Mister Monday

by Garth Nix
- Rated 4 stars
“I really enjoyed this book. It was one that forever keeps you on the edge of your seat, and it has a really inriguing starting. A story about a Will that is safeguarded in 7 pieces, and how one escapes, and how a boy who is supposed to be dead, lives, and follows the instructions of the Will to do wonders. I'm looking forward to reading the next book. And, um, I haven't explained the story properly at all.”

The Testament

by John Grisham
- Rated 4 stars
“It was a really interestikng book, and wiped away the bad impression that ui had of John Grisham after reading his book, the..um..i dont know what it was called, but it was horrid. It took me a lot of courage to borrow this book, and thank goodness, i wan't disappointed...it was areally interesting story, with a totally unexpected ending. An amazing good read, but a few chapters towards the end of the book were a luittle boring, but overall, it was to-tal-ly worth the read.”

The Alchemist

by Paulo Coelho
- Rated 5 stars
“Everybody kept saying that this book was really good, but I wasn't exactly very keen on it, as I had tried reading one of Coelho's books, and hadn't liked it much. But I tried this one, and found it to be really awesome. Makes you think over all that the hero ponders on...awesome book...absolutely worth the read..”

The Lost

by Alex Shearer
- Rated 4 stars
“It was a boring story at the start, just a bit too descriptive, like Anita Desai, but then it got really better, and was nail biting interesting, and then got boring again, and then had quite a good ending. A book worth a read surely, I feel. Do try it.”

The Pretty Committee Strikes Back

by Lisi Harrison
- Rated 3 stars
“I actually liked this book a lot, and was better than most plots concerning eight graders, but I personally thought that the ending was a horrid one, and that the author totally messed it up there. And also, the story seems to be more from the point of view of one girl from the clique(Claire), and though the prespective of the other girls have also been described, I feel that the author has been partial to Claire, but not exactly complaining though, 'cause I really enjoyed reading the book.”
