This is my reading page.

Previous books i have read.

The Saga of Darren Shan are one of my favourite books series ever and written by my favourite author, Darren Shan. Forget Twilight these are the real vampire books. Darren Shan puts a big twist on what we know about vampires from previous books, these books envelop you in a different world where the two factions of vampires are in war and world destruction is a posiblility. A fabulous read of 12 great books especially the last 6 are awesome I encourage any horror/vampire lovers to read these they are great!!!



The Demonata are another great series by Darren Shan and are probably the best book series I have ever read. Once again Darren Shan has managed to change everything we believe about demons and changed it into something better. A fabulous storyline that throws you into the world of demon hunters, werewolves and much much more. This is an unputdownable series (i read all ten books in about a month or two) and i encourage any fantasy/horror lovers to try this series out.

Wolf of the Plains by Conn Iggulden is one of the best books I have ever read. It is about the forming of Genghis Khan the king of the Mongols. This book was very authentic because the Author stayed in Mongolia and learnt the history and ways of the Mongolian people for a year. It is a great story and entises you to read more every time you pick it up. I recommend this book for anyone who likes a bit of history mixed with action.

The Thin Executioner by Darren Shan is a great stand-alone adventure/action novel unlike his normal horror genre of writing. It is a good book and is about a young skinny boy named Jebel Rum whos father if the Executioner of the Um Aineh. He wants to take his fathers job but he is not strong enough so he goes on a quest to gain invincibility and along the way learns compassion and returns home to claim his father's job. Darren Shan is my favourite author and i encourage everyone to read his books especially, //The Demonata Series and the Saga of Darren Shan// are great books and i recommend them to anyone who likes vampires, demons and a bit of horror.

A Web of Air by Philip Reeve was not one of his best books from the Mortal Engines series but was still alright. It wasn't as enticing as his previous books but was still good in explaining the story. I think it could have had more action and a better storyline.

Contest by Matthew Reilly is another great book by Matthew Reilly it encorperated suspence, action and loads of thrills. Dr. Stephen Swain is thrown into the New York State library, which for one night will be the venue for a contest but Swain isn't prepared for what awaits. He either wins or dies and when his daughter Holly is brought in with him he will do anything to survive.

I read The Stand by Stephen King who is a famous horror author and has had many books made into movies. The Stand is an apocalyptic horror book where the whole of America is covered in a disease that can jump from person to person within seconds. This book is 1000+ pages long and is a good long read it is also filled with challenging dialogue. This is a great read for anyone who like a long, challenging read with a great apocalyptic storyline. This book would be ratd MA15+ or R18+ for any who are reading so keep that in mind.

Seven Ancient Wonders by Matthew Reilly incorporates a great fictive storyline with real life fact and conspiracies hes uses lots of similarities in the facts about the ancient wonders to create a great action packed storyline that you cant put down.

A great sequel to seven ancient wonders, Matthew Reilly never stops the action in his books and with an original and exciting storyline this book is hard to put down.

An awesome and exciting end to an exciting and original series I recommend this series to anyone who loves a good action packed thriller of a book.

I am Currently Reading: A great sequel to Wolf of the plains, a great historically accurate story of Genghis Khan and his rise to power over a large section of the world.

I am hoping to read next: I am hoping to read Birth of a Killer by Darren Shan as soon as i can get my hands on it since Darren Shan is my favourite author and this a prequel series to a great series i read //the Darren Shan Series//.
