People who love horses and creepy mansions.
I have read a book called Seeing Red by Phil Thompson.
If you like voilent stuff and football you will like this book.
I didn't like this book because it was basicly the same story every chapter.
I don't know really who this book would suit.
The best chapter would probilly be Celtic vs Rangers in the Scotish Cup quater final Celtic had three men sent off and Rangers had there key player knocked out Celtic went on to win the game two-nill.The second best was Leeds vs Oldham fighting for relegation in the Barclays Premership 1976 Leeds midfeilder was knocked out and Olhams Chairman run on the picth to punch the refiree in the face.
The book i read was called 'The Stones of The Moon'.It was written by Judy Allen.I didn't really enjoy this book but i thought it had good characters and good character discription.It had really interesting story lines but it kept jumping back and forth.
My favourite character was Jane who was David's (The main Character) best friend .The story was about a boy called David who lives in Yorkshire.His dad works as a Roman Mosaic and when David is on a nearby hillside he dicuvers there is an ancient stone circle .The circle interests David so he checks it out.When David steps inside the circle he finds out a secret that only he knows.

Jessie will do anything to stop it happening but not on her own,so what happens when Jessie starts hearing voices from a strange woman and her cousin Jack from America comes to visit for the first time ?
I read a bookcalled 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' by Pauline Francis.
This book would be good for people who don't like long books because it was very short and straight to the point.
I didn't enjoy it too much but it did have good discrption and it also had really good characters.
It was about a boy who's uncle is a scientist ,Uncle finds a puzzel on an old piece of paper so he eventualy worked it out and it turned out to be a map to the center of the earth so his Uncle decides that hima nd Axel (His Nephew) will take the trip .On the way they have to overcome many problems.They come to dead ends and dangerous animals ,it really keeps you on the end of your seat !!!!!

Saskais Journey
By Theresa Breslin.
This book was about a girl who went to Scotland to spend a few weeks with her aunt Alessandra.She was really excited as it was a big house and the main bit was because it was near the sea.She absolutely loved the sea.
My opinion of the book was that i quite enjoyed it but half way throo it ,it got boring because she went into the hospital with a broken ankle and told you loads of un interesting info and detail,but it told you good descriptive things so that was quite.I liked Saskai the best.She was the main character.
This book is suitable for anyone who is in secondary and anyone who likes big long stories.

Double Act by Jaqueline Wilson
Star Wanabies, Twin Sisters, Ruby & Garnet do Everything Together.
When their Dad gets a new girlfriend after their mother dies
and when they have to move and leave their gran behind the twins fight back. My Favourite part was the heartwarming ending, but Out of The Two Twins Garnet ( The Qiuet One ) Was Definetly My Favourite. From Running Away To Film Set, Auditioning For A World Famous Role As Twins, Falling Out With Each Other And Trying To Get Into Boarding School These Two Girls Are Definetly One Of A Kind.
I Would Recomend This Book To Anyone Who Has A Good Imagination.

They move to a new house in scotland but it was not a house it was in a forest. It was a big dark castle. It had ghosts in it from years ago.The ghosts were from the war.I liked this book because it is a good story and it is good to see what happens next.The best bit is the part when they turn up at the castle and it looks scary.
I think the book is sutable for people that like croked castles i think this book is for for the age of 8 years up due to the ghosts and croked old people.

Storm Ghost
by Louise Cooper.
This is a scary book.The scary bits are when the characters go to sea.The mane character in the story is called Mark.Mark did not believe in ghosts or anyhing but one day when he is sailing something happens to make him change his mind.You'll have to read on to find out more.
Another good bit in teh story wass whem Mark falls into the sea then his Uncle saves him and then they are stranded in the stormy seas and they shout for help and call for sos.
My opinions of this book is a good opinion because it was quite scary.
I think this book is suitablefor people at the ages of 12+.Anyone would like this book because it gives a lot of good information and descriptions and it is like and adventurous story.If you are not that food of ghost,sports etc then you would be better off with a different one as it is quite scary
