Review of The End (Series of Unfortunate Events) - Lemony Snicket by alexthegreat

Advantages: Great storyline, extremely exciting and it just makes you keep listening.
Disadvantages: It can be hard to follow at times.

I love the Series of Unfortunate Events and have done so since I got read the 7th one first for some reason. So this is the 13th (unlucky for some) and last in the series. It is written by Lemony Snicket who has followed the Baudelaires and recorded their stories. He tells the tale of the three siblings; Violet, Klaus and Sunny. Anyone who has read the previous 12 volumes will know that they have been put in some darstadly and sinister situations ...
...occured because of the devious Count Olaf who is after their immense fortune. It is a very worthy end to the series. It is full of action, horror, suspense and it is quite funny at times. It is a great read, but it is complicated even if you have read the other 12 but you will need to read them to know what is happening. ... Read review

Rebound/Sharpay And The Sharpettes
Review of Battle Of The Bands - N. B. Grace by Jonni_boi

Advantages: Great Read
Disadvantages: not a lot of info and pretty short

Now people may call me obsessed with High School Musical, I personally don't think I am, I only have all the DVDs and all the music and maybe a few special items, but surely that doesn't make me obsessed, does it? Anyway, I just couldn't resist getting the book! N.B. Grace has made this story brilliant. I was mesmerised in seconds. Sharpay is signed up and she and her girls are doing a band called Sharpay and The Sharpettes. But Gabriella wants ...
