Book Review: Horns By Joe Hill

Title: Horns
Author: Joe Hill
Genre: Thriller
Rating: ****1/2
Blurb: Once, Ig lived the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned musician, the younger brother of a rising late-night TV star. Ig had security and wealth and place in his community. Ig had it all, and more- he had the love of Merrin Williams, a love founded on shared mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic.

Then beautiful, vivacious Merrin was gone- raped and murdered, under inexplicable circumstances- and Ig the only suspect. He was never tried for the crime, but in the court of public opinion, he was and always would be guilty.

Now Ig is possessed of horns, and a terrible new power- he can hear people's deepest, darkest secrets- to go with his terrible new look. He means to use it to find whoever killed Merrin and destroyed his life. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. It's time for a little revenge, it's time the devil had his due.
Review: This book is now one of my all time favourites. Though not for the fainthearted, Joe Hill has produced an excellent novel. I brought this book because ,just before, I had seen the film trailer of Horns. The storyline drew me in and I'm glad I went through with buying it.

The story follows Ig who is on  a desperate mission to find out who raped and murdered his girlfriend, Merrin. However, Ig is possessed with a power so he can see people's deepest and darkest secrets. This serves as a slightly entertaining part of the novel, where people can't help but spill their ghastly secrets to Ig. The storyline is completely original and I can't fault Joe Hill's writing whatsoever. Also, which I love in a novel, the story has a dramatically, twisted ending. I highly recommend this to people who love horrors/thrillers or just a completely different, twisted novel. I am yet to watch the film version.

Book Review: Girl Online By Zoe Sugg (Aka Zoella)

Title: Girl Online
Author: Zoe Sugg (aka Zoella)
Genre: Teen Fic/ Romance
Rating: ****
Blurb: Penny has a secret.
Under the alias Girl Online, Penny blogs her hidden feelings about friendships, boys, her crazy family and the panic attacks that have begun to take over her life. When things go from bad to worse, her family whisks her away to New York where she meets Noah: a gorgeous, guitar-strumming American. Suddenly Penny is falling in love- and capturing every moment of it on her blog.
But Noah has a secret too. One that threatens to ruin Penny's cover- and her closest friendship- forever.
Review: Firstly, the cover of Girl Online is one of my favourites, It certainly pretties up my bookshelf! Zoella has been one of my favourite vloggers since I was younger so buying her book was a no brainer, The beauty blogger/ newly popular author gave all of her fans a story that any teenage girl would thoroughly enjoy.

Linking her experience of blogging and panic attacks into her story, Zoe creates a unique, heartfelt storyline. Though not the best written, I still highly recommend it. The book follows Penny and her relationships with American Noah and her wacky friendship with her best friend, Elliot. Personally, I feel that this is a beautiful book with an emotional rollercoaster ride to go with it. For Zoella's first book, I think it was a major success. Even if you aren't a fan of Zoella, it doesn't matter. This is a book any teenager should read if they enjoy romances.

Book Review: Ayoade on Ayoade: A Cinematic Odyssey By Richard Ayoade

Title: Ayoade on Ayoade: A cinematic odyssey
Author: Richard Ayoade
Genre: Autobiography/ Humour
Rating: ****
Blurb: In this book Richard Ayoade- actor, writer, director, and amateur dentist- reflects on his cinematic legacy as only he can: in conversation with himself.
Over ten brilliantly insightful and often erotic interviews, Ayoade examines himself fully and without mercy, leading a breathless investigation through the private portals of a visionary.
Only Ayoade can appreciate Ayoade's unique methodology.
Only Ayoade can recognise Ayoade's talent.
Only Ayoade can withstand Ayoade's peculiar scent.
Only Ayoade can truly get inside Ayoade.
Only Ayoade could write Ayoade on Ayoade: A cinematic odyssey. Take the journey, and your life will never be the same again.
Review: This was another book I received on Christmas. Richard Ayoade is one of my favourite comedic actors so I HAD to get this book. You may has seen him on 'The IT Crowd', in the film 'The Watch', on many episodes of '8 out of 10 Cats' and 'The Big Fat Quiz of the Year'. If not, let me just say, he is one of the most peculiar people you will ever encounter. If you have a dry sense of humour, I'm certain you will enjoy this book.
Ayoade interviews himself in the book and has a handy appendix, which you can easily flick back and forth to throughout the book. The book is packed with humour and delves into the crazy mind of Ayoade. At times, the book doesn't really make sense but it doesn't really matter because, at times, neither does Ayoade. So if you're looking for a funny autobiography or want to find out more about Ayoade, this is certainly the book for you.

Book Review: City Of Bones By Cassandra Clare

Title:  City Of Bones
Author: Cassandra Clare
Rating: **** 1/2
Blurb: Sixteen-year-old Clary Fray is an ordinary teenager, who likes hanging out in Brooklyn with her friends. But everything changes the night she witnesses a murder, committed by a group of teens armed with medieval weaponry. The murderous group are Shadowhunters, secret warriors dedicated to driving demons out of this dimension and back into their own. Drawn inexorably into a terrifying world, Clary slowly begins to learn the truth about her family - and the battle for the fate of the world.
Review:  I received this book for Christmas and I'm already eager to buy the next in the series. I was recommended to read The Mortal Instruments series by one of my best friends and I recommend you do the same! I was instantly drawn into the mythical world which Cassandra Clare creates alongside the relationship between Clary and Jace. The book is about a girl named Clary Fray who accidentally stumbles into the world of Shadow hunters which change her life forever. Not only does she discover the world of demons and Shadow hunters, but also about her own past. This is a book for the readers who love to delve into new worlds and read about fantasy or even the readers who love to indulge into a little bit of romance. If you're looking for a new series to get involved in for the new year, I strongly recommend The Mortal Instruments series!

I am determined to use this blog as much as possible and log down all of the crazy things which will be happening this year. This year will be one of the most important years of my life and I couldn't think of anything better than sharing it with all of you!
