The Fire Thief

By: Terry Deary

*****

The fire thief is a really good read. It is about a young demigod who is punished for giving fire to the humans. He is punished by having him chained to the Caucasus Mountains in Olympus the home of the gods. And he is tortured by having his liver torn out by a monstrous bird called the 'Avenger'. He is a terror in the story he takes the form of an eagle to fly to Prometheus and eat his liver. While the next day Prometheus is alive again and the Avenger eats his liver since the past 220 years. But one night Prometheus had Hercules come up and break his chains that bound him to the rock. I do not want to reveal any more you will have to read it you're self. It is a really good book it keeps you from stopping it is intense and amazing. I have finished the first 2 books and am on the 3rd. Hope you read the book. You won't regret it.

The Phantom of the Opera
*****
By: Gaston Leroux

I think that Gaston Leroux did a really good job in 'The Phantom of the Opera'. He really described the felling the emotion in the story. He described the love that Mousier le Raul Victome de Changy Felt for Madmoisell Christine Daae. You can feel the pain that everybody in the book goes threw.

In the story the Phantom is aperratley monster. But things aren't what they seem. Christine said that when her father died he would send the angel of music to aid here in singing. But alass he never showed. Until one day when she heard marvelous music a man singing. She later learned his name 'Erik'.

When Raul heard of the ghost he was at the opera when Christine fainted. Raul later ran to her side in her dressing room. Along with the doctor and Sorelli. Sorelli is also a singer but also helps with the dancing. Christine does not reconize Raul but later on she begins to remeber. And tells him about Erik.

I think that it was very good and I am still reading it. I totally recomened it to kids. It's a really good read.
