about my book. I like it.. I have read it last year but i do not really remember it so that is why i chose it again. There is one character that is mentally challenged and he is funny. The book of mice and men is really good lenny the one that was special likes petting soft stuff and he kills litte furry animals.

Fallout- Ellen Hopkins
300

I love this book. Crank, Glass and Fallout have all left me wanting more. I predict the children are going to meet their mother soon. I'm not really sure how I feel about the children being the perspectives and not Bree/Kristina. I'm a little bit lost in Glass, it ended with her going to Jail and finding out she's pregnant, in this book...she's out of jail? #Crazy #INSANE #OutOfThisWorld #GOELLENHOPKINS

Andrew Snyder | 3 comments 10/28/13 Catching Fire 316
The book catching fire is the second book in the series The Hunger Games. It is about a girl named Katniss who won the first hunger games and is force to participate in them again because it is the 75 anniversary. I predict that she will win again even though she is trying to protect Peeta.


message 8: by Dade (new)

Dade | 3 comments October 28 Maximum Ride 50

This is a good comic and series. From what I know oh there are six books and I am almost finished with book six.

I don't have any questions.

I predict that the Main 6 to 7 characters will not die.

Nothing to really criticize.

It just keeps you interested and you do not want to put it down because seeing what these kind of drugs can do to you and help make your actions.


message 10: by Emma (new)

Emma Gould  | 4 comments Entry #1. Date 10-28-13 title Just Listen Pages read 301

Thoughts- I like the book it's pretty good so far. Not what I was expecting to read about.

Questions- In a part of the book she leaves a guy that is a good friend and that will listen to her and wants her to tell the truth. Something happen that day before she went to go see him. And she won't tell him why. Why won't she tell him what happen?

Predictions- I think she is going to lose her friend and won't tell him what happen.

Criticisms- I don't like that she won't tell what happen.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Pages read 39
I think this is a good book, so far and it explains its self quickly,right off the bat, it is easy book to read and kind of funny to. My predictions of this story is that the kid on the reservation is going to be a cool kid rather then the nerdy kid like at the beginning of the story, i have no questions and no criticisms.

Allegiant page 133
This is the third book of the divergent series. My thoughts on this book is that is a very great good so far. The people in my book are in a new a place and there not adapting to it very well. And they have a choice to stay there or go back to where they came from and I predict that they will go back to where they came from to help them and make the place better.

Dru Kavan | 4 comments 10/28/13 Allegent Finished
This is a great book, I'm not fond of the ending but it has a good one. Roth knows how to keep her readers interested into the story, and keep them there.


message 14: by Nikki (new)

Nikki | 4 comments October 28th The Maze Runner -pg 22
So far this book is great its really catches your attention right away. very good if you like books like the legend series.
The book starts off as the main charecter waking up and not remembering anything but his first name. He wakes up in this place called Glade. This place is filled with kids just like him.

Kaitlyn Sherburne | 4 comments 10-28-13 To Kill A Mockingbird 170 pages
To Kill a mocking bird is a great book bacsically telling about what it was like for black people in the old days.

I don't have any questions about my book.

the black guy on trial will get killed in jail

There's nothing to criticize about this book because it's a good book.

I thought that this book is really awesome and gives a lot of life advice and lessons. I was wondering how this book will end. I predict it will end with a one big lesson for life that has something to do with The Lord. The one thing that I don't like about this book is how it has some very short chapters and some long chapters. I thing they should be more consistent.


message 17: by Nick (new)

Nick Schamber | 2 comments October 28: The Lord of the Rings: 227

The book follows the movie almost perfect the only thing that is different so far is that when the Nazgul were trying to get Frodo Glorfindel came to get Frodo out of there and into Rivendell, but in the movie Arwen the kings daughter rode in to save Frodo.


message 18: by Erin (new)

Erin Grantham | 3 comments 10/28/13 Th1rteen R3asons Why, page #9
Th1rteen R3asons Why is about a boy named Clay Jensen who received a collection of tapes detailing why Hannah Baker committed suicide. When listening to the recordings she explains that everyone who received the tapes is one of the reasons why she committed suicide.

Ryne Dailey | 4 comments 10-28-13 Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets 38

I just finished the first book of this 7 book series (Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone), which was very good. It made me want to read the second one. This book is about a boy who gets accepted into a wizards school the year before and finds out that he shouldn't go back to Hogwarts because its dangerous. I predict that he'll go back to school. The only thing I criticize is that the book and the movie are way off in some parts.


message 20: by Brianna (new)

Brianna Secord | 4 comments 10/28/13 The golden Lily finished book
The book pretty much is about a girl fighting against what she has always known/ be told is right. She sees things differently and finds her self second guessing everything she raised to believe.


message 21: by Tommy-Lee (new)

Tommy-Lee J Armstrong | 3 comments 10/28/13 The Hunt for Red October 245

The Hunt for Red October is a thrilling cold war tale of a defecting soviet submarine. My only complaint so far is that it is difficult to put down once picked up.


message 22: by Bryan (new)

Bryan Scott | 2 comments 10-28-13 pg.319
The book Inside Team Seal Six is all about a military team that does the most top secret missions in the world. The team in the book is seal team six and this team was the team took out vinladin and some of the other most wanted people in the world as well as some of the biggest terrorist groups.

Elin Nevlen | 2 comments October 28 Lock & Key 161
I like the book. It's about a girl who live with her sister and I think something has happen with her family but I don't know why. This girl is new in school and the book is about her life. There is not really a lot of things going on in her life but I like the book, I don't really know why.


message 24: by Amber (new)

Amber Wroblewski | 3 comments Reached(book 3 and final book of the matched series by Ally Condie)
This book is my second favorite of the trilogy. In the book it will be narrated by 3 of the main characters,Cassia, kle, and Xander. Each character are working, trying to get to the other and Cassia will have to choose between, Kyle and Xander. The only thing I did not like about this book was going back and forth between the characters.


message 25: by Jack (new)

Jack | 4 comments 10-28-13 Ender's Game 287
An amazing sci-fi novel, soon to be a Major Motion Picture. Young genius Andrew "Ender" Wiggin must learn to command armies against impending alien attack. Well worth the fairly short read.

He has that many confirmed, but how many kill does he take credit for? What do you think about his death? If you had his job, would you have taken on that responsibility? Please tell us about a kill--your favorite.

Very impressive, but he only holds the American record. Still not as good as Simo Häyhä, who got 505 confirmed sniper kills. I would like to read that book when you're done with it.

The aliens are hive minded, basically bugs. They have no language, so they have no way to communicate with us. Since they can't talk to us, we're just in their way.

I honestly don't know how they're going to fit the entirety of Ender's Game into one movie. It seems too complex/long a story for that. Also, they have to deal or work around the book's rampant nudity. The visual effects and costuming looks good though; I'm looking forward to seeing it.

It has deep and enriching concepts, but is not inherently a difficult read- the language is fairly simple. Ender's Game, therefore, is a book that just about everyone can read, but not everyone can receive the full philosophical meaning from.
