She meets new friends and needs to make decision about who to be friends with and what kind of person she wants to be. She lets herself be influenced by her fashionable aunt and gets a new haircut and a new wardrobe. She meets new friends at the beach who tell her about Jesus. </span></span></div>

Christy is really trying to discover who she is and what she does & doesn’t want to do. I think I would have loved this had I been a similar age as Christy, but I still really enjoyed it. Christy meets Todd and starts a friendship with him.The moments between Christy & Todd are really nice to read about. They talk about Jesus, friendships & making decisions. Todd & her friend Tracy make her thing about things she hasn’t really thought about before. Christy has always believed in God and went to church with her parents. But a personal relationship with God? She’d never really think about it in that way. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Synopsis</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><i>'Have you ever thought about praying for your future husband? </i></span></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Will it make a difference? </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">There's only one way to find out… </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">From when we were small girls, most of us dream of “The One,” our future husband. We think about what it would be like to be a bride. We wonder who that special guy is and when we'll find him. The great news is that what you do </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">now </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">can make a difference in your life and the life of your future husband!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Authors and good friends Robin Jones Gunn (Christy Miller series) and Tricia Goyer (author and former teen mom) believe God answers women's prayers for husbands—even husbands they may not meet for years. They invite young women to pray boldly for their future mate … while also asking God to prepare their own hearts. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">In </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Praying for Your Future Husband</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">, Robin and Tricia share their two vastly different experiences, including the things they did right and the mistakes they made on the path to meeting and marrying their husbands. Each chapter includes helpful Bible verses, prayers, and practical application, along with true stories of women who prayed for a husband and how God answered in remarkable ways. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">God has a beautiful romance prepared for you. Prayer is the key to unlocking the love story … with your future husband and with God, the lover of your soul.'</span></span></i></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Expectations</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One of my resolutions for 2019 was to seek more wisdom & to read more Christian books. Praying For My Future Husband was the first one I started with this year. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">First of all, I have started the Christy Miller series by Robin Jones Gunn, which is so far a pretty good middle grade/ YA book series for young christian girls from about 14 into young adolescence. I wished I had read those when I was younger. So I have some experience with the writing of one of the authors. I am curious to see what this book is going to be like & to see if it is truly grounded in God's Word.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I wasn't raised in a Christian home and really learned how to pray the last couple of years. Before that I would pray the Matthew 6 prayer. I was always afraid of doing it wrong and accidentally offending God. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore I was curious to see what guidelines Robn & Tricia give for this. </span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">Review</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was pleasantly surprised by this book, it is more a guide to let you think about what you think is important and doesn't really push their personal opinions, which I really like. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In each chapter both authors share a bit of a personal story, and then they give an example of a prayer for your future husband as well as a prayer for yourself. Each chapter ends with a series of questions you can either answer by writing in your journal, or discuss with friends or in small groups. All the advice in this book is backed up by bible verses, which was awesome. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I loved that the emphasis wasn't on finding your husband but on your personal development & relationship with God. I think this book can help a lot of young girls who may be confused about dating & relationships and can avoid a lot of unnecessary heartbreak. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Thinking about what kind of qualities you desire in your future husband also makes you reflect on your own character & encourages you to think what kind of a person you would want to become. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I didn't want to rush through this and really wanted to learn & pay attention. So I read one chapter a week and prayed those prayers during that week, before I continued with the next chapter. I found that this was a great way of going through the book, to really let the meaning of the words sink in & become a part of me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I also loved the last chapter, in which the authors have collected all important prayers, a prayer for each week in the year, along with a bible verse. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I would definitely recommend this to young girls who want to be thoughtful of what they want in a future husband and what is really important to look for. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>

I enjoyed the first two books, but I do wish Celeana would grow up a bit more. She can be pretty immature. I am curious to see where this story will go. </span></div>

</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In this book we get to see Celeana slowly turn into the person the actually is, Aelin. She has trouble connecting with her magic power and has a mentor who sortof tries to teach her how to get the control of her powers back. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Rowan and Aelins friendship has a rocky start and He seems very closed off. As they begin to train together it becomes obvious that he does not feel sorry for anyone easily. His goal is to get her back to her powers so he can go back to his boss, Maeve. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I liked the development in the friendship between Aelin and Rowan. Slowly they get to know one another and start to understand each other more and more. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The story was a bit confusing at times, especially the new magical parts and new creatures, but once I got into the story it was better to follow. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I liked that we got some chapters from other characters' perspective, like Chaol, Dorian and Aedion. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Aedion is an intriguing new character. You can definitely see the resemblance between him and Aelin. The more I read about him, the more I liked him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I really liked to read the parts about Manon! Loved the way Manon and Abraxos communicated :)</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I liked that we got to see bits of Aelins childhood at the court of her parents. In these bits we got to see just how close Aedion was to Aelin and how he felt very protective of her. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It was so cute to see little Dorian and little Aelin meet!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Rating</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I really enjoyed this one, and I hope this story continues to get better and we will see more development of all the characters we have seen so far :)</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Expectations</b></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Even though Celeana didn't make much sense to me in the first book (<a href="http://imlovingbooks.blogspot.com/2018/09/bookreview-throne-of-glass.html" target="_blank">Throne of Glass</a>), many people said this series will get better with the next couple of books. I am excited to discover what adventures will come next, now that the competition is over! I hope to see some character development.</span><br />

<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Spoiler free section:</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am glad to say that a lot of character development happened in this book for Celeana, which was so nice (and really needed to happen). We also get to see how the friendship between Celeana and Chaol develops and how Dorian changes as a person. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sara J Maas did a good job in Crown of Midnight transforming the story in Throne of Glass to a much bigger & more complex story. We slowly get to discover more about magical elements within this world. Overall I think the storytelling and writingstyle really improved in this second book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am curious and excited to see where the third book will take this story. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">WARNING: From now on this review will contain spoilers!</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Chaol and Celeana</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I liked to see the friendship of Chaol and Celeana develop further. Chaol seems to realize that he cares too much for Celeana to just be her friend and he seems to hate himself for it. He seems like he wishes he would feel this way towards her, but he can't help it. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I like Chaol in this book, I like to see the friendship between Chaol and Celeane develop more and more. Not only Chaol, but Celeana also realises she cares for Chaol and wouldn't know what to do without him.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I liked that when she was in need of help, the first person she thinks about was Chaol. And she is right, he is able to help her and because she is injured he only realises more how much he cares for her.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Don't get me wrong, I like Dorian too, but I like that we get to read more about Chaol and Celeana in this book. They have really build a strong friendship. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love that she feels more comfortable in Chaols room than in her own. Celeana, who can pretty much always protect herself, but she feels safe with Chaol. She even thinks about a future with him, she thinks about what a good man he is. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It is a very different foundation than the one she has with Dorian, which was based on attraction in the first place. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I do feel like Chaol and Celeana growing closer is just a temporary thing and I am guessing that the author is aiming for Dorian and Celeana to end up together eventually. What do you think?</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Chaol and celeana's close relationship got ripped apart quite brutally because of something Chaol had not told Celeana. I can imagine she is devastated when she saw what happened to Nehemia, but to keep blaiming Chaol was a bit harsh I think. He already blamed himself so badly, but he didn't know it would happen like this. He had no idea. He just put extra guards around her. He made a mistake by not telling Nehemia of Celeana about the threat ,but I thought her reaction was a little hash. She was definitely taking all her sadness about Nehemia and turning it into anger towards Chaol. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br clear="none" />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Story development</b></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In this book we read about the rebellion that people are forming against the king, and that there is one woman that is supposedly running this rebellion. I am curious to see how that will develop further. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Also the black rings the king, his advisor and Roland have must play a big role in his ruling, because we already read about the rings in book 1. they must have some sort of power. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So as I continued reading this got more and more interesting. This is definitely not a predictable book, while in the first book I could kind of guess that she would eventually become the champion. It was pretty obvious. Not this time, the only thing I think I am sure of is the Celeana is not going to die any time soon ( I assume that because there are 7 books in this series). Other than that I have no clue how this will go on or how it will end.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I really like were this story is going, the story about the three keys and the portal will probably take a big part in the next books in this series. I do begin to like Caleana little more than the first book (she can be annoying). </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love that Dorian now has powers! He is so freaked out about it, but I think it really adds a totally different dimension to the story and it will probably play a big part in the future books, because it seems like he has really big powers. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am starting Heir of fire very soon! (actually already started it haha)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Expectations</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I've been hearing a lot of praise about this series by Sarah J Maas, so I decided to check it out. The beginning of the synopsis sounds promising:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><i>'After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.'</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In general I enjoyed reading this. I enjoyed the competition part of the book and I wished we got to see more of the battles. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I liked the writing style and the world Sarah J Maas created. I like that we get to read from different perspectives. Loved that there was a map! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Overall I liked most of the characters, like Chaol and Dorian. I think the author does a good job of describing them. I am liking Chaol more than Dorian at the moment, but that might change. I like Dorian as well. Having said that, o</span><span style="font-size: large;">ur main character Celeana is not my favorite protagonist. </span><span style="font-size: large;">First of all I had some problems with her age, when she is only 18, she has spend a year in Endovier and is suppose to be the greatest assassin? I wish she would have been a bit older, around 22 maybe. But I get why the author made her 18, since young adult books are aimed at a younger audience. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There were a lot of moments in this book were Celeana doesn't hear someone standing at her door or entering her room. </span><span style="font-size: large;">One time she adjusts the locks on her bedroom door so she will hear when someone enters, a little later we see Chaol standing next to her bed when she is still sleeping. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Not so impressive for an assassin.. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Celeana has a lot of ups and downs, her uncontrollable anger wasn't my favorite characteristic either. </span><span style="font-size: large;">On the other hand she is one of those characters who doesn't make a lot of stupid decisions without thinking. For instance she doesn't just go into a secret doorway. When she discovered it, she went back into her own room and made a plan! So nice to read about characters that think before they act. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif; font-size: large;">Overall I liked the worldbuilding and the way the author introduced the world with some hints to magic being there. I am excited to discover what will happen next, where will this story go? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Rating</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">I am looking forward to see a lot of character development over the next books in this series. I am also curious if we get to read more about Celeana's history and her childhood. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'll give this book 3.5 stars out of 5. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Expectations</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I've heard great things about the writing of Agatha Christie and the many Murder Mystery books she has written. I am always fascinated by books that have been written a long time ago and are still good in our time. Can you believe this was first published in 1926!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am very curious to see if i will like her writing. I've never read a murder mystery so I'm also excited to see if this is a genre I would like to read more of.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Synopsis</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>'What more can a mystery addict desire than a much-loathed murder victim found aboard the luxurious Orient Express with multiple stab wounds, thirteen likely suspects, an incomparably brilliant detective in Hercule Poirot, and the most ingenious crime ever conceived?'</i></span></span><br />
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I listened to the audiobook. Really loved the narrator, he did so many accents so well! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I must say I really enjoyed thinking about all the possible murderers and going with Poirot on this adventure! </span>I loved the different characters and the entire investigation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Poirot is such a fun character. He really made me laugh out loud a couple of times. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I also liked the doctor and the boss of the traincompany. Their astonishment with Poirot's thinking was so much fun to listen to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Even though I tried to figure it out, I didn't expect that ending at all, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">which is always good in a murder mistery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I must say this book has made me interested in the genre and I am definitely reading more books in this genre in the near future!</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There has been several movies made about this story, one back in 1974 and a recent movie that came out in 2017. I am planning on doing a movie review on both of them! </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I enjoyed reading this and I would definitely recommend listening to the audiobook, the narrator is amazing! (she also voiced the other books in the Lunar Chronicles series).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The book consists of multiple short stories within the Lunar Chronicles world. Every story is about one of the characters we've got to know in the series. Most stories are about the past, some are about the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">First of all, I already read a couple of the short stories and reviewed them, like <a href="http://imlovingbooks.blogspot.nl/2017/03/bookreview-glitches-little-android.html" target="_blank">Glitches & the little Android</a>, <a href="http://imlovingbooks.blogspot.nl/2017/03/bookreview-queens-army-carswells-guide.html" target="_blank">The Queens Army & Carswell's guide to Being Lucky</a> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">, so this time I skipped over those. When you click on the titles above you can read my thoughts on those stories there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I enjoyed some short stories more than others. My favorite short story was definitely the last one. which was so perfect to me. It really moved me (don't worry, I won't spoil you).</span><br />
<br />

The writing style is very easy to read and the stories are so interesting! Also Marissa Meyer is great at showing character development and creating amazing characters you want to love (or hate). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I loved listening to the audiobook, which was done really amazing. I couldn't stop listening!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I really enjoyed Jonas as a character. Loved to see the relationship with the giver grow into grandfather-grandson like relationship. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The writing was so lovely, beautiful and captivating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The dystopian world Lowry created was very interesting, especailly considering it was written before all the dystopian books we know now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Loved the entire idea of this world. It really makes you think about evetything we see as normal, and if it is supposed to be like that. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It really gets you thinking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The only negative thing I have to say about this (<b>warning, spoiler!</b>) is about the ending. I was in shock that it ended so abruptly. What happened? Did Jonas die? I need to know! And I thought there was a sequel, but the next book tells a totally different story and doesn't continu this one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It left me totally speechless, but I guess there is some beauty in leaving it open like that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Have you read this ? If you have, let me know your thoughts on the ending!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I've heard a lot of praise about this series, so I'm curious to read what it's all about.</span><br />

Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer--they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"> </span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Review</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This was a quick summer read, which I enjoyed reading, although I think I would have loved it when I was younger. I kept thinking that the way the main character Isabella thinks is just the thing that gets girls in trouble with guys. She has this fairytale kind of story in her head about this boy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At the same time, I totally understand this can be very relatable for young girls. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was an easy read and I enjoyed the flashbacks to the different ages. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The dialogue was written well, which made the story flow nicely.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I really disliked her nickname Belly. I also found it pretty weird that even though Isabella really disliked the nickname too, people kept calling her Belly. I also disliked the idea that now that she 'turned pretty' the boys are more interested in her. Which suggests that they only care about her looks and not the person she is inside. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think my opinion of this series depends on how the story continues. For now it was an enjoyable, quick and easy summer read.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am curious to see what the next book will contain, especially because of what happened near the end of the book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I enjoyed listening to the audiobook. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The first part of the book was definitely my favorite. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I already new that Beth was going to die (because the tv-show friends spoiled me for that in the episode that Joey is reading this book). I think it was good that I already new this, because it would have destroyed me otherwise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I loved reading about the christmas early in the book. It really showed the characters of all the girls. I actually loved the friendship between Jo and Laurence. I also like that they didn't end up with each other. Jo just didn't feel that way about Laurence. I do wonder how Laurence thinks he can just be friends with the girl he fell in love with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I think what I liked the most was reading about the personal development of the girls. Amy's personal development was clear and nice to read about. She grows so much . </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Also really enjoyed Mary's growth, how she tries to balance her life with her children and husband. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I loved all the advice the mother gives to her daughters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I enjoyed listening to it, but I have to confess, the last part of the book was getting a bit dull for me. I think it would have taken me a lot longer if I read it in stead of listen to the audiobook.</span><br />
<br />

If you haven't read this series yet, do not read this review, because it will contain some <b><i>spoilers</i></b>. I would definitely recommend reading this series! </span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was a satisfying ending to a great series! I really liked this book. It was so action-packed! I loved the writing ( like all her books), although this book was very long, 823 pages!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Winter is an intriquing character, she was pretty unpredictable, I loved reading about her. I would have liked her to play a bigger part in the ending. She should have at least been there, at the last battle in the throne room! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Queen Levana was horrible to her too, so she should be there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I loved the communication between Thorne and Cress! So cute, they are definitely my favorite couple! Although I love Cinder and Kai too. Thorne is so funny, he made me laugh out loud more than once.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">It ended a bit too perfect for me, everyone survived and got their happy ending, but then again these are fairytale retellings so..</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">If I have to compare the four books, Cress would stille be my favorite, then Winter, Cinder and lastly Scarlet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I would definitely recommend this series! Enjoyed it a lot. I haven't read the novella's yet, I will read those soon :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This was an amazing read! My favorite in the Lunar Chronicles so far :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I really adore this book. It's full of action, fun conversation and lots of big plans. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I liked to read from the different perspectives within this book. So much happened in this book, let's talk :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">We get introduced with some new characters. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Cress is adorable. She dreams about a handsome boy coming to rescue her. But in reality, this doesn't really go the way she thought it would..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thorne is one of my favorite characters! I already liked him in <a href="http://imlovingbooks.blogspot.nl/2016/11/book-review-scarlet.html" target="_blank">Scarlet</a>, but after reading this, he is even more fabulous! I like him so much! I also thought that even though Thorne loosing his eyesight was really sad, this made it possible for him and Cress to really get to know each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I was scared for Scarlet when she was taken and it was so sad to see Wolf like that, like he couldn't live without her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thorne bringing Iko a new body was so nice of him, and Iko's reaction was priceless!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I did think Cress was very naive, but she had been in stuck in a sattellite for 7 years so what can you really expect..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I didn't see the plot twist coming about Docter Ehrland and Cress!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Cinder really got more confidence in this book. I loved her converstation with Kai at the end. I was a bit surprised Kai couldn't figure out that Cinder was who she was. She really had to spell it out for him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This was definitely the best book in the series so far, I really enjoyed it and recommend reading the Lunar Chronicles!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Scarlet is loosely based on Little red riding hood. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I loved the fact that Scarlet is French. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a really good job with all the accents, including this one!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In this book we get to meet a lot of great characters. Thorne is definitely one of my favorites! He is such a great character. He is funny, charming, full of himself and loyal. He is hilarious! I laughed out loud a couple of times!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I really liked the interactions between Thorne and Cinder. So funny!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Scarlet is a nice character, she is feisty (with her gun ;p) </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">but I missed really getting to know her. It felt like all we really got to see from her was her worrying about her grandmother and her interactions with Wolf. Maybe this will come later :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Some parts dragged on a bit, especially the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">parts were </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Scarlet was trying to find her grandmother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Can we just adore Iko for a moment. She was so disapointed when she discovered she was a ship! She is so much fun to read about. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I really loved the intertwining of the stories! Marissa Meyer did a great job with this!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm really curious to see what Cress is all about! So excited to read that one!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I've heard a lot of great things about The Lunar Chronicles. This series is loosely based on fairytales.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">I really enjoyed reading this! I especially loved listening to the audiobook! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">The story takes place in the future, where Cyborgs and Androids are part of society. Everyone is looking for a cure to the plague, brought to earth by the Lunars, the people who live on the moon! Lunars are ruled by their Queen Levana, who can manipulate almost everyone to get what she wants.</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Cinder is loosely based on Cinderella. With the emphasis on loosely, because Cinder is a kick-ass main-character. She is a cyborg & a very likable character. I was pleasantly surprised when she wasn't portrayed as a girly girl!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Also, she's a mechanic, and a very good one too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Cinder lives with her stepmom and two stepsisters. I loved that one of the stepsisters was actually kind to Cinder! In the beginning, the stepmother and other stepsister tollerated Cinder, but as the story continues, they treated her very poorly. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Now let's talk about Kai. Marissa Meyer did for sure turn the prince into a very charming, cute, caring, funny and kind person. I loved him!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">This futuristic world was very well developed and therefore easy to follow. Characters were very well described. This wasn't a cute, fairytale kind of story, which was one of the reasons why I liked it so much. The writer really tried not to be very cliché, and I think she succeeded!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">The only problem I had with this book was that the big plottwist was very predictable. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">I would really recommend reading or listening to this book! I've heard that the following books also intertwine the stories of previous characters, really love that idea. I can't wait to read the rest of this series!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Rating</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I'll rate it 4.5 stars!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Review</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This book entails the mission of our gang trying to save Jace. Clary decides to follow Jace to try to discover what Sebastian(Jonathan)'s plan is. She also gets to know her brother a bit more, which is very weird for her. She finds him very hard to read. What is real and what isn't ? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Meanwhile the rest tries to come up with a plan to break the bond between Jace and Jonathan without killing Jace.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The beginning of the book was similar to the fourth book, City of Fallen Angels. It was enjoyable, but not very spectacular and very slow. However, the last part was so fun to read, action packed and very suspenseful!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My love for Simon and Izzy is growing more and more! They are such an awesome couple. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I also liked Clary (most of the time), her character has really developed and she is much more mature now. Although she still makes some stupid decisions now and then..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I'm reading the last book, can't wait to see how this series is going to end!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Expectations</b></span></h3>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I cannot tell you how excited I was when I first heard this would be a real thing! I read it the day it came out (just writing a late review..)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">First of all, I think we should really look at this play as a separate book, not as the 8th Harry Potter book. It is a totally different book, not a continuation of the story. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Because of the script-form of writing, it reads very different. I felt like big chunks of information were missing, but maybe that's just because I'm not used to reading a script. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So ,besides from the different format, what did I think of this story?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Characters were not themselves. Ron was just added for comic relief, Hermione was strange and Harry would have never said what he said to his son Albus. Draco was described the most realistically from all old characters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Scorpius was by far my favorite character! So sweet, so funny & a really good friend to Albus. I also liked the friendship between them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The use of the time turner was interesting, as well as the alternate realities they created ( I was secretely hoping for a Hermione & Draco relationship in one of the alternate realities..)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Also, the were a lot of plot holes! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I'm very curious to know how they will actually perform this play on stage, knowing there are a lot of magical elements described. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">It was an enjoyable read, but not comparable to the rest of the series. Maybe I also had unrealistically high expectations.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Rating</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I'll give it 2,5 (maybe 3) stars.</span><br />
