The London Eye Mystery - Siobhan Dowd

This book was recommended to me by a friend of mine, saying it was one of his favorite books ever, I knew it was bound to be good. It wasn't what I expected though, as the story was written in a very different way to many other books. I won't rave about this novel too much though because I have just read some fantastic YA thrillers and I have lots more to read. However I will say that if you are looking for something a little different to your typically written book, then try this because you'll not find the likes of it anywhere else. If you do like this style of writing I'll recommend 'A Monster Calls' By Patrick Ness.

A good read, 8/10

Gone - Michael Grant

As thrilling as the Hunger games I'd say! This is an electrifying read! For older children, the gone books in order are: Gone, Hunger, Lies, Plague and Fear. You won't want to put it down, I didn't anyway! Michael Grant is a seriously good author and he also has a new book called bzrk. I rate this fabulous novel 10/10 A fantastic read!

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...

Clockwork Angel - Cassandra Clare

This is the best book I've read in a while and I must say I'm quite impressed. I was gripped to the story during the first minute of reading. An amazing plot. An amazing style of writing, I just loved this amazing book! 10/10 I can't wait to read the sequel 'Clockwork Prince'
