Fallen Ängel

Posted on December 19, 2010 by Yrsha

Fallen Ängel – Becca Fitzpatrick

Original title: Hush, Hush

I give this book 5 stars out of 5 possible.

Nästa bok i serien heter Crescendo, den har inte kommit ut på svenska än. Kan nog tänka mig att läsa den på engelska också.

Det finns ett sätt att bli en människa när man är en fallen ängel. Att döda rätt person. Men varför just Nora? Är det på grund av hennes släktskap?

Det här är en bok som är svår att berätta vad den handlar om, men helt glasklart när man läser den.

Jag har läst en del recensioner av Fallen ängel och många har jämfört den med Twilight. Jag tycker att den här boken har en helt annan karaktär än vad Twilight har. Det är en annorlunda men bra bok som definitivt är värd att läsa.

To Kill A Mockingbird

Posted on November 29, 2010 by Alicia

Original Title: To Kill A Mockingbird

I give this book 3.5 stars out of a possible 5

‘To Kill A Mocking Bird’ by Harper Lee was set in the time where racism is high against negroes and everyone looks down on them. In the town of Maycomb, Atticus, Scouts father is a lawyer and has been given the case to defend a black man, Tom Robinson acused of rape. Atticus acepts the case and defends him in court though everyone is calling him a ‘nigger lover’ and treating his family with disrespect.

Harper Lee has written this book very cleverly from Scout’s point of view. By writing from Scouts view Harper has shown that if you look at things from a 6 year olds point of view, what you think was right is actually wrong.

Kapten Grants barn

Posted on November 7, 2010 by Yrsha

Kapten Grants barn – Jules Verne

Original title: Les enfants du Capitaine Grant

I give this book 4 stars out of 5 possible.

Lord Glenarvan hittar ett kryptiskt meddelande som får honom att ge sig iväg på en expedition för att leta rätt på kapten Grant som har varit försvunnen i flera år. Med honom följer kapten Grants två barn Robert och Mary, major Mac Nabbs och den tankspridde professorn Paganel.
Frågan är hur lätt det kommer att hitta kapten Grant när dokumenten de hittade blivit fuktskadade och kan därför inte läsa ut hans position helt säkert…

Jag tyckte om den här boken, jag har inte läst några böcker av Jules Verne förut men tänkte läsa igenom de vi hade hemma. Jag tycker att det är lite roligt att Jules Verne bland annat skriver ut en engelsmans perspektiv trots att han själv är fransman.

Helt klart värd att läsa.

The Struggle

Posted on October 30, 2010 by Yrsha

The Struggle – L. J. Smith

Original title: The Struggle

I give this book 4 stars out of 5 possible.

Book two in the Vampire Diaries series. The first one is called The Awakening. The series is continued by The Fury, The Reunion, The Return: Nightfall and The Return: Shadow Souls.

I actually thought this book was a little bit better than the first one. I don’t think the next book I’m going to read is The Fury because the last 10 books I’ve read have been in English and about vampires. I’m going to read something completely different in Swedish without any vampires vampires. I think.

The Awekening

Posted on October 30, 2010 by Yrsha

The Awakening – L. J. Smith

Original title: The Awakening

I give this book 4 stars out of 5 possible.

Elena is used to be the “queen”, the popular, the one who always gets what she wants. She wants Stefan, the new mysterious boy. He’s hiding a secret, a secret that’ll change Elena’s life for ever…

This is the first book in the Vampire Diaries series. Book two, three and four is called The Struggle, The Fury and Dark Reunion

I thought this book would be a little different. I can’t really explain how I thought it was going to be. But I like it anyway, it’s a good story.

Book number seven in the House of Night series. The earlier books in the series is Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed, Hunted and Tempted. The last book in the series is called Awakened and is coming out in January 2011.

Jinx

Posted on October 27, 2010 by Yrsha

Jinx – Meg Cabot

Original title: Jinx

I give this book 4.5 stars out of 5 possible.

Jinx has really bad luck. She’s visiting her cousin’s family to get away from the trouble she has at home. The problem is that Jinx cousin doesn’t seem to like Jinx so much. She also thinks that she’s a witch and is trying to use spells to get what she wants.

I’ve read this book once before. It was a few years ago and didn’t really remember what it was about so I decided to read it again. It’s a very nice book. I like Meg Cabot’s writing style, it’s not a very hard English and at the same time nice to read. I recommend Meg Cabot’s books.

The sixth book bok in the House of Night series. The earlier books are Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed and Hunted. The next two books are Burned and Awakened. Awakened is coming out in January 2010.

Hunted

Posted on October 24, 2010 by Yrsha

Hunted – P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

Original title: Hunted

I give this book 5 stars out of 5 possible.

Hunted is the fifth book in the House of Night Series. The earlier books is Marked, Betrayed, Chosen and Untamed. The next books are Tempted, Burned and Awakened.

I think this series is one of the ones you have to read if you like vampires! There should be more series like this.
