Three new books

Here are three books I have finished in the last week, here are some short description/reviews.

A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb

This book is about a woman named Helen who is Light, she died 130 years ago and has been attached to several hosts since. Helen loves literature and is enjoying here current host, Mr. Brown and English teacher. One day in class a boy looks at Helen, no one has looked at her since she became Light. She soon discovers that this boy is James who was once light too. The book follows their growing relationship and the results of their action to try and be together. This is a ghost story and a love story, neither of which I usually read, however it was one of the best books I have read in awhile, I couldn't put it down.


Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception by Eoin Colfer

The Opal Deception is the fourth book in the Artemis Fowl series. This book picks up with our favorite series characters. Opal Koboi has hatched a plan to break out of her high security coma. She intends to expose the faerie world to the humans with a devious plot. Holly needs Atremis to help defeat Opal but Artemis is still under the mind wipe from the fairies. There is the usual adventure both in the fairy world and human world. Artemis is once again conflicted between good and evil, if he should change his ways and try to be a normal 14 year old boy. The ending is surprising but help to lead up to the recently released fifth book in the series.


Eragon by Christopher Paolini

I just finished this book today. It is the first in a three part series about a boy named Eragon and his discovery of a dragon egg. The egg soon hatches and Saphira the dragon joins Eragon. Eragon soon has his home destroyed, which sends him on a journey to find those who did the crimes. Ultimately he discovers himself and his destiny to become a Dragon Rider. There are dwarfs, elves, dragons, magic and much more in this fantasy tale. The story is long but exciting. The world created and the adventures that these two see are vivid. It is hard to believe the author is so young.
