Malice in Blunderland by Jonny Gibbings

5.0

I loved, loved, loved this book. It's not too everyone's taste, it's rude, sickening, dark and crude in places but it's also hysterical, deep, hilarious and clever, very clever. I wasn't sure what to expect from this book but I didn't expect the plot to unfold like it did, an excellent story line. We never get to know the name of the main character but it won't stop you rooting for him through the book.

It does say at the beginning of the book that all typo's and grammar mistakes are deliberate, I thought it might put me off as I'm a bit anal when it comes to spelling etc but it added to the story.

I would 100% recommend this book but only if you're open minded, have a stomach of steel and see the funny side in all things. Go on, you know you want to.

World War II: London Blitz Diary, Volume 2 by Ruby Side Thompson, Victoria Aldridge Washuk

2.0

I wasn't too fussy on this one, I think the title is a bit misleading. After reading Volume 1 & 2 I can say that about 25-30% is about the war and the rest is of Ruby's relationship with her husband Ted, what book she's reading or other general household stuff. Disappointing.

The Break-Up Test by Rose McClelland

5.0

What a fantastic debut novel from author Rose McClelland. The story is told from four different points of view, Amy, Beth, Sarah & Jamie. They are all believable characters, the type of people you could meet on a night out. What I liked about this book was that it wasn't sickly sweet. Some chick lit can ooze a bit on the gushiness but McClelland just told it like it is which made it slightly different to most chick lit books.

I would definately recommend this book and keep an eye out for this author, she's one to look out for.

One Day at a Time: A Memoir by Susan Lewis

4.0

I wasn't enjoying this book at first but by the end it had me in tears.

Tracy's Hot Mail by T.A. Belshaw

3.0

Not a bad quick read, some laugh out loud moments but also some cheesy moments. If this book was any longer then Tracy would have started to irritate me.

Things I Couldn't Tell My Mother: My Autobiography by Sue Johnston

3.0

Another run of the mill autobiography....
