Reviews
I read one of your great books called Party Animals. I like it because it is thrilling. It almost seems like I am in the story and I'm watching everything that happens. It feels so real. The book is about some things that are half human/half animal. My favourite character is Clayton Quinn. He sees things and it freaks me out. I also like him because I know how he must have felt. I get scared when I see things moving on my bedroom walls or hear funny noises. I think his reaction was completely normal because that's how I felt and I'm sure others would too. When he saw the shadows, I probably felt more scared than him.
This book is suitable for people 9, 10 or over. I am 9 and I thought it was fantastic.
