Robin Hood


Title: Robin Hood
Author: Edith Heal
Pages: 626
Overall Rating: 4/5
Cover: 5/5
Characters: 5/5
Plot: 4/5


The only reason why I have not given this book a 5/5 in everything was because of it's involvement with the Holy Virgin, which I did not exactly appreciate, but if that was not in it I would without even thinking given it a 6/5. I liked it immensely and thought it was wonderful. The characters were amazing in every way. I was totally in love with the way Ms. Heal depicted Robin Hood. I have heard a lot of different versions of Robin Hood, and I have never so far found one that I have liked as much. I also liked all of his Merry Men. They were all lovable and loyal to the fullest extent. All in all I thought it all amazingly well done. I DEA PLY recommend this book to all lovers of adventure, that have a bit of wit and humor. I loved it...

Plot:

England is divided. The King is gone. And to top that all of the kings dim witted brother is trying to take over why he is away. Who could but help the nation at such a distressing time? None other than a seemingly lowly Saxon, by the name of Robin Hood. How is he going to help? By his wit and humorous Jokes on Rich and unsuspecting Normans. He steals from the rich and gives to the poor. All the while trying to help to unite England. In his quest there is to be found much laughter and yet sadness. Will he succeed in his quest?

A Time for Dancing



By: Wills Hurwin
Pages:257

This book was a definite cry-your-eyes-out book. It was REALLY sad, and VERY realistic. It had some not so good words in it, but was still very good. It is a book I think most best friends should read, because we some times take these things for granted, friends, good health, the ability to choose things for ones self. All in all I really liked it. Not one of my favorites, but still very good. It really shows how valuable life is. 

Plot: 

To make it short and sweet, it is about the best of friends. They do everything together, and have been doing so since they were nine. Everything is going great, until one of them gets sick, very sick. 

CAUTION: Do not read if you do not like crying books! (I still recommend it though, and I am not a big crying book fan.)

Double Identity


Story: 3/5
Charitors: 2/5
Over all: 2.5/5

This book was a very quick read,
and took me about 2 days. It was
about a 12 year old girl named
Bethany who has always got what
she has wanted. If she asked her
parents for something, of coarse s
he would get it. Her parents were
lways around. When she was invited
to sleep overs, they would always come
up with a reason why shecould not go.
So why, a few weeks before her 13th birthday,
does her parents drop her off at
her Aunt's house, who she has never
even herd of? And why has her
mom been crying so much lately?

I thought it was a decent book, but defiantly
not my favorite. It was crossed between
sifi and present day. I would not recomend
this book if you have ANYOTHER books you
were thinking of reading, but if you have NOTHING
to read, than go ahead and read it, because it is not
THAT bad.
