Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Jeff Kinney

I wouldn't usually pick this kind of book up, but it's important to read a wide range of genres so I decided to give this a try. Tons and Tons of children have read this book and the rest of the series because the book is very funny, and the novel is mostly in cartoons. I think it would have been better if it was a bit longer because the actual writing in the book takes up only about 20% of the book whilst the other 80% is occupied by pictures. Pictures obviously make stories a lot easier to read, and when there's about two on a single page... So, this book will be read in a very fast amount of time, so what do you do when you've read the book? If you wan to read the next one there's a whole series out there! Then there's also two successful films to look forward to so there is a lot to do with the world of Wimpy Kid.

7/10 A very different way to 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...

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
