Year 10 student Holly Avey reviews J. R. R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit'. Beautiful artwork also by Holly.
The Young Elites is an amazing story. I love the use of vocabulary.
The whole story is deeply emotional and highly detailed. A fantastic thing about the story is that it is written about a villain instead of a hero.
Also, it is in the first person for the main character but the third person for other characters.
I highly recommend this book as you quickly get stuck into the pages.
Thanks for the brilliant book reviews so far. Please keep them coming in. Let’s share the amazing books we’ve read. Please email you reviews or bring them to me in the library. Thank you!
