Skellig by David Almond

Skellig, written by David Almond (1998) is an interesting book about a boy called Michael, who moves houses. Only, to his suprise, he came across a bizarre creature who was living in his garage. As if this wasn't enough, the health of his baby sister was also an issue.

At first, I wasn't really into the story, but the suspense kept growing and growing. Eventually, so did my fascination for the book. So, overallI would give this book a 4/5

I think the book was awesome the first sentence really gets you when micheal finds this man in his garage his whole world changes the name of the man is skellig and he turns out to be part human, part ange, and part owl you will have to read the rest of the story to find out what happens.Like skellig starts talking about William Blake which is a person who wrights books about life this man was also a poet ,he is important in the book .

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
