The Naval Treaty

Today I am going to review "The Naval Treaty". Another one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes books. I really enjoyed this book. You feel the tension building up a Holmes has to find a treaty between Britain and Italy. Nations like Russia would pay a lot of money to see this treaty spend the book trying to find out who has stolen the treaty. I would definitely give this story a 9.5/10. I could not put this book down and I was invested from start to finish.

The boy at the top of the mountain

The main characters in the book were Pierrot, Beatrix, Ernst and Hitler.  Pierrot's parents died when he was seven and so he is sent to an orphanage.  A letter arrives and it is addressed to him.  It is from his  aunt Beatrix and she invites him to come and stay with her.  She worked as a housemaid in a house at the top of a mountain called the Obersalzberg.  She worked as a housemaid in Hitler's house and Pierrot and Hitler form a bond.  Hitler sees Pierrot almost as a son and Pierrot changes.  

He only cares about two things pleasing Hitler and the future of the fatherland, Germany.  The character who I liked in the book was a girl called Katarina.  Katarina was a girl in Pierrot's school in Germany.  I liked her because all her views were her own and she knew that what Hitler was doing was wrong.  Pierrot liked her, however she didn't like him that much anymore.  She had noticed that Pierrot had changed and was becoming more and more like Hitler.     


Silence is Goldfish




8/10
'Silence is Goldfish' by Anabel Pitcher is a compelling novel.  Tess was always slightly insecure about her weight, and her friends, and pressure from he parents, but when she sees the hard, cruel blog post by her 'dad' about how he is revolted by her and could never love her, it pushes her over the edge. Before, she had tried to fit in and be normal, for her parents, so they could be proud, but then that all changes, and she becomes 'Pluto silent. Inaccessible' While this novel is primarily aimed at teenagers, it is suitable for older people too, and everybody can relate to something, whether it's the inability to have a child, the doubts and mistakes of being a parent, or the struggles through adolescence. A truly inspirational novel.
A character who I liked in the novel is Henry. He is honest, and brutally so. He tells people what he thinks of them, and of people and the world on general. Although his thoughts can often be dark and depressing, it is refreshing to hear his forthright honesty. H is ridiculously good looking and seems to be a complete insider, hanging out with all right people, but once you get to know him, you realise how different he is. You couldn't be much more of an outsider. It just remind you that nobody is really as they seem, and even the best of us alter ourselves to be like the rest of us, while in the meantime, every one else is altering themselves to be like us.

The Kite Runner


     

"The Kite Runner" is the best book I've ever read. It opened up my eyes to what Afghanistan is really like. I'm growing up in a world free from war and abuse and these children are forced to experience it every day of their lives. Amir and Hasssan set out to win the local kite flying tournament . All went well until something awful happened. Amir moved to America and after starting an new there he goes back to Afghanistan, under Taliban rule,to finally redeem himself. I adored every page of this book. i give it 10/10. My favourite character was Baba, Amir's father. Baba was worshipped everywhere he went. He was adored by everyone. Baba kept spare change in his poclet so he could always give to the poor. He helped people he didn't know who were in need. He loved everyone and everything. He didn't care about anyone's background, race or gender. He was just there to help. 

Cherub: Class A

This book is really good. If you haven't read it, you must be crazy. It has everything you could ever wish for in a book. The story-line was so incredible, yet so believable. The best bit about this book was the fact that here was always something happening. I just couldn't stop reading it. After every page, you wondered what was going to happen on the next. The book had very romantic bits as well. I give this book 10/10. A character who I thought changed in the text of the book was Kerry Chang. At the start of the book, she was so tough and never seemed to have a sweet side, only she does! James finally coughed up the guts to ask her out. She said yes. They were such a cute couple and James completely opened up this new side of Kerry. She was sweet, kind and caring. Not that she usually wasn't kind and caring, she usually was, just in a different way. They went on romantic walks through the park, went to the cinema together and even kissed a few times. My second favourite part of the story was when they kissed.

The Girl In Between by Laekan Zea Kemp

I liked her Grandfather's farmhouse, her visit to Emory and Felix. I liked her Grandfather's farmhouse because it gave her a safe place and something to distract her with good memories of her life before KLS, also she could place an object in there and it would appear in her dreamworld. I liked her visit to Emory because it gave her a taste of what a "normal" teenager did before they graduate high school and she got to look at students doing sculpting and see how they expressed themselves with materials, she also found out their tight time schedule. I liked Felix because he was bestfriends with Bryn and she could tell him about her dreamworld without being called deluded or given a child physiatrist's card, also he liked Dani and he was good for her unlike the jerks she had been dating before him.

I didn't like the shadows in her dream world, Drew's desperation and Bryn's father. I didn't like the shadows in her dreamworld because they kept coming for her as her sickness worsened and began to interfere with her life when she tried to help Roman find who he was. I didn't like Drew's desperation because Bryn had given him a chance and he wouldn't stop approaching her while she was also trying to search for Roman. I din't like Bryn's father because he couldn't manage that Bryn was sick with an incurable disease.

It was set in Austin, Texas and it finishes in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The storyline of the book is where Bryn stumbles upon a mysterious boy on her beach , she must find his identity before it's too late. I thought this book wasn't believable but I'd still rate it 8.7/10.




The maze runner

I think this book is very exciting . I recommend  it to everyone who likes action and thrilling books. It is a very enjoyable read and you would deffinitly like it if you enjoyed futuristic books. The best part is when Thomas ,the main character, kills a griever. A griever is a monster that lives in the maze and comes out at night. It is set in the middle of a maze where people have to try live. I give it 8/10.

Cherub: The Sleepwalker by Robert Muchamore

A boy named Fahim claims his Dad had something to do with it.Lauren is off to find out the cause of the crash. Meanwhile James is doing work experience with Kerry in a fast food restaurant. This book is very exciting and I would defiantly recommended it. I would rate this book 10/10. 

On The Fence by Kasie West

Sword Art Online: Phantom Bullet vol.1


This book is the sequel to the 'Fairy Dance' series, Phantom Bullet.
Today I am reviewing the book called ' Sword Art Online Phantom Bullet vol. 1'. The characters are the same with some new side characters and a new main character named 'Sinon'. In this book it will be going off track and instead of a medieval fantasy world, we get a new sci-fi world with some aspects of the previous books, like there are swords in a world of guns. It is a bit strange and it seems like something the author wrote to keep Kirito the strongest which I think is unfair.

The character I thought changed a lot was Kirito. In the previous books he was and acted like a hero and as a solo player, he was one of the best in the game. But in this book he enters a game which he has never been in or even played the genre which is First Person Shooter (or F.P.S. for short). In this game his character avatar looks like a girl. He uses this to get Sinon to help him in the beginning. After she finds out out he is a guy, she slaps him and is mad at him. After Kirito meets Death Gun, he is shaking and is scared. This is the first time we see him act differently compared to his usual cool and collected self. The only time we saw him act like this is when Sachi in Sword Art Online and when he got out of Sword Art Online.

"Shadow Bound" is an action packed story filled with conflict, villains and interesting characters.  If you like magic and strong protagonists this story is for you.  From the very first chapter your eyes will be glued to the page and you won't be able to turn away.  I would recommend this story to anyone who like long books in fantasy settings.  This book displays the meaning of family, friendship and how a bond of family can get through anything.  There is a lot of character development in this story and it makes the story a lot more interesting and easier to read.  I really liked the authors vocabulary and story telling skills. I would rate this story 7/10




                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

The Color Purple

"The Color Purple" is an amazing story. Celie is a young black girl growing up in America. Her father is a cruel man who is constantly abusing her. She is forced to marry a mean man. Her life is a miserable mess for several years until she meets Shug Avery. Shug is beautiful and talented. Celie's life keeps getting better. There is one thing missing from her though, her sister Nettie. When Celie married she was no longer able to see her beloved sister. I loved reading this book. I give it 9/10. My favourite character was Shug Avery. At first Shug came across as mean, rude and ignorant. Once Shug realised that Celie had done so much for her she began being nice. She was a very unusual character. She wasn't afraid to stick up for herself and others. When Shug loved someone she really did love them. She was very expressive and spoke with meaning.

Animal Farm

                                  

The main characters in the book are Mr.Jones, Napoleon and Snowball. Mr.Jones was very harsh on the animals and made them work too hard and so the animals took over the farm. They changed the name of the farm from Manor Farm to Animal Farm. The animals needed a leader to guide them and so Napoleon,a wise horse took the reigns. However,the power went to his head and he started changing rules for his own benefit. A group of the animals thought that this was unfair and so overthrow him. The character who i liked in the book was Snowball. He was a small pig whose views were his own. He thought that Napoleon was treating some animals better than others and this was true. When Snowball confronted Napoleon, Napoleon denied it and started spreading rumours about Snowball trying to overthrow him. Snowball had no other choice other than leaving and from then on when something went wrong on the farm, they would blame Snowball.

Brooklyn

"Brooklyn" by Colm Tóibin is a very interesting tale of a young girl  called Eilis struggling to find a job in Ireland. When the opportunity to move to Brooklyn arises Eilis grabs it she soon adapts herself to the hustle and bustle of the States."Brooklyn" is  very true to life and has a very believable story-line.The characters develop well during the story.

When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr


I liked Zwirn Gasthof, her Mother's hard work and Max's improvement in school work. I liked the Zwirn Gasthof  because it was like a vacation resort with its stunning view and beautiful lake. It was also a great place for the family to relax without the threat of Adolf Hitler on their doorstep. I like her Mother's hard work because it meant the appartment was clean and neat for the children to do their study and homework. She also put plates of food in front of them even with the shortage of money and fixed tears in their clothes and bought new shoes for Anna.
 I liked Max's improvement because they had sent him to Lycée for boys which was a French high school and it was costing their parents a large amount to send him there. Max's report at the end of the year had positive comments from all his teachers and it showed how people can change. I didn't like Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, the German family who stayed briefly at the Gasthof Zwirn and the French depression. I didn't like Adolf Hitler and the Nazis because they judged a person based on their religion and created concentration camps to torture them with their own frustration and also, he put a dark cloud on Germany from that point on. 
I didn't like the French depression because it put so much pressure on Anna and her family who still had very little money to spare because of financial issues. It was set in Berlin, Germany then Zurich, Switzerland and it finishes in London, England. The storyline is when Anna and her family flee Germany because her Father openly critcised the Nazis and they were Jewish. I thought that this book was believable and I'd rate it 9.5/10.

Lola and The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

'Lola and The Boy Next Door' is the fantastic sequel to 'Anna and The French Kiss', and is just as good. like the first book, it is an extremely funny, fast-paced, perfectly plotted novel. This book has you hungry for the next twist, and I found it very difficult to put down. The characters have a certain individuality to them which I loved. I felt myself getting to know them better and better as I read. The style of writing is flawless, and I loved every aspect of it. I rate this book 8/10. 

This book is about Lola Nolan. Lola has everything going great for her, she's doing well in school, she has a place in a fashion design college, and she even has a tough twenty-something boyfriend by her side. But when Cricket and Calliope Bell return to the neighbourhood, Lola's head is swallowed up by crushing memories. What could have made Lola resent them so much? What will Lola do? Will she step up and finally face her fear?

A character I liked in the story was Calliope Bell. She was Cricket's twin sister, and a national champion figure skater. She had a very sour, negative, dry-humoured personality, and I'm surprised to say I absolutely loved her. She gave the story an unexplainable electricity, and I enjoyed the way she had all the best lines in this novel. Calliope definitely played a very important part in this novel . 

Cherub: The Recruit

This book is really good. It is definitely a must read! It has everything you could ever wish for in a book. It is about a boy called James Adams, formerly James Choke. His mother was a major criminal. She died of obesity. James was sent to Nebraska house. His room mate Kyle was an undercover agent from Cherub. Kyle decided James was Cherub material and Cherub chose him to come. James had to go through 100 days of basic training. It is said to be the worst 100 days of your life. He went on a mission to Fort Harmony later on in the book. He caught anthrax while he was there. A character who I think changed in the text of the book was Kerry. She was James' partner for basic training. At the start of it she was being horrible to James, calling him fat, not helping him through the course which is what partners are supposed to do. They had a fight one time during the mud course on Christmas day. This nearly got them both disqualified. Then, Kerry shared her cereal bar with James. At that moment, we saw through Kerry's tough, strong appearance, we saw a girl who was just desperate to get through basic training and would to anything to get there. From then on, they both helped each other. I don't think they would have completed physical training without each other as a partner.

theodore boone the accused


I really recommend this book if you like action-filled books! Theodore Boone wants to be a lawyer and his parents are both lawyers. there has been an accused murder in his town and Theo was one of the people that helped solve the mystery, so he goes to watch the court case. During this,in his own life,he gets accused of  stealing. He had been vandalized, things stolen from his locker, and been framed for a big theft! Overall i thought it was really interesting and a brilliant read.

The book is a crime story for kids. The atmosphere is typical of a crime story with suspense and unexpected ending.

No specific character changed but Theo at the end of the story became more aware of danger
s in his life

I'll Give You The Sun


"I'll Give You The Sun" is a real page-turner. Noah and Jude are inseparable twins who love art. They are as close as twins get, they're best friends. When a boy called Brian moves across the road from them. Brian is gorgeous and mysterious. Noah and Jude can't help falling for him, but when Brian moved in their lives took a turn for the worst. Their lives soon became a series of unfortunate events. This book is a great read. I give it 9/10. My favourite character in this book was Noah. Noah is a very down to earth person who wears his heart on his sleeves. Noah is artistically talented. He lives and breathes art! Everything he thinks of is thought of in an artistic way. When he sees a person he can see their personality. He mind sketches. If he sees something that would make a good picture he quickly sketches it in his head. He decides on peoples spirit  animals. His neighbour Brian is a white Bengal tiger. Noah is interestingly and inspiringly artistic and creative. 

Clockwork Prince



This book is the sequel to the clockwork angel by Cassandra Clare. Today I am reviewing the Clockwork Prince. The characters are all the same except at the end of the book Cecile,Will's little sister arrives and Charlotte tells everyone that she is pregnant. The story is quite good with everyone starting to have relationships. The setting is shown in a brighter light, so there are less dark and spooky descriptions. The story is a bit similar to the old one. Some of the twist of the plot were not as good as the old book. I rated this book a 7.5 out of 10.
A character that I think has changed in the book was Will. Will in the previous book was cold and mysterious and we always wonder what caused him to be like this. So its hard to get a sense of why he acts so cold and rude to people. In this book, we find out why he acts so coldly. When Will was still an apprentice shadow hunter, he caught a demon but before Will sent the demon to the demon world. He casts a curse saying ' all those who will love or like him will die'. So Will acts rude so no one will like him so they don't die. But in this book, Will  learns the curse is fake and he tells Tessa everything.

Image result for clockwork prince






"The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and cut the Moon in Two" is an amazing mix of old tales like "Alice in Wonderland" and  "Wizard of Oz".  The book immediately whisks you away to a land of fairies and adventures, from the very first four magical words "once upon a time".  Valente's skill of story telling really shows in the text.  The characters in the fantasy world are described so vividly that they seem almost real. Once you start reading you won't be able to turn away from the book. You are carried away into the story.
The message of the is  
The book is a perfect choice for fairytale lovers. I rate it 10/10.

Soldier Dog Book Report


Soldier dog is about a boy called Stanely who lives on a farm and is dreading his time at home. His father has changed and has become more aggressive and less kind after Stanley's mother died and his brother left to go to war. One day Stanely let out his fathers prize dog when she was on heat and Stanely's dad became furious. Bitches are never the same after breeding, they cant race like before.

Stanely then runs away after his father killed the "impure" puppies of the race dog. Stanely enlists in the Dog Messenger Service because he wants to find his brother and stay with him until the war ends and is given a new dog. He was only fourteen when he enlisted. Because of this he was only given one dog instead of three because the commander didn't want him to be sent to war.  Stanely eventually makes it to the the front lines and witnesses the horrors of war.



Overall this is a great book and I would recommend it to all teenagers.



THE OUTSIDERS

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is the exciting tale of fourteen year old Ponyboy Curtis and his gang of greasers and how their lives had changed drastically over the coarse of a few weeks ranging from fights,getting drunk to even killing someone. the Outsiders is an amazing book that is easily relateable and incredibly interesting at the same time, i would easily rate this book 10/10 and would recommend it to nearly anyone. this book is about the Soc's and the Greasers and how drastically situations got out of hand because of one mistake.

Anna and the French Kiss

                        
This is the perfect novel for any love-crazy teenagers that are looking for a fun read. It is filled with amazing, individually quirky characters and has a fantastic plot that has you desperate for the next twist or turn. Although this book is set in a slightly more unfamiliar setting, the reader quickly comes to love every aspect of it. The melodramatic storyline and characters make it a must read. 

A character I liked in this novel was Etienne St Clair. I liked him because he was funny, treated all the other characters well and was genuinely nice. He was the character who was liked by everyone, which is interesting to read about in this exciting storyline. 

A Girl Called Blue

Blue O'Malley, a young orphan, was left outside the orphanage at Larch Hill by her mother when she was just a baby.  As she grew older she as always getting into trouble with the nuns and when she thinks life can't get any worse, her best friend drowns and is never found again.  Blue never thought she would find happiness until she found a sixty year old woman and her thirty year old son, the Mooney family.

I think the character that changed in the book was Sister Regina.  At the start of the book she was a bully to the children, she would hit them for no apparent reason and punish them for the smallest of things.  She would also mutter hurtful words under her breath, knowing that the children would hear it, such as orphan.
By the end of the book she realized that what she was doing was wrong, thanks to a brave young girl who finally confronted her.  After this incident, she decided she needed to be more like a mother than a bully to the children and so started complimenting them and let them have some fun. 

the thorntwaite inheritance






I would like to recommend this book to anyone. The story is very complex and something interesting happens at nearly every page. I could never put the book down. It is very well written,funny and intriguing and with a very very unexpected ending! A must read! Alfred is the character who changed the most because at first he was nice and to be trusted but then he turned out to be the "bad guy". He was very capable of keeping everything a secret from the twins. He was so nice to them but all he wanted was  the inheritance. The change in alfred was so surprising.

Rain: Rise Of The Dead by Shaun Harbinger

I liked Mike's outspoken mind, the group's tactical plans and The Big Easy. The reason I like Mike's outspoken mind is because Alex was prone to make bad decisions especially where he wanted to save Eric, but Mike intervened and discovered he was as crazy as a loon, but they lost Elena from it. I liked the group's tactical plans because finding a boat to sustain life on is smart because they can fish and use the wind to get them where they wanted. Also, when they ran from the soldiers and escaped in a land rover. I liked The Big Easy because it reminded me of home and I liked how it felt like the only home free from zombies. I didn't like the army, Eric's desperation and Lucy's curiosity. I didn't like the army and the soldiers because they had done nothing but force people out into the open where they were exposed to zombies like bait. I didn't like Eric's desperation because if they didn't let him into the boat mike was dead and if zombies swarmed in at low tide all of sudden they were dead because their only exit is gone. I didn't like Lucy's curiosity because they could have left The Hornet to drift along the sea but Lucy put Alex's life and her own on the line because of it. If she didn't explore it then Mike wouldn't have been held at gunpoint by Harper and they wouldn't have lost Mike because he wouldn't of seen Elena among the other zombies. He wouldn't of also felt obliged to put her to rest along with himself. At the start of the book it was set in Wales then Swansea and ended in Scottish waters. The story follows Alex a video gamer getting a taste of real life zombies. He and his friends Mike, Elena and Lucy who set out to survive the virus outbreak. The book wasn't believable but I'd still rate it 7/10.

THE BUTTERFLY LION





This fast-paced book is about a young boy, Bertie Andrews who is obsessed with his white lion.  He was living in Africa and had to move to England for school. They sold the lion to the circus and he promised he'll see him again.  I'd recommend this book for kids ages 10-14 and I would give it a 8/10 rating.

I think a character who changed in the text was Morpurgo, qho at the start left school and and met granny.  At the beginning, he qwas shy and awkward around granny but as she started telling the story aboiut Bertie Andrews and drinking coffee they ere beginning to become friends.  Morpurgo listened and cared about what granny had to say.          By the end of everything he was OK to go back to school.               I think he just needed a small and cool break.








The Final Problem

This book was just fantastic."The Final Problem" is the last book in the "Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes", it is also the book where he faces Professor James Moriarty. This book was adapted for the episode "The Reichenbach Fall" on the TV series "Sherlock". I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Moriarty is Menacing and extremely intelligent and is definitely Holmes' equal. 10/10 I highly recommend it.

No characters seemed to change in this story. Holmes' was a bit more scared because of Moriarty. Watson was the same as he always is. Moriarty the same as he was introduced, "The Napoleon of Crime". He was creepy and you feared him. So only Holmes changed to become much less confident.

The Theme in this book is good versus evil but there is a sense of finality apparent also throughout the book. At the beginning of the book Watson talks about having a "heavy heart" while writing this and during the story giving the sense of finality and throughout the book they talk about Moriarty being Holmes' ultimate foe reflecting a theme of good versus evil.

The Maze Runner:The Scorch trials by James Dashner

This book is fantastic! You must be crazy if you haven't read it! It has everything you#d want in a book, action, drama, humour! It has an incredible, yet believable story line. Thomas, the main character and his best friends were put onto a desert, with no food or drink. And, no weapons! They soon realised they weren't the only people there, there were zombie-like creatures there with them. Also, a few other humans. They struggled to survive with zombies everywhere. They were ruthless. If you got bitten, within a week, the wound would have spread all through your body. A character who I thought changed in the book was Theresa. She was the only girl of the group. She seemed to be very loyal and trustworthy, only she wasn't! Thomas and Theresa always seemed to have a special connection after she passed out, she recognized Thomas. When the war was going on in the desert, the people who put them there came down to kill everyone, except Theresa. They protected her she was one of them! Thomas was devastated to find out that the woman he loved, was a murderer. She was taken away, to a safer place with the baddies, leaving her friends there to fight for their lives.

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

The Maze Runner
By James Dashner


This is a brilliant book it has loads of intense moments and is packed with action. The main characters are Thomas, Minho, Teresa and Newt. It is set in a maze. Thomas is new to the maze and wants to become a runner, even after seeing a griever. Grievers are like big mechanic spiders. A character called Ben gets stung and attacks Thomas. I would rate this book 10/10.

The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials.
This books a really good novel. It's about five boys and a girl who are all really good friends. They get stranded on a desert with no food or water to survive with. They also have no weapons apart from one gun to defend themselves with. They soon realise they are not the only people there. There are zombies with them.

This book is about Thomas going into the maze. As soon as he gets in the maze he wants to become a runner. In the maze there are creatures called grievers, they look like mechanic spiders. Alby shows him a griever through a window in the maze and even after that he still wants to become a runner. It is all organised in the maze and everybody is assigned a job. They have been searching for a way out for 2 years, but they never gave up. when Thomas became a runner they started finding clues and he found the way out. I would rate this book 10/10.
