The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer ~ Started: 10.06.10 ~ Finished: 11.06.10 Synopsis ~ The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is the riveting story of Bree Tanner, a vampire first introduced in*Eclipse, and the darker side of the world she inhabits. The novella chronicles the journey of members of the newborn vampire army from their preparations to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullen family to its unforgettable conclusion. If you have read 'Eclipse' by Stephenie Meyer, the third book of 'The Twilight Saga', you will know what happens to Bree, the main character of 'The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner', I always found it quite a sad ending. 'The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner' is good insight into the character of Bree, who she is as a person, how she copes with being a vampire, the same feelings that the Cullens experienced as newborns. There was also two new characters introduced, Diego and Fred and I would like to read more about one of the characters. A definite addition to 'Eclipse', Bella only sees Bree for about five minutes in 'Eclipse', it was interesting to read from Bree's point of view, who has such potential as a ongoing character, its a pity how it ends for her. I enjoyed reading Bree's story.

Beastly by Alex Flinn ~ Started: 10.06.10 ~ Finished: 10.06.10 Synopsis ~ I am a beast.* A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright

Great review, I agree with everything you said, I just finished 'Beastly' today. I much prefer 'Beauty' by Robin McKinley.

Thanks Maureen

Night by Elie Wiesel ~ Started: 07.06.10 ~ Finished: 08.06.10 Synopsis ~ Born into a Jewish ghetto in Hungary, as a child, Elie Wiesel was sent to the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald. This is his account of that atrocity: the ever-increasing horrors he endured, the loss of his family and his struggle to survive in a world that stripped him of humanity, dignity and faith. Describing in simple terms the tragic murder of a people from a survivor's perspective, Night is among the most personal, intimate and poignant of all accounts of the Holocaust. A compelling consideration of the darkest side of human nature and the enduring power of hope, it remains one of the most important works of the twentieth century. Dawn by Elie Wiesel ~ Started: 08.06.10 ~ Finished: 09.06.10 Synopsis ~ Deals with the conflicts and thoughts of a young Jewish concentration-camp veteran as he prepares to assassinate a British hostage in occupied Palestine. Day by Elie Wiesel ~ Started: 09.06.10 ~ Finished: 10.06.10 Synopsis ~ A man seriously injured when hit by a car is taken to the hospital where a doctor, the woman who loves him, and his artist friend lead him to yearn for life rather than death. I am sorry to say that this is not the most impressive of book reviews. I read 'The Night Trilogy' by Elie Wiesel over three days and the books are poignant, impressive and show the amazing strength of character of Elie Wiesel. 'Night', the first book of the trilogy explores Elie's own story, whilst 'Dawn' and 'Day' are fictional stories based on actual events. All of the books are told in a straightforward way, Elie's anger and strength shine through in each book. I found the books hard going but I am glad I read them because a lot of lessons can be learned from them, its not just a survivor's story, its the story of a man who took a brave step and shared his heartbreaking experiences with the world.

Exactly, listen to your elders

The Death and Life of Charlie St Cloud by Ben Sherwood ~ Started: 03.06.10 ~ Finished: 04.06.10 Synopsis ~ As a boy, Charlie St Cloud narrowly survived a car crash that killed Sam, his little brother. Years later, still unable to recover from his loss, Charlie has taken a job tending to the lawns and monuments in New England cemetery where Sam is buried. When he meets Tess Carroll, they discover a beautiful and uncommon connection. 'The Death and Life of Charlie St Cloud is such a pretty book, I could not read it fast enough. Charlie was a lovely character, he had lost so much and was looking for something and he found it in Tess, who was also a lovely character. I thought Charlie and Sam had more depth as characters and their relationship was shown in such a sensitive way. I had a lump in my throat at the end, a enjoyable read.

Fantastic reviews Lexie, I am so pleased you enjoyed the Chloe Saunders series, I agree with everything you have said, there is so many twists and turns but it makes for fantastic reading, the more you found out about Chloe and the rest of the gang made for addictive reading
