My Book Review
Skellig
I think Skellig was a good book. The only problem was that it didn’t have any action. I think some of the chapters didn’t talk about much at all. The chapters were only two to three pages long. So once something happened it didn’t last for very long. I thought the characters were well described. When I was reading about Michael not feeling the baby’s heart beat in his, it got really interesting and I couldn’t put it down. It took the last word of the story for Michael’s parents to name the baby. In a way it was a smart thing to do so that the reader didn’t put the book down. I recommend this book, it is ok. I rate it;

2/5

I did not enjoy this book because it lacked interest. I thought the book had little detail and David Almond's way of writing could have been more interesting. His description of the characters was alright but I think he needed to tell more about the some of the characters Leaky and Coot. I thought the book could have been more exiting and dramatic. The book was a bit boring and the climax of the story should have more tense. I thought it was good how the author used Williams Blake’s poems in the story. I think if he writes another book he should be more interesting to keep the reader reading it.
