I am reading a book called "Philippa Fishers Fairy Godsister" It is by Lis Kessler, and I am on page 37.
One thing that I don't like about my book is, it is a fantasy book. I really dislike fantasy books. The reason is because its not something that could really happen. One thing that I like about this book, is that the author makes it seem like it can really happen. The reason I say that is because when Philippa finds a fairy in her backyard, she brings it her tree house and makes her own little place to be in. I alwaso like it because when Philippa foud the fairy she becan to worry like it was goin to do something bad to her house and she ran down stairs to check up on her.

Te author is Rick Riordan and the book is the titaans curse . I am done with the book but my favorite thing about my book is that the main character has powers. I dont like how the book always have somthing to do with rescuing people.

jtomlinson4 said...

The book I am reading is Found by Margaret Peterson. I am on page 22 and thing I really like is it gives good details about what’s going on. One bad thing is that it gives so much details that it’s hard to follow. But other than that it is a really good book.

rstraub2: Sounds like a good book

jbaptiste2: might read that book

The book I am currently reading is Love and Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson. I am on page 11. One thing I don't like about the book is how all four girls in this book are far away from each other. They are best friends but they can't see each other because they all went off to college. One thing I like about this book is how they all still have a close relationship. They still have stayed close through tough times.

lmehan4 said...

Rstraub2-
I don't like fantasy books either.

lmehan4 said...

jbaptise2,
That book is really good!

tfowler3 said...

I am reading "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban" by J.K. Rowling.I am on page 185. One thing I really like about my book is that it is Harry Potter, and i'm a Harry Potter nerd. One thing I don't like is the fact that it's really long, like Rstraub2's response.

amonari2 said...

THe book that am reading is called ransom and it is by louis Duncan and the page that i am currently on is page 201.The think that i do not like about this book is that it doesn't give detail. And i am the type of person that if there isn't enough detail then i dont understand it. So there are some points in the book where i am point blank lost. The thing that i like about this book is that it is mystery it always has you thinking 'what's going to happen next?' or 'why did he do that?' sometimes i find myself yelling at the book although that could just be me being me i dont know but tit is very interesting.

amonari2 said...

rstraub2,
that sounds like a very interesting book i hope that i could read it and talk to you about it after wards.

amonari2 said...

jbaptiste2,
sounds cool

Twilliams03 said...

One of the specific things I like about my book is the fact that the autor did such a great job at creating the book the things she includes or makes up in the book almost seems real. Like the man eating rats.The talking bats.The people that live thousands of feet under the streets of New York and the blind sea serpents,etc.
One specific thing I don't like about my book is that the author always says the obvious.Like say someone died she always says something like they passed or they went into the next relam things like that. Other then that the book is awesome.
BOOK AUTHOR:SUZZANE COLLINS
BOOK TITLE:GREGOR AND THE CURSE OF THE WARMBLOODS
BOOK PAGE:40

Twilliams03 said...

One specific thing i like about my book is the creativity the autor put into it. Like the talking rats that eat people and other things. Like the talking spiders. Like the talking bats and everything else youn could think of. Even three foot tall fireflies.
One thing i do not like about my book is the fact that the author always quotes the obvious.Say someone died in the book after they die she always has to mention 50,000 times when the reader already understands that someone has died.
BOOK TITLE:GREGOR THE OVERLANDER AND THE PROPHECY OF WARMBLOODS.
BOOK AUTHOR:SUZZANE COLLINS
PAGE:100

twilliams03 said...

RSTRAUB2, your book sounds really interesting i hope you enjoy the rest of it.

Twillams03 said...

jtomilson4, your book sounds really interesting and i really hope you enjoy the rest of it.

KBroome96 said...

The book I am reading is The Phantom TollBooth by Norton Juster. I am on page 80. I am reading this book for a project in Mr.Pickerings class so it's a little below reading level.
One thing I really like about this book is the word play the author uses. He doesnt make normal sentances he likes to rhyme things. I also love how much creativity he put into this book. One thing i dislike about the book is it kinda seems like its dragging on and im waiting for what the true goal of the stroy is.

kBroome04 said...

jtomlinson4
I loved that book!

KBroome04 said...

Um yea ms. Thomas i kinda failed and put 96, i put in my username for something else. whoops

KBroome04 said...

Twilliams03
sounds cool i might read that.

kmedero2 said...

The book I am currently reading is called I Know What You Did Last Summer. The Author is Lois Duncan. I am currently on page 10. One thing I like about my book is that it keeps you guessing on what is going to happen next. Like when the narrorator saids that there's a letter on the table in the very first sentence in the chapter. But they don't tell you what it says until the very last sentence of the chapter. One thing I don't like about the book is that it hasn't gotten to the action yet. I've seen the movie and I know more is going to happen. I hope it's as good as the movie.

choner2 said...

The book I'm reading is called "Kid Lawyer, Theodore Boone," by John Grisham. I am curently on page 89. One thing I like about this book is that it is about a kid wanting to and learning about the law. I say this because this could be something that I can do when I get older; go into the law business. I don't really have any dislikes on the book right now, to me it's a great book.

bwalton2 said...

The book I am currently reading is called The Third Eye and the author is Louis Duncan. I am on page 7 because I just got this but book. One thing I like about my book so far is that the main character Karen is babysitting and her boyfriend tried going to see her while she was and she refused to do anything with him because she felt uncomfortable. She doens't want to cause she doesn't want the little boy to walk in and see that and then tell his parents and she has the baby with her. One thing I don't like about this book is that the boyfriend is getting upset cause Karen won't kiss him or anything.

kmedero2 said...

lmehan4,
I've heard that it's a good book.I hope you enjoy it like others did.

klbennett3 said...

The book i just finished reading was Derek Stone the 3rd and 4th book. Then author is Tony Abbott. The part i really liked in the book was when Derek found out who he really was with the help of his mother. The part i didn't like was when Ronny died. Over all it was a great book.

khunziker3 said...

I am reading the book called The Lightning Thief. I am on page 30. One thing that I really like about my book so far is the way the book is told. The way he uses Percy as the nararator is really cool. Its like hes actually talking to you. The one thing I dont like is that you dont always "see" whats going on.

kbennett3 said...

jtomlinson4
sounds like a good book

khunziker3 said...

@tfowler
I tried reading the Harry Potter books but I couldn't. So i stuck to the movies.

khunziker3 said...

@twilliams
Is that book like the City of Ember or totally different?

kbennett3 said...

Rstraub2
the book sounds interesting.

Droller4 said...

The Name of my book is Deeper by Brian Williams. Also I am currently on page 59. One thing that I really like about this book is that all the charactes have their own personality, some have some crazy hobbies, and some might have really weird habits.Its like there is no chance that any character will be alike to another. One thing I don't like is how sometimes the author is unclear about what he is trying to describe. Also he changes topics to fast, he'll be talking aboutone thing and then quickly change to another.

Droller4 said...

T williams sounds cool, and interesting.

Droller4 said...

T fowler, is there anything else you like about your book besides that?

ale4 said...

jtomlinson4, That sounds like the best book in THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And if you don't believe me then your crazy.

kfundenburg4 said...

My book is called Wings. The author I Aprilynne Pike and I am on page 28. One thing I really like about my book is the fact that these events could happen in real life, and it seems so real when i'm reading it. One thing I don't necessarily like is the fact that in the begining it's kind of boring. The beginging is boring but I know that in the end it will be interesting.

abonacci4 said...

Author- Micheal P. Spradlin
Title- The Youngest Templar:Book One: Keeper of the Grail
On Page 231 of 248
I really like that it takes place during the medieval times. I like this because it was one of my favorite times. The only thing I don't likeis that Tristan is an orphan.

kmedero2 said...

bwalton2,
That sounds like an interesting book.

TLand4 said...

I am currently reading "The Red Pyramid" by an extremely famous author, Rick Riordan. One thing I like about this book is that he switched writing about Greek mythology and started on Egyptian mythology. Instead of having powers inside them, they write out hieroglyphics and curse spells like that. One thing I dont like is how in one of his books someone always dies. In this one their father dies in front of their eyes.

TLand4 said...

Jamaal,

I love the Titan's Curse, just wait until "The Last Olympian" it gets so much better in that book.

TLand4 said...

Trey,


You told me you already read the Harry Potter series. Surely, you aren't re-reading it in the same year?

sdeemer2 said...

The name of my book is The Secret Language of Girls by Frances O'Roork Dowell. I am on page 22. One thing that I like about this book is it’s about two girls going into sixth grade and they are talking about boys. One thing that I dislike is that they act like they are in second grade. Also, it is a little boring because they are talking about random thing, like animals.

sdeemer2 said...

kmedero2,
That book sounds good!

sdeemer2 said...

Twilliams03,
Sounds good! Hope you enjoy it.

jcsandercook2 said...

The book im readin is called Harry Potter and the prisoners of askaban im on page 125 and one thing i like about the book is it is verry discriptive and verry entertaining to read it is verry detailed about what happens. One thing i dont like is that like after they solve every mystery they are on another one come up outa no where it is verry tense and you never can guess what is comming around the corner and i dont like not knowing about whats ganna happen i like being able to know what is ganna happen or guess any ways.

kfundenburg4 said...

amonari2,
So do you understand your book because it doesn't give enough detail?

kfundenburg4 said...

bwalton2,
I don't understand why your book is called the third eye. Hahaa

llindsey3 said...

llindsey3
The book i am currently reading is called lay that trumpet in our hands by susan carol mccarthy. I am on page 23 because i just started reading this book. One thing i really dislike about this book is that its historical fiction. I like historical fiction but some parts are really boring in this book so far. One thing i really like about this book is that it paints a picture in my mind and what the characters are feeling. One example is in the book it says how the body was laid out in the back of the truck with red blood oozing out of his lip and deep scratches filled with blood were all over his body. It really paints a picture in my mind of what that looks like.

llindsey3 said...

Rstraub2,
I dont like fantisies either but i guess i have to read one this nine weeks...ugh

llindsey3 said...

jtomlision4,
I dont know why i am commenting to you(enemy) but.. i would just like to inform you i have read that book and it was really good.

SMOUSHEY04 said...

ninth grade slays pg 84 by heather brewer i like that it includes a normal teen like us and hes normal problems but hes a vampire. i like everything about it. he has this one girl he likes but hes speechlees when he talks to her. he has a guy after him so theirs action. also theres some funny parts to it

SMOUSHEY04 said...

jtomlinsion 4 i might read that book

SMOUSHEY04 said...

imehan04 sounds awesome

asheehan3 said...

My book is called "Lock and Key." The author is Sarah Dessen and I'm on page 196. One thing I like about this book is that Ruby, the main character, is learned about family during this whole book. She lived with her mom when she was growing up. But one day, her mom just disappeared with all of her stuff. Ruby thought she was just going to be a couple of days. But, weeks and months have passed and she has a broken dishwasher, broken dryer, and the air conditioner is broken too. When the landlords showed up and saw that she was alone they called the cops. Ruby had to move with her older sister, Cora, and her husband, Jamie. She has to go to a new school and live a rich life. She has her own room, own bathroom, and a closet that is as big as her room. She has a neighbor, Nate, who is her new friend. He is a sweet guy who is very active and cute. One thing I don't like about this book is the mother. The mother was only in the beginning of the book and she is really mean. I wish she didn't just be mean. All she did was yell, drink, and invite guys over. Ruby never got a real mom. I think they should have made the mom be a little bit nicer. Or maybe the mom should come back and be changed. I love this book and everyone should read this.

asheehan3 said...

lmehan4,

That sounds like an interesting book.

asheehan3 said...

Rstraub2,

I feel the same way about fantasy books.

ACepeda3 said...

Twilliams03

your book seems cool.would u recamend it to some one like me.

ACepeda3 said...

kmedero2

I saw the movie is the book better.

ekeck04 said...

rstraub2
You don't like fantsay books? I happen to really enjoy most fantasy books. I hope you end up enjoying your book!

bwagner2 said...

Im reading the marine corps writen by John Smith. Im on page 44. I like how it talks about the marines history and how it was brought up. It is really intresting to me. One thing i dont like is how it shows something from the past, and then the next page it is something that is hapining now. I think that makes the book a little off topic sometimes.

bwagner2 said...

jcsandercook2, Is that a good book? I knever read it.

bwagner2 said...

droller4, Is that a good book or intresting?

Jbaptiste2 said...

My book is The Roar and one thing i like about it is that it is suspensful. I hate that the timeline is so confuzing. The story is not in chronological order but im still going to give it a shot.

kyoung2 said...

The one thing I really liked about my book is the humor. Like this guys wife is always picking on him because his mom named after a wild person but never leaves the house. One thing I hate about my book is the lack of action. This book is supposed to be about Sasquatch and I have not heard about it yet. The book I am reading is Sasquatch, i am on page 7, and the author is Roland Smith.

kyoung2 said...

Rstraub2,
thats cool

Jbaptiste2 said...

bwalton2
Is the book mysterious?

kyoung2 said...

jtomlinson4,
cool

Jbaptiste2 said...

kmedero2
Is it a good book?

jcsandercook2 said...

Rstraub2, awesome book!!!

jcsandercook2 said...

jtomlinson4, yea i dont like how those kinda books give all the details it is so confusing to me also good luck.

tkeatley4 said...

My book is "Fable haven:keys to the demon prison" by brandon Mull. I'm on page 34. The best part of my book is the powers that Seth and Kendra have. The abilities help them complete missions assigned to them with ease. The worse part is hard to say since my book is pretty awesome. The worse part is definatley the awesomely evil monsters.

tkeatley4 said...

smoushey,

Sounds like it would be funny from the name.

ale4 said...

I am currently reading the book called Eclipse. I am currently on page 289. One thing I don't like about this book is that its a fanasty book. I usually dislike fanasty books, but so far this is probally my favorite fanasty book. Its a fansty book because it talks about Vampires.One thing I like about this book is that Its very descriptive describing the kissing scenes and others.

hfundenburg4 said...

The book I am reading is called Twilight. The author is Stephanie Meyer and I'm on page 291. One thing I like about my book is that it paints a picture in my head so every little detail that is explained, I can picture it right in my head. One thing I don't like is that this book is all about vampires and I'm not really a fan of vampires.

hfundenburg4 said...

asheehan3,
Your book sounds good. I think I will consider reading it.

hfundenburg4 said...

Rstraub2,
I don't like fantasy books either, but I like how the author can make things seem like it could really happen.

mbooth3 said...

The book I am reading is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I am currently on page 86. One thing I don't like about my book is that it gets really confusing. One moment in the book the main character Montag will be driving down the street and then the next sentence is him at home talking with his wife. I dislike how it doesn't explain who is talking or where they are at. One thing I like about my book is how it mixes sci-fi and realistic fiction. The book is supposed to take place in the distant future but there are robots and advanced inventions like a firehouse pole that pulls you up automatically. My book also has realistic fiction because it is about a society that doesn't think for itself and has abandoned books and only burns them.

mbooth3 said...

asheehan3,
Your book sounds very interesting and I feel sorry for the girl with the evil mom.

mbooth3 said...

tfowler3,
Harry Potter books are usually very long I think they are about 500 pages long. I agree that Harry Potter is awesome and I am a nerd too.

scrossley4 said...

The book Im Reading is Dr. Franklin's Island by Ann-Halam and I am on page 27. I like the fact that there are difficult people who are stranded on this island. They have to come together to survive on it. One character is Mairanda and she wants to be the boss, wants to lead the survival. Another character is Arine and all he do is complain and not let Mairanda be in charge. The main character is Semi and she is stuck in the middle, she wants to know will they get off the island. One thing I dont like about the book so far is that it needs to elabarate more. Most books I put myself in that situations but in this book I cant do that. It only says the plane expoloded it does not describe it. It only says they swamed for their lives it dont tell me how they were swimming.

scrossley4 said...

Rstraub, I agree with you it is kind of hard to put youself in a fantasy book. They are fun to read but sometimes you are confused because you know it cant happen.

scrossley4 said...

Jbaptiste2, that book sounds interesting and I think it is fantasy. I dont know if I could have keep up with it. The books I read that I know the topic cant happen is Science Fiction.

jwang4 said...

The book i am reading is Fearless by Tim Lott. I am on page 85. I like this book because of the interesting plot. This book is completely different story then the other books people wrote.
The thing i dislike about the book is that it is very confusing. The entire story takes place in a different time it gets very confusing because of that sometimes.

jwang4 said...

lmehan4,
that book sounds intresting

jwang4 said...

tfowler3,
that is a good book.

abonacci4 said...

(Continued)
Tristan doesn't know who his parents are but doesn't really care during the first book and most of the second. Tristan was rased by kind monks until he reached the age of 15. I also don't like that he doesn't get to meet them.

abonacci4 said...

jbabtiste
I love that series! Did you know that there is another?

abonacci4 said...

jtomlinson
That series is really good.

lrkarstrom3 said...

I am reading Wait 'Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn. I am on page 5. One thing I really like about my book is that it's very detailed. It really helps me get onto the book. One thing that I don't like about my book is that it is very slow. Usually slow books lose my attention fast and I stop reading them.:(

lrkarstrom3 said...

@tfowler,
The best way to get over a long book...Go see the movie:)

lrkarstrom3 said...

@twilliams3,
I have never heard of that book....Let me know how it goes!

tkeatley4 said...

ale,

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?! Is that all you pay attention to?

Sosman4 said...

My book is called the outsiders and I am on page 120. I look this book because the main character has a group of friends, and they always stick together no matter what. Like when the main character Ponyboy killed someone and all his friends were there to help him escape the cops. What I don't like in this book are the Soc's they are also a group of friends exept their rich and upper class. They are stuck up and always picking on Ponyboy and his friends.

Sosman4 said...

Rstraub2

Sounds like a good book.

aouellette3 said...

The book I am reading is 'Overboard' by:Elizabeth Fama. I am on page 24. The one thing that i absolutely like about this book is that It's those kinds of scary, mystery books that keep me interested. I am interested and to me it's a total page turner. The one thing i don't like about this book is that it's very slow. Even though It's keeping me interested It's slow at doing it.

aouellette3 said...

kmedero2,
The book you are reading are the kinds of books i like to read. I might look at it!

aouellette3 said...

hfundenburg4,
That book is super popular and I haven't been able to get into it.. but i hope you are!

lbrown4 said...

I am reading "The Clique" by Lisi Harrison. I am currently on page 157. One thing I like about my book is that the words are big on the pages. Which makes it very east to read. One thing I don't like about my book is that it lacks entertainment and doesn't keep my attention very long. And after a while it gets me so annoyed to the point where I will put the book down and won't bother reading it.

lbrown4 said...

sosman4,
Haha I made you pick out that book after we had that long conversation on the floor. I still think that Soda is the cute character in the movie.

lbrown4 said...

llindsey3,
Your book looks very boring when I seen it in your bookbag(don't ask how I got your backpack either.) I hope it's better than how it appears because I should never judge a book by it's cover. :)

cmazza3 said...

I am reading Torment by Lauren Kate. I just finished the book. I really liked the plot behind the book. Everything felt as if it was perfect, I really enjoyed the book. I didn't really like the ending, it left me guessing and wanting the author to create another book. I hope she writes a sequel to this one; both books so far in the series have lived up to my expectations.

cmazza3 said...

kmedero2,
Your book sounds like it would keep you guessing a lot. I hope you enjoy it.

cmazza3 said...

hfundenburg4,
I agree with both your likes and dislikes, it's a good book.

Bwalton2 said...

Kmedero2,
Your book sounds good. I might read it.

gfleck3 said...

The book I am currently reading is I Am Number Four By Pittacus Lore. I am on page 330. One thing I like about my book is that it is full of action and adventure and it isn't boring like most books are. One thing I don't like about it is that it is kind of hard to follow at first. After you read the first few chapters you understand it more.

gfleck3 said...

tfowler3,
Harry Potter rocks!

ale4 said...

lmehan4,
That book sounds decent.

gfleck3 said...

asheehan3,
You read alot of books by that author!

jdelgais3 said...

My book is the sea of trolls and it is by Nancy Farmer. I am on page 25. This book has a lot of interesting parts/characters/themes. My favorite thing about the book is the bard in this book, he is a wizard. He makes a lot of potions and does alot of magician things while Jack( the bards apprentice) is there. My least favorite thing is that the book has a lot of boring parts. It's interesting but it also is slow.

jdelgais3 said...

jbaptiste2,
That book sounds good.

jdelgais3 said...

jtomlinson4,
Is that a good book?

djknowles3 said...

The book Iam resding is called "The Time Machine," written by H.G. Wells. I am on page 156. One thing nthat I really like about my book is that it gives me alot of details.The book describes a native fruit as a blue cottony blob surronded by a layer of gooey seeds and has a light sea blue glow. Once cut open, it reveals a sage color walnut sized seed called a "Glinna." However I don't like how it only has little girls, it doesn't say where all the men and boys are.

djknowles3 said...

tfowler3 Yeah Harry Potter books are really long.

djknowles3 said...

mbooth3, I hate those kind of books, so confusing.

ACepeda3 said...

I like that there is a part one and part two so you can tell the two parts from each other. I dont like that the names are so wierd. like the main charracers name, katness and peeta, It really occwerd for me. the book that I am reading is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I am on page 219.

ACepeda3 said...

jblumer3 said...

I am reading Into the wild. My book is by Sarah Beth Durst and I am on page 89. One thing I like about my book is all the characters. My book is a fantasy so it has a bunch of cool characters. Some of the characters are Rapunzel, Puss-in-Boots, and the grandma witch. One thing I dont like about my book is there are too many problems. Someone gets kidnapped, someone dies, and the wild takes over. There are too many problems for one book.

jblumer3 said...

rstraub2,
Sounds like a good book.

jblumer3 said...

jbaptiste2,
I heard that book was good.

dmcneil3 said...

The book i am is "The secret agent on flight 101". The author is Franklin W. dixon and i am now currently on page 112. one thing i like about my book is that it is mystery. the reason i like mystery is becuase they always make me want to keep reading. One thing i dislike about my book is the lenghth of it but over all it is a good book.

Dmcbroom2 said...

The book i am currently reading is Ella Enchanted. Written by Gail Carson Levine, I am on page 111.
The thing I like the most about the book is that, even thouw I saw the movie before I read the book. The book and the movie are so much like each ether. Everying in the movie and in the book are is discrbe so well.

dmcniel3 said...

rstraub2,
good book

Dmcbroom2 said...

jdelgais3,
Your book sounds awsome!

dmcneil3 said...

jblumer3
That sounds interesting.

Dmcbroom2 said...

cmazza3,
I didnt know that our libary had that book. I heard that book was really good!

ayoung3 said...

The title of my book is Snatched. The authors are Pete Hautman and Mary Logue. I am currently on page 22. One thing i like about my book is that the main character in my book, Alicia, was beat up and it doesn't tell who it is. The reason i like that is because it leaves you wondering. One thing i don't like is how it switches point of views. The reason is because it's kind of confusing, so you have to pay close attention.

ayoung3 said...

JBaptiste2,
What powers does the main character have?

Gcosta3 said...

maximum ride Angel experiment
by:James Patterson
My book is about an expiriment where they turn humans into 99% birds. One thing i really like about this book is that the Character have wings. Th echaracters in the book can also hear peoples thoghts. one thing i really hate is that the erasers took the youngest family member Angel and now they have to go save her.

ayoung3 said...

TFowler3,
Why do you like Harry Potter?

Gcosta3 said...

Rstroub2.....
Wow you dislike fantasy books i love them!

Gcosta3 said...

imehan4.... that sound like and intersting book but not for me!

tirwin3 said...

jbaptiste2
Good job.

The book I currently finished is Derek Stone the 3rd and 4th.The author is Tony Abbott. The part I really like is when Derek's mom tells him who he is. I like that part because everything at that point starts to make since. Why those poems keep popping up in his head and how he got out of the Bayou.

I agree(:

kbennett3 said...

The part i really dont like is when Derek has to translate into other people. When you translate inoto others they have to die

Im currently reading a book called The Haunting of Derek Stone: City of Dead. I realy like this book because its a mistery and it actually makes me want to read. I dislike this book because it has two stories put into one story which makes me confused.

I am reading a mystery book called The Westing Game. one thing I do not like about this book is that it is mystery. Mystery books are okay Im just a fan of Realistic fiction. But what i do like about this bokk is that it has that catch to it that makes you want to read it more and read it faster. I really like the fact that the whole plot is like a reallity show, eliminating suspects one by one until the find the true killer.

Kbennett3,

The book I am reading is Avalon High by Meg Cabot. I am on page 124. I like this book because it is very descriptive and I enjoy that. What I really hate is it is very unrealistic. It it meant to be realistic but it really fails in that.

rstraub2,
That book seems good

jbaptiste2,

I am reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling. I am on page 623. One specific thing I really like about this book is that at the end of each chapter the author, J. K. Rowling, leaves you hanging. She purposly makes one chapter suspenseful with a lot of information crammed into it and by the end of the chapter she just sort of drops off her writing. One thing I really don't enjoy in my book is that J. K. Rowling doesn't give a good description of any characters besides Harry. She says the names of all of the characters but only goes into description about Harry, Ron, and Hermoine. Although, she doesn't do a great job of describing some of the minor characters I still really enjoy this book and I have a fairly vivid and accurate picture in my head of what all of the characters look like because I have seen the movie based off this book before.

9th grade slays by heather brewer and page 128. i really like how the story is so different then all the other books i read and it keeps u guessing on whats going to happen the whole time. there are a lot of surprises you wouldnt of guess of.like once vlad liked this girl for the lontgest time and you wouldnt think she liked him back but she did. another time when this kid took a picture and u would never thought he would even have interest in one of the most unpopular kids at school.i dont have one flaw of the book .

SMOUSHEY04 said...

jtomolinson4 totally understand it was like the beggining of eigth grade bites

The number one thing that i like about my book is that takes place in the future in a futuristic version of Italy. The author put a lot of detail and has a lot of cool information that i like so far and i hope i like when i get further into the book.
The thing that i dont like about the book is that is is almost 500 pages long, thats alot of pages. It count as two books and thats ok but over all i think its going to be a good book. It may seem like that books can never to much detail but all of the details that the author gives is what makes the book so long.

I am reading a book called "The Return Of The King" made by J. R. R. TOLKIEN, and I'm on the current page 21.

I like about this book is the Dark lord Sauron swarmed out to conquer all middle-earth, mean while Frodo and Sam struggled deep into mordor, seat of Sauron's power.To defeat the Dark Lord, accursed Ring of power had to be destroyed in the fires of mount doom.

And Basically I don't really hate anything about this story but yea which I disliked was the way it been impossibly hard for them, Ring of power had to be destroyed in the fires of mount doom, and Frodo was weakening.

The book I am currently reading is how I Nicky Flynn got a life And a Dog by Art Corriveau. I am currently on page 181. One thing I like about the book is people can relate too it. One thing I don’t like about the book is how long the book is.

rstraub2
cool book

ive read that book

aadusiaw3 said...

I am reading Harriet the spy. the author is Louise Fitzhugh. I am currently on page 30. The thing I really like about the book is the main character Harriet M. Welsh. She is out of the ordinary and just different than everyone else. She thinks she's a spy and she uses her imagination a lot. The thing I dislike so far is how Harriet writes bad things about people in her notebook. She keeps a notebook just for that. I really disliked that.

I am reading the book Bluford High: A Matter of Trust. It's by Anne Schraff and I am on page 41. One thing I like about this book is that it is really descriptive. It tells everything that the characters are feeling and what happens next. I don't like how it is very dramatic every page.

Jdean4 said...

the book i am reading is called Fat Kid Rules The World by K.L. Going.I am on page 31.One thing i really like about my book is that it has some humor in it.One thing i don't like about it is that it has way too many chapters.

djohns2 said...

The book I am reading is The Ghost Sister. I am on page 37. I really like this book because it involves ghost and hauntings. I really don't like this book because in the beggining takes so long to get interesting. But after around page 13, it starts getting really good!

djohns2 said...

@rstraub

Do you like that book?

djohns2 said...

@Amonari

I have never heard of that book before, sounds interesting though!

Nfrank2 said...

The book I am reading is Dairy Queen, the author is Catherine Gilbert Murdock. I am on page 50. One thing I do not like about my book is it can be a little bit confusing the way the book is written. In some parts it will skip to the next week or a couple months later, it makes it confusing. One thing I like about the book is it makes it seem like it really happened, and there is alot of things that can happen in one chapter. It makes me want to keep on reading it.

My book is called Theater Shoes by Noel Streatfeild. I'm on page 58. One thing i really like about this book is how the three main characters/brothers and sister are dealing with so much drama with there grandmother who doesn't speak to them very often. One thing I dont like about it is the lack of details. This book is kind of plain without details.

eblasberg2 said...

bwalton2,
that book sounds really good

eblasberg2 said...

kbroome4,
im wondering if you like the book?

mcannon3 said...

The book I am reading is called New Moon. It's by Stephanie Meyers and I just finished the book. The thing I like most about the book is how Edward just left Bella and left you hanging. I also like the romance between Jacob and Bella. What I didn't like about the book was how basically the entire book was a soap opera. There weren't many surprises or super exciting parts.

mcannon3 said...

tfowler3,

To be honest, I don't like those books, but you make them sound read-able. (:

The book i am reading is called the Vietnam War. There is now author. I am on page 176. ONe thing i like about this book is that it is telling us about a big war that we had with veitnam. the reason i like this is becuase i like military stuff. One thing i dislike about this book is that they talk about how the people were agianst the war. I dont think it was right for them to do that.

cmartin2 said...

Jbaptiste, good reasons

I am reading Ninth Grade Slays by Hether Brewer and i am on page 187.

One specific thing I really liked in my book was the humor between Henry and Vlad. They liked to make fun of Vlad being a vampire.

One specific thing I really didnt like about the book was it was some-what similar to the first book. I wish they shook things up a little.
