- To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee: a very suspenseful novel. I particularly liked the climax
The story is set in the point of view of Scout, a young precocious girl. She tells the story of the events leading up to the trial of a man in which her father, a lawyer, has to defend. This is proven to be difficult, as the town of Maycomb's residents are full of prejudice.
Rating: 9/10
- The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - Millennium Series - Steig Larsson.
The first book of this series follows a journalist in a legal battle, a computer hacker/private investigator and an industrialist with a missing niece who ultimately expose a corrupt financier. It was a little slow at times.
Rating: 8.5/10
- Harry Potter - J.K Rowling - every book in the series - no need to comment on this one!
Rating: generally a 10/10
- Everything, Everything - Nicola Yoon
I found this one to be a little cheesy and predictable but also a little nice. Madeline Whittier is trapped inside her house, and has been for her whole life. She has a rare disease called severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and cannot go outside. However, her life turns around when a boy moves in next door.
Rating: 7/10
- Green Valentine - Lili Wilkinson - if you like (predictable) romantic novels, this one's for you! A girl meets a boy. They have opposite personalities. They fight for a cause; to make their city sustainable and full of plants. Of course, they fall in love.
Rating: 6.5/10
