A Review of The Taker by Alma Katsu.

The Taker by Alma Katsu.

The Taker is a minty fresh breath of air in a world so dominated at the moment by a tween culture hooked on Twilight.

When I first picked up the book in ASDA, I admit I judged it, I read the back saw the words immortals and thought, oh no another product of the vampire craze that's going on. A craze I'm not a fan off, I like my vampires like Mitchell on Being Human except maybe less Human. Now however I'm misleading you because this is a book far from vampires, this is about humanity.
This is Lanny's story, after she arrives in the E.R one cold night, Lanny begins to tell Luke a tale of love reminiscent of that from Wuthering Heights.
The book begins by leading straight into action that tickles every part of your curious being, I fail to see how anyone can not read at least the first few pages and not want to know more, not want to know who Lanny is, where she has come from, what led to her to being in that ER.

Taking a break from essay writing.....

Ok so I'm tkaing a little break from essay writing. As I've previously stated, twice now my Blog will be back on full form after my exams were over which in my eyes is a shame because I miss writing it and I have found several things that I want to write about, several reviews and things I want to have a little rant about.
Anywho my essays are sort of coming along, I've been stressing out over them which I never normally do, I think  the fact that next year I will be in second year and should know everything makes me a little worried. I'm probably missing some vital skills that I need but I'll learn them again over summer.

Anyway not only do I have all these essays and the like I also have a birthday party to plan because this saturday I am due to turn 21, thats 2 and a 1. I'm having a fancy dress party with friend and family and the like I'm going as one of the best characters of all time, The Joker :) well actually I'm being a female Joker.
I'm excited of course I am but theres so much to do I feel like I have no time at all this week. When i return to full blogging mode, sometime within the next two weeks. there'll will be a wonderful feast of things.

1. A Review of the amazing novel I'm nearly finsihed reading The Taker by Alma Katsu
2. Some more diagnosis Murder reviews
3. A review of X-men first class which I will hopefully ave seen by then.
4. A Post about my new love in the form of the amazing Jane Lynch.

So I guess for now it's farewell for a little while... check back soon :)

Lack of intelligence....

I do apologising for my lack of posting at the moment I have so much work to do, I'm really struggling with my University work to. I think the words swimming against the tide might have some relevance here. I'm also trying to make my way through a wonderful book called The Taker, which as soon as I've finished reading I will do a lovely review for you.

I didn't do very well on my last essay and I'm very dissappointed, I feel like giving up and just letting my work slip, which is what coupled with other thingsled to my downfall at college.
I'm determined to atleasttry and do really well on these last two essays but I don't even understand the questions, sohow I'm meant to answerthem I don't know.

Oh well as soon as I've handed it in on thursday and before I start my last essay I will give you a review of a very good lay I went to see, a review of a very good book I've read and a wonderfully long post on Diagnosis Murder =)
