The book I'm reading rocked because it is a very thrilling and compassionate sequel to The Hunger Games. The most memorable thing that happened in the book was when Katniss decides she is going to die to save Peeta because she owes him her life after he worked to save her in last year's Games. Yes I would recommend this book to a friend, because it is a really big hit series. Yes I have read the first one.Catching Fire

The book I'm reading rocked because it's very adventure it's also very good and has a great story line. The most memorable part was when he saved his girlfriend and teleported a whole house this lead to it being under water and him saving his girl friend. This book is good because it's have every emotion in it and is pact.

The book i'm reading rocked because it is a very suspenseful, creative and imaginable story starting off with Sirius Black who is a wizard convicted as murderer escaping from Azkaban clearly wanting to kill Harry. Harry later realizes Sirius Black is his grandfather and During the climactic Shrieking Shack scene, Black's innocence is revealed; it is the very alive Peter Pettigrew who committed the crimes. The most memorable part of the book was when Harry also learns it was Black who gave him a Firebolt broomstick at Christmas as an anonymous gift. Black also gives written permission for Harry to visit Hogsmeade Village on school outings, and, as compensation for losing his "pet" rat, he donates the tiny delivery owl to Ron. These last few parts of the book were most memorable because they impacted me very much. I would defiantly recommend this book to a friend. And finally this book makes you read other books by the same author.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

The book I'm reading rocked because it was made by the New York Times best selling author, chilling, and atmospherically thrilling. The most memorable part to me was when Rory finds herself in great danger and part of a group of people that are, apparently, the secret ghost police of London. The story takes place with Rory Deveaux who is an American teenager from Louisiana as she attends her senior year at a London boarding school. Her arrival in England coincides with the outset of a series of gruesome murders by what seems to be a Jack the Ripper wannabe. I would recommend this book to a friend because it is very well written and it's interesting because only some people can see the ghosts, such as Rory. I'm looking forward to reading the next one.The Name of the Star

The book I'm reading rocked because it is very adventures and has action that bring hooks the reader in. My most memorable part is the main part where kaitness meets up with her enemy's then has to battle them to death and continue on this tiny shape island. I would recommend this book to a friend that is interested in action and adventure. Yes this book makes me want to read more books by this author.Catching Fire

The book "The Legend of Alexandros: The Immortal" rocked because of its darkness, and excellent lituarture that drew me into reading what is going to happen. The most memorable part of this book was when Xenil's father took a leap of faith, and pushed Xenil out of the way in order to save him from being bured alive by a trail of flames that were storming towards him. That scene in the book had vivid imagry as well as strong emotions. I would recomend the book to anyone who are seeking fantasy/sorcery novels. I would rate this book a 5/5 stars. This book makes me wish to read the next book of the author. That is what I think about this book.

The Legend of Alexandros: The Immortal

About a month ago I read a book called GREGOR THE OVERLANDER by SUZANNE COLLINS who also wrote The Hunger Games. It's about a boy name Gregor who fell into a hole to the underworld where all kind of of living things exist (but a much bigger form). This book makes me want to read more. I look forward to the next book. At luaren's class aka Eugene.

The book i am reviewing is the fault in our stars by john green. The Fault in Our Stars
1. Why this book rocked (or didn't)?
This book rocked because, it's a story of love and loss and out has a lot of raw emotion in the book.. it's pretty realistic and its defiantly a relatable book for teenagers, and anybody who is or knows somebody suffering from an illness.
2. What was most memorable?
The most memorable was the main character discussing her love.. and parts about her terminal illness. "The Fault in Our Stars tells the story of cancer-stricken 16-year-old Hazel Grace Lancaster. Knowing she has a terminal disease, she doesn't do much except watch “America's Top Model” and read The Imperial Affliction over and over. Hearing “cancer,” you might expect a story of bravery and heroism, where the illness is the antagonist and somehow the protagonist overcomes the awful torture, but The Fault in Our Stars is not like this. It features cancer, but not as the main topic."
3. Would you recommend this book to a friend, and why?
I would recommend this book to a friend because, it's pretty good and not that long it gets a 5-out-of-5 from me i guess.
4. Does this book make you want to read other books by the same author, or other books with the similar subject matter?
This book does make me want to read other books by the same author, or other books with the similar theme because it's what i am interested in and what i was looking for at the time when i searched and found this book.

My favorite part was when Gale and Katniss are in the woods hunting and Gale kissed her out of the blue.
3. Would you recommend this book to a friend, and why?

4. Does this book make you want to read other books by the same author, or other books with the similar subject matter?
Not really, but this one was really good.

The book that I read is Gregor the overland. This book rocked because it talks about animal and bugs how useful they can really be. 1 awesome thing is that the every thing is gigantic. Another cool thing thing that people lives underground of earth. The civilization there is kind of old school. So Gregor and his little baby sister fell into a hole to the underground. Then met whole lot of people and bugs.
