The Ranger's Apprentice Bk 1 : The Ruins Of Gorlan.

Moreover, it was a good book with an original story line some parts had tense moments which suddenly switched to cheerful moments. The story is somewhere around the medieval times. The main character , Will, always dreamed of being a warrior. Both of his parents are dead, his father died as a hero and mother died in childbirth. The only reason he wants to be a warrior is to follow his father footsteps. On the choosing day he was rejected to join Battle school. He was accepted by a Ranger. Will, like ordinary people, thought they used black magic to make them invisible to people. They were a mysterious bunch of people, rarely seen in public. Of course he feared them, like all the villagers did, so he reluctantly trained with the ranger. I highly recommend you read this book. :D

Skulduggery Pleasant: Dark Days (repost)

(I couldn't log on before so I am posting it now)

Skulduggery Pleasant: Dark DaysThis book is a perfect match between thriller, action, adventure and fantasy. Every single page of it is filled with heart-racening action and mystery up until the very end of the book, and when it ends, it adds a twist with the very last word and makes you anticpate the next book as well as read back the past book of the series. This book is interesting because the main characters always wind up in the most unsolvable situations like being trapped in a world full of dark gods who hunt and torture you and the only way to get out is if your partner risk their lives trying to regain a hopelessly lost object and has to turn outside the laws but somehow they usually manage to find a thin sliver of luck and they escaped, moving closer to solving the bigger mystery. It is also interesting as it contains a lot of suspense to see if they do manage to get out of situations or of they do manage to find evidence to stop the possible crime as well as dwell into the past of the characters, bringing us a better understanding of them. It is extremly descriptive and so projects a clear image into our minds and make us follow the story more and understand it better.

The toilet of doom :D

This book is awesome!
It is extremely funny and always fun to read.
This book is about a boy called Jiggy McCue switching bodies with his best friend Angeline.
I think everyone should read this book, this is because they will know how it feels like to be a girl or a boy.
A very interesting book indeed!!!!

Twilight


Twilight is a romance/action/fiction novel written by Stephenie Meyer. Twilight is the first book of the Twilight Saga and the series are Twilight->New Moon->Eclipse->Breaking Dawn.

I decided to read this book because many people around me read this book and they recommended me to read this book. I started reading this book and realized how interesting and fascinating this book is.

In a simple way the main story of Twilight is a human girl called Bella falling in love with a vampire called Edward. This book is about a very ordinary teenage girl Bella who moves from Phoenix to Forks to live with her dad Charlie who is a policeman. Bella makes new friends at school and get to know about the school. Later, she finds "The Cullens" extraordinary because, the cullens are all very handsome or very beautiful and they have this aura around them which makes Bella to get curious about them. One day, one of Bella's friend was driving and his car broke and he almost hit Bella but, Edward came and stop the car with his hand in a speed of light and Bella finds out that Edward isn't a human but something else. Then she and Edward make a bet about guessing what Edward is. Bella researched about monsters and stuff and click on a website about vampires and she thinks that the Cullens are vampires. The next day she tells Edward that she thinks he's a vampire and Edward tells Bella the truth and they get to know each other better and eventually they fall in love. Since Bella is a human who dates a vampire, she has a lot of risks because vampires find Bella very mouth watering because of the sweet scent she has.

The story line is pretty much predictable but, I couldn't stop reading it because it was too interesting for me to stop reading. I think this book is really exciting to read and personally I think the girls will like this book more than boys because girls like romance more than boys. But, anyway I think Twilight is a pretty much cool book to recommend to other people.

Hunger Games

The Hunger Games is an adventure/young adult/science fiction book written by Suzanne Collins. This is a trilogy series: " Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay."
After reading the first 2 books in the series, and as the 2nd on ends with a cliffhanger, I'm really curious as to what will happen in the last book.
The plot is about the 'Hunger Games'in the country of Panem where North America once stood. This is where a powerful government working in a central city called the Capitol holds power. It's and event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each district to fight to the death. The Hunger Games exist to demonstrate the invincible power of the Capitol.
I particular liked this book, maybe one of my favourites, because this book really demonstrates adventure at it's best and at the same time it is also very dramatic. I can't wait to read the last book in this trilogy series!
