The Book Thief - Marcus Zusak

  This book gripped me on a whole new level, it was a real eye opener as it showed me how it was to live in the period of world war 2. The story was written so well and there were so many aspects of it making it different from other stories. Aspects that made it great: it flowed, it got to you, it was so innocent and the book seemed so human. Facts about it that distinguish it from the rest include that the novel is narrated by none other than Death, or that the pictures drawn by the Jewish fist fighter are actually in the book itself.

10/10 If you have anything to say then head over to the comments.

I am Haunted by Humans.

Eventually, they came up with the system that we have today, which you will see in science when you learn it at school or college etc.     The book is a work of non-fiction and is designed to teach you about each singular element found in the modern periodic table, the book has a factfile of each substance accompanied with a very detailed overview of it. The book is full of wonderful ultra high definiton images which make the work seem fresh and gives it an extra sense of quality.   The book really does teach you an awful lot about the elements, from Carbon to Einsteinium. Any budding scientist would love to add this to their collection I'm sure, the book is really interesting and is good for reading through thouroughly, just flicking through now and t

The graveyard book - Neil Gaiman

 Like ghosts, spirits. Graveyards? Well read the book! Winner of the Carnegie medal 2010 this book is full of mystery. Can young  Bod, who has been raised in the graveyard escape the man Jack, who has already killed his family? An irresistible book, deserves to become a modern classic.  7/10 A masterpiece.  

Skulduggery Pleasant: The Dying of the Light - Derek Landy

  This was a little of a disappointment in some ways, the ending chapters were a bit confusing but that didn't stop the read from being utterly compelling in every way!   I would say that a different ending would have worked well but the starting potential of the book maybe created a sense that the read would be ore than it was... 9/10 Good things for comments.
