The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins



When I first got the book I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it. I don't like sci-fi, it sounds violent, really not the kind of book I would read, but I read it anyway and I loved it.

Katniss lives in a futuristic world ruled by an evil government, every year to remind the citizens of their complete lack of power, the government holds the Hunger Games. It's when the government chooses one boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts and they fight until there's one victor left. Katniss ends up being the girl tribute for her district and that's where the adventure begins. She meets new people, tastes delicious delicacies, makes friends, fights, gets hurt, kisses, lies and so much more. Katniss is not the only main character,there's Peeta, her fellow tribute who's been hiding something from her since they were five and can make some mean bread, Haymitch, her always drunk mentor, Effie, her always peppy Capitol escort and so many other interesting characters.

This book is really one of a kind, there's action, romance, betrayal, deception, it's got everything. 9 out of 10!

Eclispe by Stephenie Meyer



MY apologies, people. I haven't been on for more than a month and that's just inexcusable. I'm truly sorry. You totally have the right to hate me! Moving on to the review.


OK, so Bella has to choose between Edward and Jacob and she's having a VERY, ridiculously hard time. To top things of someones after her, again and nobody knows. Edward says it's The Volturi, Bella says it's Victoria. Who's it?


Poor Edward, his reason for living is being hunted, again. But that's not all Bella wants something that Edward's reluctant to give her, but he always gives in, will he give in now? He says she can have it when she marries him, but will his will power fade to Bella's whim. It always does. So what's going to happen this time?


READ TO FIND OUT! My lips are shut! I know short, but I really don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it yet. I know most of you have, there still are those few who haven't. 10 and out of 10!

Knots in My Yo-Yo String!


Okay, so my teacher read it to as. It was the autobiography of Jerry Spinelli and it was simply riveting. His life is more interesting than I thought (This might only be because my teacher read it to me)! It talks about his girlfriends, the sports he played,the Hokey Pokey man, and much more. My favorite chapter was the one named "When I became king" . It really sketches a picture in my mind of the splendor he had as prom king with his lovely girlfriend, Julie at his side and all the intellectual glory he snagged as valedictorian. Jerry Spinelli's childhood was amazing and so were his teens even though he eventually lost all his teenhood glory. He did later recover that glory in his adult life by publishing his first book Milkweed. Jerry's books always inhabit many of his life expieriences and that makes his literature a joy to read because you know there's something real in there and that it's not all fake. Jerry always I give it an 8 out of 10. I recommend you read it or have your teacher read it to you.

Twilight!!!!!!!!


Okay, now this is the best book I've ever read with its mix of riveting genres it is simply to die for. It takes place in Forks, Washington where a young girl named, Isabella Swan has relocated to live with her father. At first everything goes pretty well in Forks. Until she catches the eye of a "young", flawless, god-like boy, named Edward Cullen. At first Edward keeps his space and seems like he is not interested in her at all, but she has fallen in love with him (a great example of love at first site). Then one day they start talking and she takes rides to school in his car and they get closer and closer. So close that she finds out that he is a vampire and so is the rest of his family. He saves her life many times in this book proving that he is also head over heels in love. But it doesn't always say peaches and cream,another clan of vampires that suck human blood(The Cullens don't)come to town and their leader and his woman hunt Bella down and trick her into meeting James at her old Ballet studio where her mother is supposedly being held hostage. Bella is severely hurt (a broken leg and painful cuts that cover her body) by James and almost dies,but her soul mate Edward and his family find her and save her life. At the end of this spectacular tale Edward takes Bella to prom (even though she didn't want to) where Jacob Black (one of Bella's friends)tells Bella that his superstitious father wants her to brake up with her boyfriend. But she doesn't let that spoil her good time. Then she and Edward have a little talk about why Edward forced Bella to come to prom and why he doesn't want her to become a vampire. It has a very lovely ending in which they confess their love to each other one last time. I give this book 10 organic apples out of 10 organic apples because it definitely wasn't conventional! Hooray for Twilight!
