    Genre: Fantasy

    The fact that the author's description was so accurate that you could imagine it happening right in your room which made you scared to death!!!!!!!!!!! I stayed up full night to finish reading the book, but couldn't sleep the rest of the night because I kept having nightmares. Horror. Recommended...

    Name: Zahra Age 9
    29 March 2011;

    Genre: Adventure

    Had all the thrill that Anthony could fit into a couple of hundred pages. That Scarlett's father was working for Nightrise was a nice little twist.

    Name: Brittany

    Genre: Science Fiction

    The start was quite slow for me, and I have to admit that before I actually sat down properly to read it yesterday, I'd read the first page on several occasions and could not get into it. Since I got the book about a month ago, I was pretty excited to read it because it sounded different from any...

    Genre: Supernatural

    It is a good book but very hard to read. The language is a little bit difficult and it takes a while to get into, but when you get used to it, it's not too difficult to understand. The names I think were the hardest because they are French. Some words were also in French. Overall, I would recomme...

  • Private Peaceful

    02 February 2011;

    Genre: Books set in the past

    I would recommend this book to children aged 12+ and to people who want a change. I would recommend this to emotional people but be careful you're sure to cry.
