“I’ve got your number” from Sophie Kinsella

I gave 5/5

Poppy Wyatt is going to be married to Magnus Lavish . She has a beautiful engagement ring which come from the Lavishes family . But what happened ? She lost it in a reception in a hotel . She looked for it until the hotel staff told her they will ring to her .But another problem while going out of the hotel someone steals her mobile. What is she going to do ? while she is searching her ring, she finally looks in a bin and what’s in the a mobile phone !! So she decides to take the mobile as it is in the bin it is for her nobody will claim for it. And she will be able to give her number to the hotel staff again. But no the phone beeps and it’s a man who wonders who is at the other hand of the line .But Sam Roxton truly wants his company phone back . He agrees to let the phone to Poppy for a few days due to the problem . And then the difficult relationship between Poppy and Sam will start ..Poppy can’t stop reading Sam’s emails and Sam doesn’t like it .. On the other side, the relation with the Lavishes is not really nice. Poppy feels that she is not at the same level as them and she wonders how she will going to deal with that Poppy is a special person . She wants to help and to be recognized . She is always nice. I really appreciate her Sam at the beginning was a bit rude to Poppy but we understand his point of view it’s a company mobile phone and business he doesn’t want everyone to know what happened in his firm . I really love how he changes during the book and understand that he was a bit wrong. I didn’t really like Magnus. He is not trustful and I won’t even trust someone like him. I really love Sophie Kinsella stand alone book . It’s was laughing out loud while reading : So hilarious . We follow all Poppy adventure with fun . It’s really hard to put the book down . I was used to Becky Bloomwood but I also like Poppy . Sophie Kinsella did a great job .Her book is full of fun, love, crisis, footnotes (don’t miss them they are funny ), misunderstanding and all of that just before Poopy’s wedding ..i wished I would have a life like that .. Must be read book ;)

Book review : lovely bones by Alice Sebold

I gave 5/5 This is the story of Susie Salmon, salmon like the fish as she said . She has been murdered on her way back from school in her teens . She was on the way to have a boyfriend Ray a beautiful Indian guy and to discover life and her murderer mr Harvey stole that to her . She is between earth and heaven as she doesn’t want to leave her family and friends and Mr Harvey . She wants to see if he could be caught by the police . We saw Susie watching all her family for several years and to see how they cope with this loss . Susie’s father is the most affected as he used to play a lot with his daughter . Susie has one sister Lindsey and one brother Buckley . There is also Ruth the one who have contacts with dead people and who feel Susie when she is close to her .. Will Susie succeed in going to heaven and to left her life on earth ? How will her family and friends will cope with her death during all the book ? How Susie will cope in not having the chance to live her first love and all that Mr Harvey stole to her? I found this book heart taking but I’ve loved it .Susie talks during all the book and listen .So we know all about her thoughts and regrets but also her joy to see her sister living her own life . But she always thinks that she should have discovered life before her as she was the oldest one . I love Susie character a lot she is honest really sensitive and down to earth .She doesn’t want to lose her objective : that the police caught Mr Harvey and that she won’t be able to kill other girls as she wasn’t the first one . I also love her father and Lindsey a lot they never stop searching what happened to Susie . It was my first book of Alice Sebold Concerning the book and the film: the book is much more detailed and much more longer than the film . Sometimes the film doesn’t fit at all the book and I found that bad . But the film was good too. So I’ve seen the film first and I was happy to have a face to put on the characters I would recommend you to read the book first and see the movie after
