Dracula - Bram Stoker (Usborne Classics Retold Version)

I think that I would have preferred a more complex version of the story than the one I read though it did manage to cut down the whole story into 138 pages which is quite a remarkable feat really. It is a great book for those wanting to read Dracula but don't want to read the full version, it is quite spooky still though so it doesn't drop too much of the actual story. (if it drops any of it!) If you had a test on Dracula the following day but hadn't the time to read the full copy, this book is a great revision guide as it would have all you need to know!

7/10 It wasn't too exciting but I'm sure the full version is better, disagree? Tell me why in the comments...

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 graveyard book - Neil Gaiman

Like ghosts, spirits. Graveyards? Well read the book! Winner of the Carnegie medal 2010 this book is full of mystery. Can young Bod, who has been raised in the graveyard escape the man Jack, who has already killed his family? An irresistible book, deserves to become a modern classic. 7/10 A masterpiece.

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'
