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?

Winning Through by Brian Irvine

This story about a footballer who achieved fame and fortune buth at club level and international level and how he was devastated when being told he had MS and the story tells of how it affected his career and subsequently his marriage. The the story tells of how he recovered.

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
