In Search of the Greeks: Book Review
Book: In Search of The Greeks
Author: James Renshaw
This is an excellent book all about Greek history! There are six main topics:
1.) Greek Religion
2.) The Olympic Games
3.) Athenian Drama
4.) Athenian Society
5.) Athenian Democracy
6.) Sparta
Excellent book! If you really enjoyed learning about the Greek history, come to Classical Civilization Club, on Monday lunchtime or Wednesday afterschool in room 203.

Marx for Beginners: Book Review
Book: Marx for Beginners
Author: Rius
I picked up this book so that I could make my mind up about communism ideas. This book must be read from beginning to end in chronological order to be understood. And there is a very useful glossary in the back for any words you are unsure of. I don not recommend reading this book all in one go, to avoid a collosal brainache!
The reason why I have only given this book a 7/10 is the bias that we encounter throughout the book.

The Zombie Survival Guide: Book Review
Book: The Zombie Survival Guide.
Author: Max Brooks
This amazingly written book is written in a non-fictional way and goes into so much detail that at the end of it, you suddenly feel quite vulnerable and begin to plan your defence!
Brooks even goes into detail on the science of zombies and answers questions that would make zombie movies un-realistic. E.g: How do they moan if they do not breath?
Advice is given on weapon choice, how to defend your home, how to survive on the run, how to survive in numbers and of course how to kill un-dead assailant.
