Monty and Me - Louisa Bennet

Monty is a dog, Monty also happens to be a detective. After his master is murdered Monty decides that he should look for the killer and help his new owner (a detective working on the case) along the way. The chapters switch from detective to dog in this thrilling read giving you an insight into the lives of Police workers and how dogs feel, think and communicate. It is a really interesting book because it really makes you wonder about our canine friends and other animals as well, like ladybirds or rats for example who also make an appearance in the novel!

Readers should note that this book contains a fair amount of profanity / swearing and is definitely not suitable for readers of a younger age...

10/10 This was a fantastic book and I could not put it down, please remember to leave a comment below and to tweet me @TheOllyBookBlog

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
