End of Year Top 5 Book List 2013

It's time to do a final recap on my top 5 books of 2013, All of these books are great and have a 10/10 rating- enjoy!

 5. Alex Rider: Stormbreaker  - Antony Horowitz
My first experience of Horowitz's spy world- and I absolutely loved it! It reminded me of the Cherub books (below) but I think that the books are most alike to the young James Bond Novels (Charlie Higson)

4. Beautiful Creatures - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
You may have seen the film, but have you read the book? The novel came first and it gets first prize (in a competition of movies and books anyway) A great romance/action/fantasy/all round great read! 

3. Cherub: The Recruit - Robert Muchamore 
This is the first book in the Cherub Series, all of the books are equally good and each got a 10/10 rating!

 2. TimeRiders: The Mayan Prophecy - Alex Scarrow
The long awaited Mayan Prophecy is the latest installment in the TimeRiders Series and it is one fast read! In some ways a very different novel to the others in the series but as I don't like to disclose too many spoilers: You'll have to read the series to know what I mean!
1. Skulduggery Pleasant: Last Stand of Dead Men

 As far as the title is concerned fans of Pleasant will understand but non-fans or fans-to-be won't. Sorry about that... The storyline is gripping, and the writing is flawless;
The pages seem to turn themselves... Will it really be the last stand of (the) Dead Men, or will Landy do one of his famous 'turn-arounds?' You'll again: have to wait and see...

 Happy New Year and have a very book-ish 2014

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...
