I Need An Umbrella!

This week I had been reading the book, "The Rain" by Virginia Bergin. The book itself is based upon survival when there is poisonous water in the skies. It is centred around a girl called Ruby Morris who lives a life of partying and not caring much apart from the love interest Caspar McCloud. To be upfront, I didn't like her. The fact that she was always assuming that her friends are alive and her mobile is more important than her or her families survival is extremely selfish. Seriously, who would think that your friends are still alive after they have been touched by poisonous rain? I don't think so. The fact that realisation finally kicked into her later in the novel was probably the best event throughout the whole story.

Genre: Survival, Thriller, Dystopian
Publisher: Macmillan children's books
Year Of Publish: 2014
Pages: 384

The book itself. What's the forecast for today?

So, what is my general view of the whole book? What do I rate it? Should I plan to get the next instalment, "The Storm" next year? Or is it something that is not worth anybody as well as my time? Here is my critique: Never in my dreams am i going to buy its sequel, even if i were paid to. It felt more like a chore than to read in my own free time because i want to. Before i go on any further with this moaning i must say i give the whole book a 2 stars. That's probably quite generous! Please, for yourselves if you value your lives and reading routine don't pick this up! In fact avoid this writer entirely, trust me it's for you're own good.

The point that i'm trying to make is that well, Ruby is rude to everyone who seems to care about her and try and keep her safe. But she just shoves it back in their face. Well, nice stereotyping Ms Bergin! You know not every teenager acts this way. I know i certainly don't, it's just manners.

This below is what is meant to be the trailer for this book. I hope i don't torture you too much...

I think that is enough of a rant for this week. I'm probably boring your socks off already. Now it's your turn to make a judgment. I hope that you will be able to agree!

So what do you think? Have you read it yet? I want to hear from YOU! I'm now signing off and you'll hear from me next week!

Blog Tour: The Beast Hunters Dark Sovereign by Christer Lende

REVIEW So we are back in the world of the Beast Hunters for a sophomore instalment where we see Ara, Khendric and Topper back on another adventure. But this time with a difference. Instead of the world building from the previous book, we get to delve into a mystery with darkness starting to make pace in the background. We meet new characters, some good and some not so much. Not only do we have the overarching themes of beasts but also political intrigue and secretive plots. It is far more intricate than the previous instalment where the characters are making decisive and confident choices. Especially for our fave apprentice, Ara. If you want to get away from the current world affairs, this book will serve as an escape from reality. What these last two books do remind me of however, is a tv show. Why I say this is because it felt kind of episodic but they both have reinvented themselves with different themes. I found this to be quite good actually. This is because it feels l...

The Crown by Kiera Cass

It is sad you know? Seeing this all coming to an end. However, if you think about it, it won't be a complete end until i read the 'Happily Ever After' book, which has some small novellas that focus on the series. Although, i do feel that i don't really want to read it just yet as it means that it would have officially ended then for me, after all of these years. If you had been with me from the very start, my first post was actually a review of the first three books of the series. Everything seems to have changed drastically since then. If i am being totally honest, when first laying my eyes of the final cover of the selection series, may have been a little bit judgemental. Not only because of the fact that i felt, not only is it very predictable, but it would have been nice to have colours that symbolise both femminity as well as leadership. Which when looking at this at first, it makes me think of 'primary' colours that everyone uses for girls, when...
