Advantages: great writing technique, gripping books
Disadvantages: hard to put down books!

I only know her for writing the fabulous teen girly books such as Princess Diaries and The Mediator series. I don't really know anything about her personally...but I plan to do some researching! Of course she is a successful writer as you can see by her book, Princess Diaries, being made into a very successful film. It's more of a 'chick flick' but I'm pretty sure anyone would enjoy it. As for her books-the first one I read, Teen Idol, belonged ...
...taken in by the eye-catching pink girly cover and was glued to the book 'til I finished. I then went on to read several other books by her such as the Mediator books.

I'm not going to ruin any ... Read review

Disadvantages: Bit borin

...after read many books, but Malorie Blackman changed that. My mate said she was reading Noughts & Crosses and loved it. So I went into the library and had all 4 books read within 2 weeks. She's still on Checkmate, lol. If you like Romeo & Juliet you should like Noughts & Crosses, she never wanted it to seem like Romeo & Juliet but you do see the parallels between them as you read. She wanted to write a book on slavery, so she started Noughts & Crosses. ...
...Eye Knife Edge Checkmate Malorie Blackman was asked to do a book for World Book Day, and that's where an eye for an eye came about. It's only about 30 pages long but I think it's still a good book. If you get Nought's & Crosses the newest edition it should have An Eye For An Eye in the back. My favourite book is Noughts & Crosses because I love reading about Callum & Sephy but the distance in Checkmate between Sephy and her teenager daughter Callie ... Read review

...book to escape to then martina cole is your lady almost all her books are based around a female who is just trying to survive like we all do, many of her books are based on the irish community living in london and as an irish girl myself i can relate to the fact that alot of the characters family values are shockingly true. very real yet very gritty. if you do choose to take on martina cole then i would highly reccomend starting with two women ...
