Fallen - Book Review                                      14/12/11


This book is about a girl named LuceShe is the main 
protagonist of the novel. She has black hair and hazel eyes. Luce used to see shadows and soon she realized that the shadows didn’t go to anyone but her. The shadows had no shape or size they were very sinister though. When Luce tries to tell her parents about the shadows, they took her to psychiatrists and psychologists who put her on anti-psychotic drugs. This did not make the shadows abate. Years later, as she grew up, she acted like a normal teenager so that she could get away from the medicines which were doing no good, and her trip to hospitals. She was invited to a beach party by her friends where she meets Trevor. Trevor was caught in a cabin which caught on fire after Luce and Trevor kissed. After this accident, Luce was sent to a reform school called Sword and Cross. I think the book was very interesting and I would recommend teenagers to read it.

This Book is about a London Girl who’s on holiday in Bangkok/Thailand and she gets kidnapped at the airport by an Australian who drugs her and takes her on a plane to a deserted area in the middle of nowhere in Australia. She is trapped there and desperately tries ways of escaping, but the next town is 100s of miles away. She has no chance. Her captor just wanted to have company as he is the only human in that area. But Gemma (the kidnapped Girl ) hates him, he took her life away from him, she even thinks of killing him... But Ty (The Man’s Name) loves her and isn’t a killer, he’s really nice to her. This Book is a letter to Ty from Gemma. I really love this book because it’s thrilling, and you get mixed emotions reading it. It’s one of those books that you don’t want to put down
