Witch And Wizard

Witch and Wizard

9/10

This is much better than my last read, thankfully. It was really interesting and has an awesome storyline. I was happy to jump right into a fast paced, fantasy story that had almost no deep meaning, no complicated relationships, no BLOODY 20 PAGE BIOGRAPHY'S OF CHARACTERS WHO AREN'T REALLY IMPORTANT! it was just a good clean read and for that it got a higher review than it would have had I read it just after 'Five Greatest Warriors' for example.

One of the things that annoyed me was the system of government that the bad guys use. The leader is called "The One Who Is The One" then there's "The One Who Judges" and "The One Who Enforces" it all become very annoying but thankfully, that's the point and the main character makes fun of them at regular intervals with hilarious results. The New Order has also banned books, music and anything else that could possible be counted as creative, it is a world of science.

Regardless I really liked it. It is a very Sci-Fi/Fantasy heavy storyline so if your not really into that sort of thing then maybe give it a miss. One thing that I found was a nice perk was that there are a few words, not too many, that looked like they were made up for the book. they gave it a sense of being its own story and gave the world an edge of realism. As a tribute I wall right the last paragraph with some of these words.

This is not a cantrip and I'm no naysayer, this book is real pukka. So whether your a curve, straight and narrow or an Erlenmeyer, like me, get all your friends, meet at the nearest Dickensian Mingus and get the book. Then read it in class and get a detention. Your book will also be burned by order of The One Who Is The One.

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 Way Of Shadows

The Way Of Shadows

10/10

This book is, for want of a more technical term, really good. I thoroughly enjoyed reading a book about one of my favourite period of history, with a light sprinkling of things like magic and impossible occurrences. This delacate balance causes a book to be incredibly interesting and kept me geussing with a multitude of different twists and turns that finally ends with both an interesting conclusion and a cliffhanger opening that makes reading the sequel "Shadow's Edge" the top priority on my reading list.

The book centers around a young boys dream to become the apprentice of the deadliest assasin in the city. It's an awesome read and has all of the features of a book well worth reading. I fail to see a way that it could be any better and cant wait to read the other two books in the series. Well worth a detention.
