Raven's Gate
Anthony Horowitz
Hi guys. We're sorry its been such a long time since we've posted anything.
I am an emotional wreck at the moment I have just finished the last book from The Power of Five series by Anthony Horowitz and I just have one thing to say, Anthony Horowitz broke my heart. But, I can't say anything about that yet because that would be ruining the entire series for you. So, I'm going to be writing about the first book of the series, Raven's Gate ( Which BTW is followed by Evil Star, Night Rise, Necropolis and Oblivion respectively ). It all begins when Matt or Matthew Freeman gets in trouble with the police and is sent to be fostered by Jayne Deverill in the LEAF project in Lesser Malling, Yorkshire. It doesn't take him long to realize that there's something wrong with his guardian and the entire village. He learns about the Old Ones and begins to realize and understand just how different he is. He meets Richard Cole a journalist from the Gazette and somehow they become best friends, well, more than best friends their practically brothers and together they unravel the mystery that is Nexus, Omega One, Lesser Malling and Matt himself. But I will say this book will make you cry or at least feel something ( well if you have a heart ). They are deaths, they are deaths that you wouldn't care much about, they are deaths you would care about, they are deaths that you would be happy about...well not exactly happy, you'd have a sense of satisfaction about the death...I guess,they are deaths you would cry about and they are deaths where you would bawl yours eyes out every time you here the person's name throughout the entire series but the last type of death didn't come to me till the very end. The series is a sad one but then again most of the books I read are sad ones. But I do not regret reading the series and I don't think I ever will and that us why I think everyone should read this series and if they ever made it into a movie I'd be glad well as long as they don't mess up the story-line. Everyone should read this book. They should and I say this with all my heart.
Inez.

by Veronica Roth
This book to me is an "okay" sort of book. Its not that its not nice its just a little too...romantic for my liking. I mean I'm fine with kissing and stuff but talking about how you feel when you touch them, how you fit perfectly together and how you want each other its kind of a little bit too much for a 14 year old like me to enjoy. ( I am just putting out my opinion it doesn't mean it has to be the same as yours ) Divergent was made into a movie last year, 2014 and even though I believe that the book is always better than the movie this time it wasn't. To me the movie was better because they omit some of the more violent scenes like attempted gang rape, a knife plunged into someone's eye and the and her kissing him happens a lot in the book but very little in the movie. So big thumbs up to them. Some people have compared this book to the hunger games and said that this book is less violent but, even though 22 teens die but their deaths are mostly quick a snap of the neck, a arrow in the neck, a stab of a sword. All the deaths were fast okay except Cato's and maybe Rue's death but other than that quick or instant deaths but in divergent you have to fight each other till one of you knocks out and can't continue. I mean that's kind of like torture and they have to do it every single day which is really painful but there are some good points that I haven't talked about like how Tris and Tobias really do love each other and how brave and kind and selfless Tris is but I leave that for you to figure out if you decide to read it.
There are 5 factions Abnegation, Candor, Amity , Erudite and Dauntless
This book is on Tris's life when she starts in Abnegation with herbrother Caleb ( committed to selflessness) going through a test finding out she's divergent and chooses Dauntless ( courage and bravery ) and her brother chooses Erudite during the choosing ceremony and the hiding of her divergence during initiation process, the process of eliminating unworthy initiates that do not measure up to the faction's standard leaving them factionless which means that they live their lives with no meaning not belonging to any faction but their own group of factionless people and where she meets her instructor, Four a,k.a. Tobias Eaton . The Erudite and Dauntless are plotting to overthrow the leading faction/ the government, Tris's old faction, where her parents live and are a part of, Abnegation. Being divergent she and Tobias ( yes he's divergent too... well not really but that's later in the series ) are the only ones who can stop Jeanine, the head of Erudite from taking over completely. DO THEY SUCCEED... READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT.
All in all its a good book but its a little too much for me and if they turned it down a little it would be better. Again this only my opinion it doesn't have to feel as if I read your mind. That's all next one is coming out in a couple more hours about 7-8 more hours give or take. OKAY. BYE
