Book review

Ok hmmm let me think of a book. OK I just read this one book Called Magic or Madness. Its about a girl named Reason (yes that is her name) who has to go live with her grandmother because her mom went crazy and tried to kill herself. She and her mother have been living all over Australia trying to hide from her mom Sarifina's mom Esmeralda. When her mom goes mad she is sent to the witches house as her mother has called it. She plans her escape but soon finds out a secret her mom tried to hid from her for years. She is magic. Reason has to learn how to use her powers carefully before it slowly kills her or drives her mad. The book was somewhat confusing. The perspective changes and you sometimes don't realise you are reading through someone else's eyes until half way through the chapter and you have to go back and reread it. I would have to say this book was OK. Here are some reasons you should and shouldn't read this book

Don't read it because

1. the witches use things like bones, human teeth, feathers and other things as protection charms
2. They do certain things to gain more magic like killing animals and taking someone else's magic which is bad because when you take someones magic they die
3. It was just really creepy
4. everyone is out for there own gain. Her own grandfather tried to take her magic away
5. Its blasphemies because they say it was magic that created the earth and its magic that sustains life and its magic that lives in everyone

Reasons to read it

1. They use awesome Australian accents
2. the names are cool

and those are the reasons you should and shouldn't read this book. :) I don't suggest this book for the reasons above. :) Next time i will review a book you should read! :)
