The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne

No. of pages: 216
Rating: 8/10

Synopsis: This work was set in Berlin, 1942. When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move from their home to a new house far far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he can see in the distance. But, Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than what meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.

Review: The book is written from 9 year old Bruno's point of view as his father, a soldier for "The Fury" moves the family to "Out-With" Camp, a deserted place, where all Bruno knows are that the people on the other side of the fence wear the same pyjamas all the time and he's not allowed to go near them. Bruno knows nothing of the war or the persecution against the Jews and so the book could be perceived as from a naive angle. I actually think it's just pure innocence as his parents make sure to hide everything from him through out the book, but it's pretty easy as the reader to pick up what is happening. I loved Bruno as a character, and thought the friendship between him and Shmuel was very sad, as Bruno was quite oblivious to what was happening to Shmuel, even though commenting himself on how thin and pale he is. It's a very easy read, and although I could see the ending coming, I was shocked it actually played out as it did. I really enjoyed reading it, and now I want to read more about the realities of concentration camps during the war, and so shall be looking into that soon!

Industrial Magic by Kelley Armstrong

Series: Women Of The Otherworld (Book 4)

Synopsis: In the aftermath of her mother’s murder, Paige broke with the elite, ultraconservative American Coven of Witches. Now her goal is to start a new Coven for a new generation. But while Paige pitches her vision to uptight thirty–something witches in business suits, a more urgent matter commands her attention. Someone is murdering the teenage offspring of the underworld’s most influential Cabals—a circle of families that makes the mob look like amateurs. And none is more powerful than the Cortez Cabal, a faction Paige is intimately acquainted with. Lucas Cortez, the rebel son and unwilling heir, is none other than her boyfriend. But love isn’t blind, and Paige has her eyes wide open as she is drawn into a hunt for an unnatural–born killer. Pitted against shamans, demons, and goons, it’s a battle chilling enough to make a wild young woman grow up in a hurry. If she gets the chance.

Review: The second book from Paige's point of view although introducing many more characters which I'm sure will pop up in future books. I found this one a little harder going than Dime Store Magic, though that may have just been on my part as I did throughly enjoy the plot of the book and there was plenty of action. There were a lot more of the "otherworld" types introduced than has previously been, and I enjoyed that, especially Jaime Vegas (the necromancer) and was pleased to see that there's a whole book devoted to her further in the series, that's definately a story I'd like to learn more about, and I was pleased to see the The Pack pop up for a short while. All in all, I'm really enjoying this series and can't wait for the next book in the series to be delivered!

Series: Women Of The Otherworld (Book 3)

Synopsis: Paige Winterbourne was always either too young or too rebellious to succeed her mother as leader of one of the world’s most powerful elite organizations—the American Coven of Witches. Now that she is twenty-three and her mother is dead, the Elders can no longer deny her. But even Paige’s wildest antics can’t hold a candle to those of her new charge—an orphan who is all too willing to use her budding powers for evil...and evil is all too willing to claim her. For this girl is being pursued by a dark faction of the supernatural underworld. They are a vicious group who will do anything to woo the young, malleable, and extremely powerful neophyte, including commit murder—and frame Paige for the crime. It’s an initiation into adulthood, womanhood, and the brutal side of magic that Paige will have to do everything within her power to make sure they both survive.

Review: Yet another great book in the series, I particularly enjoyed delving more into Paige as a person, rather than the childish attitude we saw in the last book. I also enjoyed see the relationships evolve with Lucas and Savannah, and how she evolved as a parental figure. As for the storyline, it was fast paced as with the previous books, and easily readable.

The Tales Of Beedle The Bard by J.K. Rowling

No. of pages: 105
Rating: 6/10
Series: Harry Potter (Short Stories)

Synopsis: A very special book of five fairy tales illustrated by the bard herself, including the enlightening and comprehensive commentary (including extensive footnotes!) by Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, who brings his unique wizard's-eye perspective to the collection. Discovered "among the many papers which Dumbledore left in his will to the Hogwarts Archives," the venerable wizard's ruminations on the Tales allow today's readers to place them in the context of 16th century Muggle society, even allowing that "Beedle was somewhat out of step with his times in preaching a message of brotherly love for Muggles" during the era of witch hunts that would eventually drive the wizarding community into self-imposed exile. In fact, versions of the same stories told in wizarding households would shock many for their uncharitable treatment of their Muggle characters.

Review: I enjoyed reading the tales, but felt they were a tad too short. The explainations by Dumbledore at the end of each tale was longer than the actual tale itself, and in general I felt the whole book was very small. I would have loved to read more tales from Harry Potter's world and it's a shame she didn't include more than 5. Overall I gave this a 3/5 because I was slightly disappointed by the shortness of everything, but other than that, the tales were enjoyable.

Marley & Me by John Grogan

No. of pages: 340
Rating: 10/10

Synopsis: John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they bought home Marley, a wiggly yellow fur ball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into a barrelling, ninety-seven pound steamroller of a Labrador retriever, a dog like no other. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women`s undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewellery. Obedience school did no good – Marley was expelled. And yet Marley`s heart was pure. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behaviour, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley shared the couple`s joy at their first pregnancy, and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. He was there when babies finally arrived and when the screams of a seventeen-year-old stabbing victim pierced the night. The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family in the making and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life.

Review: I absolutely loved this book, it made me laugh out loud in some places with Marley's escapades, and it dearly reminded of Zebbie, our crazy pet black labrador from my teens. It's definately something I would recommend, especially for animal lovers. The story draws you in from the very first page, and you feel all of their ups and downs with them. It was fantastically written and I just couldn't put it down because I had to know what happened next! A very well deserved 5/5 from me for this fantastic book.

About

About Me

So you want to know a little more about me? Well, as it says in the welcome box, my name is Kelly, I'm 26 and I live in a small town in Cornwall, UK. Reading has always been my biggest passion, even when I was a little girl but some of my other interests include: TV shows, movies, music, writing, exploring history, travelling, scrapbooking, taking photographs, cross stitching, baking and spending time with my loved ones.

About Book Sanctuary

I created Book Sanctuary in December 2008, mainly as a resource for myself to note down how I felt about the books I'd read, but now it has grown into something I love to share with others. I have reviewed a little bit of everything over the years, but my favourite books are usually YA or thrillers as they tend to grip me the most, but as with everything in life there are always exceptions. It didn't take me long to think of the name Book Sanctuary, because reading has always been my escape over the years, so it just seemed obvious!

Review Policy

I am more than happy to review on this blog, but I must start by saying, I live in the United Kingdom, if you do not ship here, please do not ask me to review something to then realise down the line you do not ship here. If you do ship to the UK, then read on!

My favourite books are YA, thrillers or anything paranormal. I'm quite open to reviewing almost anything though, so chances are unless I really think I would not like it, I will give it a shot. I am honest in my reviews, whether that be in a positive or negative light, so please bear that in mind. When it comes to ebooks, I only accept books in Kindle format. I will try and get your book reviewed in a timely manner, but it may take up to 1-2 months depending on what I have going on. If we set a specific date, I will do my utmost to have it ready for that day. My reviews are always cross posted to Goodreads, and if you ask me to put it on to Amazon as well I have no problem in doing that. If the absolute worst happens and I do not gel with your book, I will email you to let you know, but that very rarely happens.
