The Greatness Guide By Robin Sharma

the greatness guide is a book written by the head of  a global buisness,
it is basically an autobiography but is focused on teaching the reader good ways in which to live their
life.
When I picked the book up I wasn't sure it would all be about buisness as it was,
i found a bit repetitive as it was 101 chapters each with a different thing to remember and to base
your buisness on. overall i thought it wasn't that good, a bit repetitive and irrelevant as I'm only 13.

The Sisters Brothers

It is 1851 in the Oregon territory, and Charlie and Eli Sisters, two mercenaries in the American Old West, are charged by a mysterious Commodore to find and kill a man called Herman Kermit Warm, for a secret formulae that allows one to find gold without digging. They travel all a cross the country, meeting dentists, witchs and other bizarre characters.

This book is a differing blend: alchemy, gunplay and cowboys. Sometimes it is a derivation of the old West, sometimes it is a parody of it. It is not always serious, but not always funny either.

Exposure by Mal Peet

Exposure is a book about a football player called Ottelo who moves to south American club Rialto.
He meets the owner of the club Nestor Brabanta and in turn, meets the owners daughter, Desmerelda Brabanta, a pop-star, who he ends up marrying.Bush a young street kid, who cleans cars at the buisiness area, becomes good friends with Paul Faustino, a sports journalist, who often writes good things about Ottelo.Life isn't easy for Bush living in urban areas looking after his sister and Felicia, and trouble is never far away.
Its a great story line and it makes you realise how being famous isn't always easy, and being a poor homeless kid is no better. It also makes you realise how lucky we are to have a nice home and a mostly trouble-free ish life. I really liked the book and would give it an 8/10.
This wonderful book blog was written by Master Luke Arrowsmith.
