My Book Reviews

Seriously...I'm Kidding by Ellen DeGeneres

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Let me start off by saying that I LOVE Ellen. I love her show and the way she exudes positivity and everything you could wish to be. To be honest, I didn't know she had 2 other books before Seriously... I'm Kidding. Heh. So shoot me. =p

Truth be told I kinda expected this to be some sort of inspirational book about her life and journey and whatnot. And it was far from it. The book turns out to be just random stuff that popped into her head (probably), laced with the humour she's so famous for. The first few pages already had me chuckling.

To be brutally honest, I was a liiiiiiiittle bit disappointed with it. If I was re-presented with the decision whether to buy the book or not, I probably wouldn't. No offense at all, but while I still would have wanted to read it, I'd have rather borrowed it from a library or something rather than purchase it.

Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This is one of my favourites. I love Sophie's humour and the way she describes things. I lent the book from a friend, and Sophie immediately became one of my favourite authors. Remember Me? makes you question your choices in life and makes you wonder: If you had the chance to change your past, would you? What would you change? It's also thought-provoking. Makes me wanna get Sophie's entire work. ;)

Who's That Girl? by Alexandra Potter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



It's funny, it's real, and it actually makes you think (well, it made ME think, that's for sure!). After I read the book, I wrote my own list of things I'd say to a younger me if I could, and it opened my eyes to some things that I already knew, but had chosen to not address. After the first one in the list, the other 9 came almost naturally. I love books that give you something to think of after you've read them, and this one definitely did it. =)
