Beautiful Darkness - Kami Garcia + Margret Stohl

This book was a little like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to the rest of the magical series. I say that not because of the story line or the genre, but because the novel leaves the 'homeland' and ventures out on the run, or in this case the people chasing the others who are on the run. So its a bit like the death eaters chasing Harry and his friends, although the people we follow throughout the story are goodies not baddies even though they are the ones doing the chasing. I have to say that this series of books get better as they go along as the plot deepens ad the brilliant twists get even more- twistier?! Fantastic stuff...

10/10 This novel really does't disapoint

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
