Book Review- The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier and Stone Cold by Robert Swindells

Hey Chickens,

Todays blogpost will most likely be short but knowing me, I'll find something else to write about at the end making it longer than intended. My intentions of this blogpost is to write a two reviews. One on the book The Chocolate War which I finished earlier this week and Stone Cold which I finished last night. These are two very different books but honestly, I loved them both and needed to share them with you. Just now, when I was searching up the author for The Chocolate War I found out that there is a follow up book for it so like, I'm definitely going to have to read that.

The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier-

Very quick, short and basic summary of the story-line is:

There is a secret society at a Catholic school called the Vigils that kinda run the school. Trinity (the school) has an annul Chocolate fund-raiser which the students need to sell 20,000 boxes of Chocolate. The Vigils give this kid an assignment to do with the chocolate sale an from there it all goes wrong.

I actually really liked this book. It took me a while to really start getting into it but after that I was full on invested into this book. The ending was probably my most favourite part of the book and I was satisfied with the ending (this was before I found out about the second book). I was so excited when there was a second book because it will continue on with the story and The Vigils and the school. I really like Robert Cormiers writing and there is a few more books of his that I looked at on Booktopia that I like the look of.

Stone Cold by Robert Swindells-
Again, a short summary of the story-line-
This book is about homeless young people in London. It follows the story of Link (who is homeless) and how he become homeless and how he survives and him meting people. There is also a serial killer in London killing all the homeless people.

This book is only 133 pages, so I read it in about two nights and I just didn't want to stop reading it. Not much happens and it is a fairly slow moving book but it is written really good. The serial killers parts are very believable and it actually feels kinda creepy. It's a very good book to read because it feels so real. I liked the ending, it was good. I do feel like the ending was a bit rushed but I liked the way it was wrapped up.

I'm so sorry I've been so inactive recently, it's just stuff gets in the way and time gets away from me. In other news, on Tuesday night I'm going to see Black Panther (I've heard so many mixed reviews on it) an I'm really excited. I might post a review on it on Wednesday night but I'll see how I go. Also, I was just looking around and the Chocolate War is also a movie, like what. It is also one of the most banned books in America and I will admit, it is a bit inappropriate but it's nothing any teenager or adult doesn't know about.

Also, this deserves it's own little sentence because THE WALKING DEAD COMES BACK ON TOMORROW NIGHT. I have so many question and I can't wait because I love The Walking Dead so much. Ever since I went to Walker Stalker at the start of February, I'm just like ok, Walking Dead, come back on. And cause I met Austin Amelio and Steven Ogg, I'll be like, I've met them in real life, I have pictures. As you can tell, I'm very excited. 

Thank-you all so much for reading this blogpost, I hoped that you enjoyed it, if you did make sure to let me know. I'm sorry if this blogpost doesn't have much to it, I've been writing parts of this all day between homework and doing stuff in my room. At the moment, you may have noticed, I'm uploading every Sunday, I'm going to try and start uploading on a Wednesday as well, but I'll see how that goes. Anyway, I love you all to Jupiter and back but until next time, bye
