The Pegasus Diaries

The Pegasus diaries is a private account of Major John Howard DSO and his daughter Penny Bates, these two tell you about the ground assault on Pegasus bridge in the second world war. This assault was led by John Howard. John was a major in the Oxford an Bucks Light Infantry regiment.The account also tells you what the regiment and John had done before the assault, this included his family life. Unfortunatly John Howard died in 1999. I thought that this book was very interresting and factual, although you need quite a lot of patience to read it because the text is tiny. But I would give it 8/10.

The Uncommon Reader, Alan Bennett

The Uncommon  Reader is a fictional book written about the queen and her secret loving for books.
It starts off when she discovers a travelling library visiting the local area and so in curiosity she goes to have a look. To be polite she decides to take out a book and then finds herself hooked to reading. The next week when the library returned she rented out another book and loves that equally. She ends up entirely distracted from her job because she is reading the whole time. In the end she decides that she is going to write a book making an interesting finish to the book.
6/10

Revolver

this book is based just north of the artic circle and is an extremley interesting read because as the story progresses in 1910 every so often it goes back to the past and reveales more to you .The book is based on the gold rush and about the use of guns which makes it interesting cause in the book there are little hints about whether guns are right or not. the bookstarts off with sig in his cabin with his dead dad and then a bit later in the story after some flashback moments to where sig had found his dads body and to 1899 a man called wolf arrives claiming that his dad owes gold to him from 1900 when they lived in nome a small town. eventualy anna (sig's sister) arives back home but none f them no where it is what will happen to sig and anna you will have to read the book to find out.

i would give it a 9/10 because it is a brilliant read and very diverse but at times it got slightly confusing.
