Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban

Author: J.K. Rowling

Title: Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban

Genre: Children’s Literature, Fiction, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Young Adult

Synopsis:

Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has already survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion. But his hopes for a quiet term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It's assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously.

 Review:

This book is gripping from the first page and I found it hard to stop reading and put the book down. This book is full of imagination and magic that transports you from the real world into the world in the story, When reading this book it is easy to become lost in the pages and forget about the real world. This book will be a good read for children and adults alike for many years to come and it is the kind of book that can be read over and over without getting bored of the story and the magic. This book will never become lost; it will be passed down from generation to generation and each generation will love it as much as the last as it is a magical experience and it transports the reader directly into the world of Harry Potter. Reading this book will make you feel like you are at Harry’s side fighting the fight against bad magic.

Book Review | Stephenie Meyer | Eclipse

Eclipse

Author: Stephenie Meyer

Title: Eclipse

Genre: Young Adult, Fiction

Synopsis:

Seattle is being ravaged by a huge amount of mysterious killings and a vampire continues her plans for revenge against Edward by trying to kill Bella. This leaves Bella surrounded by danger and whilst she is worrying about her safety she is forced to choose between her love for Edward, the vampire, and her friendship with Jacob, the werewolf, who are natural enemies. Bella knows her decision had the potential to increase the struggle between vampires and werewolves. Bella is due to graduate and she has to make the decision between life or death.

Review:

As with the first two twilight books it took me a couple of chapters to get into the book properly but then I was gripped and just couldn’t bring myself to stop reading and put the book down. This book is perfect for young adults or anyone who is interested in romance, fiction or supernatural tales as this book is a mixture of all three themes. The plot line follows on from the previous two books and the plot of them all together makes the perfect supernatural romance story line that can keep people hooked for days or even weeks. I recommend this book set even if Twilight never appealed to you as I gave it a chance after thinking it would be a bad story line and absolutely loved them and I am now onto the last book of the set.

Being in love with a vampire was a very dangerous thing, more dangerous than she could have imagined. Edward had rescued Bella from the attack of an evil vampire but now their relationship threatened that those who were near and dear to Bella and Edward. This made them realise that their troubles were just beginning.

Review:

When I started to read this book it took me a couple of paragraphs to get into the book as with twilight but when I did get into the book, I was hooked and it was impossible to stop reading and put the book down. This book is the carry on to Twilight and it is perfect for the young adult or anyone who is into fiction, romance or the supernatural. This book continues to mix the supernatural with romance as the main female character refuses to give up her love for the vampire. I recommend reading this book even if it has not appealed to you as I once thought that the twilight books would be a bad read until I read them and then I was hooked and in love with these books.

Review:

When I first picked up the book to read it took me a couple of paragraphs to get into the storyline and then I was hooked and found it extremely hard to put the book down. This is a brilliant book and it is perfect for young people who love to read fiction books and love a bit of the supernatural. This book mixes the supernatural with a love story. This book is part of a set and they are all about love, vampires and werewolves. Even if this book does not sound appealing, I recommend reading it anyway as I once thought that the Twilight book set was bad until I actually took the time to read them and then I was in love with this book and went from one twilight book to the other as I just couldn’t stop reading.
