"(I got this book free from LibraryThing Early Reviewers.)
I normally really like books on the Holocaust but I can’t say I liked this one much. The author basically tried to write a heartwarming story set in Auschwitz and I don’t really think that’s..." Read more of this review » |

"When I first started reading this book, I had forgotten that it was about the Holocaust. It read, if you didn't know better, like a future dystopia, where children were grabbed off the street and forced to work at whatever they could, in a place a..."

"Book: The Red Ribbon
Author: Lucy Adlington Rating: 5 Out of 5 Stars I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher, Hot Key Books, for providing me with this ARC. Okay, this one has been compared to the Boy in the Striped Pajamas, which I have..." Read more of this review » |

| I wanted to like this book, truly I did. Frances Hardinge is a great writer, with wonderful prose. The setting is atmospheric and the story of a girl living with a ghost-bear inside her is super... and yet... I just couldn't keep going with the story ...more | |

| Utterly lovely! With all the froth and magic of a quality champagne. When you've read all of Eva Ibbotson's romances and feel bereft that there are no more, A Sky Painted Gold will ease the loss. I'm looking forward to reading more by Laura Wood | |

quote
“You've got to cram it into your thick heads: the sickos that sent us to this place are so stuffed with hate they've got to spew it out on someone, it almost doesn't matter who. If it's not one race, face or religion it'd be another. Right now it's us they vomit on. Next war it'll be some other poor beggars, then some others, then -'
'I want to go home!' the poor woman gasped, in between shakes and sobs. 'And I want to murder every last beast in this hellhole with my bare hands,' Girder raged. She had hands as big as dinner plates. 'The best we can do instead is live. Are you listening? The only way to beat them is by not dying. So shut up and survive, you miserable cow. And let the rest of us sleep.” Lucy Adlington |

“You don't have books?!' Rose almost sat up and banged her head on the roof rafters. That made the rats jump. 'How can you live without reading?'
'Pretty well so far.' I laughed. 'Stories are just made-up stuff anyway.'
'Says who? I think they're a different way of telling the truth.' Then, 'Seriously - no books? Oh, Ella, you have no idea what you've been missing! Stories are food and drink and life...I mean, haven't you heard the story about a girl who made a gown out of starlight?'
'A gown out of starlight? How could you even do that...?'
'Well,' said Rose. 'Once upon a time...'
And that was that. No sleep for me till Rose wrapped up with a triumphant The End.”

“We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better.”
