Review: Best served cold

Rec-ex from NetGalley.

The perfect book for everyone whom loves the TV-show Revenge since you get a lot of good information according to me.

NetGalley describes the book:

A critical and commercial hit, Revenge has a rabid and rapidly growing fan base. It’s consistently the #1 show in its timeslot and it’s ABC’s biggest primetime hit since Lost, the first series in four years to match that show’s success in the coveted 18-49 demographic. 

A fast-paced and complicated character-driven show with many plot twists and unanswered questions, fans will welcome insight and analysis into Emily Thorne’s master plan in this intelligent but playful companion to the series. Explorations of themes, characters, the show’s soapy and literary inspirations, and real-world events make this the must-have book for everyone who is watching Revenge.

What I think about the book:

I think it was really good since it gave me a lot of information about how it went when they have the castings and you also learned about the actors.

Something that I thought was interesting to read in this book is how they draw parables to other books and how they draw parables of roles from Alexandre Dumas's book The Count of Monte Cristo.

You can not just see the similarities from books but also from television and movies, such as Dallas, Dynasty and Knots Landing.

In The Count of Monte Cristo, it is Dante who get scammed and lose everything and the Revenge is David Clarke but instead of David Clarke comes back to get his revenge as Dante, it is rather his daughter "Emily Thorne".

To find out more, I think you should get the book and read it if you like Revenge as much as I do.

You can get the book at: Amazon.

Grade: 5 out of 5

Thanks for the book:)

A-List Movie Star

Ryan Christensen just wanted to be an actor. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever imagine that fans would chase him, paparazzi would hound him, and Hollywood studios would all want a piece of him. While filming on location in Seaport, Rhode Island Ryan ducks into a pub for just a quick escape from screaming fans—but fate has other plans.

Meets Small Town Girl

At six foot two, with dirty blond hair, blue eyes, and an incredible body, Ryan has every girl in Seaport swooning—every girl but Taryn Mitchell. Nursing a recent heartbreak, this small town pub owner believes men are best kept at a distance. But when Ryan unexpectedly bursts into her pub, she can’t help but be drawn in by his humor, charm and intense magnetism.

But Gossip Sells and They’re Paying the Price

Despite her better judgment, Taryn soon finds herself swept up in a whirlwind romance with Ryan. But is their bond strong enough to survive the tabloid lies, intrusive paparazzi, and stalking fans who threaten to tear them apart? 

This one is one of my favourite books that I have been reading so far and I just loved it. 

It is a beautiful story almost like a fairytale, or that just what it may be and it compells the reader to just wanting more.

At first it was a little slow but when I got in the book it seemed like it ended really quick since I barely let it down.

The language in the book is well understandable and you can imagine the book as a movie in your head because it is that well written.

Love Unscripted is a perfect book to read and it's understandable if the readers are falling in love with this one. How many girls hasn't dreamt about having a relationship with an actor and by reading this one it is almost like you are Taryn.

One of my favourite actions in the book is when Taryn takes Ryan to her parents cabin to go fishing and it is amazing how you can feel inside that they really care about each other.

Another one is the engagment scene since I also like Taryn thought he had meet someone else since he was very short to her.

It gets a 5+ out 5.

My review copy:	ARC received from the puvhlisher through NetGalley for a honest review

Charles Dickens’s holiday classic, A Christmas Carol, is given a fresh twist—with a female Scrooge! Rod Espinosa (The Courageous Princess) adapts and illustrates this story of the miserly Eliza Scrooge, who is visited by the ghosts of the past, present, and future on one fateful Christmas eve.

* This hardcover volume makes a perfect gift for the coming season!

This is a classic saga that many children had heard but in this version the main character is not a man instead it is a woman.

Since I only know this saga from the movies (shame on me I know) I have to say it is a real good one and I loved it.

The fact that is made as a serie album makes it more fun to read and easier for childrens to read it too since there is plenty of illustrations.

My thoughts on this good and classical story is following:

• It is good written and good illustrations
• I love the re-writing that they used a auntie instead of a uncle like in the "real" story 
• That it makes you want to read the whole thing 
• The fact that is in modern English makes it easier to understand
• And also I like that we get to see how the auntie changes her mind and becomes a really nice lady and no longer is mean to the people.

I think everyone should read this one even though you may already have read the new one because you will not regret it.

 This version will get a 5 out of 5 because it is worth it:)

My review copy:	NetGalley

Summary of Surviving the Angel of Death: 

Here is a book everyone should read since this book cointains the author and her twin sisters life at Birkenau, or Auschwitz 2 as it is a called. 

We got to follow how they get to Birkenau with their family and what happens when they get seperated from them when they arrived at Birkenau just because they are twins. The reason that they got seperated because they were twins was for that all the twins would be in care of the so called the Angel of Death which was Dr. Josef Mengele. 

The twins in his care was granted the privileges of keeping their own clothes and hair but they was also torture (but not like their families) by different experiments and they were forced to fight for to survive. Many twins died in this camp because of they got serious sick or they died because of their hunger.

From NetGalley:

Eva Mozes Kor was just 10 years old when she arrived in Auschwitz. While her parents and two older sisters were taken to the gas chambers, she and her twin, Miriam, were herded into the care of the man known as the Angel of Death, Dr. Josef Mengele. Subjected to sadistic medical experiments, she was forced to fight daily for her and her twin's survival. In this incredible true story written for young adults, readers will learn of a child's endurance and survival in the face of truly extraordinary evil.

The book also includes an epilogue on Eva's recovery from this experience and her remarkable decision to publicly forgive the Nazis.Through her museum and her lectures, she has dedicated her life to giving testimony on the Holocaust, providing a message of hope for people who have suffered, and working for causes of human rights and peace.

What I think about the book:

It is a strong book that was both horrible and good. It was horrible because of what happend in Birkenau and good because of what happend after. 

I think everyone should read this one and get some inside information about what happend to twins at this kind of camp. 

I can honest say that I didn't knew that twins was on their own and never had I heard about the experiments or about Josef Mengele.

The book was written in a really good way with a language that was easy to understand and captured the reader so that you wouldn't lay this book down because you wanted to know what would happen to Eva and her twin sister.

I will give this book a 10 out 10 and as I mention in my review I think everyone should read this one.
