The Mummy Snatcher of Memphis - Natasha Narayan

  This book took me a long time to read because it was quite hard to get into, because of this I found it difficult to get into and had to re-read parts of it. I found this book very similar to a lot of other books I had already read, imagine the plot: The Victorian age, a girl who aspires to be an adventurer rather than a 'lady' who goes off to solve mysteries. Seem familiar? It's very interesting though because of the author, lots of the places in the book have either been visited by the writer or a place where she would like to go. For example Narayan lives in Oxford, Oxford is also the home of Kit Salter. (The main character) So to conclude I give this book...

  6/10 It was good I just didn't like it enough to rave about it or buy the rest of the series...

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...
