twilight:

I've only read about 50 pages of the first book in the saga, twilight. I think the book is excellent in many perspectives. One being that the author takes one event to another at a good pace, not to slow but not to fast. Also she describes Bella's mixed emotions about her school transition and about edward. I've noticed that i am more into fiction books with more realistic settings though. such as the maze runner, the lighting thief series, the hunger games, etc. and the reason is because books like these are ones you can relate to on less extreme levels but there is still a large area for creativity and fiction. Also, when reading good books, its like the book is painting a picture in your mind of every scene. yet every one sees it differently, when a movie is made out of the book, its cool to be able to see what the director saw and compare it with what you saw. all in all i love this book but i highly doubted i would ever like when i first heard of it. So i would most definitely give these books a try if you haven't already.

The death cure

I'm still on the death cure and Ive only gotten a little bit farther than here i was before. Right now Thomas and Brenda have formed with the right arm and have made a plan to bring wicked down and the plan is now in the first stage. Thomas "willingly" went back and joined wicked so that he could plant a device inside that would give Thomas and the right arm an advantage. That advantage is that the device disables the chips in all of the weapons, now they are at least competing with fair game. Since Thomas is going back to wicked, alone, that means everyone else (including the right arm) stays behind until the device is activated. Thomas seems confident with the plan, I think because he feels a sense of responsibility and leadership as well as the fact he may feel he is protecting his friends by going alone. Through out the books I notice that there are certain times and periods where it is clear he is confident and willing to do what ever it takes and how during that time he is either alone on a mission or leading a mission. Anyway, I'm eager to read on and see how their plan to destroy WICKED turns out. I hope you found this suggestion inspiring and choose to find out what happens for yourself.

The Death Cure

I'm on the third book in the maze runner series, its called, "the death cure" although the plot and idea of the story is much to complicated to describe i will say some about it. The book is by, James Dashner and he writes very well, with good detail and description. He paces his books well, during the three books your slowly learn about the world and the main character (Thomas) in bits and pieces. The book I'm reading, not the first to but the last one is about how a manmade virus was accidentally released causing people to go literally insane. thats what thomas's life is about, going through trials to find the cure for it. I love these books because the plot and the detail are so obscure that you wonder how the author every came up with it. other books like these are the hunger games, the lightning thief, and maximum ride. Books where as your read you think one thing might happen but the opposite happens, books where they solve one problem only to encounter another. thomas is described very well in this book, too. He isn't perfect, he has some conflicts and things to deal with and he is really very interesting to read about. all in all i strongly recommend this book, its thrilling exciting and interesting but its one of the best books i've ever read.

twilight:

i read the first 20 pages of twilight in class on monday, i found it on ms.tabers shelf and decided to give it a try. it is actually quite a good book, very realistic and exciting. so far, Bella has transferred to her new school and has just started her first day. its very well paced too, and well written. One of those books where as you read its like watching a movie that you create and envision in your own way. the author is good about making bella's emotions similar to lots of other people. for example, when it's Bella's first day, she describes how she feels in a way that so many people can relate to on their fist days. Also how the author doesn't just give away Bella's personality, it comes in bits and pieces as you read. All in all, i enjoyed the book much more than i thought i would have so i strongly recommend it to someone who hasn't read it.

Im reading, "Don't judge a girl by her cover" By Ally Carter. Its about a teenage girl who goes to a school that the world thinks is just another bratty rich kid school, but thats what everyone else thinks. To go to the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women means to go to spy school, being a Gallagher means your a teenage girl spy. There are four books in the series, I've read two already but have only just started this one. The main character, Cammie Morgan has four room mates at her boarding school. In this particular book, Cammie is visiting one of her (famous) room mates, Macey McHenry in Kansas, to watch her father accept nomination for vice president of the United States of America. But find themselves caught in the scheming plans of kidnappers. As her and her friends try to solve the real question, who is really after macey? I strongly recommend this mix of danger, excitement, romance and humor. I found it to be full of twists and turns but easily paced. I should say this is more of a girl book but, its enjoyable for everyone. I hope you use this recommendation and read the book sometime.

book post: the maze runner

So I finished my book just 2 nights ago, The Maze Runner. I haven't read anything else by the author but it is so action packed, yet there isn't too much going on. It's very well paced and the characters are all so different yet so well described. I couldn't put it down because like i said, it's so well paced that every time you try to put it down, a new situation begins and you must find out. I find this book and the hunger games to be kind of similar, because they both have out of the ordinary plots. Another thing i love about this book is that you can predict something and then the opposite happens. I chose this book because many of my friends had recommended it, and now i recommend it. I hope you read it and love it as much as i do.
