A Fate Worse Than Death. Book review by Lizzi 8RB

Posted by: year8librarian | June 6, 2008 |

‘Meet the Huns: Danielle, Brooke & Tiffany’A Fate Worse Than Death tells the spooky story of three schoolgirls: the Huns. Evil and twisted these three girls will do anything to get their way – even murder. However when new girl Helga appears on the scene, the girls feeling threatened plot a way to get rid of her, but are stopped in their tracks when strange things begin to happen - things that can only be described as a fate worse than death. 

Danielle, leader of the pack has a very superstitious nature and is easily spooked. With an ability to hide her emotions, she is awed by most and respected by all.  

Brooke, quiet and shy is much more of a hanger on with no real evil intentions, but a desire to please her friends and be known. 

Tiffany is a mix between the both. With a high opinion of herself, she too is well respected, but her desire to be top overpowers her evil thoughts.  

Although the beginning of the book is quite slow, it’s definitely worth persevering with. Full of drama, it’s a great read with a mysterious plot and a twist of fate. The writer’s simple style adds to the mystery and helps build pace whilst keeping you in suspense.  

The end of this book is really clever as out of the many possible and predictable endings, the real end is completely different and extremely surprising.
