Falling Awake

I have just finished reading a book called ' Falling Awake'. Falling awake was written by Vivien French. This book hads a crime related story and was set in a dark alleyway.

Falling Awake had text that was easy to read and understand. The story was really good, you could never be sure if the main character in the story was evergoing tomake it through all the trouble that they had got themselves into.

The book was about a young lad called Danny. Danny becomes friends with a young lad called Spike. Spike and Danny became friends with another young lad called Bullet Brown. Bullet Brown came up with a easy money making scheme - not something that i would call easy, he was in fact talking about drug dealing. Bullet Brown was a big time drug dealer that gets caught out in the end.

This book deserves a star rating of four as it was well written. Keep up the good work

Someone Like Me

I have just read a book called 'Someone Like Me'. This was a book that was part of the quick read collection and was written by Tom Holt. This book was all about a hunter's adventure and was set in a tunnel deep underground.

This book had text that was easy to read and understand. The language was also very easy to understand. I really enjoyed the story but i was a little disapionted with the ending, it never actually explained what it was that the hunter was actually looking for.

This story was all about a who was sent to find the creature that had attacked andkilled three humans for food. After these two creatures had attacked their prey, they ran off in different directions, each leaving a trail of blood stained footprints behind them. The hunter followed the footprints and soon came face to face with the first creature, he managed to kill the creature safely without to much injury to himself, but the second saw the hunter having more of a physical challenging resulting in himalmost losing his arm and nearly his life.

This book was fantastic it had me hooked right from the first page. I was a little bit disapionted with the ending, i would have loved to have known what the creatureactually was. The book deserves a rating of three, the ending could have been better.
