Star Sullivan

Over the last week i have been reading a book called Star Sullivan. The book was written by Maeve Binchy. The book is part of the quick read collection. The quick read collection is short books with many different storylines, many of which i have enjoyed reading

I enjoyed reading this book as it had text that was easy to read and the language was plain and easy to understand. The story i felt could have lasted longer, it would have been nice to see if Star Sullivan got the man of her dreams.

The story was about Oona 'Star' Sullivan who was given the name Star because she was no trouble at all and she was always smiling. As the story goes on you learn a lot more about Star and her family. You learn things such as her dad is a gambler and her brother is a criminal but Star is always there to help and make things better. One day a nice young boy called Laddy moves in next door and Star falls in love only to get her heart broken. After starting work at the local supermarket tyo help bring money into the house, Star discovered that dhe had an admirer but after two disastorous dates they realized that irt was not meant to be . Could this family have a happy ending? Well! You will need to read the book to find out.

I would recomend this book to anyone and would give it a star rating of four and a half. Enjoy your reading as i think it was a fantastic read.

first time

This is the first time that I am writing a blog. I like the computer because you can find a lot of things in it. I did like the lesson when I came to do the blogging.

Last two weeks I read a book called Ugly and it was so good I couldn't put it down . I cried a lot. you don't believe how cruel some people can be. now I am going to read The Boy called it. it was a good book.

I can't believe that it has take me one hour and a half to write this. I am so slow I am trying to write more so Idon't feel bad.

the 6th target by james patterson

i did like this book alot i could not put it down and it kept u in suspence there was little chapters in between big chapters and this kept u wonting to find out what happend within each chapter
i felt the little chapters had there own little crimes with in them .
it is based on alot of crime ,murders and kidnapping i also felt i was getting on an insight into how the police force worked with out it being told in so many words.

Love or Money

I have just read a book called Love or Money. The book was written by Rowena Akinyemi. The book is part of the quick reaa collection. The quick read collection is short books with great storylines covering all types of circumstances from murder to happiness. Iwould say that there is something for everyones taste.

I really enjoyed this book. It had text that was easy to read and the language in the book i found was easy to understand. i could not put this book down, it was that good. It was a story that kept you guessing, you were never sure what was going to happen next.

The story was about the Clarkson family. It was Molly's birthday and she was very rich. Molly decided that she just wanted to have a small party. Everyone that was at molly's party wanted to get there hands on all her money but she was noit going to let any of them have it. After going to bed after an arguement with them all, Molly's daughter wanted everyone to go into Molly's room to say goodnight. Did her daughter have a reason for this? Someone who went to visit molly in her room gave her mother thatn just a visit to say goodnight.

The ending of this book surprised me as i never thought for a minute that the persons that was arrested by the police was infact the culprit.

Enjoy reading this wonderful book. I have given it a star rating of five. Can we have some more books like this please?

I found that this story was a little bit inspirational at the way he recovered after the MS almost finished his carrer and almost his marriage. The stry is not perfect but it is a good quick read story and give it a rating of 4 stars
