Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson

Today's review is on:

The back reads:

You couldn't kill your parents...

could you?

Tandy Angel is a whip-smart prodigy and a magnificently wealthy heiress.

She's got secrets - some even she doesn't understand.

She's damaged, the product of her parents' impossible demands.

But she couldn't have killed them...

could she?

This book is about Tandy and her brothers' (Matthew, Harry, and Hugo) fight to try to figure out who had killed their parents, even if it was one of them. Gotta say, the ending took me completely by surprise. I was still trying to figure it out when they revealed who had killed Malcolm and Maud Angel. It blew my mind!

(^Can't stop watching this lol)

The other thing I loved about this book is that it really showed how many secrets we can keep from family over time (A LOT!). The web of lies never stopped! Even after the book was done, there still was things that weren't completely explained! That makes for a good series, readers.

I also liked how they didn't make it sound like this was just a book that an author thought about one day in the shower, but made it into a sort of journal with confessions in between mind-gripping chapters.

My favorite part? (page 8):

"... I quickly tamped down the screaming voice inside my head and collected my wits, along with a few available facts.

One: My parents had died in some unspeakable way.

Two: Someone had known about their deaths and called the police.

Three: Our doors were locked, and there had been no obvious break-in. Aside from me, my brothers Harry and Hugo and my mother's personal assistant, Samantha, were the only ones home."

OOH. Chills!

In the end, this book was a page-turner mystery that held on to you even after you finished reading. The only bad part about this book was that the sequel hasn't come out yet!

Well, that's all for today! Catch you in the next one!

An introduction and Earthsea: A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

Hello, readers! :)

My name is Sea-Solo (a pen name, obviously), and I hope to review books that I've read on this blog, and also do book-related things.

Today's book review is on:

The back reads:

Ged was the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea. But he was once called Sparrowhawk, a reckless youth, hungry for power and knowledge, who tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance.

This book is about a wizard of Earthsea named Sparrowhawk. I'm sure those of you who have seen the movie created by studio Ghibli will be squealing, I expect, because the movie is so good, but you didn't really get that much into Sparrowhawk's story of how he became a wizard, how he got his legendary scars, and how he got to be who he was in Tales From Earthsea (which just so happens to be the 5th book in this series).

What I find funny is when you read the afterword in the back, you will see that Ursula K. Le Guin didn't want to write a teenage book when the publisher asked her to. She says that it was the idea of writing with a specific audience in mind that scared her. The only well-known fantasy books that were out when she started to write the Earthsea series was J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. A Wizard of Earthsea was the first of its kind.

I would reccomend this book to high school readers and adults, because even though it is short, it is as well worded as The Hobbit or any other adult fantasy novel.

Well, that's all for today! Catch you in the next one!
