The Crown of Earth

The Crown of Earth is the third and final book for the series The Shield,The Sword and The Crown series.It is written by Hilari Bell and was published in 2009.

The good
.Like the first two books it has a wonderful cover.
.Like I've said before I like that there are a torot card to represent each chapter.
.Edoran journey with Arisa was humorous

The bad
.Weasel and Justice Holis practically didn't appear at all.
.The Shield,Sword and Crown were just old rusty artifacts that have nothing to do with magic(This explanation must sound stupid but I actually really believe that the artifacts will be something magical.I know I already complain about this but I thought something will happen when all three artifacts gather sadly it didn't.

Quick summary
The Falcon has kidnapped Weasel because Weasel wore Prince Edoran's coustume so Edoran decide to go to meet Falcon and save him.He ask his servant to wake him up early so he can follow the soldier to meet the falcon but the servant like all the workers once had work with Pettibone.The servant just leave him to sleep for the whole afternoon.When Edoran wakes up he was furious because his servant didn't listen to him he sneaked out of the castle and on his way he met Arisa............That's all for now

Quick summary
I actually thought that I wasn't going to buy the third book because eventhough I liked the first two books I thought that the third will be a dissapointment.Last week I didn't really have that much money so I decided to just buy the book and I find that I really liked the book eventhough I hoped there was more intruiging feeling like the second book.The book's ending might be little dissappointing but it is still an enjoyable and fun book to read.

Rating;8 out of 10

I Am Number Four

I am number Four is a book written by Pittacus Lore.It is published in 2010.It is the first book of the series(there are six).It recieve many positive reviews.The movie will come out vey soon.

The good
.It has a brilliant story,lots of action and great characters.

The bad
I think the author should have made Mark amd Number 6 appear more.

Quick summary
There were 9 aliens from planet Lorien(they look like humans)and their guardian which were sent to earth when their planet were destroyed by The Mogadorians so that their race still lives on.After they arrived at home they all parted their way.They all put under a spell so that the can only be killed by their position numbers.Unless they meet each other then the spell will be broken and everybody can be killed.When each of the aliens die a scar will appear on their body so that they know that the Magodrians are closing in on them.After a coupl of years there are three scar on John Smith body he knows he is in danger because he is number 4.John and Henri(his guardian)quickly moves to Paradise,Ohio.There he befriended a girl named Sarah Hart and a boy who is obsessed about aliens sam Goode at the school........That all I can say.

The conclusion
I am number 4 is a book filled with action.It has great characters and a great story.It does make me wonder what is store for us for the next five books.It may not give an impact like Harry Potter but it does prove to be very enjoyable.

The Kill

The Kill is the final book of the series the forbidden game.Like the first two it is about Jenny trying to free from Julian clutches and saving her friends.It was written by L.J Smith and published in 1994 like the first and second book.

The good
.I love the ending(I think it was aperfect ending for the book)
.This time it shows Julian human characteristic more(which is very good since I never thought that he was that evil)

The bad
.The other characters(beside Jenny)doen't shine like the first two.
.Some suprises in the story makes me hate the book much more because it ruins everything.

Quick summary
Jenny and her friend went to her granfather house to search for clues about the Shadow Men so they went into her grandfather house only to be sent to the shadow realm by Julian.They find themselves in a twisted version of a carnival like the one they visited in the morning.After a while Julian appeared and tells them they have to find three dubloons he will let them go.Whille they were searching for the dubloons they saw Summer....................that's all for now

The conclusion
The final book of the series wraps the story up nicely.Unfortunaly Dee and Michael(my favourite character)doesn't seem to shine that much I mean they do appear and have some conversations but I just felt like they were unimportant.Some suprises do ruin the stories because the suprise makes the story less scary and it ruins the first two book for me.But putting that aside the kill is a wonderful book to end the series.
