Oh, dear. This did not go down well. If it hadn't been for the relationship between Ky and Cassia, I wouldn't have read it to the end. It did nothing for me. It dragged on at times, which made me bored. It's the end of the road with this one...

This was an okay read. It didn't make me jump out of my boots, but it intrigued me enough to make me read it to the end. It dealt with some strong issues that I thought it handled well. I thought some scenes could have been executed differently to have...

I love this book. Loved Charlie. Such a likeable character that I found I had a great connection to. It was a simple read. Teenagers trying to survive the pressures of school, relationships, love, hormones and the concept of entering adulthood. Really captures the enssence of kidulthood. I look forward...

I wasn't excited. I had been looking forward to this read, but when I actually bought the book and started it, it took me a while to get into it. I was a little disappointed that it didn't grab my attention. I wasn't convinced by the love story. It was...

Entertaining. Brilliant. Magical. Kick Ass fairies. Must read!

I must admit, when I first time I read this, I found it exhilirating. I read in two days and just had to go and buy the other 3 books. I loved the chemistry between Edward and bella, albeit a tad cliché. It's a good read.

This was a surprise. I liked the first and the second books very much, but this was, I feel, the best so far. I connected with this book more than I did with the others. I felt the characters have developed well and the chemistry was strong between Nora and...

This was a good read. I had a lot of expectations but was a little disappointed that I couldn't get into the book as much as I would have like to. The characters were well portrayed and I did like the budding romance between Katniss and Peeta, I just couldn't...

This is a brilliant read. I love mythology, so I was excited to read this one. In honesty, I only knew about it because I heard about the film, so I wanted to read it before the film came out as I can't watch a movie and then read the...

I had high hopes for this one. I absolutely loved the concept and the way the book started off. But, as it progressed, I found it was dragging at times and I found I wasn't connecting with the characters as I was hoping I would. There were moments that were...

This book had me at the first word. It's moving and the fact that it is narrated by Death just makes it that more gripping. It goes down as one of the best book's I have read. The characters felt so authentic. They jumped off the pages. The ending was...

Big Brother is watching you. This is a brilliant read. The characterisation is brilliant. Winston is very well portrayed. You really feel a connection to him. The story takes the readers along for the ride. Up there with the best dystopian novels.

This book is full of adrenaline from start to finish. It takes you on an exhilirating adventure, exploring a world full of mystery and danger. The characters truly came alive. I couldn't put it down. It's a definite must read.
