The book begins in the format of email writing of two teens that met each other during the
summer break. Izzy and Connor kept in contact only through writing email and it begins with
showing that these two teenagers trying to discover their sexuality alongside some other
things that goes on in their lives. At first, the book talks about two teens trying everything
they could think of but it was more than that. It talks about the topic everyone used to shy
away from and hard to put forth. Nonetheless, the book stayed away from trigger words for
those with mental health. It only used the term “suicide” once and mentioned that the word
itself is a taboo among them. The book is not afraid to show the reality of having a bi-polar
personality. The author did this book a justice by not giving it a proper ending. It has an open
ending and it was just right. There is no end to a mental health journey after all. This book is
a good read if someone wants to try and understand ways they could approach a friend who
have such problems.

The book has a neatly written grammar that is not hard to follow. The story follows a woman
that has gotten her life in a predicament to the point she received a special letter informing
her that she has the opportunity to meet her ‘Life’. In this book, a person ‘Life’ is represented
as a human. Lucy, the woman that received the letter was able to meet her ‘Life’ face to face
in flesh and blood. She found the man representing her ‘Life’ looking haggard and unhealthy
but slowly he guides her as best he could in correcting the choices she made for herself. The
story is written in a casual tone with occasional jokes found from time to time. By the end of
the book, Lucy finally got her ‘Life’ together and the man representing her ‘Life’ has turned
into a healthy handsome man. It also signifies that their time together had ended. It is an
experience everyone would want at least once in their lifetime in hope to turn things around.
This story is telling everyone that you have the ability to fix your life only if you want to do it.

This book is interesting in a way that it actually speaks in flowery language in order to talk
about the government. Others may think that this book is only fictional and nothing more
than a past time but this book is far deeper than that. The story shows that surviving is
important and people love the idea of ‘love’ itself regardless if it is true. Everyone wants to
watch a show even if it is something as cruel as fighting each other to the death. Katniss is a
character that symbolises the rebellion against the government. She does not want to be
another puppet and was willing to put forth everything in order to win. By the end of this
book, betrayal was not something to be shocked about as it is normal now.

This book shares a perspective on zombie apocalypse or “the end of the world” through the
eyes of an abused girl who no longer wants to live. It is written in the simplest way it could by
sharing it through the point of view of a teenage girl. The ease of reading allows the readers
to be able to follow the storyline as easy as breathing. The story talks about the point of
living as the girl seeks the answer. She tries to find reason in her life while the world is in
chaos. The truth is shared through the fact that happiness does not come easy as you will
continue losing the people close to you especially during the end of time where everyone is
trying to eat you. The story is heart wrenching that will tear the readers into halves. Readers
of this book might need to be mentally prepared for a downhill ride of emotions.

This book put humanity on its hardest test as the war between the rebellion and the
government comes to an end here. Katniss was put in a situation that she hated as she
questioned herself who had she become by the end of it all. She has lost her dear sister
during the war and now wonders what to do with herself. She finds herself going back to
Peeta and decides that maybe settling down with him and goes back to their root in district
12. War is never pretty nor have a happy ending. It only leaves people the feeling of loss and
dread but humans will continue to rebuild themselves and history may repeat itself unless
they learn from their past mistakes. This book has so much questioned the reliability of the
government and even if we rebel and fight for the change, will anything change? That is a
question that one might have to take to find out.

This book contains several gruesome short stories relating to cannibalism and other
mysteries. Each story always have an interesting twist at the end that put the readers in
shock. The stories in this book shows a darker side of human that would not be acceptable
in the modern day society. These people are looked down upon because they would murder
and even eat the flesh of another human beings. The writing style of this book is casual and
everyone can easily follow from one story to another. The writer is a Malaysian writer and it
sets a new precedent to the type of stories that Malaysia author can produce. It is interesting
and highly inspiring.

This was absolutely fantastic. Funny, sad, deeply anger-inducing, warm and fuzzy by turns.
Steeped in Malaysian mythology, which sounds purely amazing, as well as Chinese and
some English, and written in switching voices with loads of Malay-English and no
concessions to non-speakers so you just have to immerse yourself. It is an interesting take
on the mythology that surrounds Malaysia. Stories that have been passed over from
generations to another are being told in the most interesting way possible.
