A Puppy Called Aero by Liam Creed

I bought this book for £1 in a book sale.I wasn't prepared too experience such an incredibly touch book.
Liam Creed is a 15-year-old boy who suffers from ADHD and lives in Chichester,he was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 8-years-old.His life wasn't really on track until his school signed him up for a BBC documentary called "In The Dog House",he volunteered for Canine Partners.His story was extremely touching yet was able to give you the odd giggle.It gives hope to parents of ADHD sufferers.
Liam Creed is a fine example that you can better ADHD and that there is hope for everyone.

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn *SPOILER ALERT*


This was Gillian Flynn's first novel and was the first time I have been wrong about who the murderer was.From half way through this book I believed it was Adora(Camille's mum) who murdered all three girls(Ann,Natalie and Marian).I had the shock of my life when I discovered it was Amma(Camille's Sister) who murdered Natalie and Ann(and later on Lily) and Adora had killed Marian.
This was hands down the most twisted and horrifying book I have ever read but I loved every chapter,page,sentence and word.
Flynn never let's me down with her murder mystery/thriller novels,she is one of my favourite authors.

The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time by Mark Haddon


This is a remarkable book.It portrays Asperger's Syndrome in a remarkable way which is an amazing achievement for Mark Haddon.I enjoyed reading this book and cannot wait to read A Spot Of Bother and the other Haddon books.
This book was awarded many awards including the Whitbread Book Awards for Best Novel and Book of the Year,the Commonwealth Writers prize for Best First Book and The Guardian Children's Fiction Prize.
It has been described as 'a rewarding read' which I could not agree more with.
I loved reading the story of 15-year-old Christoper John Francis Boone who suffers from Asperger's syndrome.I could not thank Mr.Haddon enough for introducing me to to one of my favourite fictional characters.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn


One word,WOW.
This was my first thriller/murder-mystery novel.Since reading this amazing book I have read yet another Gillian Flynn murder-mystery and have got to say Gillian's books are ALL outstanding.Every chapter in this book made me go 'NO WAY' or 'THAT CAN'T BE TRUE'.
The Observer said 'Thriller of the year' and I could not agree more with this statement,I cannot wait to read more Flynn novels.
After reading this book I have since not stopped reading thrillers,so thank you Gillian for introducing me to such an intriguing category of books.
I would love their to be a follow-up to this book,as I have numerous questions about what happens after that last page.
Did Amy have her baby?
Did Nick stand by Amy and her baby?
Was there any more dramas?
I hope one day my questions will be answered.

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky


The blurb of this book includes a small paragraph:
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-ages story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
I couldn't agree more with Mr.Chbosky.
Until finishing this book,I didn't realise that I myself am a wallflower.This is the definition of a wallflower:
In social situations, a wallflower is a shy or unpopular individual who doesn't socialize or participate in activities at social events. He or she may have other talents but usually does not express them in the presence of other individuals. The term comes from the image of a person isolating themselves from areas of social activities at ballroom dances and parties, where the people who did not wish to dance (or had no partner) remained close to the walls of the dance hall.
Charlie is an isolated teen,when he meets Patrick and Sam basically his world is changed around.This book is amazing,and I swear at this moment we are infinite.

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

This book has taught me and Hazel many lessons.One being you don't know what you've got until it has gone.For Hazel it was Augustus.For me it was this heart-warming unforgettable book.I adored reading this book,I shed many tears thanks to the dream-boyfriend Augustus Waters.Numerous quotes from this book have touched me,some I know quote myself.For example,'the fault is not in our stars but in ourselves'.I would give an arm and a leg too find out what happens after the last page,thank you Mr.Green for writing such a phenomenal book.
