Scared to Death by Alan Gibbons


Up to date Jack the Ripper type story with a sinister twist. Locations that are believable to the events and teenagers that are real (or are they)? This story was slow to start but has suddenly made an impact. The story revolves around Redman a character you will not forget in a hurry. His relationship with other characters (I won't name them, cos that might spoil things). All night parties, fighting at school, girlfriends, best friends and much more in this modern take on an old classic story. (or was it)?

Bad Blood - The End

Well I've finally finished Bad Blood and for the most part it was good a CHILLER. However the ending was not what I thought and I was a little disappointed. It became complicated and somewhat hurried. I would recommend this book but I would ask that you read carefully the last four chapters and really absorb the story as to make full sense of it all.

If you figure it out please let me know!

Bad Blood - The next few chapters

Well Fox isn't what I thought he was, Roley is great, John is lovely, even Kat and Cat are understandable, what I don't get is why people stay in such a house. I would have been out of there within minutes. Alice is mysterious she holds a few clues. Tip-toeing across floor boards, not human I think! A dolls house, an attic and a secret room what next, demons in trees?

Bad Blood. The Fox

Have just had my second encounter with The Fox. I really dislike this character. I don't know why, he just makes me feel nervous. Is he responsible for the wasps? Is he even real? Where did he come from? Cannot wait, but a part of me is apprehensive of a downward turn in the plot.

Am half way through the book. Delilah so delightful.

Bad Blood Continued.

More scary goings on in the Lake District. Trees which haunt you, shadows which follow you, and then of course there is Delilah. This family seriously need to pull together or I can for see bad things happening. Don't read this book at night time.

Book club starts soon and this book is on the reading list. I wonder how other people will like it?

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Finished this book yesterday, Bruno the German boy, Shmual the Polish Boy, the house named Out-With. (read and you will understand). Don't watch the film before you read the book. The ending is powerful. The story emotional, yes you guessed it I Loved it.

A powerful story simply told.
