Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague


This book was better than its predecessor but not quite as good as Fablehaven.  I give it a 4 out of 5 for enjoyment.  It kept me very entertained.  It gets a 3 out of 5 for plot.  The plot was somewhat predictable but it did have some unexpected twists and turns.  The adventures that the characters went through made me feel for them and cheer them on as they battled that hardships that faced them.  The readability was good.  It doesn't use any hard vocabulary other than names.  It was well written and I didn't struggle as I read this book.  I gave it a 4 out of 5.  So overall it gets a 3.67 out of 5.

Books

So I looking for a good book list and couldn't find one so I decided to make my own.  I am going to review all the books that I read.  To start out I will start with Fablehaven and Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star.  I finished these books this week and am going to rate these books in three categories: readability, plot, and enjoyment.

Fablehaven. I give it 4 out of 5 on readability, 3.5 out of 5 on plot, and 4 out of 5 on enjoyment. Giving it an overall average of 3.83 out of 5.  The plot is good but a little predictable.  I really enjoyed this book and was excited to read the sequals. 

Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star.  I will give this book a 4 out of 5 for readability. It was very easy to get through.  2.5 out of 5 for plot.  It has a very slow start and was hard for me to get into even though I started it right after I finished Fablehaven. 3.5 out of 5 for enjoyment.  I liked this book once things got going in the story but it took a few chapters for it to pick up.  An overall score of 3.33 of of 5.

I am reading Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague now and will give a review on it when I am done. If there is a book any of you would like to suggest I am open to all types of books so just let me know.  Here are a few of the books I intend to tackle in the next little while.
