Girl missing-Book review

Image
Hello everybody and welcome back to another book review, Today, I will be reviewing Sophie McKenzie's book 'Girl missing.' This story is about a girl who has to write an essay one day about herself. This triggers her to question why she is with her adoptive parents and why they won't tell her about her past. She goes on a journey with her friend Jam and their relationship becomes more serious throughout the story. Some things were a bit unrealistic like when Lauren, a 14 year old travels to America with Jam, a 15 year old but I suppose it wasn't supposed to be realistic. McKenzie was really good at building up tension about kidnapping and bullying. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I give this book a 4/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Did you read this book?

Anne Frank's diary book review

Image
Hello everybody and welcome back to another book review,  It took me ages to finish Anne Frank's diary but I am finally here to tell you guys what I thought of it. To be honest, I really enjoyed it. It's definitely not the same as reading a book since a book has a climax and a purpose. Anne's diary was just an account of her life. I loved the simplicity that came from that. I loved learning new things about the war which I didn't know before. Plus I got an insight into what life was like in hiding and not just in the concentration camp. Things were obviously very tough for her. I felt sympathy when she was going through depression. But I also liked the fact that she stayed optimistic about things. I rate it a 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have you read Anne Frank's diary before? Let me know in the comments below.

Cannery Row book review

Image
Hi guys, Welcome back to another book review, As you may already know (because I've been babbling on about it) I've been reading Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. Now, I have read one of Steinbeck's books in the past which was 'Of Mice And Men'. I feel like now, I understand his style of writing a lot more. For example, in Of Mice And Men, Steinbeck talks a lot about the scenery in the beginning. At that point, you want to give up. However, you soon realise the read in why he is talking a lot about the scenery and that is because the scenery has a lot of relevance to the story. Now, when I read Cannery Row, Steinbeck talked a lot about the characters. It made me realise that the character's have a lot of importance to the story. I really enjoyed learning about all the different characters like Mack,Eddie,Doc and Dora. They all tie in with the story very well. Mack and the boys try to throw Doc a party and at first it doesn't go to plan but they w...

Hello everybody and welcome to my first ever blog post here on this blog, It's very nice to meet you all and I am sure that many of you have come from my other blog -  https://jujupage1sblog.blogspot.co.uk  . It would be in my best wishes if you could follow me on this blog and my main blog to keep up with the latest. You guys mean the world to me!☺ Now, let's get on to the blog postπŸ‘‰ I was very kindly given this book from my history teacher because I wrote an amazing essay on the intentions of Anne Frank's story.  I will be writing a review on her story shortly. However, most of us know that Anne unfortunately didn't live to tell the tale of life in a concentration camp. So this is where Helga comes into play. Helga was only twelve years old when she went to her first ghetto, Terezin. She wrote a diary all about her experiences. She was a Jewish Czech girl who grew up in a place called Prague.  The second concentration camp was Auschwitz from which she had not ...
