Finding the time to read this is the key. Now that I carry in around in my bag all day, I can fill up all those awkward or boring moments with fiction.

I love the humour in this small book. I'm always thrilled when I have time to read it and I'm looking forward to reading the sequels.

It's nice that humorous books feel like quick reads. Unlike BEYOND THE BLONDE, the main character isn't naive. It's a lovely change from novels I have previously read (and didn't enjoy for that reason).

I haven't enjoyed a book this much since I read the twilight saga for the first time. I became very bored of my (previous) favorite fiction genres: fantasy & romance. However, thanks to Louise Rennison, I have discovered my new favourite: humour.

I liked how determined the main character was and his string sense of purpose through out the story. Although, I didn't enjoy the general negativity. The characters needed to have more faith that their leaders strategies will keep them alive. Throughout, they always complain about unavoidable death.

I would recommend this book to fans of Attack on Titans anime and The Death Note.

SPOILERS... This graphic novel is about a fantasy future, when the human race is at war with giants known as titans. To protect themselves, they built 50 metre high walls around the remaining human population. When the main character finally accomplishes his dream to join the army, he struggles with the equipment and to control his actions when he uses his unusual ability to transform into a titan.

Kathleen's short story is about a teen girl who begun hair and beauty school and strives for success in the hair industry. Fortunately, I could relate to the main character (I'm currently studying beauty therapy and aim to be a professional beautician in the future). However, she is very native, ignorant and oblivious. For instance, it didn't occur to her that very male with a career in hair and beauty was gay.

This story is about a teen girl who has visions of a mysterious temple, a tremendous jewel and a shadowy prince. Besides, I liked that I could relate to her daydream experience. However, I disliked the unclear, confusing and inarticulate plot. Throughout, I'm unsure of what's happening. In conclusion, I would recommend the ''Escaflowne'' to fans of sci-fiction, fantasy and manga.

This is a graphic novel that contains fantasy.

The story contains a lot of gossip. Ifyou enjoyed ''The Devils Wear Prada'' you will like this book. The work environment is very realistic and relatable for this in the hair and beauty industry.

This book has an detailed description of different types of clients, who get their hair done in the salon the main character works at. It was interesting, but the author can be slightly insulting to certain kinds of people.

TLTR (too long to read), seriously it takes so long that by the time I pick it up again, I've forgotten what it's about.

The main character has a Japanese/Chinese name that I have no idea how to pronounce, so I definitely can't remember it unfortunately. This story contains advanced make-believe technology that can be confusing, but makes the plot interesting. It also brings to mind the phase "don't talk to strangers." Clearly the author doesn't think it's dangerous to do so.
