The 5th Wave Book Review

I started this book back in February, but I got sidetracked by other things. I finally was able to finish reading . From what I remember, the story was not that interesting (maybe that is why I paused on reading? 🤔). It only got interesting until the middle to end of the book. There were some parts that I found interesting and funny to read about. For example, the relationship between Evan and Cassie. 🥰 But there were some things that I was little confused on: Silencers; they are human, but they are not? I looked it up online and it said that they are enhanced, so if you read the book and can explain in a way that I can understand comment down below. I do not know if I would recommend it. It would depend if you like science fiction or books that are dystopian. 4★stars

Sharp Objects Book Review

The book was really boring. The hype was a let down for me. Also, I felt bad for Camille and Amma The book was very disturbing, the stuff that kids were doing was just wow. The book was oversexualized, like thirteen years old were doing sexually stuff that I did not feel comfortable reading about. This book by Gillian Flynn was not my cup of tea. It also took a long time to get to the mystery. I would not recommend reading this book. 3 stars.

The Poet X Book Review

The Poet X was a powerful and emotional book that made me feel things. To be honest, I only read this book because my best friend fangirl about it and fall in love with it. Now, that I read it, I can understand why this is her favorite book by Elizabeth Acevedo. The poems in the book were powerful enough to make me relate to Xiomara. She is a fifteen year old girl who gets blamed for everything: for fighting, for defending her twin brother, for “making” him cry (even though she was only comforting him), questioning the world around her, and lastly her f*cking body. If guys touch or catcall her, it’s her fault for leading them into temptation, which I think is just so sexist for young girls to be taught that: it’s their/body fault for guys catcalling them (which is bull). Reading I felt soooo frustrated for Xiomara because no matter what she did, she kept getting blamed, her only escape was her poems, which she was not even allowed to do by her own religious mother (who i didn’t like AT ALL). Most of her troubles was with her mother, who was just too old-fashioned and religious. While reading what her mother was doing and blaming, I just kept thinking that if parents keep doing this to their kids, they are going to end up hating you (the parents) and surprise surprise, X hated her mother for doing a unforgivable thing. Also, her sorry excuse of a twin brother NEVER defend her against their mother. When the mother was blaming her for making him cry, when she was only comforting him, he stayed quiet. Being a bystander is just as bad. I would recommend reading this book, it’s really powerful. Elizabeth Acevedo is an excellent poet, I felt every line in the poem, it made me sympathize with the main character. 5★stars

The Giver Book Review

Years ago I saw the movie when it came out, however I did not know that the movie was based on a book. When I find out, I did not feel like reading the book cause the description of the book sounds boring to me, i don’t know…🤷🏾‍♀️😅. Anyway, The Giver was an interesting read, I really enjoy reading it! I’m glad that I finally decided to read it! I started the book yesterday; I was not expecting to finish the book so quickly. The Giver was really interesting that I wanted to keep reading on to find out more. I would recommend this book to anyone. I would also recommend the movie too. 5 stars 🙂
