Pillage

Pillage

By Obert Skye

Pillage was alright. What I felt after reading this was that it was a poorly-stitched-together story. First of all, the emotions were not expressed at ALL. Beck says the word "Grow," the ivy grows, and almost no reaction there. Basically: Oh, yeah, I can make plants bow to me at my command, no big deal. So the emotions weren't very realistic. The author did have a more realistic view of Beck's view on Kate, but very unromantic part when he kisses her. If you're actually going to have romance in a book, make it worth it! Worth noting, I didn't feel any sort of attachment to Beck, Kate, Milo, or any of the characters in the book. Third, this book is a bit of a whirlwind, jumping from one event to the next. Fourth, at the end of the book, not much of an epic conflict at all. And since when does the law give in so easily?! I mean, the video of the dragons could have been Photoshopped, for all they know, to cover up an incident where muggers lope into Kingsport and trash the place. On the pro's side: Clean language and easy-reading. 9-11 year olds is all I can recommend this to.

The Name of the Star (The Shades of London)

The Name of the Star (The Shades of London)

By Maureen Johnson

Honestly, this book was great, but it violent and slightly disturbing. It got weird at the part where the person fixed the video feed and replayed the history. It showed the victim getting chased by an invisible person and being slashed to death by a ghost. Alright, now to the plot: Rory arrived at a boarding school in England the same day that the Jack the Ripper reenactments started. Rory almost chokes to death and then she can see ghosts. The new serial killer turns out to be a ghost. She sees him one night before he murders someone and then she becomes his next target. A ghost kills him with a weapon that destroys them both right before he kills her. The end :/

You will be hooked from the beginning to the end, and it has a lot of unexpected twists. I recommend this book to boys and girls ages 11+.
