  • Schmusekatze auf Beutefang

    Schmusekatze auf Beutefang

    by Louise Bagshawe
    • Rated 3 stars

    “a typical modern cinderella - lovestory. (ugly girl turns into beautiful & confident girl)

    it's a nice timepass, when u r looking for something "light" to read.
    (guess once in a while you need to read such books to relax a bit and let ur mind relax ;)”

  • The Immigrant
    • Rated 1 stars

    “although it started very well and promising, the story goes to nowhere and ends quite abrupt and in nowhere's land.
    Some parts were nice.
    But i have to say that i really hated some parts of the book. Dont read it.
    It is a waste of time!”

  • To Kill a Mockingbird
    • Rated 5 stars

    “i loved this book, especially the tomboy character "Scout".
    I would give this book 6 stars if here provided. Such a wonderful story with a lot of lessons for life. The best thing is that the story is written for grown-ups but from the view of a little girl. lovable !

    This will be one of my favourite books for life for sure ! ”

  • The Cairo Diary
    • Rated 3 stars

    “it's story within a story, so there are 2 parallel theards and each of them are equally exciting. it's well written, i read the book within days, coz i couldnt wait to know what would happen next.
    The only minus of this book is that the end seems to be written in rush. i really didnt like the abrupt end with surprise factor. the other thing is that there is no real end to 2nd story in the book. otherwise i would have given 4 stars.”

  • Anna Karenina
    • Rated 2 stars

    “It's a very long novel, actually it cloud be counted as 3 or 4 books ;)
    well i really liked 1st & 2nd part. but the 3rd & 4th part were so slow and boring.
    from the 5th part on it gets better and better til the end.

    honestly i didnt like main character Anna Karenina, so maybe thats why i ended up not liking the book, altough the first 200pages (1st part) was really nice to read.
    still i liked the writing style, you learn a lot of the russian culture. ”

  • The Glass Palace
    • Rated 5 stars

    “a great book ! i love it !
    i learnt so much through this book about Burma, India & Malayasia and history.
    Amitav Ghosh is an amazing writter, the research work, he must have done to write this book is mind blowing.

    The story is about 3 generations of a family & their friends. The charcaters are presented so lively, that I still believe that these persons really existed (even though i have read the book 1 year ago).

    One of my favourites! A must read!”

    “it tells about a teenage girl, who struggles to find a own identy, growing up as an algerian second generation kid of immigrants in france and later in algeria.
    she is anne ici (anne hier) and selima la-bas (selima there).
    Anne is her French name, she is anne in her school, with her friends, generally in France.
    Selima is her Algerian name, she is selima with her family and in Algeria.
