Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Just like the first three books in the Harry Potter series, after reading all of the books a few years ago, I have just re-read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with my children (12 & 7). They are loving this series and have really enjoyed this book too.


What I loved most about this book though, was that there was so much going on. Apart from the Triwizard Tournament, there were so many other threads to follow and even right up to the very last pages of the book, there were questions we wanted answers to, such as who Fred and George were blackmailing and why, and how Rita Skeeter was getting her information.


They are all great books to read aloud, with interesting and well rounded characters, fantastic description and exciting storylines. I highly recommend them for parents to read to their children.

The Book Thief

No, this is not a solution to my challenge, it's the name of the fantastic book (yes a real paper one!) I have just finished. Thanks to JJ for lending it to me.








The_Book_Thief written by Markus_Zusak

Highly recommended.

It evokes strong emotion from the start and is not a book you can easily read in a couple of days, but I loved the characters, who were well developed throughout the story and enjoyed reading about what life was like in Germany during WWII. This thought provoking story, will stay with me for a long time.

Oh, apparently you can't really write even a short review of this book and not mention the unusual fact that it is narrated by Death.
