Ray Garton - Crucifax. So cool even if it's a bit, um , violent and perverted at some times. Just to sum up the stuff, you follow a group of teens who smokes cannabis, hashish and this stuff over the beginning of their school year. Then a weird man, called MAce comes. And he appears to accept them as they are, a thing that their parents aren't doing. So after some time Mace give to the members of his club a jewel called ''Crucifax''. And after thisday blood stains started to spread out of something cutted in two... It's really violent at some times but if you like horror books this one is great Here is a review from Amazon Ray Garton raised eyebrows in the horror community when he came onto the scene with SEDUCTIONS and DARKLINGS (a favorite of mine) but it was his third novel LIVE GIRLS that earned him cult status among fans and it is still reverred as one of the most frightening vampire novels ever written. CRUCIFAX was his paperback follow up to that novel and it proved him to be a leader among a new generation of horror authors. His work set a new standard in the genre, mainly involving in-your-face horror and gore (which later became known as the Splatterpunk movement, I believe.) CRUCIFAX is a kind of play on The Pied Piper story in a modern setting, but infinitely darker and more terrifying. The Piper in this case is a dark and dangerous man who insinuates himself in with all the bored and jaded and runaway teenagers in a CA town. A young man (who has a very complicated relationship with his little sister,) begins to worry about her when she joins what has become a cult of personality around the dark man. But the young man has no idea what is in store for him when he decides to rescue her. The man who holds her is evil incarnate. And not only does he have the power of psychic domination over the cult members, he commands a pack of wolverine-rat-like creatures that he uses on those who try to fight him... Garton's strengths are his characters and his passion. It burns in a clear, crisp writing style that makes for compelling reading. Keep in mind, however, CRUCIFAX is unapolgetic horror and things get very bloody. (In fact, there is an infamous chapter missing from this mass market paperback that apparently didn't make it past the editor and was later included in a small press "writer's cut" edition called CRUCIFAX AUTUMN.) When Garton does horror, (and he doesn't write enough of them for my tastes) there are few out there that can match him. Highly recommended.

Worst book I've read in years, title translates to "Back to Ina Daman" If you ever need a boring book, take this one. Doens't matter if you can't read Dutch, cause you wouldn't be missing a thing.
Go go, obligated books! :X

The book I am currently reading is The Encounter,from the Animorphs book series.It was published in 1996 and written by K. A. Applegate and is the third book in the series.
The plot of the story where Tobias is starting to lose himself in the hawk body.During a mission,Tobias see's his friends almost getting trapped in morphs like him and it reminds him of when he got trapped and is feeling pretty bad and tries to commit suicide.He feels so bad that he regresses into his hawk instincts for several days,living in the woods and hunting rodents.He then remembers that he still is human inside,even if his outside body is hawk,so he decides to continute to fight against the yeerks and try to save the world one more time,for human kind.
