It Got Good

This is the first book I read when I bought my lovely Kindle way back in Feb, 
 Its called "Room" by Emma Donoghue. A friend of mine told me about this book and I remember my partner telling me he had looked at it in WaterStones, At first I thought it sounded like one of those true story thingies that I hate so much. I was wrong. So here is a little blurb about it:-
It's Jack's birthday, and he's excited about turning five. Jack lives with his Ma in Room, which has a locked door and a skylight, and measures 11 feet by 11 feet. He loves watching TV, and the cartoon characters he calls friends, but he knows that nothing he sees on screen is truly real - only him, Ma and the things in Room. Until the day Ma admits that there's a world outside . . . Told in Jack's voice, Room is the story of a mother and son whose love lets them survive the impossible.
 The story was really quite touching in some places and the little lad sounds lush, A typical five year old boy, But not quite, Can you imagine being shut away from the world not even knowing that it exists? I cant, But this book gives you an idea what it could be like......
 Quite a heart rending story and I really recommend you try it.
 Kindle price is £2.79. Paperback is £3.99. Hardback is £7.19. Please remember that I give the prices from Amazons list only. You can check out WaterStones or Orricks but I doubt you will find the books I review cheaper anywhere else.

Enjoy :) 

Bad Endings

 If there is anything in this world that annoys me and makes me want to beat something to a nasty little pulp, Its got to be people who pick their feet and bad endings in a book/film.
 I mean come ON people. You take all that time and effort to write a really good book then get bored at the end and think "well the reader wont know what happened but Hell I cant be arsed with this book anymore and my dead line is gaining fast" PFFT. You take a fantastic writer, Take one, Any will do, You have a fantastic story line, Terrific hero, Fabulous monsters, you go the the entire story keeping the reader completley enthralled to the very very end, And on the last page what do they do? They have the hero throw a sodding pig or something equally as pathetic at the monster and it vanishes into thin air never to be seen again and some silly girl falls at his feet promising him 67 kids and a house with a white picket fence and a golden lab. Yeah??? NOOOOO!!! Its irritating people, Not to mention the fact that because the ending is terrible you cant stop bloody thinking about it for weeks. 
  Well, I have just finished a book like that. The hero didnt throw a pig at the monster but he may as well have in my humble opinion. I am not saying that I could write a book any better but please, It cant be that hard to think of a good ending after writing the whole thing in the first place.
 Rant over and I am not telling you which book it is either. Cos you will be expecting a bad ending and flicking through to the last page just to find out. 
 Arnt I wicked :) hehe
