Vibes and Crank are amazing and entertaining books.The character are relatable to not only myself but my fellow peers.The books I’ve chosen aren’t pretty and nice which is good because that’s what most people look for in books nowadays.Vibes and Crank are books i would recommend to my close friends because in my opinion they’re interesting and very entertaining.These are eye catching books for their amazing book covers. Crank is one of the books I’ve chose.The book Crank is about a teenage girl named Kristina a typical high schooler “good girl” leading an average life in Nevada.But Bree is the opposite of her,Bree leads Kristina to the point of self destruction.Bree makes Kristina make bad choices and do drugs.Kristina has three boyfriends in the book,She ends up with her final boyfriend named Chase the “bad boy” who is slightly non attractive but ends up being kind and attractive at the end.The main conflict in the story was Kristina finding out she’s pregnant by Brendan,one of her old boyfriends, that ended up raping her.When she found out she was pregnant she tried improving her life and that means to stop doing drugs and stop drinking alcohol for the babies sake.What I liked about Crank was that Kristina stopped letting Bree decide what’s good for her and not.What I didn’t like about the book is that Kristina knew that Bree was making her do bad things and still let her make

When I first read the requirements for this book review assignment, I wasn’t currently reading a book. I knew I wanted to do it on a Nicholas Sparks books as those are easy reads for myself and I knew a lot of them had to do with family issues. I went to check out a few options at the library when I stumbled across this book, “The Mentor”. I started reading and I was instantly hooked!

The book had a few characters that I liked, but a lot of characters that I disliked. For example Yasmine was a character that I disliked. I didn’t like her because she brought pain to Paige’s life. Yasmine and Paige were best friends for months in Sixth grade. They were constantly doing fun activities together, like having sleepovers or planning each other’s birthday parties, but all that was ruined by a mistake Yasmine made. Paige and Yasmine were at a school dance, when
For my summer reading assignment I chose to read the book “Cake Pop Crush” by Suzanne Nelson. I selected this book, because when I read the analogy of the book it really got my attention. It sounded like a competitive, romance, and eye catching type of book mixed in one. While reading the book I constantly was wanting to know what was going to happen next.
novels I'll willingly read. I mostly enjoy Kishan's character. He is kind of a rebel, and he likes to
I would recommend this book to all my friends. This is a book that I think would help my friends deal with a lot of their problems. For example, one problem that Anna has to face in the book is friends turning their backs on each other. I think that a lot of girls go through this problem, and this book would help anyone deal with that. On a scale from one to ten I would rate this book a ten, because the author really knew how to relate to the readers. And that always makes a story better when you can relate to it. I couldn’t put this book down, it was so magnificent. So I think that anyone could read this book, and enjoy it.
...Never have I read a book that actually picked me up, and placed me into the book. This book actually took me into a battle, then to a quiet town, then into the battle again. Sometimes Brooks even got me to feel the ambiance or mood of certain things or places. Never has a book done that to me. I don’t think I would recommend it for a student looking for comedy, or a laugh, but I would recommend it to everyone else. This book covers tons of different genres, in a matter of a chapter or two. This book has captured me enough to continue reading the trilogy of Shannara.
The book Push by Sapphire is unlike any other book on the AP novel list. It has a heavy topic that may not be suitable for all readers. It is told through the voice of a girl, who has already had a child at the age of 12, and is pregnant with another at the age of 16 from her father. The book explains the difficulties of life after something has happened to you, especially in a sexual manner. Also it is a story of how parents pretty much neglected their child and wanted her to live like her mother, which means living in her own filth, in a poor house off of child support checks.
This book has great balances of love interests, actions, and internal conflict with characters. It has an interesting story so far with new pieces coming up every few chapters that are very important. Like Al attacking Tris, Eric talking about Divergents and how the rebels must be eliminated. Tris and Four are developing feelings for each other, which I find weird because he is basically her teacher. They are only two years apart, so the relationship is not that awkward. In this journal I will be predicting, evaluating, and questioning.
Evaluation: I thought the book was very exciting and suspenseful like her other books. The book had very good detail and an interesting plot. I liked the twist when Juan and the girl’s father came upon Glenn walking down the road. I also liked how the author described the action in great detail. It made me feel like I was right there seeing it all happen firsthand. I don’t think that the author could’ve made this book any better than she did already.
I liked (-- removed HTML --) Diary Of An Oxygen Thief (-- removed HTML --) from the start to the end. The book started out compelling. The anonymous writer did very well and I wanted to keep reading to see if he would ever break his pact with himself to never have an alcoholic drink again. The writer faced many situations that he definitely could have avoided and not hurt other people's feelings. He taught himself and learned from his past experiences. I feel bad for him, because he had to make the mistakes first to even realize what harm he was doing to not only himself but everyone he dragged into his life.
Two novels that I could read over and over again, "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan and "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café" by Fannie Flag. The two novels share similar qualities while conveying their different story lines.
