Review: A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle by John Green

On December 23, 2016December 23, 2016 By Beth JonesIn Book ReviewLeave a comment

Hi everyone and welcome to the second of three posts for the next two days! Counting down to Christmas, Pete and I are posting our reviews for the three short stories that make up Let It Snow by John Green, Lauren Myracle and Maureen Johnson.

Today’s review is for the second story of Let It Snow, A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle by John Green. Would you rather be snowed in with your best friends watching movies? Or in a Waffle House with 14 cheerleaders practicing lifts? Tobin and JP prefer the cheerleaders right away, but the Duke (Angie, in other words) is all for watching James Bond. After an adventure in the snow, Tobin and JP get their wishes…but Tobin also gets the surprise of his life. A sweet story of love and hash browns, what will Tobin receive this Christmas?

Beth’s Review

I have to admit something before we start. I kind of hold grudges against John Green. It all started with The Fault in Our Stars, which I can’t help thinking was horribly overrated. My thoughts kind of picked up with Paper Towns, where I happened to be one of the only people who loved it. Looking For Alaska was similar – I couldn’t help being captivated. But it all went to rock-bottom when I got around to An Abundance of Katherine’s.

Since then, I have to admit I haven’t looked at this author in a great light. And unfortunately after this story, I’m now just thinking even worse. To put it pessimistically, this book could have been written by anyone else who has read (and studied the trends in) John Green books. It had a guy who would do absolutely anything for the girl he’s suddenly in love with (for no apparent reason). It had a girl who didn’t really do anything but suddenly has a guy after her (sorry, Angie). It even had the random Asian friend who always seems to be thrown in simply to be Politically Correct. The love is instant, with hardly any hesitation or excitement. Overall, to put it simply, it’s started pi**ing me off big time. With all that aside let’s get it over with, and discuss the things I really didn’t like about this story.

♥ Normal, relatable characters being glorified by exotic names and an adventure
♥ A cliche, easy-to-predict plot♥ A very simple love story with no guessing or surprise

So as you can see, I was pretty disappointed with this story overall. Did I like anything? It may not sound like it, but I did! I promise! So let’s go back to listing and discuss what I enjoyed.

♥ The setting! As with the first story, the setting suited the plot and made it kind of exciting. But at the same time, is this Christmas? Kinda, I guess. But it’s more winter than Christmas…I could have easily forgotten it was Christmas Eve as it was hardly mentioned at all!
♥ A lot of little quirks and creative tweaks I would never be able to think up. There was a lot of cool (no pun intended) moments in the snow…including sliding down a bank to race to a Waffle Jouse

With all John Green annoyances aside, I have to say I can’t help but admit this one is a cutesy, easy read. I still sped through it, even with the anger. I wouldn’t recommend it as much as the first story in Let It Snow, but I still enjoyed it in a very cheesy way.

Pete’s Review

A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle is John Green’s answer to the question: How can we make a group of normal teen’s lives interesting at Christmas and turn it into a book. Vague sexism and fast food of course!

So, the thing is me and Green have this weird dysfunctional relationship that he doesn’t actually know we’re in. I have read nearly all of his books and all of them have left me with a feeling of wait what was that? They aren’t shocking, they are just kind of incredibly ridiculous.

I did not hate A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle, I liked it in some ways much more than the Jubilee Express but it was just so randomly directionless that I will not be able to ever say that I loved it. The character’s mission is based upon a weirdly sexist idea that generally made me feel very uncomfortable. On top of that I couldn’t help thinking through the whole story: Why are they even doing this? Like seriously? What is the point? Green wove together multiple strands of seemingly random pieces of fiction and decided that it could maybe be a book. There was little explainable motive but the story was definitely fast paced.

Aside from the jumbled and very partially misogynistic plot the characters were definitely the stars of this story. Every single one them was unique and genuinely interesting. There is always a quite frankly terrifying danger with John Green’s books that I’ll hate the main character (I try to forget the dark days of An Abundance Of Katherine’s) but Tobin was actually quite brilliant. He did not moan, he felt like a real person and he wasn’t a massive dickhead. We can brush aside the constant misunderstandings between him and The Duke (again with these ridiculous names, The Duke, seriously?) and cast them off as a simple device used to prolong YA romances. If everyone understood exactly how everyone else was feeling in YA novels there would be no awkward teen affection or justifiable insta-love just like in this story. JP provided that refreshing American comical relief to the direness of their situation and the friends as a unit felt very life like in their incessant banter.

Despite the contemporary genre this book is placed in, there was a commendable amount of action in the story, which was more than welcomed and kept me on the edge of a hypothetical seat (I always read lying down). As I previously mentioned the romance did have under tones of insta love but it was definitely justifiable insta-love that wasn’t really that instant. A little let down was the lack of Christmas in this story. We were told at the start that Tobin’s parents wouldn’t be home for the holidays and we were reminded sporadically throughout that it was Christmas Eve going into Christmas day but there was little in the way of festive spirit. We all already know that John Green is a good writer so it was already a given that things like pacing and prose would be squeaky clean and the linking of settings to The Jubilee Express was well appreciated.

The book felt like I was sitting at the back of the cinema watching a film with only three other people one of whom was munching and slapping his lips together like a crazy person. It was quite enjoyable but also quite uncomfortable. I gave it a 3.6 out of 5 stars but you can decide yourself how much you like it when you read it because who can resist the lovable and beautiful pixie teens of John Green’s stories?

Keep on reading

And thanks again Beth

What did you think of this story?

P.S. Merry Christmas Eve Eve from us both!

Hi! I’m new here

On December 11, 2016December 11, 2016 By paperbackpeteIn Pete5 Comments

Hello, I’m new here.

You might be wondering where Beth has gone and why this random guy called Pete has started posting on her blog. Well…

It’s because she was kind enough to let me, paperbackpete, be a guest blogger here on The Books Are Everywhere once a week!

Thank you so much Beth, this is really exciting for me and I hope I can bring something new to this already wonderful, fabulous and quite frankly dazzling blog.

I am, despite apparently looking like I’m 22, 16 years old. Pete Miller is my name and I honestly wish it was something cooler. I read two books a week, Lana Del Rey is my adoptive mother and I really wish I could get a dog. Even though I’m probably pants at it I really like to draw and I actually don’t mind being alone- I quite like it sometimes. Please never ask me about my future because it really is a source of great freakout for me but any other comments are welcome, of course. Because we’re all massive book nerds I know the question that will be brewing in many of your minds at the moment- The Perks of Being a Wallflower is my favourite book and no sadly I have not read Harry Potter. I am a feminist, I love Chinese food and I always say thank you.

Maybe you’ll now be able to form some sort of idea of the kind of person I am. If not, book obsessed, anime watching artist is somewhere along the right lines.

I will, like today, be posting on the blog every Sunday. It could be anything from a Book Review to some fan art that I don’t feel is too terrible to show the general public.

Let me know what you think of my first ever blog post and be brutal! I think (hope) I can handle it.

Here is some fan art I did of Mira, one of the main characters in the book Fans of The Impossible Life which you should definitely read (it’s beautiful).

I haven’t thought of a funny or cute goodbye yet so I’ll leave you with a simple:

See you later!

And thanks again Beth!

Review: Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

On December 8, 2016 By Beth JonesIn Book Review10 Comments

23395680

Goodreads | Amazon

This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do.
This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.
But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet’s AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it’s clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never speak to again.

I was so hesitant to read this book for two reasons:

★ It’s SO HYPED! Literally, at the start of the year I was seeing this EVERYWHERE.
★ I hardly ever read sci-fi! Seriously, I think I’ve only read Across the Universe & Hitchhikers.

So for both of those reasons, I was so hesitant to finally pick this one up. But when it was suggested for our last month book-club choice I was very intrigued!

“You have me.

I’m not sure where to even start with this novel, but I’m going to try and describe it the best I can. Let’s start with the characters.

One of the most amazing things about Illuminae is the way the authors completely manipulated us into thinking what we basically shouldn’t be thinking. We shouldn’t like an AI who has killed 2000 people. In fact, we do go through most of the book with AIDAN as our enemy. So why, oh why, could we possibly suddenly like it? But that’s the thing with really good books – they surprise you into suddenly thinking things you never thought you would.

Another point I’d like to make is the very believable sci-fi! I love how this book was so modern and centered around only a few main characters – it actually made the book have a contemporary realistic vibe as well as very science-y.

Until ever last star in the galaxy dies.

I could go on and on about how amazing this book is and why I loved so much of it, but I’m going to just make a few random pointers before I go!

★ There was some amazing poetic parts in this very scientific book! I’d love to quote it over and over, hence the quoting throughout this review (what do you think of it, by the way?).
★ I liked the second half of this book so much more than the first. I think it was the fact that there was so much more to keep track of in the first half that I just found it very overwhelming. I preferred it a lot when it was just Kady and AIDAN to focus on.

And one last thing…Amie and Jay did an amazing thing with this book that many YA novels don’t. They dumped the rule book. They burned it, and held it up for all to see. That is such a refreshing and brave idea, and I admire them so much for it.

You have me.”

Bookworm out.

Review: Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven

On November 22, 2016November 22, 2016 By Beth JonesIn Book Review3 Comments

28686840
Goodreads | Amazon

If I could create a tagline for this book, it would be simple: ‘All the Bright Places broke my heart. Holding Up the Universe put it back together’.

I’m sure any fans of Jennifer will have had their heart broken by her, just like I did. But even though she broke my heart, All the Bright Places is one of my absolute favourite books in YA! Even heartbreaking books can be beautiful.

But I’m still very happy to say that this time, Jennifer Niven kept my heart in tact – but still created an absolutely incredible novel I shed tears at! Now before I go on, please know that this is going to be a half-rant, and totally savage. No, not at the book. At those that appear to hate it.

Okay, so for one..people need to stop hating on this novel without knowing the full facts! Yeah, books aren’t for everyone. Nothing is! But people saying Jennifer Niven “didn’t do her research” and all of the mental illness stuff is just “window dressing” (*rolls eyes*) can honestly go f*** themselves. I personally know (from having MET AND SPOKE TO HER), that Jennifer did so much background research (including talking to sufferers, doctors, family, friends and professionals about what Libby and Jack are going through (oh, and having it edited by someone with Jack’s condition!)) for this novel that there is absolutely no possibility that could be window dressing. It’s what defines the characters for who they really are. It’s their thoughts and feelings. It’s what shapes them as not just a character, but a real person.

I have suffered from so much anxiety throughout my life that I know how well Jennifer Niven portrayed it in this novel. I know how it feels to not feel like you’re wanted or loved or necessary…what an amazing thing it is that someone came out with a novel to challenge that. How f***ing awesome.

How can people not like a novel that is basically one big metaphor for the fact that every single person is wanted and needed? How can someone not like the fact that a fat girl had the guts to stand in a purple bikini and show everyone how epic she is? Sure, it’s a high school romance, but there is no way I’m going to admit it’s cliche. If something is cliche, I’d say I knew everything that was going to happen in the book (*cough* An Abundance of Katherine’s *cough*). But no, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. This isn’t just any popular-guy-meets-antisocial-girl novel. This isn’t just any novel.

This novel is a giant middle finger to bullies.

This is exactly what the world needs more of. If everyone was a Jennifer Niven, the world would be a much better place.

I want to go on and on about how awesome this book was and how much I loved it, but I’ll spare you the details and just make a few pointers instead:

LIBBY. YOU ARE AWESOME! The two main characters in this book were amazing because they learned to not be ashamed of who they are (among many more things like dancing and We Have Always Lived in the Castle and writing on shoes and standing up for what you believe in etc).
Can I have a purple bikini too?
This book was relatable. To anyone who has suffered from feeling left out (which I’m sure we all have), this book is totally relatable. It doesn’t matter if you’re a size 0 and reading about a fat (ugh, how I hate the term ‘fat’) girl. It doesn’t matter that Jack has a rare condition not many readers will have. It’s still relatable.
This seems like a pathetic thing to say after all the other massive rant-y style things I’ve said, but it’s a really easy read. The pages just flew by!
READ THE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. They made me cry!

I don’t think I need to say ‘I give this book 5 stars’, because it’s obvious I think of it as much higher than that, worth so much more. But for the sake of Goodreads, I rate this book 5 massive stars.

Oh, and if anyone thinks I’m wrong and wants to argue about this? I’m prepared to fight. Come at me.

Review: Looking Glass Girl by Cathy Cassidy

On November 8, 2016 By Beth JonesIn Book Review2 Comments

Goodreads | Amazon

Alice nearly didn’t go to the sleepover. Why would Savvy, queen of the school, invite someone like her?

Now Alice is lying unconscious in a hospital bed.

Lost in a wonderland of dreams and half-formed memories, she’s surrounded by voices – the doctor, her worried friends and Luke, whose kisses the night of the fall took her by surprise . . .

When the accident happened her world vanished – can Alice ever find her way back?

Welcome to day 8 of NaBloPoMo, and I haven’t missed a day yet! This is the first review of the month, however.

Re-imaginings are always difficult to get right, and people tend to have a love/hate relationship with them. But I have to say, Cathy got it spot on!

This book was utterly captivating. Even for me, who has been in a reading slump for months that I rarely appear to get out of…this one pulled me out, if only for a day. Yes, I said a day. I sped through those 275 pages quicker than I expected!

I love the casual twists and turns this book took, and the hint of Wonderland wasn’t too heavy throughout. It headed in the perfect direction, interweaving a teenage friendship with the fantasy world of Wonderland.

I also loved the fact that this book closely followed a difficult friendship, and didn’t include too much romance. The hint was more than enough, and gave the book a unique feel.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book! It was so intriguing and heartwarming at the same time – showing the strength of true friends. A really great read and one I’d definitely recommend for 9+, but teenagers too!

Review: Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer

On October 20, 2016October 20, 2016 By Beth JonesIn Book Review1 Comment

Goodreads | Amazon

As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob – knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

I have a feeling my review for Eclipse is going to be similar for my review to New Moon. I still adore Twilight, but my love for this franchise is being lowered by the pure length of these books. Honestly, I kind of understand why they’re so long – the movies are obvious evidence of what happens when they are shortened…but there does appear to be a lot of back and forth.

In the end, Bella seems very confused. I know that’s the point of the book, but it can get a little drawn out and frustrating when she simply can’t decide in her own head what even SHE wants to happen.

The thing I’ve always admired about these books is the ability for the reader to feel close to Bella – and I still did in this book…just not quite as much as I have before. So unfortunately, I’m going to have to give this book…

Review: New Moon by Stephanie Meyer

On October 7, 2016October 7, 2016 By Beth JonesIn Book Review1 Comment

49041

Goodreads | Amazon

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella could ever have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning…

This review is likely to focus on two things.

I still love Twilight
This book was boring

Well, I maybe don’t mean that as harsh as it sounds. I still adore this book and I still couldn’t stop flicking those pages past and past until I actually really had to get out of bed.

I also found myself being very emotionally connected to this book – and I again added to my bath towards the end of it!

But one thing really annoyed me…I just felt like a lot of the pages were kind of wasted. Like whole chapters would go past without not much happening.

And I couldn’t help but miss (slight spoilers) Edward…I get why Jacob had to be the main focus of this book, I really do. But I would have liked a little more focus on the one Bella (okay and maybe me) loves so much.

Before I go, let’s just discuss the whole near-death experience thing. Stephanie has girl-balls to include that, doesn’t she? Wanna hear your loved one? Try to kill yourself!

Now this should be wrong. This should be so wrong I should be so irritated right now. And if it was any other book, maybe I would be. But I just can’t…because you know what? Stephanie still has my heart. And to be honest, I don’t think I’m ever going to get it back.

Review: Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

On September 29, 2016October 7, 2016 By Beth JonesIn Book Review1 Comment

41865
Goodreads | Amazon

When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.

What Bella doesn’t realize is the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And, it might be too late to turn back….

Help me! I’M ADDICTED TO TWILIGHT!!

Okay, so I went into these books very, very uncertain. You see, I’ve heard good and bad about these books…but mostly bad. And as much as I wanted to read them, I didn’t want to suffer 4 awful books to make up my mind.

But I’ve surprised myself a lot. I’m a sucker for a good love story, and here we go. Stephanie Meyer has put one in front of me and I can’t help but love her for it.

But…as with everyone else seems to, I have annoyances. Firstly, why do the vampires SPARKLE?! As lovely as this must be, okay it’s weird. It’s not wrong…and I kind of like it I think? But still, it’s taken some getting used to.

But honestly? At this point, people should get over the fact Bella is just a hormonal teenager who happens to be in love. Maybe that’s just me being able to relate to her pretty easily? I don’t want anyone to take that statement the wrong way – but it annoys me that people are annoyed by her so easily! For some people, love is a massive thing, and I completely get that.

However, there was times when I didn’t want Bella and Edward’s love to be quite so…instant? They barely know each other when they fall in love. But still, I can’t bring myself to be annoyed or upset…because Stephanie Meyer made me feel everything Bella did.

Before I go, can I just add that? Stephanie Meyer is an incredible writer. She seems to be able to write for any age, any audience. Anyone. her writing is easy to read and relate to, and the pages just flick past without a bother. I could read these books for hours without as much as a glance to the clock. These books kind of make you forget about anything other than what’s going on inside them.

Lastly…my rating! I was going to give this a 4. But you know what? You stole my heart, Stephanie Meyer. And you took all 5 moons with it.

Review: Mosquitoland by David Arnold

On September 18, 2016 By Beth JonesIn Book Review8 Comments

Goodreads | Amazon

After the sudden collapse of her family, Mim Malone is dragged from her home in northern Ohio to the “wastelands” of Mississippi, where she lives in a medicated milieu with her dad and new stepmom. Before the dust has a chance to settle, she learns her mother is sick back in Cleveland.

So she ditches her new life and hops aboard a northbound Greyhound bus to her real home and her real mother, meeting a quirky cast of fellow travelers along the way. But when her thousand-mile journey takes a few turns she could never see coming, Mim must confront her own demons, redefining her notions of love, loyalty, and what it means to be sane.

Let’s start off by saying thank you to my lovely friend Sophie for sending me this book! She knew I’d love it, and she was so right. You can read her (PERFECT!) review here.

As with Sophie, I adored Mim! She’s so sassy and exactly the way a female should be – able to stand on her on two feet but also appreciate love and those she comes across. I love how she could find a friend in any good person, but at the same time (as Sophie says) take no crap from anyone.

And I would just like to point out. This book is a road trip book. It qualifies. This may seem like a small thing, but I adore road trip books. If you want to know how much, go and read my review of An Abundance of Katherine’s and see how much it annoyed me that I didn’t get what I was promised!

But I have to say it…David Arnold provided. All the characters you’d meet on the way, scenes in buses and cars, and especially those pages full of just simple miles-to-go writing…made it exactly what I was looking for.

I don’t know how else to explain my love for this book, you really should go and grab yourself a copy and just join me. It’s one of those books that you can’t really describe with words. It’s one of those books you simply just have to appreciate. It’s a life lesson, full of emotion and horribly lovely honesty. Brutal, beautiful truth. A contradiction of the best kind.

Overall, I definitely have to give this book 5 moons. It’s going to stay in my heart for a long, long time.

Review: An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

On September 10, 2016August 11, 2017 By Beth JonesIn Book Review11 Comments

Goodreads | Amazon

When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton’s type happens to be girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.
On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun–but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl. Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.

There’s no easy way to say it – this book was overall, a disappointment. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy it exactly…I did. But there was nothing extraordinary, nothing out-of-this-world amazing that a lot of people would expect from such an accredited author.

However, I’ll start with the things I liked.

The writing is easy to follow and full of good natured humor! I laughed out loud at some things, it really is that good.

I also loved the characters. Colin was sweet, as was Hassan, and Lindsey was just awesome! She was so badass and sassy but I love that the book also showed her softer side in places. Everyone has that private side and everyone has someone that they can be their true self around, and this book displayed the true honour of having that certain person really well.

The setting was lovely, too. I liked that it was discussed between the characters throughout this novel.

I’ve also got to say, I kind of liked the footnotes and math. Reading through a couple of reviews, it seems like a love or hate thing. I didn’t love it – but I liked and appreciated how Green tried to make it more unique and interesting to the reader…even if it was a little hit and miss.

I will get forgotten, but the stories will last. And so we all matter – maybe less than a lot, but always more than none.

On the other hand, I really didn’t like a lot about this book. I just didn’t buy the whole thing, especially all of the Katherine’s.

Just how likely is it that a teenage guy has dated (and been dumped very quickly) by nineteen girls all named Katherine? How did he happen to find every Katherine attractive? Why did they all engage in some kind of (if short) relationship with him? It just seems so unlikely, it made me feel really distant from Colin and his story.

The Arabic and constant translating got on my nerves after a while. Again, I appreciated the idea. But it was kind of a pain to have to keep skipping to the bottom of the page to read the English translations.

It also really irritated me that I guessed a big part of this book was going to happen. Honestly, something that doesn’t happen until the 206th page (out of 213), I guessed on page 42. So I went the entire book basically knowing the ending.

Before I go – here’s a warning for anyone wanting to read this book. If you’re looking for an epic road trip, stop now. One of my all time favourite YA books is Amy & Rogers Epic Detour, partly because I adore road trip books. But by page 25, all road trips are done and dusted. Welcome to your bookish destination, Gutshot, Tennessee. You’re stuck here now.

Overall, you can see this book kind of got on my nerves. I’m still glad I’m read it and I still liked it – but it also disappointed me in many ways. So as a rating, it was kind of average.
