- I really like the plot
- The twists and turns
- I like how Lorali acts childlike – she is seeing everything for the first time
I received Lorali by Laura Dockrill from The Five Mile Press (Hot Key Books) in exchanged for an honest review. This has in no way influenced my thoughts on the book.
As soon as I read the synopsis for Lorali, I knew I needed it in my hands so I could read it. Firstly the cover is stunning, not only does it look beautiful but it feels so cool. The front has scale from fish, or mermaid tales and you can feel them.
Lorali jumps through 3 points of view; Rory the male protagonist and who the novel follows, Lorali; the mermaid that washes a shore and ‘The Sea.’
It was easy to distinguish between

I haven’t read too many things when an author personifies something and I think that Laura Dockrill, did it perfectly. It was humanized in a way that if the chapters of Lorali didn’t have ‘The Sea’ at the top, you would have thought it was human.
‘The Sea’ followed a different people and it also gave the reader some back story on things and people that were brought up through the book.
One of the groups of people that the sea followed were aboard the Liberty Ship, the Ablegares boys, who are pirates. Otto, Oksa and Jasper are quite entertaining characters and I really enjoyed following their story. They shared such an awesome bond it was fun to read but then they could be harsh and mean.
‘The Sea’ also follows Orla a mermaid whose job is to keep an eye on the walkers, again she was a really interesting character, which kind of disappointed me in the end.
Although I loved the plot, the characters and all the twists and turns. I didn’t fall in love with the writing style. I am not a massive fan of lots of short sentences, I felt that when the book was in Lorali’s point of view it made sense but not when it was in others. I also felt the ending lacked – I was just really confused by the ending. I don’t know if that was just me and I missed
In my eyes I loved the book I rate it a 9/10, its had a good twist and turn to it. I loved this
story, the plot was good. The liked the purpose of the author and the way
I think that overall the book was an amazing book. It drew me in the entire time and I could not put it down because of that. If any part started to get boring something insane would happen to make it interesting. For example in one part of the book it starts to get a little bit slow because it just talks about search methods a group of Bzrk members were using. Then suddenly a fake swat team busts into the house and kills everyone inside besides one child who ends killing almost all of the fake swat team. Another example was that a girl was sitting on the beach counting and kept counting for a while. Then suddenly she gets kidnapped and brought aboard a ship that is full of crazy people. Those are just some the things that happen throughout the book that keep interested on every page.
The movie recounts how Frankenstein achieves his goal by creating a life- the monster and is unhappy about the outcome. Then, the boat captain, after listening to Dr Frankenstein’s story, changes his mind about his quest and goes home. Overall, the knowledge and power they seek pushes the parallel characters further into a realm of unhappiness, loneliness and

As revealed in Azar Nafisi's book Reading Lolita in Tehran, Iran's radical religious and political views are the driving force behind the domination and maltreatment of the country's people. Throughout the book there are many examples of this oppressive treatment which is enforced because of strict religious convictions. Nafisi compares the oppression happening during a tense period of revolution with various works of fiction that mirrors what is becoming life in Iran. The tyrannical treatment of Iranian people can be analyzed by uncovering themes found throughout Nafisi's book.
This character can cook, clean, harvest eggs, and do much work even though she is in her mid-thirties and still acts like a small child. Her mother uses her looks to convince Mr. Shiftlet to marry her but she doesn’t clearly know what just
I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...
Fans of the novel found that the way the novel is written, you never want to put it down and the action keeps things moving and is quite entertaining. The novel pulls you in and makes you love each of the main characters in it. This is a great series for anyone to read, and it is audience friendly for whoever reads them. There is quite a bit of suspense that will make the novel exceed readers 's expectations, and the twists and turns keeps you guessing and lets nothing be predictable. Some like the way this group of people bands together when they really need to and keep things together so they can all stop the
Imagery returns once more, allowing the reader to sense the nerves that were beginning to affect the narrator; preparing them for a suspenseful turning point. The turning point that follows had been the revelation of the narrator’s thoughts about stealing the book- which may have been why she must’ve lost her doubts prior. The narrator could not bring herself to steal the book, but was not ready to forget her special moment; looking to the book for an
SImilarly, I did not really like the story because of the focus on nature. Though very well written, the emphasis on the conflict between human and nature, and the exorbitant amount of descriptions made the story less enjoyable for me. I prefer stories with a faster pace which is
... of tragedy and lets her be the diamond in the rough. She is the one person whose vision is unaltered from the very beginning of the book and to her the other survivors draw their own courage.
According to goodreads.com, Legend “was absolutely incredible...and...the world was... incredibly vivid”. Some may think the characters and their actions are unrelatable, but the emotions are conveyed perfectly, the scenes are action-packed, and the plot is unpredictable. Every aspect of the plot is unique, but not to the point where the story cannot be related to. It is a beautifully written book that everyone should give a chance.
