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.

Watership Down
Watership Down is an absolute must-read! It's one of my favorite novels of all time and is now available in a 40th Anniversary edition. It is an allegorical tale of a warren of rabbits who have to flee their home because their country domain is being destroyed by modern man and...

This series is amazing! Lots of action and romance. A really good read if you want a change of pace.

Embrace
Wow doesn't even come close to how great this book is, not to mention that this is book one of a series. From the time I started reading I got sucked in and couldn't stop. Every time I ended a chapter I had to just get one more in before putting it down, which was very hard to...

How to Raise the Perfect Dog - by Cesar Millan
This book is an absolute must if you're thinking about getting a puppy in the future! I recommend reading this before you ever adopt one so that you'll be prepared. It's meant for puppy owners, not adult dogs although some of the techniques and guidelines it gives would help...

Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
This is a fabulous book written by Eckhart Tolle! Very empowering! It's also very straightforward and easy to understand. A friend gave me this book while I was going through a rough time. She said it inspired her so much that she wanted to pass it on. She has since picked up...

Battle Royale
This is a Manga series which may sound very familiar to you these days as it has a lot of similarities to the Hunger Games. (Battle Royale came first) Firstly, if you've never read Manga before, be prepared to be confused at first. The book is read from back to front and from...

Abarat
There are three books so far in the Abarat series which is written and illustrated by Clive Barker. It's a fantasy story aimed at young adults unlike a lot of Barker's work. The story takes place on the Abarat which is a archipelago consisting of 25 islands. One island for each...

The Host by Stephanie Meyer
I was really excited to read this book because I love the Twilight series. It's definitely very different from the vampier/werewolf love, so you have to get your head wrapped around a totally different, and sci-fi frame of mind.

Stephen King's The Stand
In my opinion this is one of Stephen Kings best novels every! A made for television mini series was made back in 1994 from the book, but I still say it wasn’t near as good as the book is. I feel that way about most movie’s that have bin made from books. I just don’t think...

The Black Donnelly's Must Die
My mother in-law gave me this book to read and loved it as much as she does; she treasures it almost like it’s a part of her own family history. The Donnelley Must Die gives you a full account of the Donnelly family from the time they arrived in Canada from Ireland in 1840...

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
I enjoyed the first season of True Blood, but the book series is so much more involved. I fell in love with the easy beach-read style of writing and the interesting characters that appear. Not a masterpiece work of art, but such an enjoyable read, and much better story arc then...

Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller
This was a fantastic book that exposed a lot of the misconceptions that the world has about Christians and the hypocrisies that Christians often portray in society. I was blown away by Donald Miller's style of writing and I was hooked on this book until the very end. I am...

Black and Blue Sari
I read this book for class, the title interested me. As I read it I was so interested in it. The writer of the book had actually came and did a speech at my school. This woman was very inspiring. A brief review about the book is that a young girl is forced to get married to a...

The Last Dog on the Hill by Steve Duno
I wanted to read this book ever since I worked on the article for books that are coming out this summer. I love dogs so it was a no brainer that I would enjoy books about them. This book talks about the life of two brothers, a man and his dog Lou. Lou was exceptional and it...

Wandering Wenda by Margaret Atwood
I purchased this book for my brother to read to my niece and nephew and for them to enjoy as they grow older. The reasons that I chose this book are because the story is almost totally comprised of words that start with a "W". This makes the book, when read aloud, like a giant...
