The Vamps - Shout About It

Has absolutely nothing to do with writing whatsoever, but I couldn't help myself. It's a great song.

6 Study Help Websites

Now, I know this isn't a blog about studying, its about books and writing, but I believe studying is somewhat involved in both those things. This may be the most serious post I've ever made on this blog, but please bear with me.  My exams are coming up, so I decided to share my top 6 study websites that I use.  Keep in mind, I am a GCE O'Level student, so these may be more useful for O'level students, but I think everyone can use these nevertheless.  1.  GCE Study Buddy This website is probably the most useful one for me. It provides study notes, summarized and made into easy-to-understand formats, with mindmaps, and questions. It may not look the best, and maybe my summary may not sound too interesting, but it has helped me and lots of my friends a lot. There is an incredibly wide range of subjects, and I always find what I'm looking for, no matter how specific. 2.  My Study Life This is a website I'm sure many of you can use. It's like a paper pl...

Book Review : The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman

Image
SPOILERS!! .... (well, duh) For my birthday this month, I received a few books to add to my shelf (including the entire set of The Hunger Games - I had to brag about that in here somewhere). The Graveyard Book was one of them, and it was up high in my reading list as well. So, when I got it, I was thrilled. However, the result wasn't what I expected.  The book takes you on a journey through Nobody Owens's life in a graveyard, where he is being brought up by the ghosts residing there. When he was just a baby, his entire family is killed by a man called Jack, and he was the only survivor. He had toddled up a hill and entered the graveyard, not knowing what had happened to his family, not knowing how much his life was about to change.

Book Review : The Kite Runner

Image
NO SPOILERS. I read this book at midnight in one sitting. Didn't put it down once. I didn't even notice the tears silently running down my face when I finished.  The Kite Runner is a moving story about the friendship between two boys, the hardships one has to face, regrets, love, and redemption.  There is Amir, a rich boy with all the luxury one can have in life, and there is Hassan, the servant boy in Amir's household, living in a mere broken down shack behind Amir's mansion. These two boys have a strong bond. Hassan is willing to do anything for Amir. One day, this loyalty Hassan has for Amir changes both their lives.  It is so touching, so moving. I can't even exaggerate with this book. I have read Hosseini's 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' as well (review on that coming soon), but personally, Kite Runner is the champion. None of Hosseini's other books can beat the position this book has in my heart.  The writing style, the plot line, ev...
