Trevor Romain’s book Random Kak I remember about growing up in South Africa made me smile, made me laugh and made me a little heartsore for the youth that so quickly passed me by.

For somebody who generally takes two or three weeks to read a book, my recent three-day book sprint is rather remarkable. The last time I read anything so quickly was probably as a student procrastinating from studying. Never Let Go wasn’t even a book I would normally have picked up at the library or bookstore. I tend to stay away from covers that shout “thriller” and that is exactly what the rather chilling cover communicates.

When I received Hostage to review, I was quite excited to begin reading. I read Chris Bradford's first book, The Way of the Warrior, a couple of months ago and I really enjoyed it! It was incredibly well-written and action packed.
For the last couple of weeks or so, Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave has been the subject of discussion amongst many of the book blogging community members I regularly chat to.
Words such as brilliant, phenomenal and gobsmackingly awesome were being freely tossed around, while others made mention of this novel definitely being a strong contender for the book of 2013.
