It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since that extraordinary dream of science came to a crashing end - the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled the island indefinitely closed to the public.
There are rumours that something has survived.
My Review:
I liked this book a lot but not as much as the first one, in a way I found it as a disappointment because they first one was so great and the second not so great, but overall I still think it was a good book but it could have quite easily been better because I found it quite confusing, I also didn't understand most of the second film because parts of one and two are thrown into the film, but still the second book is way better than the film. I did really like this book but it could have been better I think would be the best way to put it.

My Review:
I loved this book so much! Couldn't put it down, I know it may not be everybodys cup of tea but it was one I really enjoyed and I would recommand it to people as most people have seen the film and the book is so much better, and there is so much good stuff which they do not include which i'm not going to say because I don't want to spoil it for anybody who does plan to read it and if you do plan to read it move it up to the top of your reading pile and you won't be disappointed trust me there.

We are having a new Admin join us over here at Folded-Pages, so this page will be updated more often and will have even more reviews because the new admin is a vivid reader who reads more vampire books than I do, I'm more Angels and Mythlogy. But I can't tell you too much but the admins go by the names Ashleigh (me) and Jessica (The new one).

Can true love be forgotten?
As the only Scion who can descend into the Underworld, Helen Hamilton has been given a nearly impossible task. By night she wanders through Hades, trying to stop the endless cycle of revenge that has cursed her family. By day she struggles to overcome the fatigue that is rapidly eroding her sanity. Without Lucas by her side, Helen is not sure she has the strength to go on.
Just as Helen is pushed to her breaking point, a mysterious new Scion comes to her rescue. Funny and brave, Orion shields her from the dangers of the Underworld. But time is running out—a ruthless foe plots against them, and the Furies' cry for blood is growing louder.
As the ancient Greek world collides with the mortal one, Helen's sheltered life on Nantucket descends into chaos. But the hardest task of all will be forgetting Lucas Delos.

Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role that she has never questioned… until now.
My Review:
If you have seen the film then I tell you now the book is 100,000 times better. Because in the books you see more of characters as they truly come alive as they all have a battle of their own to defeat and Kates for her. I think that everybody should read this book because it shows you how lucky we are, as people without Cancer. Words cannot display how many tears I cried after this book!

Rating: 5 out of 5
Blurb:
Nature is out of balance in the human world. The sun hasn't shone in years, and crops are failing. Worse yet, strange and hostile creatures have begun to appear. The people's survival hangs in the balance.
To solve the crisis, the oracle stones are cast, and Kaede and Taisin, two seventeen-year-old girls, are picked to go on a dangerous and unheard-of journey to Tanlili, the city of the Fairy Queen. Taisin is a sage, thrumming with magic, and Kaede is of the earth, without a speck of the otherworldly. And yet the two girls' destinies are drawn together during the mission. As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever
My Review:
A simply beautiful book! I loved every second of it! Malinda Lo is a amazing author and I would recommand her books to pretty much anybody. You are drawn in frim page 1 until the end because you want to find out what is going to happen, will Taisin and Kaede complete their task which the fairy queen has set them or will something happen along the way?

Rating 5 out of 5
Blurb:
Unexpected. Unrequited. Forbidden. Eternal. Everyone has their own love story.
And in a twist of fate, four extraordinary love stories combine over the course of a romantic Valentine's Day in Medieval England. Miles and Shelby find love where they
least expect it. Roland learns a painful lesson about finding-and losing love. Arianne pays the price for a love so fierce it burns. And for the first -and last- time, Daniel and Luce
will spend a night together like none other.
Lauren Kate's FALLEN IN LOVE is filled with love stories . . . the ones everyone has been waiting for.
True love never says goodbye. .
My Review:
I loved this book, as it gives you an insight into not only Luce and Daniels past, but Rolands and Arriane's, it also almost shows you the future of Shelby and Miles. I read this book in a day because I couldn't put it down, but I would defo read this one before Rapture.
