Three character’s live from childhood to adulthood revolving around the demons. As the story goes on, these three characters are led into all different sticky situations which they always seem to barely escape.

** Genre: ** Fantasy/suspense

** My thoughts: ** My thoughts on this book were that it was i would rate this book a 9 out of ten really well written and that there was action throughout the whole book. There was never really a part where there was nothing happening and it was always something interesting. I would recommend this book to most people although I guess it is suitable for 13-15 and above.

** Rating: ** I would rate this book a 9 out of ten.

**Genre:** Suspense/adventure

The Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins



 * Synopsis: ** ‘The Hunger Games’, by Suzanne Collins, never tells the reader where the place it is based actually is. There are 12 districts and they all are owned by the capitol. Every year one girl and one boy under the age of 18 from each district are forced unwillingly into ‘The Hunger Games’. This is a to-the-death challenge against each of the districts.
 * Genre: ** fantasy/suspense/action
 * My thoughts: ** I thought this book was my kind of book. It had suspense, action and the writing was what I liked. But I also thought that the second and third of the series ruined it a little bit.
 * Rating: ** 8.5

The Illustrated Man



 * Synopsis: ** The illustrated man, written by Ray Bradbury was a book which is written with lots of different stories. These stories were all science fiction and were all good in a weird way. Some focused on racism and some on space.
 * Genre: ** Science fiction


 * My thoughts: ** My thoughts on this book are that it was not my style of a read and that the stories were too strange. A few of the stories were quite well written but overall not my style of writing.


 * Rating: ** I would rate this book 5/10, as I said I did not enjoy this book too much.
