Books Reviews

Curling up with a good book is a favourite year-round pursuit: in front of a blazing fire in January, in the park under a warm May sun, in a hammock lake-side in July or with coffee on the back porch overlooking brilliant fall foliage.

ChickAdvisor members love light reads like the wildly popular Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella or the more introspective romances of Emily Giffin.  He's Not That Into You gives us food for thought, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is a guilty little pleasure.

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
This is one of those fun, summer reads that's great to bring to the beach or the pool. If you sit down on a Saturday morning with it you'll probably be able to finish it by Sunday! It's a funny, light-hearted read.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
The writing is very basic and the plot is terrible. No character development and the lead female is a terrible role model for women of all ages.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Honestly, don't judge this book by the movie. It's a solid book with an original plot line. Suzanne's writing is nice to read. A great book to take to the beach if you haven't already read it.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
This is definitely an interesting read, and a worthwhile book to pick up at some point in your life. The story is engaging and complex, and the characters are well-developed. It's not your average romance, that's for sure! It's very well-written, but some passages are a little...

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
One of the best books i've ever read! This story is incredibly engaging and detailed, and really gives you a sense of another life. The imagery in these pages will take your breath away. Truly an amazing story.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
I love this book. if only it would have been longer. It was very well written. Lots of suspense, action, depth and magic. I would recommend this book.

Fifty Shades of Grey
This book peaked my interest. I wasn't impressed and found it to be very repetitive. Book one was the only good read (if you want to call it that) out of all three. Went fast down hill for me.

Go Ask Alice by Anonymous
Go Ask Alice is one of the most memorable books I've ever read. It had a huge impact on me and I related to 'Alice' instantly. A must read for any teen going through a tough time!

The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls
Amazing book! In fact I love all of this author's books. I had read this book years ago, and although I don't usually reread books, I bought this book a SECOND time and read it again because it was a great read and not extremely long. This memoir is full of adventure and it's...

Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen
A very interesting and easy read about life in the circus during the depression! I got fully immersed in the characters. Great story jumps from present to past and back again. I have not seen the movie yet, so I cannot compare it to that.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Fantastic read! I love this book so much. It's been several years since I read it, but I recently saw the movie adaptation and it brought back so many fond memories, I will definitely be re-reading this in the next little while! It's a breathtaking story about a boy trapped on a...

Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin
Poorly written and horrible main female character. She lacks a back-bone and is willing to do anything to be with someone. I picked this book up after someone suggested it was a good summer read, and I can not understand why Emily Griffin is so popular. Her writing is full of...

I have had my kobo touch e-reader for almost a year and a half. I love it so much. It is so easy to use, I have thousands of books to chose from and it goes everywhere with me. I love that my battery lasts almost a month and when I took it on vacation to the Dominican Republic...

The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger
I got this book a few years ago and I read the book before I saw the movie. In my opinion I believe the book was much better then the movie. I found the book a more entertaining read. Although Meryl Streep is such a great actor it was the only good point about the movie. .
