Nightspell


NightSpell sounds interesting, but once I picked it up a couple of months ago, I simply could not finish it. The plot did not make any sense to me, and the characterization wasn''t very strong in my opinion. However, this book is good for younger children who would like to read a fantasy book, but for me, as a teenager reading this book, it seemed too shallow.

Abandon

Abandon, by Meg Cabot, gives the reader a new perspective on the myth of Hades and Persephone. Enter John Hayden, the "Hades" part of the myth. He rules the Underworld, a place where all the dead people go. Our heroine, Pierre, doesn't have much in common with John, until she dies herself. Once in the Underworld, she somehow cheats death . . . and comes back to life. But life will never be the same, since John wants to bring her back to the Underworld. Will she go?

Abandon was a quick read for me, since I love reading fantasy. I'd recommend this book to people who like fantasy or if someone just wants a quick read. Abandon also incorporates elements of realistic fiction, such as school, so while reading this book, a person can relate to it.

Teeth

Teeth is a collection of short stories. As for the stories themselves, they revolve around one common topic: vampires. Vampirism in the stories is varied, for example in one story a vampire can stand light, and in another a vampire can’t. The stories are mysterious, sorrowful, cruel or hopeful, and they all use relatively modern language.
For me, some stories were page turners for me, others I didn’t really like for some reason or other, such as a story being pointless in my view. I generally prefer to read fantasy, not much realistic fiction, which explains why I didn’t prefer some of the stories; Teeth is a mixture of both. I recommend this book to people who generally aren’t picky the genre they read, it’s a good choice if the reader wants a fast read.
