Scratches Of A Girl

Wonder by R.J. Palacio My rating: 5 of 5 stars August (Auggie) is a years old boy who was born with facial deformity and had to go through dozens of surgeries to save his life Auggie never went to regular school - he was homeschooled- but his parents decided that it's time for him to be enlisted in one because it would be best for his education, also they want him to make friends Ofcourse being a new kid at a new school is ain't easy specially if you were Auggie. He's trying to show his school friends that he's just like them, with an extraordinary facial appearances. I really enjoyed reading this book; it was one of my anticipated reads for 2017 (but I read it in Jan 2018), it's really insightfull and heartworming. I liked that it was told from a kid POV because you get to see how he truely feels and what he's thinking of. I liked the other chapters where other charactrs got to share their thoughts and relationships with August and how it started (Also the...

Zarox by Louis Smith My rating: 5 of 5 stars I received a copy of the e-book for an exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are mine. ‘No matter how great the battle or how devastating, keep an open mind. The power within will be the saviour,’” I went into this book not Knowing much because that’s what I like when attempting to read any book, it’s my way for trying to be honest about my reviews also it’s more fun that way. ANYWAYS Zarox is a middle grade fantasy novel about a group of 4 kids (Parker, Riley, Lucy and Callum) who were kidnapped by the evil glothers into a parallel world after they’ve gathered in their school playground at night (Riley’s dare). “It would be awesomely freaky if instead of going to hang in the Churn Zone now, we came here during the night-time,” Riley then said. Then, they met this creature Tralop who saves their lives and helps them escape from the glothers. Rotlier Rum, the Tralop, acknowledged them that their being there was no...

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book drained me. It's emotional, heartbreaking and so realistic. You could swear that these are no longer fictional characters that Khaled Housseini had carved from his imagination but they are real people that had experienced each and every single thing and endured the human cruelty. I have to speak a little bit about the female characters in this book who are one of the BEST representation I've ever seen in a fiction book. They portray the Afghan woman so truthfully and beautifully. The Afghan woman is a symbol of endurance, love, friendship, courage, beauty and everything that a woman is supposed to be they carry mountains over their shoulders and they never whimper. I think of HER as an example of every and each woman around the world; capable, caring, passionate, tolerant, forgiving, giving, and most of all a WOMAN. I had each and every feeling while reading this book; feelings of love, rage ...

Review by Rim  DON'T READ THIS REVIEW IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE FIRST 2 BOOKS This is the third diamond of this series and it's the BOMB in the whole entire series. It's told through out the present and the past so we get bits of how Callie Rose was brought up and what really happened to her to turn on her mother Sephy and what Jude may have done to cause that tention to start, grow and spread. This book is told through different voices alike "Sephy, Callie Rose, Jude, Meggie (Callum's mum), Jasmine (Sephy's mum)" which was great for the reader to get different view points on all what was going on by having different encounters of the stories and the events alike.  I also liked how Callie Rose character was introduced and we get to follow her along childhood which really helped in pinning the turning point for her as the main character in this book and figuering where the damage (S) were done. Also Sephy's character ha...
