Book Review: Killer Kiss Fear Street 42 by R. L. Stine


Synopsis from Goodreads


Title: Killer Kiss
Author: R. L. Stine
Publication Date: 1997
Publisher: Simon Pulse

Delia and Karina competed over everything--the handsome new boy Vincent was no exception. But after Vincent ends up dead, the town wants to know which girl's kiss was deadly?



My Review

It was nice to read something from the past again :) When I was younger, I was soo hooked on Goosebumps and anything R.L. Stine wrote. This book is all about competition and jealousy. I have to say that people can do CRAZYY stuff just to get what they want. The story is about a boy called Vincent who is a player. He dates both Delia and Karina who have always been rivals. They both are determined to have him for themselves and in order to do that, things get complicated.

I recommend this book to young readers, and I guess that it can teach them that extreme rivalry and jealousy would get them nowhere, so it would be better to keep things healthy.

Book Review: A Prisoner of Birth by Jeffrey Archer


Synopsis by Goodreads

Title: A Prisoner of Birth
Author: Jeffrey Archer
Publication Date: March 6th, 2008
Publisher: HarperCollins

Danny Cartwright is doomed by circumstance. After a quartet of cynical Cambridge friends decide to make him the patsy for a murder one of them had committed, illiterate Danny is tried, convicted, and sentenced to 22 years at hellish Belmarsh Prison. Mind-tormenting incarceration gives him ample opportunity to polish his reading skills and, more central to the plot, his taste for revenge.

My Review

 I have to say that it was suuuper great at the beginning and in the middle... but I truly have to add that some parts of the storyline went by a bit slow for me.
But I loved reading about his time in prison and how he fights to get out. However, as he gets out, that is when it started to move slow, so I kindda got bored a little bit, but wham!!! after that, it got back into greatness again :P lol

Overall, A greaaaaat book, I kindda recommed it cuz I still looove Jeffery Archer!

4/5
