The Red Shoe is a charming novel composed by the astounding author, Ursula Dubosarsky. The events and happenings in this novel date back to the 1950s. It describes the wars, the diseases of the citizens back then, and detailed descriptions of what it was like in those days and how people lived differently from how we do today. It shows a kind of "slice of life" story style directing to the three sisters in the story. The book suggests war and spies and the effect of the both of them on individuals and families, threats of the diseases and the sexist attitudes dealing with the fact that men had more rights than women back then.
In my opinion, I would rate the book a 2.5/5 as it really wasn’t the read for me. The novel had so much potential: three sisters

The chapters and settings all seemed a bit too random and wasn’t really my cup of tea. Every chapter tells a different story and it was hard to link the full thing together. It takes a while to understand the concept. The newspaper articles were a great add and an interesting idea, but however does not fit it with the story, or otherwise was not put together very well. The book has many sad events and the entire novel seems to have a dark side. It is quite difficult to comprehend the book’s affairs as it does not have a storyline. The chapters make me feel like they were written arbitrarily and would need a long time to think about the book in order to know its true meaning. The author is trying to convey the idea of the 50s for the readers but has made it extremely hard to perceive, always adding in random and unnecessary lines for the characters that have no effect on the rest of the book. E.g when they kept referring back to the red shoe even though its not significant in the plot at all, but is only just a motif in the story. The readers may not be able to see how a red shoe from Hans Christian’s Andersen story can relate to the occurrences of the Cold
In my opinion I thought that this book was a very good book. In this chapter I will describe the setting, theme, plot and conflict etc. This book had a few different settings like
In the book, Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, Mare’s world is run by people of silver blood with the people of red blood bowing down to their every word. Mare is forced into royalty and must act silver, although she is red in the blood. The author included specific details in the story that helps build character and helps the readers understand the story. Two details that help readers understand the story are similes and the point of view.
I read the book, Red Queen, by Victoria Aveyard. The book was published in New York from Harpercollins in the year 2015. The book has 383 pages. I’ve never read a book by Victoria Aveyard before, I enjoyed the book quite a lot. The book is fiction and it’s both action and romance. The title sparked my interest because I wanted to know what they meant by red queen. On the cover there’s a little quote that says “Power is a dangerous game”. The artwork on the cover is an upside down crown with red blood dripping down.
In my opinion, this book just OK. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5. I say this because I, myself, am not into art, drawing, or painting. But this book is not all about that. I would say this book is worth reading if you like graphic novels and a hooking adventure.
The first couple of chapters seemed dawdling. The author lost me when he went into elongated historical definitions and discussions this agitated and disconcerted me. Although, it started slow I soon found it hard to put down the book. The author could generate tension in the story, which is why could not put the book down. The book is far different from the movie; to me the plots seemed remote from each other. The Native Americans in the book
The Novel “The Red Queen” takes place in the royal country of Norta that has a mountainous forest region. Norta, whereas all other kingdoms, has two classes of people: the upper-class Silvers and the lower-class Reds. The Silvers are further divided into the lowly houses, elite houses, and the Royal House, while the Reds all live in a village called the Stilts. The Stilts run along a river that connects Archeon to Summerton. Archeon is the capital that rules the country throughout the majority of the year.
Red Scarf Girl, a memoir by Ji-Li Jiang, tells the story of her childhood during the Cultural Revolution, only colored by the innocence and naivety of her youth. This honesty, coming with being a memoir as opposed to literary fiction enhances the memoir's authenticity, while its realness, as it wasn't an expository essay, makes the story's message more powerful.
It was very farfetched and unrealistic as well at cheesy at times. What is the possibility that of all the Holocaust survivors on planet Earth that a Nazi officer and someone who attended the camp he worked at both live in the same New Hampshire town. I also wonder, why Sage? He’s 95. Odds are he didn’t expect to live to be so old. You’d think that he would’ve found another Jewish person to kill him a bit earlier on in his life if he felt so guilty about his past. I also really didn’t like Sage, at least in the beginning. I feel like she’s too stroppy and feels too sorry for herself. I like how later in the book she develops to be a bit more confident. Another thing I didn’t like was how the author had to throw in a love triangle type deal. Her relationship with the funeral director wasn’t that annoying but the romance with Leo was. It would’ve been a lot better if there was just a strong female protagonist without a romantic interest. Besides all this I think Jodi Picoult has a beautiful style of writing and when we were learning about Minka’s past and her experiences in the ghettos of Poland and at Auschwitz I felt very touched and saddened. Did I hate it? No. Did I love it?
This novel is something you would want to read when you're in a reading slump or you want an easy contemporary to read. The content of the novel that is written was a little sloppy, sometimes I had a little trouble keeping up with the characters and plot line. Since this was a short read, everything seemed rushed.

This book is not recommended to people that don’t like romance, this book has a bite of romance. There is a series of these books, this book is the second book of the series and there are more books in the series. I recommend you read the first book first because the books in the series countinue from book to book. This book is write really well that it feels like it's happening in front of you. I bet you that if you start reading it you won’t want to stop reading it. You might think that the book looks boring from the front cover, i thought that too, but a lot of people recommended the book to me and read the book. Now I am reading the whole series because that's how good it is.This book in my opinion is a really interesting book that I would want to read over and over a again. I would rate this book a 5 star because it's a really interesting book that I really didn't want to put
I give Not One More by Carrie Andrews a 3 out of 4. I would have happily given the book a four out of four if the book would have progressed more smoothly. However, the book deserves at least a rating of three because I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and the author did a fantastic job of developing the characters. Since I am also a mother of three children, I had a connection with Kathryn and could really feel her emotion.
The book was easy to read, however the narrative jumps around chronologically. Generally the book follows a chronological sequence, despite this some aspects of the story materialise out of this sequence creating some disorientation for the reader.
The strong portrayal of mother-daughter relationships in The Red Tent by Anita Diamant results from the need women, like Leah and Dinah, had to share their life stories, as well as to create a sense of community among the women living in a patriarchal society.
My next problem was the writing, it was very juvenile in structure and, therefore, completely distracted me from everything else that I disliked and turned my focus on something I dislike even more. I hate the stereotype that Young Adult literature is easy to read because of its amateur writing styles, but when it comes to this book I can’t even disagree with that claim. There was so much modernized language throughout the story that it almost reminded me of the company that is turning Shakespeare into stories told through emojis. This was
