This book is extremely chilling. Very good plot and characters, despite one haunting one.. I'm still haunted by this to this day, and I can never look at the homeless the same way.It's made me more empathetic towards them, which i think is a good thing.

In the fourth book of the bestselling Cirque Du Freak series, Darren Shan and Mr. Crepsley embark on a dangerous trek to the very heart of the vampire world. But they face more than the cold on Vampire Mountain-the vampaneze have been there before them. I keep expecting to be disappointed, waiting for the magic to run out. Thankfully, the series is still strong and still gripping.

This book so far is fantastic! I think its based on a good story line and one of my friends recommended it to me so i am going to reed the book. Also it is a very easy story line to follow. This is a book of short stories based on the lives and worries of seven pupils in Mr Speeds junior class. Due to circle time being a bit embarrassing for particular students to talk about their feelings, Mr Speed came up with a brilliant idea called ‘The Worry Website’. I wish my school had one.

Not what I was expecting, confusing, but good. I liked the split view points in the book giving the reader the views of Jacob and Bella. I found the ending was a little bit anticlimatic, but still very good. I thoroughly enjoyed the end of the book more than the beginning just because I've always liked the female heroines in books, and vampire Bella sounds amazing to me.

My mother made me watch the film remake this, which I found atrocious. They added in romance between Mina and the Count for no apparent reason, just because they wanted it to appeal to the public. The book, on the other hand, is marvellous. I must admit the beginning it awfully slow and it did take me 2 months to read this, however towards the end was gripping.
I personally like how they put the format in diary entries, giving the point of view of each character. I currently own 3 'classics' and Dracula is by far my favourite. The plot gradually became more and more action filled, building up to the ending (in my opinion was rather anti-climax).
The type of language is easy to understand, although I did find it difficult reading the long monologues by Van Hellsing late at night.
Overall a wonderful classic which everyone should enjoy.

This is a short story- and for my liking a little bit too short. I would of loved it to of been longer! However, it was great! Even though you didn't have much time to get to like Clayton (the main protagonist), you felt a little sorry for him throughout it all. It conveys a great moral, as well as having a good choice of vocabulary. In short- it's a great short story which you can read in about 20 minutes.

An amazing second edition to this series. It shows what happens next with Nick from the first book. Now, I didnt like Nick in the first book because, well he was a word which I really shouldn't put down in a review. However you got to like him towards the end of the book out of pity and his new changed personality. I enjoyed this immensely, not as much as the first book but definitely a lot. The narrator yet again didnt do it for me, but that's down to audible not the plot of the story. Off to read the last instalment now!

I actually want to give this book 4.5 stars, unfortunately goodreads wont let me do that. It combines all three short stories of the Hearts to Follow series by Dana Burkey, with each story as good as the other. The first book has to be my favourite, I'm not sure why though. The main characters in story 1 and 3 were a bit oblivious to the flirting which irritated me somewhat, but that's just me. I like my females intelligent and sarcastic, despite this each character was well thought out and could be related to. A great series, Ms. Burkey has a way with romance. I'm extremely excited to read Big City Farming now!

I had to read this for school, but carried on reason it because I found it very interesting. It portrays the upper / lower class divide well leaving you with chills at the end.

It's yet another funny and clever book from Roald Dahl, my paired reader loved it as well as I! (however i think i enjoyed it more XD)
