The Ring Of Five

WHAT BOOK AM I READING ?

The book I am reading is called The Ring Of Five by Eoin Mcnamee. The story is a fictional book which involves spies, psychics and many more interesting non-human creatures.

WHO ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS ?

The main characters in the book are Danny who is a person from the upper world ( our normal world ) who is taken to an island in between the upper world and the lower world ( a world full of non-human creatures ) which is called " Wilsons " . He is then taught how to be a spy and it unfolds as if he had been a spy since he was born. Les, a child who has wings and is known as a messenger. He helps Danny settle in to Wilsons and is a good friend of Danny's. Vandra a girl psychic who has vampire like teeth for giving poisons or medicines to people through a bite. She is also very kind to any and is part of their mission later in the story. The final main character is a girl called Dixie. She has the power to disappear and then re-appear in a completely different place. Dixies complexion is alot paler than the usual person and she has a strong friendship with the other 3 main characters.

WHAT IS THE PLOT SO FAR ?
The plot of the story so far is that Danny believes that he is on his way to boarding school but arrives at a mysterious academy. He doesn't know it yet but he is going to embark on a terrifying mission to save his home world. He begins his training to become a spy and along the way he becomes friends with other students who have different worldly talents. Also during his training he has had someone trying to kill him. Further into the story Danny is given a fake letter ( he doesn't know at the time ) stating that his parents have been killed, and so he leaves the academy to join with a group of evil called " The Ring Of Five ". The group are trying to come together to attempt to wipe out the normal human race. With his looks, Danny is accepted into the ring because he is thought to be the missing link. This is because he has the looks of two races of people. This is as far as I have read but I can't wait to read more of this incredible book.

HOW WOULD YOU RATE THE BOOK ?
I would rate this book for the amount I've read a 9 out of a possible 10. This is because it is very intriguing to read, it catches and holds your attention which I love.

Tjawesome it was interesting reading your overview of the story so far and how this parallels with the Harry Potter series - boy doesn't know he's different, turns out he has special powers, goes away to a special school, makes new frinds all with speical talents and has a nemesis trying to kill him.....of course the plot diverges when he joins the 'evil' ring of five....though even Harry had to battle his evil side. Do you think Danny will remian part of the ring?...it would certainly be unusual for the 'hero' of the story to be fighting for the 'wrong' side.

Your book review tells me heaps about the book and I can see the characters in my head. The plot sounds attention seeking and full of action. I think you described the book well and with lots of detail.
