I loved Roar. This book is like a legend. An amazing story with a seed of truth in the middle.
Roar is about a rich girl who manages to turn herself into a warrior, when her friend is killed in a witch trial. She bursts into a fiery ball of fury. She has fallen out with her best friend, so she goes to seek out the only person she thinks will help her - the fearsome warrior Shalini and her pet tiger Rama. Rama soon starts following her around and she realizes that Shalini isn’t seeking justice and is just looking for fame. So she runs away with all her friends, and realizes that she should have been doing things peacefully rather than trying to fight.
I like the way this book is written in verse, it makes it feel very unique.
I loved Meena’s quotes, they were very thought provoking, in particular “You don’t need a raging roaring fire to lead people into the light, you need a steady burning flame - if you tear things down, you need to be ready to build something even more beautiful in its place.”
This book made me feel like I could do anything if I could set my heart to it. It was very inspirational.
An inspiring novel perfect for girls with big dreams. A must-read.
I loved Roar. It's an inspiring novel, perfect for young girls just starting out on their lives into their teenage years. The story is about a rich girl who stands up for what's right and learns that even the smallest ripple can make a big difference. The way Rama turns to Rizu shows that even the most loyal friends can still twist and turn their lives away and towards you. Jaya stood out to me the most in the way she fought for the life she deserved till her final breath.
I like the way that it is written in verse because the meaning behind the story has more of an impact this way. The novel tackles difficult subjects which other books do not always do. Manjeet Mann has really captured emotions and woven them into the story really well.
I recommend that everyone should read this book- it is BRILLIANT!
People are stronger together but sometimes people think women are less strong, this books proves that’s not true. A great book for anyone who wants to be inspired to be brave!
I found this book very interesting because her life is so different from mine.
The writer is very good at creating a world in my mind. It was exciting, scary and never knew what would come next.
I read this on my own for the most part but I shared it with my mum too because it was very good. The way it is written sometimes feels like a poem or song.
I loved when the women joined up together. People are stronger together but sometimes people think women are less strong, this books proves that’s not true.
I think this is a good message for all girls and boys. We shouldn’t just decide someone is a witch if we don’t understand them.
I would recommend this for anyone who likes longer books and really wants to feel braver.
