How I escaped a girl gang by Chyna (book 71/100)
"From a young age, Chyna saw people all around her in gangs. They had the status, the look and the money. So when girls from a rival school started to bully Chyna and her friends, they decided to take control in the only way they knew how.
But the deeper Chyna got into this world, as she became involved with boys and fell in love, the more she discovered the dark side- the vicious drug dealers, the beatings, the guns.
It would take a devastating tragedy- one that ripped apart her world- before Chyna found the courage to leave gangland behind once and for all."
My rating: 5.5/10
My Comment: This book was crazy. Although I did not enjoy it, the pacing was too slow for me
A sense of an ending by Julian Barnes (book 72/100)
"Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affections in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious that the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life. Now Tony is retired. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove.
My rating: 7/10
