terrible It's the second in the series, and a fantastic YA read,
Hi!
This is from my blog, sitelinkwww, blogofabookaholic. blogspot. com! So head over to read my other reviews! :
One Word: WOW! I absolutely loved this book! The cover is really funky and modern and I think it will attract teenagers to picking up this book and reading it, even better, the book itself is BRILLIANT.
The instant I read the very first word on the ivory page I was hooked, The author, by writing just a couple of sentences, lets you know that this is going to be a good book, a great book.
She draws you in, which I find is very important when reading and writing a book, You could immediately immerse yourself in AprilMay February's The main character world, She is spunky, interesting and smart, three characteristics I LOVE in the main character of a book.
I loved how she could be quirky and funny and smart, all at the same time,
The plot was brilliant! It was a constant adventure that kept you guessing and turning the pages.
Every time one of the chapters finished, it would leave you on a cliffhanger, URGENTLY needing to read the next chapter.
Another aspect I loved about Melly, Fatty and Me was that it is based in South Africa, which was lovely that I was able to familiarize myself with the book.
I also found a few South African words in there and I would just smile when I read them,like braaing, gemors and boep.
They also talked about Pretoria and Johannesburg a place where I have previously lived and some of the places I went to were also mentioned in the book e.
g. Gold Reef City! :
It was just a really lovely, sweet book about a spunky girl, her nosebreathing friend Melly Melanie, the new bursary kid, Fatty Ericca Ntona/Eric Catona and bad boy Sebastian Bas.
You don't often get Young Adult books these days that aren't gory or about werewolves and vampires and this was a really nice change.
If you want to read a book written by a fellow South African, then all South Africans, read this.
If you want to read this book and you're overseas, READ this, you can learn a lot about South Africa from it!
I really enjoyed this book and I think you would be quite silly to miss out on such a good read!
