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...

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'
