The Maximum Ride Series

The Maximum Ride Series
James Patterson
9/10

This is my first series review, yaaay!:)
and What a way to start, The Maximum Ride is awesome. it consists of 5 books, The Angel Experiment, Schools Out Forever, Saving the World And Other Extreme Sports, The Final Warning and Max. They are super easy to read with no chapter being more than four pages long and the writing being simple and easy to understand.

The story revolves around around the endeavours of a flock of mutant bird kids. Yes thats right, MUTANT BIRD KIDS. They are human in almost every aspect, except they have wings. What procedes is essentially the tale of all the troubles that they run into as there are a number of scientists who do not want the world to know about their, 'experiments'

Outrageously funny, witty and with a killer storyline Maximum Ride is a series worth a detention and then another.

The Book Thief

The Book Thief

10/10

Attention All Saps! I have found a story worthy of your time! This book is perfect for those of you who want a story of love, courage, loyalty. All those other things that make a story fantastic- There is no epic hero, no legions of enemies hunting the hero who doesn't exist, no ring of power that could bring the end of the world. There is a mountain of fire, but it is not used to destroy a ring (that doesn't exist) being carried by a hero (who doesn't exist) who's being chased by an army of bad guys (who, also, don't exist)

Even though none of these things the book is still capable of moving even the most unfeeling of my classmates. The story follows a little girl who is living in Nazi Germany and unlike many of the other books written about this time, she's German!
(<:0Shock Horror) It tells us that not all of the Germans were Nazi's. Her family is against good ol' Adolf and everything he stands for. What they do whilst his leadership dooms Germany will prove that even in something as bad as the holocaust love can be found and everything that happens will come to a conclusion that may bring a tear to your eye.

Warning! Not for the not so faint of heart. this book is truly amazing and I'm telling you to make it a book that you read before you leave school. Worth a detention and a bad nickname for crying in class.
