  • The Host
    • Rated 4 stars

    “The story is extremely eccentric. Stephenie writes in a way that grabs all your attention easily turning an 800-pages novel to a page turner. She creates new world where impossible emotional situations could occur. and tackles the problems in the most interesting way. If you are tired of the usual realistic romance stories, Stephenie is the one for you.”

  • Breaking Dawn
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Meyer shocks again.
    The first three books in this saga held every element we loved in a good novel: love, fantasy and mystery. Her smart plots a perfect braid of love, adventure and a variety of lovable characters that draws us more to her enchanting world.
    Breaking Dawn was not the same as the other three books where she kept implying the impossibility of what will shock us by happening at the fourth book. Everything I regretted secretly or didn’t have courage to hope for actually happened!
    Meyer even went too far with some chapters, converting to a sick gothic style and some disgusting events, just to deliver one of the happily-ever-after elements. But I won’t complain. The term happy-ending is an underestimation of how amazingly satisfying Meyer wrapped up her saga.
    ”

  • Howl's Moving Castle
    • Rated 5 stars

    “I absolutely loved it. It’s my new favorite. Diana created such a lovely world with really nice and real characters. And with the little help of Miyazaki’s movie I would really like to live in such world forever.”

  • Companions of the Night
    • Rated 4 stars

    “I marvel at the similarity between the vampire theory in this book and in the Twilight saga. But not to complain. I can’t get enough of the pale gorgeous over-confident vampires.”

  • PS, I Love You
    • Rated 3 stars

    “The novel follows the story of Holly after she lost her husband because of a brain tumor. It is a light-hearted story about grief and how to find hope again. This book made me cry. But mostly it’s really funny. I like how Cecelia fills her stories with strongly present and real characters and how they lighten up the general atmosphere of her novels.”

  • The Book Thief
    • Rated 4 stars

    “A touching story of humanity told by death itself. It is about a little German girl Lesiel who finds her way through the war by stealing and reading books. Zusak is a very amazing writer who manages to mix humor, mystery and sadness.”

  • Coraline
    • Rated 4 stars

    “A refreshingly creepy novel. It's the adventure of the little girl Coraline who discovers the passageway from her flat to an alternative world where she has another mother and other father. The other mother insist disturbingly on keeping Coraline as a daughter. Which first tempts Coraline as the other mother is capable of making very delicious meals and gives Coraline special attention. But then Coraline decides otherwise as it appears that the other mother, with buttons instead of eyes and hair twisting like snakes, is nothing but a bug eating monster. Now, Coraline has to make a plan, with the help of the black cat, to find her real parents and get rid of the other mother forever.”

  • Beauty
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Originality of the story preserved as McKinley retells it. Funny how she made Beauty gradually accepts and then falls in love with the Beast that it was a little bit difficult to accept him as a human. Good job.”

  • Outlander
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Regardless of the slow and rough start of this book -took me two months to get trough first five chapters- events started to pick up speed gradually. When I reached half of the book it became harder to put it down. Great plot with amazing twists. Characters are fascinatingly real. As in real life, a guy like Jamie teases you and makes you angry but in the end you find yourself deeply in love with him or at least relating to Claire's feelings towards him.
    When I read into this book I found that it is not as long as I thought it would be and hoped that it'll keep going on.”
