My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch crosses boundaries that I have never read before. I’ve read science fiction but nothing like this.
I struggled with the first 50 or so pages of this book, almost to the point of giving up but I am glad I stuck with it. It does start to pick up as we get further along. It must have done otherwise I wouldn’t have given it 5 stars.
Tunnels of Blood by Darren Shan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Mr Crepsley and Darren are back again in more adventures as a vampire and his assistant. This time, Mr C is contacted by an old friend, who also happens to be a vampire general. Taking Darren and Evra with him, Mr C leaves the Cirque Du Freak on a mission.
As with the other two books, the writing in this one is simplistic and normally I would say that it was too childlike for me to be able to read it, however, with this series it works. It makes the books a quick and easy read for all ages.
I am really enjoying the series so far, but this book is my least favourite up to now.
