Rather Unpleasant Cautionary Tales for ill-mannered and immoderate Children

Rather Unpleasant Cautionary Tales for ill-mannered and immoderate Children - Ima Bratt

This was a book that was sent to me by the author Ima Bratt, the book is a collection of clever poems about children who are unpleasant in some sort of way, and what happens to them because of how they act. The poems remind me a bit of Roald Dahls Charlie and the Chocolate factory, because of what happens to the children when they are bad. To be honest I've never been one for poetry but these poems were both witty and funny, so whats to dislike? These poems are perfect for reading to younger children at bedtime, maybe one at a time?

Perfect family poems to be enjoyed by everyone! 8/10

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
