The Devouring Book Review (:

The Devouring by Simon Holt:

The Devouring is a great book if you're looking for a good scare. The Devouring is about these monsters called 'Vours'. Vours are made of oily smoke, they inhabit a person's body when they're scared the most.  Regina (Reggie] Halloway & her best friend Aaron Cole find a journal titled, "The Devouring", which is written in first point of view by a woman named Maci, she talks about how Vours have taken over her brother's body & that Vours have tortured her. Reggie & Aaron believe it's just a made up journal by a crazy woman. But when Reggie's little brother Henry goes from sweet & innocent to rude & vicious, suspicions hit Reggie & Aaron, it soon becomes obvious a Vour has taken over Henry's body & they start to believe Vours are real. Vours get power through fear, they show people their worse fears in their minds & make them believe their fear is happening, when it's only, all in their head. Reggie & Aaron must build up the courage & face their fears if they want to save Henry & get his soul back. .............. The Devouring is a Must-Read for teenagers everywhere, especially to get a good scare.
