Kenzie’s comments from the Should have read classics group.

This book made no sense, of course lol

This is a sweet story with a powerful message I'm glad I read in middle school so we could discuss it as a class.

Growing up with the cartoon I read this a couple years ago and laughed as I pictured some of the adventures that I remember seeing as a kid. Truly a classic for everyone!

I read this a long time ago, but remember being pleasantly surprised as to how much I enjoyed it, maybe because I was really young. But I always enjoyed stuff about pirates and it was a fun adventure.

I had to read this in high school and just couldn't get into it probably for that reason. Don't know if I'll reread it or not...

I remember reading this in high school, and although I was perplexed about Dorian Gray it was so interesting seeing his transformation and how the painting manipulated him into a real monster on the inside of such a "beautiful man."

I read this a couple years ago, and it was written beautifully. The beginning when he firsts comes to the castle is chilling. Can you imagine? Being a "guest" to a vampire, talking to him? Favorite part of the book was that entire first visit. Parts did drag on a while with not enough Dracula, like when they were trying to cure her. But it was an enjoyable read. This is what vampires are! Seductive powerful killers! Not that sorry excuse called Twilight.

I loved this book. Sure it was a little slow to me here and there, but it's so sad to think about what the Giver and the boy go through and how it effects their lives. And it's horrifying to me about what the father has to do with the babies. The ending was perfect for this type of book.

See, I saw the musical in NYC and saw the movie with Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum so I already loved it. The book was pretty good, not what I expected

The Phantom of the Opera

I just read this past weekend The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells and Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream. TIM was really more interesting than I thought. there were dome boring parts, but I still enjoyed it. I just started reading The Phantom of the Opera. it's my favorite musical besides Les Miserables, and I wanna read that book next!

Sorento:

it gives me the chills

I found this very interesting. ..although I hate bugs, I felt sorry for Gregor. I mean he was stuck on his back in bed, poor thing! And his boss and most of his family! Don't get me started on yhem! it's not my favorite, but I don't regret reading it
