Time Riders: Gates of Rome

Time Riders: Gates of Rome - Alex Scarrow

This series never stops getting better! This is the book in the middle or so in the series that unlocks a lot of secrets, leaving mystery and suspense in the air, this makes you really want to read the next books so that you can find out the secrets for yourself.. This means that there could be a lot more Time Riders novels published, hooray! Going back to this particular installment though: If you have ever heard of or read any of Simon Scarrow's books (Alex's Brother) then you're in for a surprise, as Simon's books are about ancient Rome, Gladiators etc. (NOTE: They are adult books but the Time Riders are Teen Fiction) Alex has included some of the characters! This makes the book quite interesting!

10/10 'A thriller full of spectacular effects' The Guardian

Journey To Jo'burg - Beverley Naidoo

This was a novella My class read in school, and to be perfectly honest; for a fiction book it was very dry and just far too 'non-fiction' for a fiction book. So for me, this book was sadly a no. It had a lot in it for a novella, and I can see why we read it in class, especially for English. But unfortunately it just didn't have that 'humph' if you get what I'm talking about. 3/10 For me this wasn't a fiction it was a non-fiction, despite what the cover says...

The Blood Stone - Jamila Gavin

This was a great read! A bit confusing at times as it slides from past to present tense regularly. But other than that it is fairly easy to get through. I enjoyed this book because of the adventure and mystery it has in it. 8/10 This was an intriguing read.

The Lord Of The Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien

Sorry that I haven't posted for a while, but when you see the title of this review, you'll properly find out why! The book is written very thoroughly with lots of detail and history. Did you know Tolkien even made his own language! I think the books were all good but I especially enjoyed the second one: The Two towers as it is where they really get into the fellowship and it gets a ton more interesting! Not for the light-hearted this book will take you to the limit! I will give numbers out of ten for each book... The Fellowship of the Ring: 9/10, The Two Towers: 10/10 and finally, The Return Of the King: 8/10
