while it is a sensitive memoir of an upsetting event, the typos and contradictions do mean I would be hesitant about recommending it. For anyone involved with the Save Bella facebook page and campaign, this would be a nice memoir and reminder.

For anyone not familiar with the way local government works, or looking to get into politics, this is a must-read.

YA fantasy readers will probably love it. It is an interesting world, an open and straight-forward writing style, and a teen lead dealing with some very heavy issues.

Action fans and thriller readers should give this tense thriller a look...although they might want to start with the first book in the series not the fourth to avoid spoilers!

I can't give it a high rating because of the spelling errors and in a book this short, those should be fixed.

What started as a fish-out-of-water story quickly evolves into something far more. Fantasy and YA readers should definitely pick this up.

Did not finish - even though I really wanted to. This is a fascinating read, with some gorgeous photographs, but trying to read it was killing my eyes.

This is an exciting, intriguing, and thrilling book with twists and turns that are unexpected but all too believable. Dear author: please write another one like this.

a fairly standard entry into the Monster/horror genre, but might be of interest to anyone trying to get a feel for the author's writing.

Readers of Young Adult, fantasy and even paranormal or romance fans will find something to like here, but so will anyone who likes a light, enjoyable read.

Recommended to lit-fic readers and those who enjoy character drama...evocative without becoming overblown. Read sparingly for best effect.

This is definitely a direct humour style, and there's little subtle about it, so if you love that sort of writing this will appeal.

There's a gem of a story trying to get out here, but it needs better formatting, proofing, and frankly an editor

The Crier's Club may be fictional, but it handles the topic of terminal illness with dignity, sensitivity, and intelligence. This is a really good book...it is likely to have broad appeal.

For children, or even adults looking for an undemanding read, this unusual fantasy story is excellent.

A good, relaxing story, although it's very short - a ten minute read for most. It is a coffee-break read but it is a fun one.
