23) Finding My Voice 24) The Maze Runner

23) Finding My Voice by Jonathan Veira

I bought this book after seeing Jonathan in concert and being very impressed not only by his capacities as a singer, but also by his comic genius. I have to say that it's not the most well-written book I've ever read: occasionally the language is a little awkward or there is an overuse of exclamation marks; but it was immensely enjoyable to read about all the funny experiences that Jonathan has had throughout his career, and quite enlightening about the world of opera. I really don't have much experience of reading autobiographies, but I would recommend this one if you enjoy Jonathan's music.



24) The Maze Runner by James Dashner

I loved the concept of this book, with its undertones of Greek mythology, and although the writing struck me as a bit clumsy, the plot made up for it, keeping me intrigued throughout. There are so many questions to be answered: what are these boys doing in the centre of this maze? How do they get out?  What will happen if they do?

Having already seen the trailer for the film, I picked the book up  at Healthy Planet, a great little shop that seems to have just sprung up near where I live  which gives books away for free! I'm now considering buying the sequels, my hesitation only really coming from a fear of not being able to put them down and do my uni work!
