Nightbird - Alice Hoffman

Alice Hoffman is a brilliant wordsmith, you know that it's true from the first page to the last. It's a spellbinding read with a lot of detail and thought going into it.

The characters are imagined brilliantly and when you read the book you feel as though you have a strong connection to the characters in the book because they are presented to us so well from their physical descriptions to their emotions shown during the course of the novel.

The book has elements of adventure, fantasy and even romance which definitely create a truly captivating story. You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but my edition of it is really very good. It's mysterious and quite enchanting which definitely draws you in to the book. So overall a great novel from Hoffman, I hope that in the future she will write some offer books like this one for us to read because Nightbird is terrific.

10/10 I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down. Leave your comments down below to let me know your thoughts on the book...

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
