This book is a good book. It took a little bit for me to get into it. Briony is a witty, quirky, and has no emotions. She believes she is a witch because her stepmother told her she was. Her stepmother died and she thinks she killed her. She has so much guilt for that and what she believes she did t...
Alright, so I was going to do a proper review, but I just can't. I'm punned out, folks. Besides I fear I love this book too much to be silly about it. And I have to say, when I first started I wasn't sure if I loved it or hated it. I was struck by how Briony was so annoyingly self-loathing. But then...
Briony and her sister live in a strange swampy backwater of England in an early 20th century that still hangs witches. She can see the magical creatures of the bogs, but had been warned against telling by her late stepmother. She's an unreliable narrator and the story is wholly filtered through he...
I didn't expect to like this book, frankly. It's very different from the type of thing I usually read, but once I started it I read it through in just a couple of sittings. What I liked best was the author's use of language, the unusual word choices and the atmosphere she created through the voice o...

Hmm...what to say? 4.5 stars and cheers for an enlightening time! There was so much going on, many people getting sick and the not-so-subtle hint: Chime. Well then. I loved how witty and clever Briony is despite her time spent wallowing in guilt and self-hate. There was significant character develop...
Briony Larkin has grown up hating herself. Before her stepmother passed away, she told Briony a secret: Briony is a witch. Briony is wicked. Briony is responsible for hurting her sister Rose. Briony is guilty. Briony must not tell her father. Briony must not tell anyone. If Briony tells, she will be...
I have a soft spot for witches.I have always been fascinated with witch stories. Simply spying the word in a book blurb can make me sit up and take notice, (oddly enough, the word Werewolf usually makes me stop reading a blurb with disgust - an instinct that I should have listened to when I picked ...
I started 'Chime' not knowing much about it, except that one of my closest friends adored it and that there was something to do with witches. Turns out they're not the type of witches I'm used to (ie. casting spells and circles, magic wands etc.) But I really enjoyed reading something new and unfami...
