The Girl is Murder

The Girl Is Murder is a book about a girl named Iris in the 1940's who used to have a very privileged life but her life changed after her mother's inheritance ran out. Her father works as a private detective. Iris found out he had a case about one of the boys at her school, and trys to help him solve it without telling him. I thought this book was very interesting. There were so many plot twists that I did not expect at all. However some parts dragged on too long, especially in the beginning. The ending made up for that and I will definitely be reading the sequel.

Review of The Princess Bride, by William Goldman

In this story, a man previously thought dead returns to save his love from an evil prince and his count. I really

loved this book because everything about it is good. The characters are funny, unique and interesting. The plot is suspenseful and well-written. The writing is unique (the author injects his own comments) and switches seamlessly between funny and sad. I would heavily recommend this book if you have not read it yet. I rate The Princess Bride 10/10 (Side Note: Despite the title, the book is not a Disney themed, lighthearted romantic comedy.)

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, by Mackenzi Lee

An ultimate story finding oneself, love, and adventure, set in 18th century Europe, Mackenzie Lee spins a hilarious tale in The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue. Henry (Monty) Montague is your stereotypical sarcastic and privileged frat-boy with daddy issues who is also inexplicably in love with his childhood best friend. Not deterred by the racist and homophobic nature of society at the time, Monty suffers the effects of unrequited love, whilst dealing with his expulsion from Eton, a prestigious academy, and the arrival of his infant brother, “the Goblin.” His partying antics are suddenly halted as his inheritance, which he has to this point taken for granted, is in jeopardy. Embarking on his “last hurrah,” Monty goes to tour Europe and is determined to make it spectacular. It was unputdownable (ask Larissa--I accidently crushed her banana) and I abso-bloody-lutely recommend it.
