I am currently reading the book the Trials of Kate Hope by: Wick Downing. I am on page 75. On specific thing I really like about my book is that it gives a lot of detail on what’s happening around the main character. It helps me (the reader) understand more things about Kate and what type of situation she is in. one specific thing I really don’t like about the book is that is has a lot of characters and it is hard to keep track of everything that’s happening with so many characters. It’s also hard when there are a lot of characters to understand the dialogue (who’s speaking).
I am currently reading dairy of a wimpy of wimpy kid I have finished this book the authors name is Jeff Kinney .One specific thing I like about this book is how every thing is order of by seasons and holidays and the school year as it passes and as well as I go through the book .One thing I don’t like that’s specific about this book is that I don’t like how there are so many pictures than there were words they have more pictures than words. But dairy of a wimpy kid is a very great, imaginative book and I think everyone should read it. If u get a chance to try to read them by series they will be more entertaining
I am currently reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I am on page 251.In my book I really like how the author breaks down with details to explain what is going on. For example in my book" the author describes a miscarriage by explaining how there was blood staining the floor and also by saying there was blood in the toilet bowl with a figure laying inside." One specific thing I don't like is the way the book is set up. By this i mean how Kathryn seperates what happend with Skeeter in a chapter. What happened with Aibileen in a chapter. What happend with Minny in a chapter. This makes it confusing for me because it doesnt flow.
@gparent5 great job.
@nbrown5. do u like the book?
My book is Depth Charge, the author is M.Zachary Sherman. I'm on page 35. The one specific thing about my book is, that it's about World War 2. During the fight with the Nazi's. The one thing that i don't like about my book is, ALL the fact that are given about Hitler and his man. I think it should just have the action.
gparent5
you give a good point
AND
nbrown
REALY dairy of a wimpy of wimpy kid is what your read. Never heard of it.
I just started reading "THROUGH MY EYES" by Tim Tebow I am on page 22. One specific thing I like is it is about Tim tebow. My favorite football player and his life. One thing I hats is nothing really ive liked what I read. Wait nevermind I don't like how there is a coauthor.
gparent5
You did a great job.
And
Cwalker5
Wasn't Hitler the cause of World War 2?
The book I am currently reading is called Cinderella Cleaners by Maya Gold. From the 91 pages I have already read I love this book. One reason why I love this book is because it is girly and the two girls are such good friends- Amy has a recital and wants Gracie to fill in for her, but Gracie is really nervous she had only danced one year when she was six. One reason why I dislike this book is because it is taking a long time to get interesting. I hope it starts now.(:
gparent5
oh bye the way my book that you liked is in a series go check out the first one.
BCampbell5
maybe type on a word document first.
I am currently reading Eagle Strike by: Anthony Horowitz. I am on page 296. One specific thing I like about this book is that it keeps you on the edge of your seat, and has a lot of details so you(the reader)can really get a sense of whats happening. One thing I dont really like about it is it switches from one character to another so sometimes its confusing when you start the next chapter then you realize its about a different person so you read it again and it makes more sense.
gparent5
Good job on saying what you like and dont like.

Good job on explaining what you like and dont like. I like the description.
The book Im currently reading is called How Lamar's Bad Prank Won A Bubba - Sized Trophy by: Crystal Allen. Im on page 297. One thing I like about the book is that it revoling around a love story and around a great friendship. One thing I dont like about the book is that the brothers treat each other really bad. But over all this is a very good book
@smwilliams good job on getting your blog in early keep up with the good work
@awilson6 good job with getting your blog in.
But over all this is a very good book.

Ya Hitler is the start of that war.
I'm reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Page 120.
One thing I like about my book is can relate to it. Melinda has too deal with everyday drama such as friends and I can relate to that because i go through drama at school.
One thing i don't like about my book is its very boring and uneventful. I enjoy action and mystery books and my book does not have any of that.
@gparent5
I have always hated books that have too many characters and it gets very irritating.
@nbrown
I have never read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid and that was the reason. I like to visualize in my head what the pictures would be.
I am currently reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I am on page 26. One specific thing I like about this book is that it is just like my other book, talking about survival. I like survival for a book subject. One thing I don't like about this book is that it is very long.

I am currently reading Ghost in the Machine by Patric Carman. I am only on page 15 but it is still pretty good. One thing I really like is that its got allot of scarey parts in it. Something I don't like is the fact he keeps going back in the story, its confusing. He also keeps using the same idea repeatedly about four times.
nbrown5 I liked those books they were really cool and entertaining.
nbrown5 Oh yea but you forgot a period.
the current book im reading is tangerine and it is realistic fiction, im on page 32 and, the book is about a kid named paul and he moved to florida and hes atending a new school were it rains every day at the same time, and he plays soccer and his brother plays football.
Currently I'm reading What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen. I'm on page 106. One thing I like about my book is that, since I've read about 4 other books by Sarah Dessen, I love the way Mclean ( and some of her other characters) see the world. Most of them always see the good in things. The glass is always half full not empty. But one thing I don't like about my book is that it's pretty slow at first. And it takes a while for it to be interesting. Or it would be interesting then go slow and boring and back to interesting.
@ awilson
Awesome! I loved the movie, hope the book is as good
@nhamilton2
sounds like a good book :P
One thing I like about my book is that Dellie tries to help a 6 year old boy named Corey from the neglect his mother does to him. One thing I dislike is that Dellie's mom does not let her leave the house because her little brother Louis died. The name of mt book is "The Trouble With Half A Moon" by Danette Vigilante. I am on page 85. Anybody who loves encouraging kids should read this book.
I am reading the boy on cinnamon street.I am on page 186.The author is pheobe stone.The thing i like about my book is she sets out to go get the boy she has a crush on.The thing i dont like is she is a stalker by following him everywhere.You should read this book.
Nice post @ dsmith5
grenfroe6 good book your reading
Cwalker5
that sounds really cool. :D

i read all those book there, ok.:D
The book that i am reading sharshooter. The author is chris lynch. I am on page 50. The thing i like bout this book i that they are teenagers and bout to go in army to take responsibility. The thing i dont like bout the book is that sometimes it get confusing and i get lost.
kkey2
your book sounds really fun and i think u should let me read it
tcole6
you got a nice book and tell me more bout it
The book I am currently reading is The Maze Runner. The author of this book is James Dashner. I am currently on page 56. What I like about this book is that it is just like the hunger games which I would like to read. What I dislike about this book is that it is a very long book compare to the hunger game.
opanchal5
your book is the same book im reading at the moment.
bcampbell5
i am not a big fan of tim tebow.
@Kkey2 thanks yours is too !
@bcampbell5 You look nice today lol
I am currently reading the book Saint Louis Armstrong Beach by Brenda woods I am on page 27. I love this book it is very realstic about the struggles and a little boy trying to follow his dream and get a prized clorent. I dont have anything bad to say about this book because it is a great book so far with saint trying to raise money for the clorent that he wants so much. He does this by playing musci for the tourists that come thorugh New Orleans.
The book I am reading is Moneyball by Michael Lewis. I am on page 43. The thing i like about this is it's a sports book. If a book has something about sports even if it is a sport i do not like im always intrigued by them. The cover is really simple but it compliments the book really well.
opanchal5: Post your blog once not six times!
nbrown: I dont think we are suppose to read books like that.
I am currently finished reading the book Where I Belong By Gwendolyn Heasley. One specific thing I really like about this book us that it gives us a clear mind of the main character like what she thinks and her feeling. The author also give the book it's own personality, like having a teenage gril's mind. One thing I really don't like about the book is that the book gives you mixed minds. The main character, Corrine just explains her feelings about moving to Texas and then she end up giving you the clear feeling at the end.
gparent5,
I like your post! it's really good!
awilson6,
your post is really good!
I am currently reading Myths,Lies,And Downright Stupidity by John Stossel. It is non-fiction.One thing i really like about my book is that it tells you the truth about lies you've been hearing for years. one thing i don't like is that it tells you the truth about lies you've been hearing for years.
nbrow5
thats a good book

nice post,
I am currently reading The Da Vinci Code by: Dan Brown. I am on page 50. One specific thing I like about my book is that theres always secrets. like 1 part theres a secret hallway like 5 miles long underground. The entrance is hadden behind a wall. A reason why I dislike the book is that its hard to understand it sometimes. like it would say 5414 nw luxenburgh avenue, and it talks about a preist but befor that robert and fache are still in the hidden hall underground. but there apparently in the building with the priest.
I currently finished Showoff by Gordon Korman. And the one specific thing I liked about this book is that it doesn't just stay in one area. It has multiple settings. The one thing I don't like about this book is that it gets to detailed some times. And changes places in the story often.
@gparent5 great post
@ jphan2 I liked your post
I am on page one hundred of Warriors 'The New Prophecy': Midnight by Erin Hunter . One thing I love about this book is that is from a different perspective. It is from a cats perspective rather than a humans pespective. One thing I dont like about this book is that the main character changed and now there is about three main characters . The last book had just one cat as the main character.

The book I'm reading is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I just finished the book. One specific thing I liked about my book is that it didn't go into too much detail. One specific thing I didn’t like about my book is that it was really sad. It talked a lot about death because the main characters had cancer.
gparent5
Good blog.
grenfroe6
There is capitalization problems in you blog.
I am currently reading the book found it is part of a series. I am on page 200 and this book is wrote by Margaret Peterson. The good thing about this book is that the author puts lots of detail in the book, so that you get a good idea of what is going on. She also has a lot of clues leading the suspense up a lot in this book, so that you can put the book down you have to keep on reading. The bad part about this book is that it gets really confusing and you cant tell what is going on.
ccummings5 That was 2 great comments.
gparnet5 that was an amazing blog
I am currently reading,The Battle of the Labyrint: Rick Riordan. I am on page 103 out of 243. The thing that I really like about this book is that everyone included in the book has something special about them. Because of this it makes the book more exciting and adventrous even some everyday people that you would see walking by you on the sidewalk have special powers. The thing that I really don't like about this book is that, half bloods like Percy Jackson don't use there powers enough, for example there was a part in the book when in was raining on him and his friends, this could have been an opportunity to redirect the rain some where else.
@gparent5 good job!
@awilson6 oh yeah I forgot that your book is ULTRA LONG and you didn't have to do your first book thing or whatever you lucky dog you.
@ jphan2 nice post @ gparent wick downing is a good author
I just finished my book It’s Raining Cupcakes by: Lisa Schroeder. One thing I really liked about my book is how Isabel has so much confidence, courage, and determination to make her mom happy. She was going to pay her neighbor money for painting a mural for her in there cupcake shop for her mom so she didn’t give up. To her advantage her neighbor told her to just pay her in cupcakes. I didn’t like how Isabel’s mom kept giving up and complaining about everything when everyone wanted to help her. Also how she almost sold the shop before they even opened just because a famous brownie shop opened in the same town they lived in.
smwilliams2 that’s how my book was at first to taking forever to get interesting I hated it.
jphan2 I agree with you I love when the author gives you a "clear mind" about the characters feelings.
The book that im reading is Amgias and the author is Veronica Chambers. I am on page 55. One thing that I really like about my book is that cameron and alicia are such good friends and that nothing that will be able to break them up. But something that i dont like is that so far there is just nothing but friend drama and a lot of party planing no twist yet. But beside that the book is good.
gparent5
Good job on your post this week.
nbrown5
Interesting like and dislike. I relly liked it.
The book I am reading is were wolf rising by R.L.LaFevers. I just finished this book it ended on page 199. I like the fact that the author made us feel what the charter was feeling. The vivid details made me think I was in the action.one thing I did not like the way the book was set up the way it made it a little boring then out of know were some random fight breaks out. It get a confusing after a wile.
gparent5 i read that book the end is amazing
nbrown5 i know lots of people who have read that bookmaby ill iread it
The book I am currently reading is "The Son of Neptune". The author is Rick Riordan. The page I'm on is page 171. One specific thing I like about my book is how each chapter changes to a different person's point of view. I honestly can't think of something that I don't like about the book. It's really good and I love how this author writes.
@eyakel6
I don't like drama either, but in a book it's interesting.
@tnichola6
I read that series and it's really good. I agree though that you can get lost sometimes.
Im currently reading the book Stumptown Kid by Carol Gorman and Ron J. Findley im on page 50. One specific thing I like about my book is that the main character is the only one that likes an African American in his town. The one specific thing I really don't like is the discrimination that people have in this book for just one person that has a different color.
gparent5. Do you like this book?
The current book that I am reading is HOOT by Carl Hiaasen. I am on page 134. I am enjoying this book so far one thing I like about this book is that a boy named Mullet Finger is vandalizing this soon to be pancake house the reason is that burrowing owls live on the property and their homes would be demolished by construction. The bad thing about this book is that there is this bully named Dana and he smokes and drinks. This is showing a bad example of smoking and alcohol abuse and might give kids the wrong idea.
@ nbrown5
very good explanation
@ ccummings5
that book sounds really sad but great job
The current book I am reading now is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. The author of the book is John Boyne. I am on page 40. I really like the part when the main character becomes friends with a boy he is not supposed to. I dislike the part where the main character and his friend dies. This is the second time I am reading this book, because it is one of my favourite books and I like it.
Your book is awesome and inspirational.
What a nice I am looking foward to read it.
The book I am reading is Eragon. The auther is Christopher Paolini. The book is way better than the movie. I like it because it has a decent amount of action. I don't like it because of some boring parts in the book.
Your book looks interesting.
I might read your book.
I am currently reading the book Bound by Donna Jo Napoli and I am currently on page 49. One thing that i really enjoy about this book is that it has elements that have or that can occur in current time. Another that I dislike though, is that in some parts of the book, there is an odd dialogue. One example that's great is when the main character, Xing Xing, always works even though she is too young. I recommend this book even though there are many good parts and bad parts, it has some elements people can relate to.
@ nbrown5
Ive read that before.
@ eyakel6
Cool storyline.

I am currently reading the Astonishing Journey of Teddy Bodain by Mellissa Forney. I am currently on page 101. One reason why I like this book is where it takes place. This book takes place in Florida in 1892. One reason why I hate this book is that all the horrible events teddy has to go through, like the death of her little brother.
I am currently reading Unwind by Neal Shusterman and I am on page 215. One thing I really like about this book is the author lets you know who is speaking by using the character's name as the chapter title. If the author didn't do this, the book would be a lot harder to follow and know who is speaking. One thing I don't really like about this book is how many characters there are. Even though the author uses the chapter's title for the characters, there are a lot of side characters.
gparent5- It annoys me also when there are a lot of characters.
awilson6- You did a good job with the blog.
I'm reading The Show Pilot Episode by Jordan Cooke and I'm on page 70. Something I really like about the book is how brutally honest it is. The book is about a girl who is kinda dorky getting an internship recomended by her uncle for a tv show with a-list actors... It makes it where everybody isnt perfect and i like that. Something i dont like is some of it can be a little cliche.
zotto5-It does get really confusing when there are alot of characters.
twithers5-I love that book! The movie's pretty good too.
My book is Secret of The Old Clock by Carolyn Keene. I'm on page 145 . I like the fact that this book contains a lot of details. This helps me paint a picture in my head. Its like as if I was watching a movie. I don't like that it has too much diaolog. Nancy talks to someone thought half of the book.
The title of my book is the wish Stealers, the author is Tracy Trivas. The current page I’m on is 102; one thing I like about my book is that Griffin is trying to return the stolen wish to people. Well Griffin is trying to return the wish. One thing that I don’t like about my book it that this one girl named Samantha is a really jerk to people. She always thinks that she is the best at of all the people in the school.
The title of my book is KICK by Walter Dean Myers. I am on page 197. And one thing I like is that it easy to understand and is a good story. One thing I dislike is that in the book there is alternating voices. but besides that it is a very good book.
asantacroce2, nice job
twithers5, good job
I am currently reading "To Kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee. Also I'm on page 111. Something that I like about my book is that the kids during the summer are adventerous, funny, and creative it reminds me a lot of the old Disney channel shows like Suite Life with Zack and Cody. What I hate about my book is that it has quite cruel racism. Also the hard grammar makes it difficult to understand my book sometimes.
@Awilson6 you did good with giving examples
@jphan2 nice details
@rhale6, I have read that book, it is one of my favorite. You have to be a pretty high level reader to assimilate. Good review.
@mlennon6
The Show Pilot seems like an awesome book. You were very specific on your review. I am definitely interested in it.
I am currently reading "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. What I love most about this book is, once you start to comprehend what the book is about, it's impossible to put down. I am on page 165. I recommend this to people who like action, suspense, and binding.

Dont Go Past Go is a good book. Im on page 21 beause I just started. I really enjoy how the book is outgoing and not boring.What i dont like about the book is its about 200 pages.I recommend this book to people who like action.
I am currently reading the book, The Mystery of Drear House by Virginia Hamilton. I am on page 75. One thing i like about my book is that its very descriptive, you can get a picture of where they are at. Like when they describe where they live. One thing i dislike about my book is, that every chaper there is something new and they dont finish the pevious one completely.

Nice blog

Glad you like your book
I just finished the book the Juvie Three written by Gordon Corman.One thing I really liked about my book was the the description words. It helped me get a clear picture in my head on whats going on. The dialouge was very understandable as far as the conflict and setting. I did not care a lot about the ending. The ending was not what expected it to be.
gparent That seems like a good book.
nbrown I loved that book!

@Mlennon6 Hi Maggie, Good job! thats kind of funny.
@TDaigle6 Nice man.
My book is 'Vietnam Sharpshooter' by Chris Lynch. I'm on page 139 and one thing i like is how the author makes the story seem like a real life experience. The description words paint all kinds of pictures in my head. One thing i don't like is how sad the book is. The boys are almost always upset...
adavis2 that was a good book
lmiller that was really good
I just finished reading the Hunger Games. By Suzanne Collins. One thing I liked about this book was the action. I liked the plot of the book and the characters. But I disliked how it took the story so long to get to the good. And I also disliked that the book was almost 400 pages.
Grenfroe6
You're really good at this.
Kkey2
Is that book any good?
The book I am currently reading is Bluford High Hummer of Secrets. The author of this book is Paul Langan this is a really good book. One thing I like about this book is that the sisters that’s in this book stick together. I like this because some sisters don’t like to stick together but there just like me and my sisters we love to stick together. And one thing I don’t like about this book is that one of the sisters is always in their parents business and I don’t like that because it’s between their parents and she shouldn’t be worried because it’s not about her.
I am currently reading the book Scat by Carl Hiaasen. I am done with the book. One specific thing that I liked about the book is the mystery of it and how it leaded up to things. It kept you anticipated. Also one thing that I didn’t like about the book is how they made the Teacher go missing in chapter 2 like I feel like the book was a little bit rushed.

@nbrown5 hey your title is wrong and you put of a wimpy kid twice. (: correct that.

The book I am currently reading is Artemis Fowl The Opal Deception. I am on page 171. One thing I really like about this book is that it has a lot of action and mystery. One thing I dont like is that every other chapter, it changes character without warning so it kind of confuses you.

I am reading “Swindle” by Gordon Korman. I am finished with this book and it’s really good. One thing that I really liked about this book was that usually kids don’t stand up to adults, but in this book seven kids show that adults can’t just walk all over kids that kids can make a stand for themselves and show up the adult. It is very inspiring what the kids did even though it’s just a book it really speaks to me.

I currently finished reading Best Friends For Never by Lisi Harrison. The one specific thing i like about this book is that these are real girls having fun together and becoming friends and say funny and real stuff. One specific thing I dislike is that the chapters can be longer becuase some chapters are only a few pages long and she could have written more.

The book that I am reading is called “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway
And I’m on page 41. One specific thing that I like is that how the boy care so much for the
Old man when nobody even looks at him. One specific thing that I don’t like is that even he try
His best, nobody would help him with his fishing.
