edit which is why I have given this book a four book rating rather than a five.

Book Review: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

The Book Thief

By Markus Zusak

It is 1939. In Nazi Germany, the country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier - and will become busier still.

By her brother's graveside, Liesel's life is changed forever when she picks up a single object, abandoned in the snow. It is The Gravedigger's Handbook, and this is her first act of book thievery. So begins Liesel's love affair with books and words, and soon she is stealing from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library . . . wherever there are books to be found.

But these are dangerous times, and when Liesel's foster family hides a Jew in their basement, nothing will ever be the same again.

My Review 

The Book Thief

📚📚 

I really wanted to like this book, and I really did try. The writing is flawless, the delivery is brilliant, but and the one thing I found really uncomfortable while reading this book is that death is the narrator. I know that sounds crazy, but I just could not get my head around it and I found it really creepy. 

There was also a lack of  I don't know, tension. There was a sort of tension but it was easily resolved, and there were beautifully written scenes but they did not compel me to carry on reading. I don't like not finishing a book, but I really had a difficult time with this one.
