The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas - John Boyne

This is an incredibly moving story about a nine year old boy in world war two, although this isn't a book for nine year old's. The story with touch your heart and make you think, which is a great combination for a book... Many don't want to see the film as it may ruin the book, I know that I don't wish to see the movie anytime soon anyway, if you have already seen the film though I would still recommend reading the book first.* A great book, Boyne has created an amazing story here that deserves to become a classic...

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'
