<p>Romeo and Juliet</p>
<p>Andrew Mathews and Tony Ross</p>
<p>Hey everyone, hope you enjoy this review on the children’s adaptation on Romeo and Juliet.</p>
<p>The story all begins when there are two rich families that have had bitter hatred between each other for centuries, the Montagues and the Capulets. There is a young a girl, Juliet and a boy, Romeo, that are from the two separate families.<br />
One day they both meet and they know that they are meant for each other. Tybalt, Juliet’s in see’s them together and is outraged. Something happens between Tybalt and Romeo and there is much, much more to the book, including dramatic scenes and also Romantic ones.</p>
<p>But your going to have to read the book to find out. If you like love and romance this is the book for you. I would definitely recommend it. If you read it I hope you enjoy it.</p>
<p>Anna 7P</p>

<p>This is a historical book and its really good but you dont have to read it if you dont want to, its not like Im forcing you or anything. Im not even going to tell you what it is about apart from its not really about wolves. if you are actually interested  then read it. Its in the library. If you want to know what its about then read it or ask someone else. If you do read it then I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.                </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Tahoma">Recently, as I was waiting in the new entrance hall to go home, I overheard a conversation between a group of upper sixth girls, and not being one to knowingly eavesdrop, I tried to block out their conversation. However there was something about their tone that made me listen. I could tell from their voices that they truly loved what they were talking about, not boys, not clothes, not shoes, but instead a book. I had heard about the book from some of my friends and some of the younger pupils of my school and had decided that I would read it to silence them long before I overheard the conversation. But something about the way that the sixth formers discussed the book made me think that maybe I should read it, not out of obligation, but because it might be as good as I had heard.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Tahoma">It was because of those girls that I went to the school library that Friday lunchtime and requested a copy of the book. I started reading that evening and managed to drag myself away from it just after midnight so that I could sleep. I read the book the next morning, and was unable to put it down, or forget the characters, or the plot. It was so good in fact, that I went back to the library on Monday morning and immediately took out the next one, finishing it that night. At the moment I am reading the fourth and final book, after spending one evening reading the third book. I am not reading them quickly because they are easy books or boring books, I am reading them quickly because I am transfixed by the characters and the life that Stephenie Meyer brings to them. You’ve probably guessed by now that the series of books that I am writing about is the “Twilight” series. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Tahoma">Meyer does not only create a real heroine that every woman and girl can relate to (for example Bella is not the most graceful heroine to ever be written about), but she creates, somehow, the perfect man (or at least, sort of man). We as readers are made to feel oddly at ease with the character of Edward Cullen, and his <em>slightly</em> out of the ordinary family. Edward is indeed the perfect man- there is something about him that makes everyone else in the world, be he a book character or a real person, pale in comparison to the Cullen charm. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Tahoma">Throughout the series Meyer makes it completely clear how Edward feels about Bella, unconditional, pure, absolute love.  </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Tahoma">Instead of writing that you must read this book because in my opinion it is incredibly well written, I am asking you to ask around because whether you’re in year 7 or the sixth form, or you’re thirteen or thirty, this is a book that will answer every girls question as to whether real love, heart breaking, go to the ends of the earth, fight werewolves and vampires, face the Volturi, unconditional love, really does exist. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Tahoma">And I challenge every female reader of these books be she young physically or in mind, to find a couple in real life, whose love story stays in your mind long after you have met them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><a href="http://bookblast.edublogs.org/files/2008/06/death.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-774" src="http://bookblast.edublogs.org/files/2008/06/death-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="128" height="149" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>‘Meet the Huns: Danielle, Brooke &amp; Tiffany’</em>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 &#8211; things that can only be described as a fate worse than death. </p>
<p>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.  </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.  </p>
<p>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.  </p>
<p>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. <span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman"> </span></span></p>
