Our students had a blast over the summer break, and also read some great books! Please read their posts with their reading highlights from over the summer and get some ideas for things that you may want to read!
I read KILLER CRUISE and it was a great book it was fun to read and it was mysterious in a lot of ways.U would want to keep reading it till u figured out what will happen. i read it twice this summer and both times i loved it it is one of my top books i read my whole life.
Over the summer I read GamerGirl. It was about a girl trying to fit in at school who had a passion for drawing and got a video game for her birthday. I give the book four stars because the ending was really cheesy.
Over the summer, I read a book called Ttyl. Ttyl stands for "talk to you later". The book was written in instant messages from three girls named Zoe, Maddie, and Angela. I liked the book because it was all about high school, boy drama, and the true meaning of friendship. I give the book 5 stars because it was like a soap opera in my head about teenage girls. (:
Over the summer, I read a book called Quo Vadis. Quo Vadis is by Henryk Sienkiewicz. This book is a classic. My mom made me read it. I personally, didn't like this book, because I don't like to read about gods; but it was ok.
I read 5 Little Pigs. It's a murder mystery by Agatha Christie. I really didn't like this book since one guy gets murdered then nothing else happens. There was no action and no suspense.
This summer I read a book titled Get Well Soon by Julie Halpern. I really liked this book because the main character reminded me of my good friend. Sure, my friend doesn't live in a mental hospital, but their personality's were almost identical. I would definitely recommend this book because it's a fun read, and you can easily relate.
This summer I read It by Stephen King. It is a horror book. I liked this book because it was a very suspenseful book about several adults who make a promise as kids that if It comes to there home town again that they were reunite to stop It.
My favorite book that I have read over the summer would have to be Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. I believe it was an amazing book! I simply loved reading it. It was like a magnet, I couldn't stop. It even taught me a little bit of Spanish. It was horrifying, dramatic, an urban love story, violent, but also caring and sweet. I enjoyed it very much, even during the creepy parts of the book. She is an amazing author who also lives in Illinois. She describes the book and the characters in a fascinating way. I simply want to read it over and over again.
I watched the movie I Am Legend a long time ago, and I didn't know it had a book. So I read the book, and compared it to the movie and I think the novel version has more details in it and the story isn't as confusing as the movie. That is one great book that I read over the summer.
I read a book called Sasquatch. Its about a boy who gets lost in the woods and finds a cabin with a strange old man he lets him stay in the cabin with him. The man knows a secret that the boy doesn't know there are Sasquatches in the woods. The mountain erupts with a volcano one night and the Sasquatch comes and saves them and everyone thinks there crazy.
One of the books I read over the summer was the third book to the Uglies series, Specials. I really liked this book because the hole book is filled with a huge combination of love, lose, and major adventure. This book made me think about the possibilities of the future. As well as the how the things we do now can effect our future. Before you read this book you should read the first two before this one.
One book I read was The Face on the Milk Carton. It was about a girl named Janie who finds a three year old version of herself on the side of a milk carton, but it says she was missing. I found this book interesting because Janie tries to find her real family, but in secret. When the truth comes out about what really happened to her, she learns about cults, siblings she didn't have before, and a whole new life in a different state.
I suppose my favorite book this summer was Unwind by Neal Shusterman. The book had a whole different life to it than ours. It was a book that explained a time in the future, where abortion wasn't allowed, but somethings much worse were. Children from the age of thirteen to eighteen have the risk of being chosen to be unwound (In my words, killed and used for parts) But three kids are rebelling, and on the run. It was simply extremely interesting.
This summer, one of my favorite books that I read was Ttyl. It is a story about three best friends going into their sophomore year of high school. The friends, Zoe, Maddie, and Angela, go through boy troubles, a creepy teacher, and their "enemy" trying to "steal" one of them. I enjoyed this book because it was written in instant messaging
This summer I decided to read Top 10 Uses for an Unworn Prom Dress by: Tina Ferraro. On a scale 1-10 I would rate this book a 7. I enjoyed how every other chapter it would give 1 reason for not using the dress. One reason I didn't like the book was because she then went to homecoming with her best friends brother. It was a cute book in the end and I would recommend this to a friend.
During the summer, I didn't read a book because I don't own any books that are for my age. They all are for children, and I don't feel that reading is that fun.
This summer I read the book The Egypt Game, which is a mystery book. It is about a bunch of kids which live in a small town near a college. They all play a game which they created themselves. They play it in a thrashed backyard, and pretended to be Egyptians. The climax of the book was when they figured out the mystery of the kidnapping. I thought that the book was a 3 star type book, and I thought it was a OK book.
The book I read over the summer was Harry Potter the Sorcerer's Stone. It was a very long and good book. It is about a wizard that goes to a school for the first time. There they learn how to do very cool things with wands and many more cool things. I give this book 3.5 star.

This summer, I read the Princess Diaries series. The whole series includes ten books. For the record, they are NOTHING like the movies. The books' main character is Mia Thermopolis who finds out she is the only heir to the throne of a small European country. I liked the book because, even though she was a princess, Mia dealed with normal high school problems, like fights with her best friend and her mom dating her algebra teacher (which, come to think of it, isn't very normal). I would give the whole series 4 stars.
This summer I read "The Last Song". It was a great book. I felt like I was part of the book. Nicolas Sparks is an amazing author. In the book Ronnie starts out hating her dad and ignoring him. Her dad played piano and Ronnie hated it. She spent a lot of time at the beach and met Will. At the end of the book Ronnie becomes nicer to her dad and talks to him, knowing she won't be able to see him again. The book had great descriptions and was amazing. I would give this book 5 stars.
This summer I read a book called Perfect. It was about a girl who has an eating disorder and has to go to a group therapy. When she goes she sees that the most popular girl in school also has to go to this group therapy because she has the same problem as her. They both get through it together and in the end become good friends.
The book I read over the summer was The Red Badge of Courage, written by Stephen Crane. This book is about a about a soldier fighting for the Union in the Civil War. He fights bravely in each battle, seeing his comrades die after each one. I thought this was a very interesting and educational book about the life of a soldier. I would rate it about 4 out of 5 stars.
This summer I read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. It was about Percy finding out that he was a demi-god and everybody thought he stole Zeus's lightning bolt. He went on an adventure with Annabeth and his best friend to find three pearls so he could tell Zeus he didn't steal the bolt. In the end The lightning bolt was returned. I really enjoyed this book.
Over the summer I read a book called The Things They Carried. This book is about the soldiers in the Korean War and what they carried in their 25 pound backpacks. The book is about the many day to day struggles of a young soldier who has been put in command of his army. Its also about how they adjust to life back home away from the war. I would give this book a 3.5 out of 5 because i thought it could have been more interesting.
Over the summer I read a book called the Navigator. It is a story about a kid who is barely getting by in life, and discovers a secret organization in his backyard and jumps in a portal to a new place. It was long and somewhat confusing to follow.

This summer i read the book Cryptid Hunters. It was about a young boy and his sister who really wanted to search for creatures who did not have enough research to make them actual creatures. They looked for Bigfoot, the Chupacabra, and the Loch Ness Monster. It was really interesting even though it was a fictional story.
Over the summer I read a book called Players. It is a story about a high school boys basketball team that was the best #1 All-City team in the U.S the year before. This year, the team started the first 10 games without a win because no body wanted to pass the ball. As the story went along, they started to use teamwork and they ended up winning the championship. It was a long book but it was interesting. I give this book a 4.0.

I read Chicken Soup for The Preteen Soul by Jack Canfield, Irene Dunlap, and many more people. Some of these stories are by kids. It's a good book about choices, changes, and difficult situations.The book is intended for ages 9-13 but anyone can read it.

Read to find out. I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Over the summer I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid because it is an easy book and it is really funny. Even though these books are for kids they are original comedies. I read all four books and I think all of the books deserve 5 stars. My favorite character was Greg cause he is a kid that doesn't like to really think but when he gets an idea it goes wrong.

Her dad thinks that he is the boss and is really mean to Tera and her mom. She has had many surgeries to remove it but none have worked. One day she is driving home with her mom from a surgeons office and she lost control of the car and crashed into another car. She got out of the car met the people and they ended up having coffee. The moms became friends and they all planned to go to China together. They went to China and there new friends made Tera realize that she really is beautiful. I recommend this book for children 12 and up.
The book I read over this summer was The Vinegar Boy. It was a very fantastic book. It is about a young boy who has a purple birthmark on his cheek that he hates so much. He is a outcast in his village just because he has a purple cheek. He has no family, friends, or people that love him. One day when he is walking around he heard that Jesus was coming to his village. He sets out to meet him immediately,but there is a problem that day is the day Jesus is to be crucified.
Over the 2010 summer I read the book Marley and Me. The first time I ever heard about Marley and Me was the movie so I went to see the movie, so I went to see the movie. Then came out the book, and usually the book is always better than the movie, so I read the book and I thought the book was great it was defiantly a book worth reading numerous times. I loved the movie and loved the book much more. it was easier to read because I can relate to the book and I felt like I was actually in the book, there were some laughs here and there and some sad moments and some tense moments that I liked to read. To me Marley and Me was 4 books in one. It was more than just about a dog it was about raising a family,learning right from wrong, and making decisions in your life. Loved the book!
I read The Chronicles of Narnia: The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis. It was about the Last King of Narnia and his unicorn fighting against the Calormens and trying to capture the false Aslan. Then two children come help him and eventually capture the fake Aslan who is actually a donkey who was deceived by an old gorilla named Shift. They are thrown into a mysterious stable. I really enjoyed this book because it was really exciting!
Julia- That book sounds amazing! I am going to read that for sure! I started it one time and I didn't like the beginning but I didn't read that much into it but now that I read your comment I'm going to finish it! Can't wait to read it!
Kevin6, I honestly didn't like that book. To me, if it doesn't grab my attention, I won't read it. It didn't grab my eye. I tried it. Didn't work out so well.
i agree with dlyan I persaonally love war books espeacially ones about the civil war and the red badge of courage is a great civil war novel It shows us as americans what we fought for and the trroubles that many people went through for that freedom that we all know today.
I like the book Leanne choose and I would want to read the book A Walk To Remember. It sounds like a good book and I'll definitly have to read it sometime.
@ Christina8-2 I agree with you on the book. I read it last summer and really enjoyed it. Sometimes the way it was written would bother me, but I did get used to it. It was very interesting and extatic to read. It wasn't the "best" book that I have ever read, but I did like reading it. I would give it 4 stars.
@ Annie 7-1 Wow! I read that book too! It was a-m-a-z-i-n-g! The book and even the movie was great. I was so pulled into it. Loved it. Great detail also.
Brianna 8-1, I would love to read the book you read over the summer about Penny Lane. I love the Beatles and it sounds really cute. My dad would definitely be happy I read it! (:
Even with the cheesy ending, the book Theresa8 read seems like a different topic to write a book about. I would like to read GamerGirl. It seems it would be interesting.
Kamila, I read The Last Song too. It was a good book. But then I saw the movie and that kind of ruined it because of Miley Cyrus. But the book was good.
Jen 8-1, I think that book seemed odd, but interesting. I would like to read this because I think I might want to read this book because I liked the summary of what you said and I like that theme . It sounded to me that it was kind of a romance and a thriller because she was kidnapped. I would want to read this book.
Catie (8-2) said that she read the book Get Well Soon over summer break. She recommended it for me to read this summer as well. I really agree with the relating it to one of my friends except the mental hospital part of course! But I also really enjoyed the book also!
Oh Angela that IS a really good book. I read it a few years ago but i still remember what it was about becuase it was such a good book! I would recommend it to anyone!
I am commenting on the book by Stephen King that Liam read. I haven't read that book but i want to. I read a different book by Stephen King called the shining. It is about a man named jack who works at a hotel and is sensitive to supern atural forces, and the chef he works with has the same power just to a less degree. He is warned not to go near romm 217. The building acts as a psychic, and manipulates the living and the dead. It is a good horror book to read and has the same suspenseful edge as It that Liam read
@ Joey 8-1's comment: I like your choice of genre and author, but I have heard Agatha Christie is a great thriller/horror author. Your comment really makes me want to take a look into that genre of books her literary work as well.
Monica 8-2, When I was reading your comment, the book you described seem interseting, and seems like something always different happens. Like you would want to keep reading it, to see what would happen next. How you descibed it makes me wanting to read it.
Christina 8-2 I started reading that book, "Ttyl" but I never finished it. I think since you and my sister say its amazing I will start reading it again, if I can find the book...
I think that the book Stolen, that Jen in 81 picked sounds very interesting and she seemed to like it a lot. It would probably be a book I would enjoy reading.
Anthony, I am looking foward to reading your book that you read, Marley and Me. I liked that you said the book is more than just about a dog,it was about raising a family,learning right from wrong, and making decisions in your life. Since you thought it was an interesting book that was fun to read, I think that I would like to read it too. If I were to pick another book to read, I would pick Marley and Me.
Hey I didn't read any of these books but the one that jumped out at me the most was the book Adam read called players. I really liked the way he described the book because as well as him i love basketball and the book appeals and looks interesting to me.
Hey Gen, I think I'll read the Da Vinchi Code. It sounds like a really good book! Oh and I read the Face on the Milk Cartoon too. It was really good. I recommend it to anyone. And there is also a second and third book as well.
So i have been reading the Seedfolks, it's an okoay book lol. I have to say my favorite character is Leona because she is idependant and she knows what she wants. I think it was a teriffic idea to show up to the city hall with a bag of garbage that just proves that she is not afraid to take risks and wants to help take care of her enivironment. i hope this book gets better!
I read KILLER CRUISE and it was a great book it was fun to read and it was mysterious in a lot of ways.U would want to keep reading it till u figured out what will happen. i read it twice this summer and both times i loved it it is one of my top books i read my whole life.
ReplyDeleteOver the summer I read GamerGirl. It was about a girl trying to fit in at school who had a passion for drawing and got a video game for her birthday. I give the book four stars because the ending was really cheesy.
ReplyDeleteOver the summer, I read a book called Ttyl. Ttyl stands for "talk to you later". The book was written in instant messages from three girls named Zoe, Maddie, and Angela. I liked the book because it was all about high school, boy drama, and the true meaning of friendship. I give the book 5 stars because it was like a soap opera in my head about teenage girls. (:
ReplyDeleteOver the summer, I read a book called Quo Vadis. Quo Vadis is by Henryk Sienkiewicz. This book is a classic. My mom made me read it. I personally, didn't like this book, because I don't like to read about gods; but it was ok.
ReplyDeleteI read 5 Little Pigs. It's a murder mystery by Agatha Christie. I really didn't like this book since one guy gets murdered then nothing else happens. There was no action and no suspense.
ReplyDeleteThis summer I read a book titled Get Well Soon by Julie Halpern. I really liked this book because the main character reminded me of my good friend. Sure, my friend doesn't live in a mental hospital, but their personality's were almost identical. I would definitely recommend this book because it's a fun read, and you can easily relate.
ReplyDeleteThis summer I read It by Stephen King. It is a horror book. I liked this book because it was a very suspenseful book about several adults who make a promise as kids that if It comes to there home town again that they were reunite to stop It.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book that I have read over the summer would have to be Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. I believe it was an amazing book! I simply loved reading it. It was like a magnet, I couldn't stop. It even taught me a little bit of Spanish. It was horrifying, dramatic, an urban love story, violent, but also caring and sweet. I enjoyed it very much, even during the creepy parts of the book. She is an amazing author who also lives in Illinois. She describes the book and the characters in a fascinating way. I simply want to read it over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI watched the movie I Am Legend a long time ago, and I didn't know it had a book. So I read the book, and compared it to the movie and I think the novel version has more details in it and the story isn't as confusing as the movie. That is one great book that I read over the summer.
ReplyDeleteI read a book called Sasquatch. Its about a boy who gets lost in the woods and finds a cabin with a strange old man he lets him stay in the cabin with him. The man knows a secret that the boy doesn't know there are Sasquatches in the woods. The mountain erupts with a volcano one night and the Sasquatch comes and saves them and everyone thinks there crazy.
ReplyDeleteOne of the books I read over the summer was the third book to the Uglies series, Specials. I really liked this book because the hole book is filled with a huge combination of love, lose, and major adventure. This book made me think about the possibilities of the future. As well as the how the things we do now can effect our future. Before you read this book you should read the first two before this one.
ReplyDeleteOne book I read was The Face on the Milk Carton. It was about a girl named Janie who finds a three year old version of herself on the side of a milk carton, but it says she was missing. I found this book interesting because Janie tries to find her real family, but in secret. When the truth comes out about what really happened to her, she learns about cults, siblings she didn't have before, and a whole new life in a different state.
ReplyDeleteI suppose my favorite book this summer was Unwind by Neal Shusterman. The book had a whole different life to it than ours. It was a book that explained a time in the future, where abortion wasn't allowed, but somethings much worse were. Children from the age of thirteen to eighteen have the risk of being chosen to be unwound (In my words, killed and used for parts) But three kids are rebelling, and on the run. It was simply extremely interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis summer, one of my favorite books that I read was Ttyl. It is a story about three best friends going into their sophomore year of high school. The friends, Zoe, Maddie, and Angela, go through boy troubles, a creepy teacher, and their "enemy" trying to "steal" one of them. I enjoyed this book because it was written in instant messaging
ReplyDeleteThis summer I decided to read Top 10 Uses for an Unworn Prom Dress by: Tina Ferraro. On a scale 1-10 I would rate this book a 7. I enjoyed how every other chapter it would give 1 reason for not using the dress. One reason I didn't like the book was because she then went to homecoming with her best friends brother. It was a cute book in the end and I would recommend this to a friend.
ReplyDeleteDuring the summer, I didn't read a book because I don't own any books that are for my age. They all are for children, and I don't feel that reading is that fun.
ReplyDeleteThis summer I read the book The Egypt Game, which is a mystery book. It is about a bunch of kids which live in a small town near a college. They all play a game which they created themselves. They play it in a thrashed backyard, and pretended to be Egyptians. The climax of the book was when they figured out the mystery of the kidnapping. I thought that the book was a 3 star type book, and I thought it was a OK book.
ReplyDeleteThe book I read over the summer was Harry Potter the Sorcerer's Stone. It was a very long and good book. It is about a wizard that goes to a school for the first time. There they learn how to do very cool things with wands and many more cool things. I give this book 3.5 star.

ReplyDeleteThis summer, I read the Princess Diaries series. The whole series includes ten books. For the record, they are NOTHING like the movies. The books' main character is Mia Thermopolis who finds out she is the only heir to the throne of a small European country. I liked the book because, even though she was a princess, Mia dealed with normal high school problems, like fights with her best friend and her mom dating her algebra teacher (which, come to think of it, isn't very normal). I would give the whole series 4 stars.
ReplyDeleteThis summer I read "The Last Song". It was a great book. I felt like I was part of the book. Nicolas Sparks is an amazing author. In the book Ronnie starts out hating her dad and ignoring him. Her dad played piano and Ronnie hated it. She spent a lot of time at the beach and met Will. At the end of the book Ronnie becomes nicer to her dad and talks to him, knowing she won't be able to see him again. The book had great descriptions and was amazing. I would give this book 5 stars.
ReplyDeleteThis summer I read a book called Perfect. It was about a girl who has an eating disorder and has to go to a group therapy. When she goes she sees that the most popular girl in school also has to go to this group therapy because she has the same problem as her.

ReplyDeleteThe book I read over the summer was The Red Badge of Courage, written by Stephen Crane. This book is about a about a soldier fighting for the Union in the Civil War. He fights bravely in each battle, seeing his comrades die after each one. I thought this was a very interesting and educational book about the life of a soldier. I would rate it about 4 out of 5 stars.

I would give this book a 3.5 out of 5 because i thought it could have been more interesting.

It is a story about a kid who is barely getting by in life, and discovers a secret organization in his backyard and jumps in a portal to a new place. It was long and somewhat confusing to follow.

ReplyDeleteI read Chicken Soup for The Preteen Soul by Jack Canfield, Irene Dunlap, and many more people. Some of these stories are by kids. It's a good book about choices, changes, and difficult situations.The book is intended for ages 9-13 but anyone can read it.

So the at the moment of creation there was opposites of everything including matter. They create a substance called anti - matter. but when one of the scientist go down to check on the anti - matter downstairs when they realize it was gone it is a highly explosive substance. When they realize it was hidden under the Vatican in rome by an anti - catholic society they are looking for it non - stop. Will they find it or will the anti - catholic society succeed? Read to find out. I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.
ReplyDeleteOver the summer I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid because it is an easy book and it is really funny. Even though these books are for kids they are original comedies. I read all four books and I think all of the books deserve 5 stars. My favorite character was Greg cause he is a kid that doesn't like to really think but when he gets an idea it goes wrong. I hope that the author is going to write more books from this series. I also read almost a quarter of hatchet but it was really boring so i did not read the rest.

She aspires to be a fashion designer when she grows up. In her new school she heard about a scholarship to a great school that specializes in fashion and design that is in Madrid. She would be more likely to win the scholarship if she knew how to speak Spanish. Surprisingly she is from Mexican descent, but doesn't know Spanish! It's a very funny book. Read it and see if Alicia gets her scholarship to her dream school. I gave it 4 stars.
ReplyDeleteOver the summer I read a book called shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. It was about a girl named Grace and a boy named Sam and how they end up falling for each other but it is impossible because of Sams secret. The secret was that whenever it gets cold he turns into a wolf and if he changed this year it would be his last. the story continues on how they try to be safe and yet stay together. I really like fantasy so I give it 4 stars.

These were probably the most exciting and best books i have ever read i give them all 4 and a half stars.

He sets out to meet him immediately,but there is a problem that day is the day Jesus is to be crucified.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read it Maddie! :)
ReplyDeleteOver the 2010 summer I read the book Marley and Me. The first time I ever heard about Marley and Me was the movie so I went to see the movie, so I went to see the movie. Then came out the book, and usually the book is always better than the movie, so I read the book and I thought the book was great it was defiantly a book worth reading numerous times. I loved the movie and loved the book much more. it was easier to read because I can relate to the book and I felt like I was actually in the book, there were some laughs here and there and some sad moments and some tense moments that I liked to read. To me Marley and Me was 4 books in one. It was more than just about a dog it was about raising a family,learning right from wrong, and making decisions in your life. Loved the book!
ReplyDeleteI read The Chronicles of Narnia: The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis. It was about the Last King of Narnia and his unicorn fighting against the Calormens and trying to capture the false Aslan. Then two children come help him and eventually capture the fake Aslan who is actually a donkey who was deceived by an old gorilla named Shift. They are thrown into a mysterious stable. I really enjoyed this book because it was really exciting!

ReplyDelete@ Christina8-2
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the book. I read it last summer and really enjoyed it. Sometimes the way it was written would bother me, but I did get used to it. It was very interesting and extatic to read. It wasn't the "best" book that I have ever read, but I did like reading it. I would give it 4 stars.
Jonathan, I think the book you seems really cool. I think I am going to read that book.
ReplyDeleteDominika; 8-1 :

ReplyDeleteBrianna 8-1, I would love to read the book you read over the summer about Penny Lane. I love the Beatles and it sounds really cute. My dad would definitely be happy I read it! (:
ReplyDeleteEven with the cheesy ending, the book Theresa8 read seems like a different topic to write a book about. I would like to read GamerGirl. It seems it would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteRafal 8-2: We read The Egypt Game in our sixth grade reading class. I have to say, it didn't really like it. I thought it was really predictable.
ReplyDeleteCato, that sounds like a very intreasting book.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a cool book Scott. I might go and check it out at my library.
ReplyDeleteMaddie the book you read seems like a pretty cool book, I think I might read them.
ReplyDeleteKamila, I read The Last Song too. It was a good book. But then I saw the movie and that kind of ruined it because of Miley Cyrus. But the book was good.
ReplyDelete@ Eileen; 8-2
ReplyDeleteThat book was AMAZING. I enjoyed readinq that very much. I love how it was written in IM (instant messaqinq). L8r G8r was also very qood. (:
Jen 8-1,
ReplyDeleteI think that book seemed odd, but interesting. I would like to read this because I think I might want to read this book because I liked the summary of what you said and I like that theme . It sounded to me that it was kind of a romance and a thriller because she was kidnapped. I would want to read this book.
Catie (8-2) said that she read the book Get Well Soon over summer break. She recommended it for me to read this summer as well. I really agree with the relating it to one of my friends except the mental hospital part of course! But I also really enjoyed the book also!
ReplyDeleteMarc I'd give a similar review about Inkheart I agree with you there
ReplyDeleteI totally am with Amber. Iread the whole Twilight Saga, its my favorite seires!! I am TOTALLY on Team Jacob and I just injoyed every second of it!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Angela that IS a really good book. I read it a few years ago but i still remember what it was about becuase it was such a good book! I would recommend it to anyone!
ReplyDeleteI am commenting on the book by Stephen King that Liam read. I haven't read that book but i want to. I read a different book by Stephen King called the shining. It is about a man named jack who works at a hotel and is sensitive to supern atural forces, and the chef he works with has the same power just to a less degree. He is warned not to go near romm 217. The building acts as a psychic, and manipulates the living and the dead. It is a good horror book to read and has the same suspenseful edge as It that Liam read
ReplyDeleteYalitza, I would love to read the book you read. I am so interested in the holocaust and would love to read it!
ReplyDeletei think that anglea hgad a good idea because that book was gook when i read it and i loved that book it was really good.

ReplyDelete@ Joey 8-1's comment: I like your choice of genre and author, but I have heard Agatha Christie is a great thriller/horror author. Your comment really makes me want to take a look into that genre of books her literary work as well.
ReplyDeleteI read marley and me to and I totaly agree with you.It was a great book.I would give it five stars.
ReplyDelete@ marcin your right that book is so funny and it gets 5 stars
ReplyDeleteMonica 8-2,
ReplyDeleteWhen I was reading your comment, the book you described seem interseting, and seems like something always different happens. Like you would want to keep reading it, to see what would happen next. How you descibed it makes me wanting to read it.
Hey, Ben I know that Angels & Demons is a very long book but maybe I'll try reading it sometime.
ReplyDeleteKamila 8-1
ReplyDeleteI LOVE The Last Song! It was a really great movie, too! One of my favorites I think.
Christina 8-2
ReplyDeleteI started reading that book, "Ttyl" but I never finished it. I think since you and my sister say its amazing I will start reading it again, if I can find the book...
I think that the book Stolen, that Jen in 81 picked sounds very interesting and she seemed to like it a lot. It would probably be a book I would enjoy reading.
ReplyDeleteThe book diary of a wimpy kid looks funny.My brother laughs like crazy when he reads them
ReplyDeleteto eileen8-2 : I read the same book eileen! :]
ReplyDeleteJulia7-2 i totaly agree with you i loved the Clique it was such a good book i was so amazed on how Claire would write those things about Massie

ReplyDeleteI also thought that heat was a good book and give the book a b+.
ReplyDeleteface on a milk cartoon sounds like a good book i might read it
ReplyDeleteKevin6

ReplyDeleteScott6,
ReplyDeleteI loved that book too. I'm glad you liked it.
Nigel, that book " A Place in the Sun" seems very interesting and I think that I will read it in the near future.
ReplyDeleteAnthony,
ReplyDeleteI am looking foward to reading your book that you read, Marley and Me. I liked that you said the book is more than just about a dog,it was about raising a family,learning right from wrong, and making decisions in your life. Since you thought it was an interesting book that was fun to read, I think that I would like to read it too. If I were to pick another book to read, I would pick Marley and Me.
That sounds like a really good book, Sydney. Maybe I should check it out of my library...
ReplyDeleteHey I didn't read any of these books but the one that jumped out at me the most was the book Adam read called players. I really liked the way he described the book because as well as him i love basketball and the book appeals and looks interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteNigel i think that the book that you read is very interesting and i think I will read it.

Jordan7-2 I know same here
ReplyDeleteHey Gen, I think I'll read the Da Vinchi Code. It sounds like a really good book! Oh and I read the Face on the Milk Cartoon too. It was really good. I recommend it to anyone. And there is also a second and third book as well.
ReplyDeletechapter 7 for the westing game was really good my favorite part of it was when they got all of the rules.
ReplyDeleteI think the bookie killed Mr. Weasting because I know Weasting was rich but could have owe the bookie money but you never know he could have faked it.
ReplyDeleteSo far out of the charaters I like Sam because hes the nicest and sweetest
ReplyDeleteSo i have been reading the Seedfolks, it's an okoay book lol. I have to say my favorite character is Leona because she is idependant and she knows what she wants. I think it was a teriffic idea to show up to the city hall with a bag of garbage that just proves that she is not afraid to take risks and wants to help take care of her enivironment. i hope this book gets better!
ReplyDelete
