Review: A Letter from Birmingham Jail- Martin Luther King Jnr

This little pocket book is first of the new Penguin Modern series books. It definitely didn't disappoint, as it was such an insightful look into how he felt when he was in jail, unjustfully so. The publishers also included one of his sermons and I found it quite powerful as well. Rating: 5/ 5

Review: Molecules of Emotion- Candace B. Pert

I honestly did not finish this book. I did find the factual stuff interesting, however the arrogance that was just oozing from the pages was a massive put off. Rating: 1/5 DNF

Review: The Mysterious Affair at Styles- Agatha Christie

I found some parts of the book a tad long-winded, however I quite enjoyed trying to solve the mystery along side my favourite Belgian detective, Poirot. Rating: 4/ 5

Review: Stancliffe's Hotel- Charlotte Brontë

I found this little novella a tad confusing to read, as it had too many characters and plot aspects to keep track of in 110 pages. However I found it an entertaining read, once I caught the gist of it. Rating: 3/5

Review: The Girl Who Played With Fire- Stieg Larsson

Just wow. The combination of murders, crimes, plot twists, family ties and friends makes this a total page-turner. It kept me intrigued, and just as I thought the story was straightforward- boom- there was plot twists galore. This really hit the spot for me, I love crime and mystery books! Rating: 5/ 5
