The Red Queen

The Red Queen

By Margaret Drabble

Review by Shelby

AHHA. okay I read a grown-up book everyone. The Red Queen is about two ladies whose lives are paralleled. Their lives are pretty much the same. The first one is Lady Hong, of 1800s Korea. She is married when she's ten years old to Prince Sado, who's crazy. Also, her first child dies in infancy. Well, we don't know he's crazy until he grows up but ANYWAY. Prince Sado's father, King Yongjon (or something, i forget their names) is really mean to him all the time, and doesn't really want him to become king. Anyway, she outlives basically everyone and tells her story in the first part, as a ghost. In the second part is Dr. Barbara Haliwell, an English woman. Her husband, Peter, is crazy too. And his dad thinks he's better than everyone, AND she had a kid that died too (she named him Benedict, so it serves her right). She is going to Korea for some scholar's convention. On the flight she reads Lady Hong's memoirs, and Lady Hong haunts her as a ghost (although she doesn't know it) and wants Babs to spread her story around. Anyway, in Korea, Babs makes friends with this Korean Dr, Doctor Oo, and makes better friends with a Dr. Jan van Jost. Anyway. They have an affair and... well I suppose I SHOULDN'T give away everything.

Anyway, this was a really good book. I learned lots of new words. And I promptly forgot them. :D

Review by Sasha

This is the rivitting sequal to Sabriel. I wonder what the exact definition for riviting is and if i spelled it right. Anyway, its about this old kingdom with magic and the people who bring the dead back to life, or but the dead back into death. This book is about Sameth, sabriel's son, and about Lirael, the Daughter of the Clayr. Thsi book is the second book of the abhorsen trilogy. Read it read it read it. I give it 5 stars and as many thumbs up as i have (thats 2). I garantee that if you are into fantasy then you will find to trilogy better than this.

This is a really good book. It is about a boy who is at some sort of bad kids camp or something of that sort. His mom is dead and his brother killed himslef and all these people pee everywhere. But its a good book. The life of a kid with one parent, a dead brother and people who do drugs. They also mention the origional sims game, which makes it an even better book. I liked it and i hope you will too.
