I loved it. Elizabeth Kolbert is a fantastic and detailed writer, her easy to follow style allows readers to understand the science, without the complicated terminology. A must-read for any environmentalist, especially those who enjoy geology, or environmental sciences. Explaining the discovery of the five major catastrophic events over the history of the earth is only the beginning. Kolbert takes readers on her adventures discovering information with scientists about what the future may hold. This book is extremely engaging and will permanently alter the way you think about the world we live in. A huge 5/5 for this amazing nonfiction book.

Imagine a place of absolute wonder where elegance meets absurdity, and mysterious people accomplish impossible feats. Le Circuit des Rêves arrives, its black and white tents popping out of nowhere and sitting silently until the sun falls below the horizon, the circus is open. It’s a wonderful place of caramel popcorn and fortune-tellers, but behind the striped tents, a mystifying game is at play.
This enchanting romance is mysterious and magnificent. Erin Morganstern writes of a spectacular travelling circus, where pure magic is around every turn. Though unique this fictitious novel is filled with childlike wonder wrapped in indescribable tension. The Night Circus has become one of my favourite books, so creative and descriptive it makes you feel as though you are really part of Le Curiut des Rêves.

It is truly spectacular what can be made when creativity prospers, and The Starless Sea is proof. Erin Morgenstern's new novel is even more imaginative than her last ( The Night Circus). It is utterly confusing in the most wonderful way, and the entire novel is extremely detailed, be sure to pay attention. The story follows Zachary Ezra Rawlins through many doors and into a spectacular land that lies beyond. With new friends, and enemies, Zachary leads the story through worlds that are, or were, harbours dedicated to the spectacular art of storytelling. I highly recommend this to anyone longing a break from reality, because this novel is truly magical. 4 stars

Life of Pi is a terrifying fiction starring Pi Patel on the most unbelievable journey of his life. It is wonderful and frightening, sparing no gruesome detail with its casual writing style. This novel may begin peacefully in India with animals, people, and places that seem overly mundane and simple, but when Pi finds himself stranded in the middle of nowhere all of that changes.
Martel writes in such a casual style that is far too easy to get swept up in. I highly recommended this for anyone seeking something different, and no doubt this novel would be excellent for any school book report. 5 stars
