"Spencer stole her sister's boyfriend. Aria is brokenhearted over her English teacher. Emily likes her new friend Maya . . . as much more than a friend. Hanna's obsession with looking flawless is making her sick. And their most horrible secret yet is so scandalous that the truth would ruin them forever. And why shouldn't I tell? They deserve to lose it all. With every crumpled note, wicked IM, and vindictive text message I send, I'll be taking these pretty little liars down. Trust me, I've got enough dirt to bury them alive."

7/10

Another Pretty Little Liars novel I enjoyed. This is a series you should read when you are in a rut and need something light and entertaining to help you get back into reading.

The author makes you want to fight for these girls by screaming insults at A or anyone else that is hurting them, although you end up screaming at a book which will earn you some strange looks.

I don't know who A is - and I love that!!

Bring on more books and more clues!

Spoilers:

Sooo now I don't like Toby anymore, I wonder what is going to happen on the tv series if they are going to kill him off...

9/10

What a brilliant novel!! I knew I was going to enjoy it, but wow it really was a masterpiece!

Science and a thrilling tale comes together in just the right way, and makes it a surprisingly quick read that you can't seem to put down.

The characters are so well formed, the dinosaurs so well described and the world that is Jurassic Park so vivid that you wish you were there, even if you have to deal with Velociraptors!

Crichton is a spectacular writer who leaves you intrigued, thrilled and wanting more!

I will pick up the next instalment as soon as I can. I can also see this becoming a regular re-read.

I'm off to watch the movie again :)

"And that's how things are. A day is like a whole life. You start out doing one thing, but end up doing something else, plan to run an errand, but never get there. . . . And at the end of your life, your whole existence has the same haphazard quality, too. Your whole life has the same shape as a single day."
