The Book that i am reading is called the loveley bones by Allison Sebold. And i am currently on page 275. The One thing that is very realistic about this book is when the main character 'susie Salmon' Got kidnapped raped and killed because that could actually really happen in real life. But the part in the book that is very unrealistic is when Susie Salmon brings her soul to Ruth who is now going out with susies highschool crush and basically becomes ruth.

cmartin said...

The author of my book is mike lupica. The book name is hero.I am on page 249.I think my book is realistic because it deals with CIA types of things also it has to do with the navy.Like the ones who caputured osama bin ladin.Also he is a super smart kid that is like 15 years of age that was in the navy and in the CIA.Also the book features the New York Knicks that is a real NBA team

ccastillo2 said...

ccastillo2 said...

cmartin2, its does sound realistic

kmedero2 said...

The book I am currently reading is called Frindle. The author of the book is Andrew Clements. I am currently on page 40. The thing I think is realistic about my book is that there is a kid trying to invent something they think would be cool. Something unrealistic is that this kid becomes all popular because of it.

jfuentes3 said...

My book is Bad***, by Ben Thompson. My book isnt all that realistic, since its biographies on famous people from legends, fairytales, ect. It might sound stupid, but actually, its one of the greatest books i've ever read. Whats unrealistic is the entire book. I mean, its a book dedicated to the most well known and infamous fiction characters, including, but not limited to; Darth Vader, Beowulf, and Moby Dick. Every one know that these three dont exist, although it does include real life encounters with giant, angry sperm whales in the Moby Dick chapter.

jfuentes3 said...

@esmith2

that sounds amazing.

jfuentes3 said...

@ccastillo2

I love that book.

jbills3 said...

My book is The Prophet of Yonwood. Jeanne DuPrau is the author. I dislike my book to a high degree. I'm on like page 30 or something I left it at home. Something realistic: They are humans who talk and live on planet earth. Something unrealistic: The apocalypse or something that forced everyone to live in little societies and stuff.

jbills3 said...

@jfuentes3

I love the book Bada5s.
I really want to read it when you are finished. Have a nice day sir :)

jbills3 said...

~esmith2

You are a god. That is freaking amazing.

jdelgais3 said...

The book I'm reading is BadAs*. It is by Ben Thompson. I am on page 18. Well my book is all realistic because it talks about the history of people and what they did such as Leonidus and how he was a spartan who was raised to kill and fight. There is nothing in my book that is really unrealistic.

jdelgais3 said...

jfuentes,
Jbills3,
Why are you reading a girls book?

kmedero2 said...

amonari2,
That sounds like a good book.

bclark3 said...

My book is the boy in the samurai by Erik Christian Haugaard. Im on page 25. The most realistic part of my book is the characters in the book. They all have their specific persanalities like real people. An example would be aya-san who takes care of the main character Saru for money. This is like a modern day babysitter. The most unrealistic thing about my book is the touch of magic that is in the book. Its not like a fairy tale though. An example of the magic would be the legendary samurai sword.

jbills3 said...

~jdelgais3

MAYBE BECAUSE I LIKE IT.

Nah, I thought it was a guys book (Note the nuclear bomb on the front cover) and then I started reading it :(

Don't feel like getting a new one.

kmedero2 said...

ccastillo2,
That sounds like an interesting book.

jdelgais3 said...

jdelgais3

i didnt mean to put jfuentes
ps your a cool guy

lrkarstrom3 said...

I am reading Malka by Mirjam Pressler. I am on page 5.
Something realistic about my book is the character herself. The book's setting and events are real but there was never a girl named Malka.
Something unrealistic about my book is the events that take place. My book is Historical Fiction so the setting is real. The setting in this book is in Germany, Since my book is about WW2.

jdelgais3 said...

esmith2,
sounds interesting

bclark3 said...

amonari2, The movie of that book is really creepy but also suspensful. I wonder if the movie and the book are similar?

cmazza3 said...

I am currently reading The Dragon of Lonely Island. The author is Rebecca Rupp. I am currently on page 34. I think that the house on the island could be realistic, but there is a 3 headed dragon on the island which is not realistic. The mom and her kids moved to the island and the kids went exploring and discovered a dragon.

cmazza3 said...

Lanie,
Your book sounds interesting. Tell me about it sometime.. or not.. I don't care.

cmazza3 said...

Amber,
Your book sounds cool. I think I read it one time.

bclark3 said...

esmith2, very interesting eric. I might want to read that book.

crawls3 said...

The name of the book i am reading is Elephant Run. The author is Roland Smith. I am on page 47. I think the realistic part of this book is that it is based in 1941,London when the Germans were bombing London. The unrealistic part of this is probably thefact that of all the trouble the main character is in he so far has only been harmed by an elephant.

mbooth3 said...

My book is Night by Elie Wiesel. I am currently on page 110. What is realistic about my book is the experiences and emotions the Jews had during WWII. My book is a true account of the life of Elie Wiesel during WWII. What was unrealistic (more unbelievable) was how harsh the Nazi's treated the Jews in the concentration camps. It was really sad to have to read about the cruel and inhumane experiences the Jews had to go through.

edavis04 said...

the book i am reading is called "What Goes Around" by denene millner and mitzi miller. i am on page 92. In my book i think it is realistic how family can set family up and act like it never happened. I think that because family will go against eachother until one of them wins. They will do bad things to eachother to get eachother in alot of trouble. I think it is unrealistic that a teenager can buy a prepaid phone and not get caught using it at home. I think that because while you're using your prepaid phone your mom or dad could walk in your room and catch you using it.

Rjames4 said...

I am reading the red pyramid by Rick Riordan. I am on page 86. One thing in my book that is realistic is the main characters being taken care of by their uncle. One non-realistic thing about my book is basically everything. There are no egyptian gods.

Rjames said...

@esmith never heard of it but it seems pretty kool

Rjames4 said...

@Ccastillo2 seems pretty decent

cadero williams said...

The book i am reading is called diary of a wimpy kid the last straw by jeff kinny.I just finished the book yesterday.One thing that is realistic is a younger brother getting tired of getting pranked by his older brother. One thing that is not realistic is a parent always checking the ratings for a game his son buys.

TLand4 said...

The book I am reading is called "The Thief Lord" by Cornelia Funke. I am on page 46. I think that people stealing thigns is very realistic in this book because people steal stuff all the time in the world. I think that the part where there just so happens to be a spare home is unrealistic. Because there is never a random clean home.

TLand4 said...

Robert,

That is a good book.

Rjames4 said...

@Tland4 I swear if you don't stop squeaking

TLand4 said...

Eric,

Sounds interesting.

tkeatley4 said...

My book is "Sent" by Margaret Haddix. I'm on page 96. The realistic part of my book is the history because all of the things that happens while they're in the past is actual history.Just like one of the characters is the king of England, and there was a king HenryIII. The unrealistic part is that the people go around in a time machine! We don't have the technology in this age to do that yet.

kyoung2 said...

My book as you know by now is really cool. Is about young high-school drop out who is a rock star and uses alot of explicit language.
The realistic thing about my book is the setting in New York City,NY.
The unrealistic thing about it is the way the old rock star acts i mean he goes to the bathroom every other minute when he eats. The book i am reading is fat kid who rules the world. I am page 15. the author G.L. Going.

kyoung2 said...

amonari2,
whoa thats extreme

kyoung2 said...

cmartin2,
I love navy seals

lmehan4 said...

The book I am reading is Toby Wheeler Eighth grade benchwarmer. The author is Thatcher Heldring and I am on page 10. I think the most realistic thing in my book is Toby who is always wanting to be the star basketball player is always benched. This happens in real-life all the time. I think the most unrealistic thing in my book is there is a list on the first page about benchwarmers and some of the facts are not true.

lmehan4 said...

jfuentes3,
I heard that is a good book.

lmehan4 said...

amonari2,
That is a good movie!

tfowler3 said...

The book I am reading is The Lightning Thief By Rick Riordan. I am on page 203. This book is very very unrealistic because it has greek gods and mythical creatures like demons and goat people. One part that is realistic is when they are on a bus and the bus breaks down because that actually happens.

sdeemer2 said...

I am reading The Last Holiday Concert by Andrew Clememts. I am on page 131. Something that is realistic in my book is that they have to perform a concert in a couple days. They aren’t ready because they are still trying to pick out the songs for the concert. Something that is unrealistic in my book is that maybe that the teacher would be teaching mot the student in the class. The principal has walked by the room before but hasn’t said anything. I think that, that is unrealistic on some way.

sdeemer2 said...

tfowler3,
Is that a good book?

sdeemer2 said...

mbooth3,
Sounds interesting...

aquest4 said...

I am reading Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer. I am on page 200. I'm not going to lie...I really hate this book. It's realistic in the fact that it includes..some humans? I guess that's about it. Aside from the whole Bella giving birth to a vampire baby which is completely realistic right? Yeah. It's unrealistic because it includes two guys liking one girl with the most boring personality ever. Oh yeah and there's werewolves but I find the other reason more unrealistic.

aquest4 said...

amonari2,

That's a movie isn't it?

aquest4 said...

esmith2,

A toxic virus out of a computer? I guess that's a new one.

Twilliams03 said...

TITLE:CHARLIE BONE SERIES
AUTHIOR:JENNY NIMMO
PAGE:100-200
I think the setting in my book is very realistic because it is basically a small town with not alot going on. I think the characters in my book are unrealistsic, I mean there is no one in he world that can turn uinto any type of specie of bird or can control the weather and other crazy things.I think my book is unrealistic because there is no possible way that anyone can travel into a painting. i alos think my book is very unrealistic because it is proven that no one can where someone else clothing feel the emotion that person had when they were wearing those clothes.I also think my book is very unrealistic because there is no person whowill ever be able to control the seas and drown someone with out water its just not possible. I also think that my book is unrealistic because there is no possible way that trolls,goblins, or other creepy things exist.I do think my book is realistic when it comes to people dying ad being imprissoned.

Twilliams03 said...

amonar2, your boo sounds realy interesting.I hope you enjoy the rest of it.

Twilliams03 said...

esmith2, your book sounds really interesting.I hope you njoy the rest of it.

EKeck04 said...

I am reading The Beggar King and the Secret of Happiness by Joel ben Izzy. I'm on page 165. This book makes me want to believe it is real only because on the cover it says "A True Story." Other than those words I don't think I would trust this book to be non-fiction. The thing that makes me think it's fake is that the main character, Joel, is pretty much being eaten alive with bad occurences. First he looses his voice, then it becomes permanent, next, his new wife starts drifting away from him, his mom dies, and he finds out he has cancer! I can't even imagine what I would do if things came crashing down on me like that.

EKeck04 said...

amonari2
I was supposed to read that book when it came out. I never got around to it.

EKeck04 said...

Jfuentes3
Didn't you read that book last year? Haha I really need to read it.

jblumer3 said...

The book I am reading is The Last Song. The author is Nicholas Sparks and i am on page 475. I think the summmer love thing is real in my book. Ronnie falls for Will and they have to go there seperate ways which is what happens a lot in real life. An unrealistic thing in my book is her dad not telling her that he was sick. Any dad would warn there child they had cancer and were going to die.

jblumer3 said...

amonari2,
I love that book.

jblumer3 said...

kmedero2,
That book sounds good.

amonari2 said...

kmedero2,
that sounds like a very cool book i think it might be also for me to read because it seems like the kinda book i would like

bwagner2 said...

The book I am reading is the black duck writen by Janet Taylor. Im on page 78. I think the part with the dead guy was realistic on how he died because he got shot in the neck. Thats a real way to die. I think the part is unrealistic when the dead body disepears after a day and one of the people who lived on the beach didint hear a plane or anything. Also he saw the body.

bwagner2 said...

kyoung2, Is that a good book?

bwagner2 said...

sdeemer2, Is that a good book?

mbooth3 said...

jblumer3,
I don't think I would want to know if my dad had cancer. I would probably go into denile and depression.

tadams3 said...

the book i am reading is called black stallion. i am reading this book because i read it along time ago and i think i remember that it was pretty good. it is by something farley i think. im on pge 100 something. its realistic because horses are real. its unrealisti because after gettin drag around by a horse and ran over and beat up by a horse yu would probably die. but the main character is still alive. i dont know why.

mbooth3 said...

cmartin,
What is unrealistic about the Navy SEALs?

aadusiaw3 said...

I am reading Vladimir Todd: Ninth Grade Slays. The author is Heather Brewer and I am on page 182. What I think is realistic about this book is The fact that Vladimir gets bullied and he doesn't tell. Most people who get bullied in real life don't tell anyone either. So I thought that part realated to the real world a lot. What I think is unrealistic is the fact that he is a vampire. I mean there is no such thing as a vampire.

tadams3 said...

amonari2, sounds like a pretty good book.

aadusiaw3 said...

amonari2
I have heard that book is so good

tadams3 said...

esmith2, sounds pretty good

aadusiaw3 said...

esmith2
Thatg sounds like a weird book

ebowers4 said...

Mothers & Other Liars. I am on page 177.

One thing i thought realistic in my book is the love a mother and daughter share. I think all mothers and daughters have the same love/hate relationship they heve in the book.

One thing I found unrealistic in this book was the fact that when Ruby told her daughter that she was kidnapped as a baby, Lark was totaly cool with it. I think that if my mom told me that i would react differently.

kfundenburg4 said...

amonari2,
I love that movie!

kfundenburg4 said...

esmith2,
That sounds like an awesome!

mcannon3 said...

amonari2,
I really want to read that book.

mcannon3 said...

The book I am reading is called Vladimir Tod, Tenth Grade Slays. I am on page 190. The author of my book is Heather Brewer. I think the realistic thing about this book is that Vlad gets bullied in high school just like every other ordinary teenager. One thing that is unrealistic is that Vlad is a vampire, and he's not the only vampire in the book.

mcannon3 said...

cmazza3,
I've never heard of that book but it seems pretty good.

mogarro2 said...

The book I am currently reading is The Women of Ivy Manor,and I'm currently on page 200. Th realistic part about this book is how the leigh (The main character) was born without a father, and her falling in love with a boy but doesnt ever really tell him. An unrealistic part is how pretty much every girl in this book has a step-father and and all end up the same way. Not marrying the ones they love, and moving on into a more "independant" path. Its unrealistic to me because it doesnt mae sense how all these girls with personalities and dreams have the same exact life.

mogarro2 said...

@aadusiaw
True. Obviously vampires aren't real.

eblasberg2 said...

The book I'm reading is called Dancer. By Lorri Hewett. I'm on page 139. The realistic thing in my book is that she is a black ballerina with a dream of being a professional one day. The unrealistic part is that nobody believes she can do it exept for Mrs. Winnie, her teacher. For example one moment in the book her and her dad were talking about colleges and he kept pushing her to go to college instead of be a ballerina. Which proves that he doesnt all that much believe in her. Or he probably thinks she doesnt have the talent.

KBroome04 said...

The book I am reading is called Wicked by Gregory Macguire. I am on page 124. The one thing that is realistic about my book is that the girls have to go to school. Everything else about this book is VERY unrealistic. This book is the story of the Wicked Witch from the Wizard Of Oz. There is no such place as Oz and people are not green. Also animals do not speak. Also when your in high school i do not believe one of your options is to study the arts of wizardry. If that was a job i'm sure we would all pick it though.

KBroome04 said...

amonari2
I cried in that book...

eblasberg2 said...

mogarro2,
That sounds like a very interesting book.

KBroome04 said...

jfuentes3
Sounds pretty cool.

eblasberg2 said...

kbroome4,
I love that book.

tanzina2 said...

The book That I'm reading is called "The Giver". Author of this book is Lois Lowry. I am currently on page 150. The thing which was realistic was about Jones Mom's wedding ceremony. The thing which was the most often made me feel unrealistic was Jones frightened December. Sickening feeling of something terrible might happen.Frightend was the way he felt a year ago when an unidentified aircraft had overflown the community twice.

tanzina2 said...

amonari2,
Nice book.

tanzina2 said...

esmith2,
thats a good book.

jtomlinson4 said...

amonari2: Did they make a movie of that?


esmith2: Is that a good book?

jtomlinson4 said...

The book I am reading is Summer Ball by Mike Lupica. I am on page 131; the most realistic part of my book is where the main character Danny Walter is the smallest and he doesn’t think he will go anywhere in basketball. The most unrealistic part is where they say he is the best basketball play on the team even though he is half the size of the rest of the players. I don’t believe this because that doesn’t seem right, I don’t believe that this could really happen because I play basketball and that doesn’t normally happen.

tkeatley4 said...

aquest,

I really agree on the hate part. Many people would debate over it though. The actress really got the "boring" part down.

tkeatley4 said...

jbills,

Aren't prophets supposed to bring good endings?

djohns2 said...

The book I am reading is the boy who dared, the author is Susan Bartoletti. I am on page 164. Everything is realistic in my book. all of the deaths, and all of the torture the Nazi's put the Jews through is all true. Nothing is unrealistic in my book.

hfundenburg4 said...

My book is called Speak. The author is Laurie Halse Anderson and I am onpage 161. One thing that is realistic in my book is that Melinda, the main character, gets raped going into her freshman year of high school. This is realistic because it could happen to anyone. My book isn't really unrealistic because it was based off a true story, so everything that happened in the book could happen in real life.

hfundenburg4 said...

amonari2,
I watched the movie and I thought it was pretty good.

hfundenburg4 said...

ebowers4,
That sounds like a good book.

skim4 said...

The book I am reading is called The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. I am on page 140. The realistic thing in this book is that Andrew Ketterley is a wizard. But people in real world like his family and neighbors think that he is crazy. And don't let children come around him. The unrealistic thing in this book is that Andrew Ketterley made magic rings which can lead children to another world so Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer go to Narnia. What? Another world? Is it possible? And one more thing though Digory's mom has a incurable disease the apple from Narnia makes har healthy. How surprise!!

skim4 said...

amonari2, I totally agree with your thoughts

skim4 said...

tkeatley4, I think maybe sooner or later scientists could make a time machine.

Rstraub2 said...

I am reading a book called "This place has no atmosphere" by Palila Danziger. I am on page 68. One thing that is unrealistic in this book is that her family is moving to live on the moon. The reason it is unrealistic is because no one can really live on the moon. One think that is realistic is the fact that she loves this guy so much she would do anything for him. The reason is realistic is because when girls find someone they really like they would do anything to have him or see him. That is what this girl does in the book. She always finds her self something bad to do.

Rstraub2 said...

esmith2,
Sounds like a good book...enjoy it:)


kmedero2,
Sounds like a crazy book...enjoy it:)

Gcosta3 said...

The book I'm reading is The Doom That Came To Sarnath by H.P. Love Craft. I'm on page 57.in my book there is no main character it just describes the horrific demonic hardships that the people in Sarnath heve seen. The realistic part of my book is when the shiarno family tries to word off demons by performing a seance because I would want to ward off evil. The unrealistic part of it is that the entire city was being haunted. The scary part is that all of the hauntings have been especially active at 3:00 am the total complete oppiset time of Jesus death at 3:00 pm which makes sense because it's a hounting. Another scary part is that the entire city is a cemetery with dead bodies buried everywhere. This book is really creepy and scary.

Gcosta3 said...

Rstraub2...
It is unrealistic that there going to live on the moon.

Gcosta3 said...

Bwagner2...
That's prettycreepy that the guy got shot.

jwang4 said...

The book i am reading is Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I am just done with the book. I think that the plot is unrealistic. People do not really think a girl can kill the president. Something that i think is realistic is the setting. It does seem possible in a couple of decades that we could end up sustaining life underground.

abonacci4 said...

I am currently reading The Last Apprentice Series and I'm on the third book which is called Night of the Soul Stealer. The author of this series is Joseph Delaney. I am on page 467 of 489 pages, and will most likely finish the book today and the series by the 20th. (I think there are six books in the series.) One realistic thing in my book is that there can be a seventh son of a seventh son, and also daughters included. But it is unrealistic that they have any special powers that a second daughter of a second daghter doesn't have, or anything else like the first son of the first son. So don't get jealous!!!

jwang4 said...

ccastillo2, sounds like an good book

abonacci4 said...

jwang
That book was so good and bad at the same time!

abonacci4 said...

esmith2
I am in love with that series!
If you enjoyed the book you should enjoy the movie!!!

jwang4 said...

esmith2,
your book sounds realy interesting.

scrossley4 said...

The book I am reading is Billy Creekmore and I am on page 18. I think there is many relistic things in my book. One of them is a boy named Billy becoming a orphan because his mom died and his dad left. I alos believe that the boys that live in the orphange is being treated bad. I think the unrealistic thing is Billy, is asked if he can see ghost. I dont think you would be able to see ghost just because your mom died right after you was born and another unrealistic is Billy saying big words as soon as he was born.

scrossley4 said...

Amonri2, I never knew the lovely bones was a book. I saw the movie, some of what you describe sounds like it but some parts dont. I do remember her dying and she going in her crushes girl boby.

scrossley4 said...

Es,ith2, your book sounds interesting and very scientific. Is your book Scientifc fiction.

gwest4 said...

In my book "A Tale of Two Cities," by Charles Dickens has both realistic part to it and unrealistic parts to it too. First let me start out with talking about the realistic parts this book takes on in the time period of the French revelation, and for that and we can prove because the French revelation was real. As to every book there are unrealistic elements to, even though the French revelation was like are revelation it is impossible for all the weapons need all the people needed to be informed trained and prepared like in the book without the government knowing about it. Plus if the Government was that tradable would have you started a revelation in Franc earlier then the American revelation, and if you did would you worry about helping the U.S if you government was that corrupted by wealth. These are some of the realistic things I found about this book and some of the unrealistic things too.

I'm on page# 217/238

gwest4 said...

jwang4
Good job on finishing the book, two thing aout your book I'm mean if this gril could get the president alone with her for at least five mintues the the president could be killed by this girl.

asheehan3 said...

My book is "The Quickie". The author is James Patterson and I'm on page 112. What is realistic about my book is that your husband could kill your best friend. In my book, the main character was sleeping over at her friend's house but he has to leave to go get some food. When he walked outside the main characters husband beat him and killed him. What is unrealistic about my book is that if your husband killed your best friend and you say it, you would turn him in, or act like you know something. But the main character didn't. She acted like she knew nothing. The main character, Lauren Stillwell, saw her husband, Paul, cheating on her. She didn't know what to do so she slept over at her best friend, Scott's house. When he left Lauren's husband attacked Scott and killed him. There are realistic and unrealistic parts in this book.

asheehan3 said...

Twilliams03,
I agree about the unrealistic part!!!

asheehan3 said...

jblumer3,
I love that book!

djohns2 said...

@amonari2

I saw the movie of that book!

djohns2 said...

@esmith2

Your book sounds...... cool?

O_O

bwalton2 said...

The book I just finished reading is called The Boy Who Spoke Dog by Clay Morgan. I think my book is realistic because a boy loves dogs. Dogs are like his best friends. The unrealistic thing to me is that he can speak dog. I don't know how he can talk to the dogs. I don't know one person or have ever heard of a person who can speak dog.

bwalton2 said...

amonari2,
That sounds extremely realistic.

bwalton2 said...

jblumer3,
Where'd you get your book? I wanna read it some time. :)

djknowles3 said...

The book I am reading is the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Written by J.R.R Tolkien, I have finished the book but I am going over the book for facts for projects. Something in my book that is realistic is how there are 3 different races and 1 other that is trying to rule. Back then the americans, french and spanish worked together to fight the British. Just like the dwarfs, elves and men fighting orcs. However something unrealistic is how there are dragons and squids the size of a house, unless I'm crazy, I think we don't have those things.

djknowles3 said...

mbooth3, Good book.

djknowles3 said...

gcoasta3, That is unrealistic.

kbennett3 said...

The book I currently finished is Bluford High: The bully. The author is Paul. I don't think any thing in the book is unrealistic. I think the whole book is is realistic. I think that because moving to a new state, school and being bullied can happen to anybody.

kbennett3 said...

amonari2 said
that's sad it happened to her

kbennett3 said...

edavis04

The book i am currently reading is Cracker: The best dog in vietnam by Cynthia Kadohata. I am on page 132, in my book i think when the dog Cracker is at his orignal home and gets sent away to go work in veitnam to help the people find the dead or wounded bodies is realistic because thats what real police dogs do. So far in my story there is nothing unrealistic because everything that happened in the story so far happened or can happen in real life.

the book i am reaing is Dairy of a Wimpy Kid the Final Straw by Jeff kinney. I am on page 120 something. I think that most of my book is realistic Greg the main characters problems are realistic. He has lots of school work, he doesn't want to play on the soccer team, he also has girl troubles. One thing that is unrealistic is how easy Greg tricks his parents and his teachers. He comes up with the dumbest and simplest plans to try and stay out of trouble and they actually work.

The movie series is very cool.

Kiss Me, Kill Me by Allison Brennan and I'm on page 8 because I just started it.
What is realistic about my book is tha tit has crimes that are committed everyday and it involces the FBI and this young women who was raped and held against her will. Both of these things happen everyday, somewhere it's probably happening right now. I don't think there is anything in my book that is unrealistic, but I would say that the girl Lucy, has a job as an undercover teenager to attract predators and "suppodedly" it's her ticket to becoming apart of the FBI.

The book i was reading was dedication. I think it could be realistic because when Katy was in High School, she date this guy that turned into a singer when they grew up and singing about her. But then again i think its unrealistic because theres like a one in a million chance of that happening and then they get back together when he could have any girl in the world.

I've heard of that book but never read it.

amonari2,
Have you ever seen the movie. It's a creepy movie, but it helps you appreciate the little things in life and teaches you to be more aware of your surroundings.

amonari2
that seems like a good book. Do you like it?

lbrown4 said...

jdean4,
You spelled "diary" wrong and I read the first book and it's actually a good series.

i heard that book is good. What else isnt realistic?

hcormack4 said...

I am reading Cirque Du Freak. The author is Darren Shan. I am on page 60. In my book the only thing that is realistic is the characters reactions to the antagonist. When the evil antagonist snaps an innocent snake-boys neck, thus killing him they grieve and seek revenge. Most of the things in this book are unrealistic, such as Vampires and Vampaneze are fighting and the Lord of the Shadows is going to almost eliminate humanity.

~Amonari2,
That sounds creepy, where can I get it?

hcormack4 said...

~Jfuentes3
That seems very different,but also interesting, i hope you enjoy reading it.

I am reading Nightmare by Willo Davis Roberts. Also I am currently on page 192. Well in my book it explains how the main character is afraid, and paranoid after someone broke into his house and shot his dog. Yet after some random person fall on top of his car dead he feels no problems or anything for sometime, and I do not get how someone can be like that. However it is believable that he is somewhat freaked out when he starts hearing stuff that aren't there, it kind of crazy what he thinks.

Droller4 said...

C martin sounds cool.

J bills sounds interesting.

The book I am reading is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
By J.K. Rowling and I am on page 233.
In this book there aren't any realistic things because it is about wizardry. A lot of things are unrealistic about this book though like the fact that there are wizards and witches in it. Also the setting is a magical school. Plus each student has their own wand to practice magic with.

tfowler3,
I liked the book and the movie.

gfleck3 said...

hcormack4,
I didn't really like that series.

Kfundenburg4 said...

The book I am currently reading is called Scat. The author is Carl Hiaasen. I am on page 21. A realistic thing in my book is that there is one kid in a class full of students that is "stupid" or not well educated. Because most schools have a couple of students who are troubled or dumb. Also, the unrealistic thing in my book is that a student would threaten a teacher and bite off the teacher’s pencil that is right in the teacher's hand. I mean come on; a student would never bite the teacher's pencil off and eat it!

The book I am reading is Wizards of the Game. I am currently on page 112. the Realistic things in my book is that Michelle's mom is Very over protective! She doesn't let her go anywhere,she has to sneak out of the back window just to see her friends at night. The un-realistic things in the book is all the wizard stuff that goes on in the book. Its really weird because its this 400 year old wizard that lives in a cave and he really does seem like he is just evil!

DmcBroom2 said...

amonari2,
That seems very scary!

DmcBroom2 said...

cmartin,
Why do you think that reading about the Navy Seals is interesting?

nreed2 said...

The book i am reading is called Stormbreaker by Anthony Howoitz.
The realistic part of this book is the fact that there are spys that do those cool missions and stuff.
Most of the book is real. So thir aren't very many part that aren't realistic. Theirs thing like evil scientists that try to kill people with a deadly gas and kill people with guns.

nreed2 said...

To amonari
Theres a movie about that book.

nreed2 said...

To esmith
You stole my book!

dmcneil3 said...

The book I am currently reading is "The Great Airport Mystery". I am on page 151 and the author is Franklin W. Dixon. The crime in my story is realistic in how it occures but how the hardy boy catch the thief is unrealistic. In my book the theif steal an acient artifact. The way the hardy boys catch the theif is by tracing his footprints.

dmcneil3 said...

amonari2,
Is that a good movie

dmcneil3 said...

esmith2,
Is it a good book

llindsey3 said...

Hmmm... The book i am currently reading is called tears of a tiger by Sharon M Draper. I have already finished reading the book because i became very interested in it. It has 192 pages. The realistic part of this book i think honestly is the whole book. I say that because Andy one of the main characters was basically in charge of his friend dying because he decided he was going to drink and drive after winning their championship game. I say that that is realistic because most of the time after you win something you celebrate and most dumb teens drink and drive. Something I think that is unrealislist is that the little boy Andy's brother actually went to the gravesite after andy died wrote him a letter and cried. I know it is realistic but it's so sad that in my heart i hope that no little boy will have to go to their older brother's gravesite because their brother commited suscide.

My book is Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy. I just finshed the book and it was great. The book was a biography on Tony Dungy's life and how he loves football. Everything is real in this book since its a biography. Nothing is unrealistic. The book tells about the problems he has run into including his biggest one where his son commits suicide.

The book I am reading is rich dad poor dad. I am currently done with this book. The author that wrote this book is Robert Kiyosaki. Everything in this book is realistic. It talks about his life and how he became fiancialy sucessfull. Something that isen't realistic in this book is that in this economy all commercial buildings aren't assets.
