I don't often write on this blog about matters concerning celebrations or festivities however I have felt my blog has really developed over this year and I want to thank you.

Although this is a little (quite a bit) late, I would love to wish all of you a Merry Christmas (or happy holidays if you don't celebrate) and now a very happy new year. Make sure you continue reading throughout next year and have the best time possible!

 Festive Greetings to my fellow Pageflicker's - Christmas is right around the corner! As you know this time of year is rather hectic and I have been extremely busy being Secret Santa presents and decorations however cannot wait to upload as many post as possible! Comment down below for any reading suggestions!

Borrowing this book from the library was a great decision - the cover itself looked intriguing and an integral part of this book's originality is its style of writing. In the beginning, we were lead through the life of a young girl called Rose, who whilst attempting to find her bicycle, discovered a monumental mechanical hand which would continue to be a key part of the story. Oblivious to the sheer significance of this discovery, Rose continued to live here life. Fast forward 17 years and she is now a gifted Physicist, working on how these pieces come together - their purpose and origin. 

As you may already know, I love science fiction and this book lived up to my desire for this field of literature. It delivered a fine balance between believable and whimsical which ensured I was gripped throughout the novel. The plot itself was written at the right pace however because it was written in a report style, there was sometimes a lack in climatic build up. Although occasionally it was difficult to get a solely independent insight from one character the infrequent personal diary entries helped to combat this. I really did enjoy this style - it beautifully unravelled layers of the character to show their true personality. The responses, description and attitude towards the reporter showed us the traits and actions of the protagonists. Furthermore, it felt like the book flowed with greater ease and fluidity - instead of plain chunks of paragraphs there was input from the person asking questions and the other stating a response.  

In a nutshell, I would definitely recommend this book to ages 12-15, in my opinion this is a must read for science fiction lovers. i would rate this book 4/5.

Hope all of you have a merry Christmas and
