cute

I was asked to review this charming sweet book by Lovereading.co.uk

This is a sea turtle called Fergus who is different from his siblings as he has a tougher shell, has claws and appears to be bigger, sea creatures try to eat him, and is on the hunt for his parents. He does not realise who he is, but the question is will he?

the illustrations are really sweet and the colours evoke the sea and oceans.

Fergus is a lovely character and children will warm to him.

interesting rhymes and a good storyline too.

Interesting

This book is narrated by a wild cat - so quite unusual to start off. The mystery is fairly obvious guys- there are some bad people around. Anyway Catastrophe is the name of this wild cat injured in Scotland and rescued by a couple- whose aunt passes away and murder is suspected.
All sounds strange reader- actually it works and the descriptions are good, a murder from an animal point of view.

An original good read

I watched on TV first hand when the Chernobyl disaster unfolded in 1986 and knew then the impact would carry on well after our live times. I have watched a lot of factual programmes on this and remember the Ukrainian Club in Bradford helping the children of this terrible disaster.


The book  tells the story of a Ukrainian Chernobyl survivor who comes to the UK and adopted in the UK. He becomes a nuclear physicist employed in Scotland he is in a naval base. A incident on s nuclear submarine bring the horror of Chernobyl back to him, This is about him facing up to his past and survival.

This book is a good read, not surprising it is upsetting at times, well researched and recommended.

beautiful

Just beautiful and what better for children reluctant for bed to have this as a bed time story, Well paced for your child and children and adults will love the sweet illustrations by Liuba Syrotiuk. This book encourages parents and their children to have quality time before sleep. I would envisage the parent reading to the child and sharing the experience and interaction with the illustrations. Brings back routines and for the child and parent a positive effect with going to bed. There is so much emphasis with sitting round the table and I think bed times are equally important.

A recommended book to read to children then they may pick this up when slightly older and re read this- delightful.

Frightening good read

I was asked to review this book by Lovereading

It was a real rollercoaster ride to the end.

Well researched and tells the story of child brothers in Cyprus seeing their female members of their family being raped in front of them - that is something no one can forget and revenge is often talked about but not always carried out. 30 years later the target is the British Royal Navy.

In Britain a British man was there too and on the beach, bombs falling and his mother losing a limb.

the British man is fighting global terrorism.

Well written thriller keeps the reader on their toes, gritty and brutal taking the reader from London to Lahore. It is a frightening read although surrounded by acts of terrorism on the news, this brings the reader face to face with reality.

This story kept me reading on till the very end, a recommended book.

rollercoaster journey

I was asked to review by Lovereading

This book is certainly not for the faint hearted there is no chance the reader will not get a sense of this.

five people unknown to each other who attempt to break out of a Russian jail which the reader will see the danger that this entails. Once this happens they are then on the run from officials. This is a good read leaves nothing to the imagination and the reader can truly imagine the scenes within this dreadful jail. 


The author paints a very dark but thrilling story that takes the reader on a dangerous journey. Well written and although I would not have normally picked this book up- as a reviewer I was glad of the opportunity and I can recommend this book.

The author has written a number of books and I am keen to seek this author out.

I was asked to review this by Lovereading.

The cover showed pain and anguish and as a health professional I have some understanding of this disorder.

With high profile people like the young royals highlighting mental health it is important that readers are aware of this and there have been celebrities who have come out and told the world about this. We need to face mental health and the ever increasing number of people suffering from alcohol and gambling problems. People today all over he world are suffering due to financial and stress problems that can escalate and can cause homelessness ( no they are not all drug addicts but have found themselves in these situations which can occur overnight due to losing their job and can be one pay packet away from crisis)
This is a 6o something man who highlight the problems of being addicted to drink and gambled. It is warts and all and the reader is taken on a fast journey. It is not all doom and gloom and gives the reader a real insight and also there can be light at the end of the dark tunnel.

Well written and a good insight for readers.
