About this author

Born within the sound of the Bow bells in London, Karen Lee Field was seven when her parents decided to move to the “Lucky Country” and settle in Sydney, Australia. Apart from enjoying time with her family and pets, Karen loves escaping to fantasy worlds — places where her sometimes ordinary life is transformed into an exciting adventure and her imagination is set free. Her debut children’s novel, Cat’s Eyes, was published in 2010 and her short stories appear in several anthologies. She currently lives west of Sydney, in the beautiful Blue Mountains.


The Dead (The Dead #1) The Dead by David Gatward


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Description:


Lazarus Stone is about to turn sixteen when, one night, his normal life is ripped to shreds by a skinless figure drenched in blood.


He has a message: The Dead are coming.


Now Lazarus is all that stands in their way. To fulfil his destiny, he must confront not only the dark past of his family, but horrors more gruesome than even Hell...

This is the fifth and final book in the series. Firstly, after the disappointment of the previous book, I started this one with low expectations. However, it turned out to be much better than I thought it would be and I enjoyed it.

Honestly, while the story was fine, I did not enjoy this one as much as the others. The main reason is because we did not join the borrowers until Chapter 10.

I have read multiple fiction books in the past but I'm trying to cut down, especially since I'm meant to be reading for my talk.

Benjamin Solah I think I have a short attention span. Most of the books are of different types so depending on my mood, I'll read different books.

The Blogging Revolution is good at the moment because I was finding Pamuk too dense, and I have to read Bukharin for a Marxist reading group - so that's not really fun reading. My head wants to explode after each chapter but I'm learning heaps from it.


Benjamin Solah I'll gladly take credit *grin*

I have gotten into Goodreads again. I think I'm addicted too and it's all your fault! *grin*




Benjamin Solah I see you've gotten into Goodreads again.

I think I've become addicted.
