The Life of Elizabeth I

Authored by: Alizon Weir


If you have ever been interested about the life of an English queen so famous that she had a period of history named after her, this book is for you. This biography is amazingly detailed and superbly written, and it will immediately pull you into the world of someone that so many have heard of yet few truly know. The author delves into the many mysteries and myths surrounding the "Virgin Queen", questioning murders and analyzing the characters, portraying all the glitter, magnificence, and darkness surrounding the Elizabethan court. You will find yourself pulled into the intrigue, and throughout it all you will get to know this elusive queen, who could be at once cunning, short-tempered, kind, ruthless, and magnificent.

We're back

Alright, Book Review's is back (hopefully, to stay) with a new name: Novel Logs! Everything else was taken, besides, I think it's cute. We also have new members, Katie (ケーティ) and Sarah will be joining us soon. I've changed the template because I deleted the old background by mistake and the whole thing was a mess. And so some of the older posts will look... redundant. But all the information is still there and clear. I've changed where the post authors's name is, its now at the top, so it wont say "review" by in the body anymore. Anyway, hopefully it's all easier and more clear. And I'll work on my grammar... We'll try to post more as well... (still pretending people are reading this). ^_^ (actually i changed my mind and review by is at the bottom of the post again. but it's still gone from the body of the body because...it doesnt need to be there twice)

The Book of Lies

The Book of Lies


James Moloney



Review By: Sasha


So I've read a lot of books for school, but haven't read much for fun recently. I started to read some fairy book but the guy was too perfect and it was painful. So I never got past the third page. So I moved on to the other book I got from the library. The Book of Lies. It's about this boy who has just been taken to an orphanage. A wizard tries to replace his memory with a false one, and a little girl who is good at disappearing into the shadows, interrupts this process. He still loses his memory, but she tells him his real name and he's like "OMG thats it" etc. And there's this whole adventure. I read it in a day like nonstop. I didn't want to get online or talk to people, this book sucked me in. And like, as I read i was guessing "oh they're this and this is going to happen" and then it was like oh no, this happened instead and this is how it is, but then i was right about this, and that turned out to be a lie and so i was right anyway, and it was great. And no i'm not going to go back to fix my grammar. So read it, get the sequal, and wait for the third book in 2009 (tear... so far away)

And this isn't a review, but i love myself for writing a seeker review because i know the next book is coming out soon and i couldn't remember the name of the series (yay me)
