MY FIRST BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is very convenient, that, at the moment, during my first blog ever about books, I happen to be at the hay festival, a celebration of books, music and comedy, my three favourite things. As it is my first blog, I will probably tell you about my taste in books and rate books I have already read. firstly, HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER. I love it. Positivley adore it. Now, many kids, and indeed, adults, think, when they hear 'harry potter' oh, well it's a bit... unoriginal, after all there are so many books, tv shows and films, ect, about wizards. Well lets get this straight. There are so many BECAUSE of the wonderful J.K Rowling. Writers saw how well harry potter sold and thought they would copy the style. In my opinion, they got it all wrong, because, well, Harry Potter is exceptional. Anyway, here are my ratings.
Harry Potter
very interesting, gripping, light hearted and funny series (though there are less jokes as the books get darker). People don't look upon harry potter as funny, but there aren't as many jokes in the film, so it gives people the wrong idea. Never judge a book by its film version. It gets darker as the series goes on, and that, I think, is why It is considered by many as a book for all ages.
MY RATING : 9 3/4 out of 10 (pun slightly intended)

Another of my favourite authors is Anthony Horowitz. Alex Rider, The Diamond Brothers and Groosham Grange are a few of the best. there are many books to choose from so if you, like me, practically devour your books at an alarming rate, this guy is for you.
