Book Review

Title: Foul Play
Author: Tom Palmer
Main Characters: Danny Harte, Sam Roberts
Plot:
Danny Harte is obsessed with two things whish are watching football and tackling crime. So when his hero, the legendary footballer Sam Roberts, is kidnapped Danny gets on the case fast. Danny was being chased through the streets on the dark night Sam Roberts disappeared, and was the last person to see Sam Roberts before he went missing.
Recommendation:
This book is really interesting as there is suspense everywhere. It really 'hook' me to read on.
Style of writing:
a) The author uses sentences really good. He uses a well mix of sentences.
Eg.
          - Suddenly one of the men looked straight at Danny. Danny didn't move. Not at first. He kept his head absolutely still. He didn’t dare breathe. Carefully, he shifted his feet into a position he could launch himself from.

b) The author uses lots of descriptive words to describe something.
Eg.
          - The man looking towards him was short. Quite thin. Small features on his face. A moustache. Eventually the man’s eyes turned from Danny towards the bag at the side. He’d not seen Danny. Maybe he’d just sensed him.
