The Dollmaker by Amanda Steven 1 week ago

I wanted to read a suspenseful mystery, so I decided to read The Dollmaker. The title itself sounds a bit creepy. The actual book is very creepy at times.
It tells the story of Claire, a middle aged woman whose daughter Ruby was kidnapped seven years ago. One day, she spots a doll in a shop window that looks exactly like her daughter. She gets in an accident which prevents her from going inside the store that day, and she later finds that the doll has gone missing. She’s determined to find that doll, if it could give her a clue about whatever happened to Ruby. She goes to her ex-husband, a private investigator, for help which opens up their turbulent past.
I must say, the story intrigued me. However, I had a hard time getting into the book for a while. There are a lot of little sub plots in this book. I didn’t really like that. But, I did like how the book would sometimes go into the mind of the kidnapper. Those parts were creepy. When I got down to the last 50 pages, I really got into it finally. It was finally starting to pick up pace and excitement. I couldn’t help but feel that in the last scenes of the story, I was reminded of the movie Psycho very much. That’s all I’ll say about that, in order not to spoil the book for anyone.
All in all, an ok read. Creepy and interesting at times, but slow at other times.

13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher 1 week ago

I bought this book for my younger sister as a gift and I decided to read it while I still had it. It tells the story of a high school boy, Clay, who receives a package of cassette tapes from a girl who has recently committed suicide. On those tapes, she talks about the 13 reasons why she killed herself. There are 13 people responsible for that, and those are the people who are getting the tapes.
It is a book that you won’t be able to put down once you start reading it. It is a book that should be required in high school. It is a book that high schoolers could very easily relate to, even as adults, our adolescence is never really lost. It is very emotional, chilling, sad, depressing but in the end, hopeful. There are so many emotions that we struggle with inside ourselves, sometimes they are hidden deep inside, this book brings some of those out.

This was on tv last night at like 1 am. Have always wanted to see this movie (it’s a shame I never had until last night), definitely a masterpiece. Creepy indeed. Loved it.
