Here another bookworm trying to get back into reading. ^-^
I hope to read a minimal of 10 books this year. -
Title: Harry Potter and The Cursed Child (Script Version)
Author: J.K. Rowling
Pages:336
My POV:
As a Harry Potter fan, to be bluntly honest, this book kind of disappointed me. I loved loved loved the first seven books, but I think this one just didn't do it for me.
I felt that Harry just wasn't the "Harry", I knew.
The plot was alright, I'm not going to go with awesome, but it was okay. There is humour and suspense, but not "the first seven books" kinda suspense. I have a feeling she just wanted to write that last book and it didn't turn out that great. I'm glad I read the book and know about it, but I would read it again.
(Not) Recommended:
I wouldn't exactly recommend this book for die hard HP fans.
I would recommend this book for anyone who wants an adventure read , someone who adores (family) drama's or someone who hasn't read Harry Potter ever. ^-^
Spoiler Alert:Spoiler
There is some serious lack of parenting skills in my opinion.
I'm over the moon that I got to read more of Draco Malfoy's life story. <3

Finished it!! -
Title: The Stranger
Author: Harlan Coben
Pages: 267
Rating: A lot, like really a lot lot lot of 18+ Foul Language Talking
My POV:
I first scrolled down Netflix and came across this series called The Stranger. I wanted to watch it, but didn't have the time. So I kind of ghosted it after watching only the very first episode.
But a few months later, I saw the series in my list and read the description once again, that was when I noticed that the series was based of a book!! ^-^
I was soooo happy, because I could always do some bedtime reading, so in a way I got the book, yesterday. But because I was busy studying for a test, I didn't touch it yet.
Today however, I started reading one chapter...and then another one...and then another one and another one...until, I finished the entire book!
~~~
Like the first episode, the book gripped me at once, however, I think in the series they mixed two different books.
The writing style of the author is very relatable and understanding, the chapters vary in length as does the sentence structure. Another thing is that this book varies from perspective, but you do manage to keep the protagonist, Adam Price, his point clearly throughout the entire way.
The end will leave you gasping and shoked! No cliffhanger, which I'm happy about, just a fully rounded tale. Adam Price, is a relatable character which the reader can sympathize with, while reading his thoughts.
(Not) Recommended:
Despite from heavy heavy bad 18+ Rated language, there are no particular uncomfortable scenes. If you're not a big fan of that, I'd suggest you skip this book.
Other than that, there is no reason why I wouldn't recommend this book. Very well written, kept me glued to my chair until the very last page of the book.
Spoiler Alert: Don't Read if you don't want spoilersSpoiler
The last twist is the best, you would have never guessed why (Adam's wife) Corrine just left all of a sudden. Gosh, the entire puzzle started to come into pieces once I got to the ending.
It was Tripp, the trusted ex-police man in who murdered her in coldblood.
