I am on page 230 of the book "Perfect" by Sara Shepard. If I was the author of the book i would change the cover to a real person. The reason is because the current cover is a barbie type doll and its kinda creepy. I would also change the way Aria's mom Ella found out about her husband Byron cheating on her. She found out because "A" send a letter to her and it told all about it, then she got mad because Aria knew and then she ended up kicking Aria and Byron out of the house.
the book i am currently reading is the hunger games mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. i am currently on page 193. if i where the the author of the book i would change nothing because i don't want to give out spoilers. such as how this person dies and such.
well its hard to put my finger on it but im reading the abduction by john grisham theres not nuch i would change other than the fact that the main characters freind is gone without a trace thats basicly it. the book is pretty good
I am reading "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson and I am finished with the book. If I were the author I would change just a couple of things in the book. I feel that the book moves a bit too fast on some parts and a bit slow on the others. I would change the flow of the book. I did enjoy it however, I feel it moved a bit too fast. @Sbrown4 Good job @cweinberg6 Good book
I am reading The Power of Un by Nancy Etchemendy and I am on page 132. In this book Gib finds a device called the unner, that can change things by going back in time by a few hours. With the unner, he goes back a few hours to the carnival, and at the carnival, his little sister Roxanne breaks her neck. Roxanne is in a comma in the hospital and is about to die. If I were Gib, I would keep the under, but only use it in dire emergencies and not to change my mom's mind about going to the fair. Or maybe if I had the unner, I would use it to study harder for tests or get my homework done.
@SBrown4 I love Pretty Little Liars!!! I am done reading that series, but it is so good! I really like watching the t.v. show. The t.v. show is a lot different than the books though, but it is still really good!
I am currently reading If I Stay by Gayle Forman and I am on page 32. In this book if I could change one thing, it would be to describe who Adam is more. Adam is described as Mia’s boyfriend but it doesn’t actually say it. It talks about how he’s in a band and how he can rarely go to school normally. On page 7 it says, “Mom hands me a steaming mug and the newspaper. There’s a nice picture of your young man in there, she says.” When I first read this it confused me because I didn’t know who it was and if the guy was actually her boyfriend or just a guy from a band that she has a crush on. I would change the book to make this part less confusing.
gpanipinto4 Great job on your blog! Nice job being descriptive.
RRaisch6 Good job on you blog. Your book sounds pretty good.
I just finished the book "Chomp" by Carl Hiaasen. If I were the author of the book I would change the way Derek Badger acted and potrayed himself. Derek Badger is a T.V star and is most known from his show that requires him working in the wild with animals. In the book, he made a huge fool out of himself as he tried to wrangle an alligator. This almost cost him his career, not to mention this could also kill him. Derek was also the main reason for all of the conflict between the characters. If he wasn't such a fake, he would perhaps get along with everyone.
I am reading The Line by Teri Hall and I am on page 18. The thing I would chance would be Rachel's poverty, for her not to be poor and live in her own house. It feel like ten character she has to live with to not live in the streets it's just relevant. The character has no point to the story. If they live in the own house next to the The Line she still would be wondering whats past The Line.
I am currently reading the book "Far Far Away"by Tom Mcneal, page 105. A recent event was that Jeremy got caught by the police for breaking into the bakers house, yet the baker let him off easy because he was kind. If I was the author I would probably change this scene to make it more interesting, and suspenseful. Jeremy was with his friend Ginger when it happened, so I would make both of them get caught. Instead of the baker letting them off easy, I would make both of them go to jail, and sit there for a night. The book would explain how the ghost that always helps Jeremy helps him through the scene in jail.
@GPanipnto When I read books, and they go too fast, I don't really like it either.
@SBrown A barbie doll on the front does sound creepy, but maybe it gives more meaning to the book. I dont know, but it sounds interesting.
I’m reading Perfect Season by Tim Green and I am done with the book. If I were the author I would change how long the book is. Sometimes when I was reading the book I got kind of bored with how he went on and on about one little thing. I would change this so that the readers don’t get bored and change books. I would also change this because that is the first thing kids look at when they look at a book is how many pages there are. @Sbrown4 that’s interesting and could maybe work if you change the cover. @NPorrata great blog.
I am reading Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle, and I'm on page 148. The book has 3 different stories and I just finished the first one by Maureen Johnson. Now I am reading the story by John Green. If I were the author of John Green's story I wouldn't change very much. But if I absolutely had to change something, it would be how Tobin's mother is so clingy. At the beginning of the story she constantly call Tobin while he's watching James Bond movies with his friends. She's worried because her and Tobin's dad are stuck in Boston due to snow and Tobin is going to be home alone for Christmas. These dull every day phone calls between worried mother and son is how the story starts. I don't like boring or dull so I would change that, and begin the story with something more interesting. Maybe some onomatopoeia from the movies Tobin and his friends are watching like, "Bang! or "Kaboom!" Something like that.
@jsmith4 Carl Hiaasen seems to be most popular for reading choices lately. At least, that's the way it seems on the blog. He's a good author nonetheless, but I just noticed the pattern and thought I'd point it out. Great blog, by the way!
I am reading the infinity ring by James Dashner, i am on pg.100. if i was the author of this book i would change how the main character was a nerd. i would probably make him an outsider and how he is very different from other. another thing i would change is going back in time to find Christopher Columbus. i probably would have made them go back in time to find lewis and Clarke. lewis and Clarke was in a native tribe that found that devastated the world. thats probably what i would write.
I am reading Neela Victory Song by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and I am I'm on page 124. If I was the author I probably would have never combined war and romance together because I don't like those things together. The book talks about war and romance. She is struggling to be who she wants to be. Neela is out there and I believe that it should be more focused on how Indian love culture.
I read Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and finished it. I would probably change that Lennie died. I hated that he died because I spent the entire time on the book getting attached to him and in the end he gets shot in the back of the head. It was sad and depressing. I'd also change how George treated him, he was kind of rude to Lennie at times, so that when Lennie screwed up so bad that when he had to die, he was scared of George going to "give him hell" and it was depressing because you knew what was going to happen to him, and you didn't want him sad in his final moments.
@Sbrown4 Yeah the doll would be pretty creepy.
@cweinnberg Well that disappoints, I wanted to hear the change.
Eldest. By Christopher Paolini If I was the author of my I would change some of the events that have been taking place in my book such as¸ Eragon got cut in the back by the shade and now is somewhat handicapped. Another thing I would change is how he formatted the book, because some chapters it’s about the main character other chapters it’s about the main characters cousin. It’s confusing and I always have to go back and re-read what I just read. @PO'hara , good job with your blog. im sorry you didnt like the ending @ecarter , good job
The book I read was Mike Lupica’s comeback kids. If I was the author of my book I would change 3 things about my book. One, I would make the main character have better football skills than what he has. Meaning that instead of his secret talent being a kicker I would make him have great speed and agility. Another thing I would change is the main characters girlfriend. She hates all his friends and this make his friend friendship weaker than it already gotten. The last thing I would change is the setting. The setting is a small town and this makes the football games limited and make the story short.
keep up the good work @sbarry2
great job @bmitchell2 i read the perfect season before
I am reading My Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, an I am on page 170. If I were the author i would change the book, not in story, but the layout of the book itself. the pages are too short. If they had more text on each page the book would be much shorter in terms of pages. In length the book it about some 200- odd pages, but if they contained less text the whole book would be closer to 150.
I am currently reading The Fault In Our Stars by John Green and I am on page 250. If I was the author of this book I wouldn't make Van Houten be that disrespectful towards Hazel and Gus. Van Houten told Hazel that she was a side effect of an "evolutionary process that carries little for individual lives. You are a failed experiment in mutation" I found what he said to be very harsh. I don't believe anyone should say that to a cancer patient. As the author, I would have Van Houten tell Hazel about what happened to the characters in "An Imperial Affliction" and not be so mean.
I am currently reading Tears of a tiger by Sharon M. Draper. If i was the author of my book I would change the part when Robert Washington Died in a accident. I would change it because everyone in the book is sad because he is dead. They wish they could replay that whole night over again. Andy said that he wishes that they were never drinking.(Andy was the one driving) All of the boys that were in the car regret drinking that night. It was a boy named Tyrone, Andy, Gerald, and B.J. All of them wish they would have just celebrated regular that night without any drinking.
I am reading Trails and Targets by Kelly Eileen Hake and I am on page 205. If I were the author of my book I would change the pace of my book. Some days when Im reading I often find myself bored because all the action is at the back of the book. I have to read through many pages just to get to the next big event. So if I were the author my book would be action packed with danger and excitement at every turn. @Sbrown you did a fabulous job keep up the good work @RRaisch6 awesome post keep doing what you're doing
I have currently started reading Divergent by Veronica Roth, pg.20. If I were the author of my book I would change the way the amplitude test were given. I would have made them so you wouldn't have to inject a needle into your neck. but have electrical wiring to the test. I have some kind of electrical trigger to make the test lest painful.
I am reading Passion by Lauren Kate and I am on page 33. if I were the author, I would change the fact that Luce is actually experiencing her past lives in person. her past grandmother confused Lucinda with Luschka(Luce in the past). That could cause the past Luce to die a different way or Luce in the present to die and then not be able to come back again. I would make Luce just see or witness the past version of her.
I have finished Ranger's Apprentice book four by John Flanagan. If I was the author of this book I would make it a bit more suspenseful. I would also change the cover a little. I would show some more Skandians and I would show Halt, Will, Horace, and Cassandra. I feel like the cover could use some more people that's why I would add those extra people on the cover. Though to be honest I don't want to make the changes. But those are just some suggestions.
Sbrown4: thats pretty cool cweinberg6: thats fine and all but if you really could change the book how would you change it?
I am finished with my book "The Big Time" by Tim Green. In last weeks blog I posted that I didn't like when Troy didn't stick up for himself. I said that if I were him I would've told my mom that it is unfair for her to make my father go away when I just met him. Well that's the thing that I would change if I were the author. This is because if Troy started yelling at his mom and telling her it's not fair that would've added more excitement to the story. Also, I would change that because throughout the books that I've read with Troy in it, he is the type of person that would normally stand up for himself. I guess he just didn't do that because it was his mom or something.
@gpanipinto4 I heard that book was good @RRaisch6 The unner sounds really cool. I would definitely use it
I am currently reading catching fire by Suzanne Collins and i am on pg. 78. If i was the author of the book i would change the main character to a boy. So instead of a girl going through all them challenges i'll pick a boy because a boy is more realistic for the plot of the book, a real girl probably wouldnt be able to handle that. I would also make some more unbelievable challenges, some stuff that people who think would think to be impossible to do. I would also make a final boss to beat, like it would be a brawl to the death.
I’m currently reading it’s a mall would after all by Janette Rallison, And I’m on page 314. I love this book, but if I can change something about it. It Would have to be the fact that her job was spraying perfume on people that would walk past her. I would change this because it doesn’t fit the characters personality, because clearly she hated her job .she says over and over again in the story , I just feel there is no actual point so that’s the one thing I would change in the story in currently reading
The book I am currently reading is Jackpot by Gordon Korman, and I am on page 23. The one thing I would change is the location. I would change the setting to California. I would change it to this because I feel it fits the rest of the story. that is the thing i would change.
I am finished with "Do Not Pass Go" by: Kirkpatrick Hill. I f i were the author of my book i would change the main character Deet. The reason why i would change him as a main character is because to me he seems like a kid i would hate entirely. He does extra work for fun! If Deet was a real person i would definitely not be his friend because my opinion is i don't really like people who are like that.(please don't take this personally, its just my opinion)
I am currently finished with the book Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. Supposing If I was the author I would probably changed the names of the characters to actually matched their personalities. Quite possibly the place as well. Being that the the story took place in omaha I actually would change the place and not the names.
i am currently reading the book eggs by jerry spinelli and i'm on page 78. if i were the author of the book i would change the front cover of the book. i would change the front cover because it looks dumb and dead to me. the book is a very good book but the cover would make someone not want to read it.
am reading “the son “by Lois Lowry. I’m currently on page 50. One thing that I would change about my book is when it like gets interesting then it gets boring then interesting. This book increases my suspense on what would happen next and it also helps me enjoy this book. I would change it so my book can be very interesting throughout the book and so it would keep me connected. That’s the only thing that I think I would ever change about my book.
I just finished reading the book "The Man In the Box" by Mary Louis Dunn and i would change the way the book ended. Chau Li didn't get on the helicopter with the American because he wasn't one. I wouldve made it to where he got to live with the American and be a family like they were planning.
I am reading "The Open Window" by Lemony Snicket and am currently done with it. The author of my book makes it to where the orphans never have a happy ending. Its always a tragedy after almost every chapter, but he might be doing that to make you want to keep reading. Anyway, if I were the author I would make this book to where something good happens to the orphans. not just constantly having misfortune come to them.
I have just finished reading One For The Murphys, by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. If I was the author of the book I would change the ending. At the end of the book carley is sent back with her mother after everything. If I were to change this I would make it so carelys mom lost custody, and the murphys adopted her. I would make it so carley was driving out to leave and the family runs out and asks to adopt her.
I'm currently reading "Save the Cupcakes" by Lisa Papademetriou and am on page 28. If I were Lisa I would change how this book has cupcake recipes in it. I would change that because most of the cupcakes sound nasty and they take up a lot of space in the book. There are too many pages wasted because of the cupcakes. I think the author should do a better job at describing what is happening in the book.
I'm on page 112 of the book "The Boy In The Striped Pajamas" by John Boyne. If I was the author of this story I would change the ending of the story.I would make this change because two really kind little boys die in a gas chamber.Its about the holocaust and the main character Bruno meets a Jew named Shmuel. Bruno's dad owned a camp for the Jews. Shmuel asked Bruno to help him find his father,Bruno put on a stripped prisoners suit and helped shmuel. Bruno and Shumel were put in a gas chamber with other men and gassed.
I'm currently reading Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson, and I'm currently on page 80. If I was the author, I would make the book more exciting with more suspense, by making David talk about the other dangerous adventures he had and thank about them in details, rather than just one. In addition, I would lessen the drama because that makes you lose the reader's attention and makes the reader get bored of reading the book, I would make somebody other than both his parents die. Moreover, I would change the way the people spoke, because I think it would be very hard to read sailor talk and understand what they're saying.

The book I'm currently reading is The Rivalry by Mike Lupica I'm currently on page 77.If I was the author i would change the book a little and change the main characters because they were not so good at what they did.I would've changed the two charters to two very well done at their job at being a news reporter.I would put them further into the test.And make the book much more interesting for everyone to read to make a great book.
I am currently reading "Stung" by Bethenny Wiggins and I'm on page 44. If I was the author, I would change the focus in the story. When I mean by that is when the main character wakes up in a house and doesn't remember anything, I would have given that character more of a worried action than action that seems like she has been in this "book" before and knows how to play the "roles".
I am currently reading is Seal Team Six I am on page 7. If I was the author I would change the focus of the story. Like I would talk more about what they had to do to prepare to go on mission. Instead of talking about the mission that they went on. but so far the book is really interesting . Good job @Jsanford5 I love reading your blog. @smith4 good does not even describe your blog
I am on page 1 of the book "Black Duck" by Janet Taylor Lisle. If i was the author of this book i would change the name of the book. The reason is I don't like ducks they're annoying. I would also change the idea of a dead body in this book. Because it makes me more cautious of my surroundings. And it also makes me more defensive about myself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The book I was reading was The underdogs by Mike Lupica and I'm finished. I would change the pace of the book because it goes to slow at certain points were it should go fast. I would also change some of the dialogue so the characters say something more interesting than what they originally said. I didn't really like the book because of the certain things. That's what i would change.
I'm reading "My brother is a big at liar by James Patterson, I'm on page 102. If I were the author of this book, I would change the character of Ralph. Ralph is a bad student in school and a mean brother at home. He lies on his sister and got kicked out of school when he was in 7th grade. I would change Ralph into a cool person who gets into trouble now and then because if I changed Ralph all the way, the book wouldn't be as interesting. snturner3 good job! SBrown4 good job!
I am starting a new book called 100 Cupboards by N.D. Wilson and I'm on page 22. Since I am not far into this book, I will try to answer this the best I can. If I were the author of this book I wouldn't change anything. Everything is very interesting and I can't wait to see what happens next. Right now, I am getting to know my main character and my main character is starting to know his surroundings. He just moved to his aunt and uncle's house because his parents are, I think, almost dead.
i am on page 175 in the book cover-up by john Feinstein. If I were the author I would have changed almost all of it. The tittle is called cover-up mystery of the super bowl. Except all it is two teen reporters and there problems Every now and then they talk about the super bowl between the Indianapolis colts and the Baltimore ravens. I rather it talk more about the actual game and only a little of the reporters problems.
My book is Matched by Ally Condie and I'm on page 344. If I was the author I would actually change the whole love triangle theme. I like books that is straight forward when it comes to a "book couple." I don't like the love traingle that much, I like it when the main character know who he/she loves more than love triangle. Although the love traingle add to the drama and suspense in the story I still would change the love traingle theme.
cmcknight4 Awesome blog! kberry2 Sounds like a pretty awesome book.
I am reading Firefight by Brandon Sanderson, and I am on page 254. If I were the author of this book, I would change nothing. Every part of this book is important to the plot and character development that makes it create, so why change it? I may have chosen different small things, like changed the names of some characters, such as Exel and Mizzy, because they are strange, but nothing more than that. I also might change the name of the city its set in, Newcago, because it just sounds stupid.
Sbrown4: Nice job, those sound like good decisions. Abkhodr4: Great blog, I would change the speaking too.
I am reading The fifth wave by Rick Yancey and I am on page 453. If I could change something I would change the appearance of a certain character to come sooner. Ben Parish was a boy who the main character was in love with in high school. She fell in love with an alien possessing a human later in the book. I think It would be more interesting to introduce the characters sooner and with more twists. @Sbrown4 Good job and good detail. @gpanipinto4 Good job on your blog, I heard it was a good book.
I am reading "The youngest templar" by Michael P. Spradlin and I am on page 230. If I was the author of this book I would have made the main character a little older. Since the main character is so young it is hard for him to fight and hold his battle sword because it is so heavy. If the main character was older there would have been more action and fights through out the book. Also if the main character was older he would be smarter and have made better plans for when him and his friends were in trouble.
I am reading Ungifted by Gordon Korman and I'm on page 100. If I was the author of the book I would change the cover of the book. The reason why is because, you cant clearly see the robot, and the title is overlooked. I would also change the main character. The main character Donovan doesn't think he's good at anything, I would make him know what he's good at.
I'm currently reading written by Dan Poblocki and i'm on page 45.If I was the author of this book I would change how the story start out because I would start out what happen for my characters to be going through what they go through so the reader would know and understand how the main character feels this type of way or why they made that action. And the reason I would change that is I want to know how did my main character mother die without getting through the whole story and finding out when they could already tell you so you know that's why the character doesn't want to stay at his aunt's house like in wished they said that in the beginning so you'll be like oooh that's why that happened.
I just started reading The Alchemist, and I'm on page 28. If I were the author I would maybe describe more of the main character's childhood. Otherwise, so far the author has written the book perfectly! My favorite part of the book so far is the message the author sends, because it's a message I often think about. The author talks about people's fate in a way I've never really thought of until I started reading this book, and it's really helping me realize how the smallest things can change even the biggest of events.
The book I am reading is called travel team by Mike Lupica and I am on page 93. One major thing that I would change in this book is all the drama. Some parts of this book had drama. I am not a fan of drama. I would change it into something that hads sports and action together in one book or sports and adventure in one book.
The book I am currently reading is After 2 by Anna a Todd, and I am about 50% through it. If I was the author of this book and I would change one thing it would be how much the two main characters fight so much. They are so in love and it's really hard to read all the fights that they have. It's actually quite heartbreaking. So that is definitely something I would change. @ddallas5 good job !!! sounds interesting @jperkins5 great work !!
I am reading "scat" by Carl Hiaasen and I am on page 103. If I was the author of the book I would change the tone of the book. The whole book is hard to get into because its so boring. I would have gosh darn explosion every once an a while or I would try to get someone to fight more often. So yeah I would have an action book rather than a boring drama kinda book.
@cweinberg6 nice blog @sbrown seems like a nice book
I just finished reading Devon Delaney Should Totally Know Better by Lauren Barnholdt. If I was the author of this book, I would change the main character’s personality. I want Devon to be braver than she was before. Then, she would be able to overcome her fears easily. She was afraid of many things and that led her to lie to other people. Eventually in the end, she overcomes it and made good decisions. @snturner3 Great details! @rraisch6 I love your book!
Currently I am reading “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins and I am on page number 98. I would probably change how Katniss reacts when she has to go meet up with Cinna and the team. I would make this change by altering how she felt and make her start to freak out when they began to prep her for the chariot ride with Peeta to be addressed by President Snow. I might have also changed up how their outfits look and add my own little, tweaks here and there. But all in all, that is one of the major things I would change if I was the author. If I was a bit farther into the book I might find other points that I want to change up as well.
@snturner3 - man, I really wanna read that book, but I haven't been able to get it
@jsmith4 - coolio, I really loved that book when I read it
The book I am currently reading is "Four' by Veronica Roth, I am on page 85. If I was the author of this book I would make the book much more descriptive. This is a decent book over all, but more details. Also I would have more action in the book. Over all its a decent book.
I am reading The O'Reilly Factor For Kids by Bill O'Reilly and Charles Flowers and I have finished the book. If I was the author I would not change a thing about the book. The reason why is because it is a great book with lots of helpful information. There is great advise for kids in the book that I really think was good. Never would I change the book.
I'm currently reading "schooled" by Gordan Korman and I am on page 20. If I was the author of my book I would change the school Capricorn Anderson goes to, it is quite a bad school full of bully's it is to unrealistic because there are not that many bully's in middle school every where (Cap) goes he gets bullied for no reason. Elementary school is where most of the bullies are because no one has matured yet at all. Evidence from the book that shows there are bullies all around his school like on page 16 where even the tour guide didn't want to be seen with him ""New kid," I said aloud just in case anybody thought he was actually with me.". MY book is pretty interesting either way though but when my book is realistic fiction I would like it to be more realistic.
I am reading "Small as an Elephant" by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and I am done reading my book. If I was the author of this book I would change the cover of the book. The cover has the title and a small elephant. Since the title is "Small as an Elephant" and everyone knows that elephants are big, I would put in a big elephant. So the readers will laugh about it because the title and the picture doesn't make sense. I think they will have interest about the book and read it. Then many people will read it, and I would make a lot of money.
I am currently reading "Lock & Key" by Sarah Dessen, I am on page 209. If I was the author of this book I would change the way the main character see's herself. The reason why I say this is because the main character is so insecure about herself and her life style she changes the way she acts and she thinks less of herself. This makes the book seem more like it talks about her insecurities instead of the actual situation of the book. Don't get me wrong I still love the book just not exactly everything about it.
@gpanipinto4 That sounds great! @jsmith4 Great job!
I am page 22 in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. If I was the author of the book I am reading and I could change one thing I would change the characters names. I would change them because I think that Mr. Green could of used better names for the characters. If I wan the author I would probably change them to Maggie and Thomas because I think that those names fit the characters and how the act. That is what I would change in the book if I was the author.
I just finished the book "Shooter" by Walter Myers. If I was the author of the book, I would change the way the story was told. I would put it in the perspective of the shooter Leo. To show how and what happened in the shooting, and then switch it to the students perspective. I think this would have made the book a little more interesting, then how the author wrote it.
I'm reading The Tomorrow Code by Brian Falkner and on page 253. If I were the author i would change the fact that the main characters got away from the authorities. Or make it so that Zeta (pet) survived an attack from a virus. I would like to make this change because the main characters would not act distraught. Also the main characters would have an easier ending or conclusion without being wanted from the authorities.
Sbrown4: Nice job on your wants and why you would change it.
in My book the First Team by Tim Green and currently on page 15. If I was the author I would change the title of the book from first team to first experience. I would change it because it was a first experience to all the kids to see and play with each other on a field. All the kids didn't know how to work with each other on a team that had just come together. In all the kids worked it out and came together for a wonderful time.
I am reading "The House of Hades" by Rick Riordan and I have finished it. If I was the author of "The House of Hades" I would not change anything about it because in my opinion the author does a great job at it himself. The way he does this is by binding each event with the excellence that comes with each book that he writes.
The book I'm currently reading is Hero by Mike Lupica an I'm on pg 102. If i was the author of the book i would change the scenery. Instead of the city i would have the setting in a country or calm place. Kind of like Starke,FL.So that the story could be more interesting
I am done with my current book but I was reading “Dead Is a Battle Field” by Marlene Perez. If I was the author of my book I would change the fact that there are so many mysteries in the book. This actually makes the book really confusing and I honestly did not like that. The book was an easy read so it was okay with me but I would like a little less mysteries and a little more answers. One detail from the beginning of the book is that, the main characters brother died and they only tell you where but not how. They tell you exactly what happens at the end of the book which didn't make sense to me.
Im reading Al Capone cleans my shirts by Gennier Holden.If i could change one think I would change the criminal to Machine Gun Kelly. MGK is also a big time criminal just like Al Capone, he just seems cooler to me.If i could i would put myself in the book as well. this book is very interesting and i would recommend it.
My book was Hugo Cabret by Brain Selznick and i'm doing this book still because I don't have an other book. If I were the author of that book I would of put in a plot twist near the end. For example, when he met the old guy I would of put in the twist that it was his grandfather.In my book he always watches this guys toy store an when he's not watching he usually takes stuff. One time he got caught and got chased down by the old guy and throughout the book he gets closer and closer to him.
I am currently reading The Familiars by Adam Epstein and Andrew Jacobson and I am on page 213. If I was the author I would change that a semi-main character doesn't get killed. I would change this because this character was the teacher of the Familiars' Loyals. I would also change this because he was an important part to the history in the story. I would also change this because its so sad how he was killed in front of his students. I would also add some more humor to the dialogue. I would change this because the story gets has really tense moments and humor would lighten the story's mood. Good job Sbrown4. Amazing job gpanipinto4.
I am on page 123 of the book called "last stand of fox company". If i were the author i wouldn't really change anything. the book is non fiction and so it happened in reality. I also wouldn't want to change it because it is one of the marines greatest victories.the story told how the Vietnamese ambushed 51 marines, and that the marines held of thousands of them and only last a few men.
My book is called witch and wizard by James Patterson I probably wouldn't change a thing.It is a bestseller. It is also pretty awesome I'm on page 40 so far and it is good.If I had to change something it would be the kids choosing to take their parents instead of a drumstick and a book with blank pages. So that the parents could bring them.Now they are trapped with out their parents in a jail cell with a bunch of other kids.
I am reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lighting Thief by Rick Riordan, and I am on page 11. If I was the author of this book, I would change how Percy introduces himself to the reader. He doesn’t really provide an origin story for the reader. He pretty much just tells us his name, age, and how he was a troubled boarding student at Yancy Academy in upstate New York. I would have tried to make it a better origin story, a more descripted one.
I am reading The City Of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau and I am on page 9. I think that so far in the book one thing I would change is explain whats going on better. Of course I'm in just the beginning of the book but so far its a little unclear whats happening. Like when they are talking about school I didn't understand where they are or anything. I would explain the setting better.
The book i am reading is the adventures of tom sawyer and i am currently on page 122. If i could change anything in the book i would add the main characters emotional pain. I would add this because it would truly express the characters personality. It would also show how the character reacts under pressure. It would even reveal the characters true self.
I am reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke and i am currently on page 10. If I was the author I wouldn't change anything so far. Th author has so many good details in the story.
That makes sense @cweinberg6 @gpanipito i understand i love fast paced books but they need to have a storyline
I just finished the book Million Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica. If I were the author of the book i would have changed only one thing. I would change how Nate gets selected for the throw. He gets selected by being a raffle and winning. I would have chosen a different route like if there was a scout at his game watching and picked him to throw.
I am currently reading big Nate on a roll by Lincoln Peirce and i am on page 215. If I was the author of this book I would have changed the setting from the school year to the summer. So that Nate could enjoy his self in the book and not be in trouble. I would also make the book easier for Nate if I was the author. In the book Nate is constantly bullied and is always in trouble. @sbrown4 Great Job! @bmitchell2 Nice blog!..
I am reading I AM THE CHEESE a novel by Robert Cormier. If I was the author of my book I would not change much. Actually I would change nothing at all I think the book is great how it is.
The book I am currently reading is Percy Jackson and the sea of monster rick riodan I am on page 139. One thing that I would change about my book is to introduce more characters in the beginning. I would change this because there is only one character too like page 50.it has character but they don't make sense in the story. When they introduce characters they introduce them all at one time.
The book that i am currently reading is game changers by mike lupica. i am currently on page 78. if was the author of this book i would change the way how it started with a continuos intro about an outstanding player named ben mcbain.i would make these changes because the book is about a young man who was an underdog looking to make a come up although ben mcbain was his idol.
I am on page 306 and I am reading The Girl In The Mirror by Chrismal Harled.The book is very good I would not change anything in the book.Because the book is based on a true story and I cant change nothing in the book.But even if was not based on a true story i would still not change anything about the book because its a very great book.
I'm currently reading small as an elephant by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and I'm on page 120. If I could change any thing from my book I would change nothing. I feel that nothing should be change because i think its fine just the way it is. I like how the author has little facts at the beginning of each chapter about elephants. Also how throughout the story jack (the main character) has these flashback when with his mom.
I'm reading The Kill Order by James Dashner and I'm finished with the book. If I was the author of this book I wouldn't change anything. Honestly, the book is well-detailed , has an exciting plot, and keeps the reader locked in the book. However, the cover of the book should be a bit more detailed but I guess he was letting the story do all the talking. I would've added the bergs that goes flying around shorting people with darts that was filled with some sort of disease to the cover. And maybe the civilians running away from it, that way both the cover and story plot will attract the readers.
Jmiller2 amazing job on your blog, keep it up Lpozos5 keep up the good work
I am currently reading Harry potter by J.K.Rowling and I am done with it. If I aciuld make any changes to my book I would change how direct it is. Because as a reader I hate that and I know some people do to. I would make this change because I think the story needs to focus in more than just Harry potter. That's why I would make changes to my book.
The book I was reading Ghosts of War I finished by Ryan Smithson. The one thing I would change is the amount of pages that don't relate to the story. It's about his life of course but he kind of drifted of the page.Also most of the story was about him in Iraq. Instead of putting emphasis on the ghost of war theme.
I am reading Daniel X and am currently done with the book. If I could choose one thing to change about my book it would be the ending. The ending of the book is very predictable. Some might say the ending was your "normal fairy tale ending." So Daniel ends up saving everyone and killing alien number 6. I think it would have been better if the author killed Daniel but not actually killed him. Daniel should play dead then sneak up behind him and destroy him.
I am reading what happened to goodbye by Sarah Dessen and I am on page 112. If I was the author of this book I would try to organize things more. In some of the chapters I it is hard for me to really understand what the author is trying to say and sometimes I get confused on certain aspects of the book and what the characters mean in certain parts. I would also like to summarize things a little more and get more to the point. I'm more of a blunt person so its kinda hard for me to be kept in suspense for long periods of time and its really frustrating.

I am on page 230 of the book "Perfect" by Sara Shepard. If I was the author of the book i would change the cover to a real person. The reason is because the current cover is a barbie type doll and its kinda creepy. I would also change the way Aria's mom Ella found out about her husband Byron cheating on her. She found out because "A" send a letter to her and it told all about it, then she got mad because Aria knew and then she ended up kicking Aria and Byron out of the house.
the book i am currently reading is the hunger games mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. i am currently on page 193. if i where the the author of the book i would change nothing because i don't want to give out spoilers. such as how this person dies and such.
OK there's one comment, nice post Sbrown4
well its hard to put my finger on it but im reading the abduction by john grisham theres not nuch i would change other than the fact that the main characters freind is gone without a trace thats basicly it. the book is pretty good
I am reading "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson and I am finished with the book. If I were the author I would change just a couple of things in the book. I feel that the book moves a bit too fast on some parts and a bit slow on the others. I would change the flow of the book. I did enjoy it however, I feel it moved a bit too fast.
@Sbrown4 Good job
@cweinberg6 Good book
I am reading The Power of Un by Nancy Etchemendy and I am on page 132. In this book Gib finds a device called the unner, that can change things by going back in time by a few hours. With the unner, he goes back a few hours to the carnival, and at the carnival, his little sister Roxanne breaks her neck. Roxanne is in a comma in the hospital and is about to die. If I were Gib, I would keep the under, but only use it in dire emergencies and not to change my mom's mind about going to the fair. Or maybe if I had the unner, I would use it to study harder for tests or get my homework done.
@SBrown4 I love Pretty Little Liars!!! I am done reading that series, but it is so good! I really like watching the t.v. show. The t.v. show is a lot different than the books though, but it is still really good!
I am currently reading If I Stay by Gayle Forman and I am on page 32. In this book if I could change one thing, it would be to describe who Adam is more. Adam is described as Mia’s boyfriend but it doesn’t actually say it. It talks about how he’s in a band and how he can rarely go to school normally. On page 7 it says, “Mom hands me a steaming mug and the newspaper. There’s a nice picture of your young man in there, she says.” When I first read this it confused me because I didn’t know who it was and if the guy was actually her boyfriend or just a guy from a band that she has a crush on. I would change the book to make this part less confusing.
gpanipinto4 Great job on your blog! Nice job being descriptive.
RRaisch6 Good job on you blog. Your book sounds pretty good.
I just finished the book "Chomp" by Carl Hiaasen. If I were the author of the book I would change the way Derek Badger acted and potrayed himself. Derek Badger is a T.V star and is most known from his show that requires him working in the wild with animals. In the book, he made a huge fool out of himself as he tried to wrangle an alligator. This almost cost him his career, not to mention this could also kill him. Derek was also the main reason for all of the conflict between the characters. If he wasn't such a fake, he would perhaps get along with everyone.
sbrown4, nice blog!
cweinberg6, great job!
I am reading The Line by Teri Hall and I am on page 18. The thing I would chance would be Rachel's poverty, for her not to be poor and live in her own house. It feel like ten character she has to live with to not live in the streets it's just relevant. The character has no point to the story. If they live in the own house next to the The Line she still would be wondering whats past The Line.
@Sbrown4 That's a cool story line.
@cweinberg6 I want to read that book.
I am currently reading the book "Far Far Away"by Tom Mcneal, page 105. A recent event was that Jeremy got caught by the police for breaking into the bakers house, yet the baker let him off easy because he was kind. If I was the author I would probably change this scene to make it more interesting, and suspenseful. Jeremy was with his friend Ginger when it happened, so I would make both of them get caught. Instead of the baker letting them off easy, I would make both of them go to jail, and sit there for a night. The book would explain how the ghost that always helps Jeremy helps him through the scene in jail.
@GPanipnto When I read books, and they go too fast, I don't really like it either.
@SBrown A barbie doll on the front does sound creepy, but maybe it gives more meaning to the book. I dont know, but it sounds interesting.
I’m reading Perfect Season by Tim Green and I am done with the book. If I were the author I would change how long the book is. Sometimes when I was reading the book I got kind of bored with how he went on and on about one little thing. I would change this so that the readers don’t get bored and change books. I would also change this because that is the first thing kids look at when they look at a book is how many pages there are.
@Sbrown4 that’s interesting and could maybe work if you change the cover.
@NPorrata great blog.
I am reading Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle, and I'm on page 148. The book has 3 different stories and I just finished the first one by Maureen Johnson. Now I am reading the story by John Green. If I were the author of John Green's story I wouldn't change very much. But if I absolutely had to change something, it would be how Tobin's mother is so clingy. At the beginning of the story she constantly call Tobin while he's watching James Bond movies with his friends. She's worried because her and Tobin's dad are stuck in Boston due to snow and Tobin is going to be home alone for Christmas. These dull every day phone calls between worried mother and son is how the story starts. I don't like boring or dull so I would change that, and begin the story with something more interesting. Maybe some onomatopoeia from the movies Tobin and his friends are watching like, "Bang! or "Kaboom!" Something like that.
@NPorrata5 I think I squealed a little when I started reading your blog and saw what you were reading. It' cool to see you're reading that!
@jsmith4 Carl Hiaasen seems to be most popular for reading choices lately. At least, that's the way it seems on the blog. He's a good author nonetheless, but I just noticed the pattern and thought I'd point it out. Great blog, by the way!
I am reading the infinity ring by James Dashner, i am on pg.100. if i was the author of this book i would change how the main character was a nerd. i would probably make him an outsider and how he is very different from other. another thing i would change is going back in time to find Christopher Columbus. i probably would have made them go back in time to find lewis and Clarke. lewis and Clarke was in a native tribe that found that devastated the world. thats probably what i would write.
@snturner3 great blog. nice details to!
@jsmith great job!
I am reading Neela Victory Song by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and I am I'm on page 124. If I was the author I probably would have never combined war and romance together because I don't like those things together. The book talks about war and romance. She is struggling to be who she wants to be. Neela is out there and I believe that it should be more focused on how Indian love culture.
Nice Words
Great Job
I read Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and finished it. I would probably change that Lennie died. I hated that he died because I spent the entire time on the book getting attached to him and in the end he gets shot in the back of the head. It was sad and depressing. I'd also change how George treated him, he was kind of rude to Lennie at times, so that when Lennie screwed up so bad that when he had to die, he was scared of George going to "give him hell" and it was depressing because you knew what was going to happen to him, and you didn't want him sad in his final moments.
@Sbrown4 Yeah the doll would be pretty creepy.
@cweinnberg Well that disappoints, I wanted to hear the change.
@DNova5 Good Job!!
@RRaisch6 Sounds like a cool book.
Eldest. By Christopher Paolini
If I was the author of my I would change some of the events that have been taking place in my book such as¸ Eragon got cut in the back by the shade and now is somewhat handicapped. Another thing I would change is how he formatted the book, because some chapters it’s about the main character other chapters it’s about the main characters cousin. It’s confusing and I always have to go back and re-read what I just read.
@PO'hara , good job with your blog. im sorry you didnt like the ending
@ecarter , good job
The book I read was Mike Lupica’s comeback kids. If I was the author of my book I would change 3 things about my book. One, I would make the main character have better football skills than what he has. Meaning that instead of his secret talent being a kicker I would make him have great speed and agility. Another thing I would change is the main characters girlfriend. She hates all his friends and this make his friend friendship weaker than it already gotten. The last thing I would change is the setting. The setting is a small town and this makes the football games limited and make the story short.
keep up the good work @sbarry2
great job @bmitchell2 i read the perfect season before
I am reading My Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, an I am on page 170. If I were the author i would change the book, not in story, but the layout of the book itself. the pages are too short. If they had more text on each page the book would be much shorter in terms of pages. In length the book it about some 200- odd pages, but if they contained less text the whole book would be closer to 150.
cweinberg6
OK
RRaisch6 never knew there was also a book about obnoxious blond girls
I am currently reading The Fault In Our Stars by John Green and I am on page 250. If I was the author of this book I wouldn't make Van Houten be that disrespectful towards Hazel and Gus. Van Houten told Hazel that she was a side effect of an "evolutionary process that carries little for individual lives. You are a failed experiment in mutation" I found what he said to be very harsh. I don't believe anyone should say that to a cancer patient. As the author, I would have Van Houten tell Hazel about what happened to the characters in "An Imperial Affliction" and not be so mean.
Sbrown4
You did a great job. The book cover does sound kinda creepy
NPorrata5
You did an amazing job:)
I am currently reading Tears of a tiger by Sharon M. Draper. If i was the author of my book I would change the part when Robert Washington Died in a accident. I would change it because everyone in the book is sad because he is dead. They wish they could replay that whole night over again. Andy said that he wishes that they were never drinking.(Andy was the one driving) All of the boys that were in the car regret drinking that night. It was a boy named Tyrone, Andy, Gerald, and B.J. All of them wish they would have just celebrated regular that night without any drinking.
@Nporrata5
Good Job on your Blog.!
@Rraisch6
Great Job on your blog.!
I am reading Trails and Targets by Kelly Eileen Hake and I am on page 205. If I were the author of my book I would change the pace of my book. Some days when Im reading I often find myself bored because all the action is at the back of the book. I have to read through many pages just to get to the next big event. So if I were the author my book would be action packed with danger and excitement at every turn.
@Sbrown you did a fabulous job keep up the good work
@RRaisch6 awesome post keep doing what you're doing
I have currently started reading Divergent by Veronica Roth, pg.20. If I were the author of my book I would change the way the amplitude test were given. I would have made them so you wouldn't have to inject a needle into your neck. but have electrical wiring to the test. I have some kind of electrical trigger to make the test lest painful.
Great response sbrown4.
Great job gpanipinto4.
I am reading Passion by Lauren Kate and I am on page 33. if I were the author, I would change the fact that Luce is actually experiencing her past lives in person. her past grandmother confused Lucinda with Luschka(Luce in the past). That could cause the past Luce to die a different way or Luce in the present to die and then not be able to come back again. I would make Luce just see or witness the past version of her.
NPorrata5: Nice blog!
bmitchell2: Good blog!
I have finished Ranger's Apprentice book four by John Flanagan. If I was the author of this book I would make it a bit more suspenseful. I would also change the cover a little. I would show some more Skandians and I would show Halt, Will, Horace, and Cassandra. I feel like the cover could use some more people that's why I would add those extra people on the cover. Though to be honest I don't want to make the changes. But those are just some suggestions.
Sbrown4: thats pretty cool
cweinberg6: thats fine and all but if you really could change the book how would you change it?
I am finished with my book "The Big Time" by Tim Green. In last weeks blog I posted that I didn't like when Troy didn't stick up for himself. I said that if I were him I would've told my mom that it is unfair for her to make my father go away when I just met him. Well that's the thing that I would change if I were the author. This is because if Troy started yelling at his mom and telling her it's not fair that would've added more excitement to the story. Also, I would change that because throughout the books that I've read with Troy in it, he is the type of person that would normally stand up for himself. I guess he just didn't do that because it was his mom or something.
@gpanipinto4 I heard that book was good
@RRaisch6 The unner sounds really cool. I would definitely use it
I am currently reading catching fire by Suzanne Collins and i am on pg. 78. If i was the author of the book i would change the main character to a boy. So instead of a girl going through all them challenges i'll pick a boy because a boy is more realistic for the plot of the book, a real girl probably wouldnt be able to handle that. I would also make some more unbelievable challenges, some stuff that people who think would think to be impossible to do. I would also make a final boss to beat, like it would be a brawl to the death.
@sbrown4 good job
@cweinberg6 good job
I’m currently reading it’s a mall would after all by Janette Rallison,
And I’m on page 314. I love this book, but if I can change something about it. It
Would have to be the fact that her job was spraying perfume on people that would walk past her. I would change this because it doesn’t fit the characters personality, because clearly she hated her job .she says over and over again in the story , I just feel there is no actual point so that’s the one thing I would change in the story in currently reading
@ BMitchell2 amazing job
@JSmith4 outstanding
The book I am currently reading is Jackpot by Gordon Korman, and I am on page 23. The one thing I would change is the location. I would change the setting to California. I would change it to this because I feel it fits the rest of the story. that is the thing i would change.
BMitchell2: good job
JSmith4: keep up the good work
I am finished with "Do Not Pass Go" by: Kirkpatrick Hill. I f i were the author of my book i would change the main character Deet. The reason why i would change him as a main character is because to me he seems like a kid i would hate entirely. He does extra work for fun! If Deet was a real person i would definitely not be his friend because my opinion is i don't really like people who are like that.(please don't take this personally, its just my opinion)
@cweinberg6
good blog
@ddalllas5
Awesome blog bro
I am currently finished with the book Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. Supposing If I was the author I would probably changed the names of the characters to actually matched their personalities. Quite possibly the place as well. Being that the the story took place in omaha I actually would change the place and not the names.
nice ecomment cweinberg6!
great job sbrown4!!!
i am currently reading the book eggs by jerry spinelli and i'm on page 78. if i were the author of the book i would change the front cover of the book. i would change the front cover because it looks dumb and dead to me. the book is a very good book but the cover would make someone not want to read it.
great job sbrown4
cweinberg6 i love that book keep it up though.
am reading “the son “by Lois Lowry. I’m currently on page 50. One thing that I would change about my book is when it like gets interesting then it gets boring then interesting. This book increases my suspense on what would happen next and it also helps me enjoy this book. I would change it so my book can be very interesting throughout the book and so it would keep me connected. That’s the only thing that I think I would ever change about my book.
@cweinberg6 good work ethic ! keep it up.
@ jsmith4 good blog! you did good . keep it up!
Great blog!
Sounds like a good book
I just finished reading the book "The Man In the Box" by Mary Louis Dunn and i would change the way the book ended. Chau Li didn't get on the helicopter with the American because he wasn't one. I wouldve made it to where he got to live with the American and be a family like they were planning.
Super work
I am reading "The Open Window" by Lemony Snicket and am currently done with it. The author of my book makes it to where the orphans never have a happy ending. Its always a tragedy after almost every chapter, but he might be doing that to make you want to keep reading. Anyway, if I were the author I would make this book to where something good happens to the orphans. not just constantly having misfortune come to them.
awesome job! clynch2
great details! Tsfuller6
I have just finished reading One For The Murphys, by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. If I was the author of the book I would change the ending. At the end of the book carley is sent back with her mother after everything. If I were to change this I would make it so carelys mom lost custody, and the murphys adopted her. I would make it so carley was driving out to leave and the family runs out and asks to adopt her.
Sbrown4 nice blog
NPorrata5 nice details!
I'm currently reading "Save the Cupcakes" by Lisa Papademetriou and am on page 28. If I were Lisa I would change how this book has cupcake recipes in it. I would change that because most of the cupcakes sound nasty and they take up a lot of space in the book. There are too many pages wasted because of the cupcakes. I think the author should do a better job at describing what is happening in the book.
@sbrown4 Good job!
@jsmith4 Nice!
I'm on page 112 of the book "The Boy In The Striped Pajamas" by John Boyne. If I was the author of this story I would change the ending of the story.I would make this change because two really kind little boys die in a gas chamber.Its about the holocaust and the main character Bruno meets a Jew named Shmuel. Bruno's dad owned a camp for the Jews. Shmuel asked Bruno to help him find his father,Bruno put on a stripped prisoners suit and helped shmuel. Bruno and Shumel were put in a gas chamber with other men and gassed.
I'm currently reading Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson, and I'm currently on page 80. If I was the author, I would make the book more exciting with more suspense, by making David talk about the other dangerous adventures he had and thank about them in details, rather than just one. In addition, I would lessen the drama because that makes you lose the reader's attention and makes the reader get bored of reading the book, I would make somebody other than both his parents die. Moreover, I would change the way the people spoke, because I think it would be very hard to read sailor talk and understand what they're saying.

The book I'm currently reading is The Rivalry by Mike Lupica I'm currently on page 77.If I was the author i would change the book a little and change the main characters because they were not so good at what they did.I would've changed the two charters to two very well done at their job at being a news reporter.I would put them further into the test.And make the book much more interesting for everyone to read to make a great book.
Good detailed explanation Sbrown4
good details cweinberg6
jsmith4:You've got some great ideas.
I am currently reading "Stung" by Bethenny Wiggins and I'm on page 44. If I was the author, I would change the focus in the story. When I mean by that is when the main character wakes up in a house and doesn't remember anything, I would have given that character more of a worried action than action that seems like she has been in this "book" before and knows how to play the "roles".

I am currently reading is Seal Team Six I am on page 7. If I was the author I would change the focus of the story. Like I would talk more about what they had to do to prepare to go on mission. Instead of talking about the mission that they went on. but so far the book is really interesting . Good job @Jsanford5 I love reading your blog. @smith4 good does not even describe your blog
I am on page 1 of the book "Black Duck" by Janet Taylor Lisle. If i was the author of this book i would change the name of the book. The reason is I don't like ducks they're annoying. I would also change the idea of a dead body in this book. Because it makes me more cautious of my surroundings. And it also makes me more defensive about myself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sounds interesting @JSanford5
Good Job @JNias4
The book I was reading was The underdogs by Mike Lupica and I'm finished. I would change the pace of the book because it goes to slow at certain points were it should go fast. I would also change some of the dialogue so the characters say something more interesting than what they originally said. I didn't really like the book because of the certain things. That's what i would change.
nice blog @bmitchell
good blog @Xmatos5
I'm reading "My brother is a big at liar by James Patterson, I'm on page 102. If I were the author of this book, I would change the character of Ralph. Ralph is a bad student in school and a mean brother at home. He lies on his sister and got kicked out of school when he was in 7th grade. I would change Ralph into a cool person who gets into trouble now and then because if I changed Ralph all the way, the book wouldn't be as interesting.
snturner3 good job!
SBrown4 good job!
I am starting a new book called 100 Cupboards by N.D. Wilson and I'm on page 22. Since I am not far into this book, I will try to answer this the best I can. If I were the author of this book I wouldn't change anything. Everything is very interesting and I can't wait to see what happens next. Right now, I am getting to know my main character and my main character is starting to know his surroundings. He just moved to his aunt and uncle's house because his parents are, I think, almost dead.
To Sbrown4,
If the Barbie doll was just staring at me with a smile and a dark background, I'd be pretty freaked out. Keep up the good work!
To gpanipinto4,
Sometimes that happens to me when I read a book or watch a movie. Mostly movies. Nice blog!
i am on page 175 in the book cover-up by john Feinstein. If I were the author I would have changed almost all of it. The tittle is called cover-up mystery of the super bowl. Except all it is two teen reporters and there problems Every now and then they talk about the super bowl between the Indianapolis colts and the Baltimore ravens. I rather it talk more about the actual game and only a little of the reporters problems.
@Sbrown4 awesome job
@cwinberg6 outstanding job
@cwinberg6 outstanding job
@ EYoung2 My friend is reading a James Patterson book also. MY dad told me his books were really good. I should read one of his books soon
My book is Matched by Ally Condie and I'm on page 344. If I was the author I would actually change the whole love triangle theme. I like books that is straight forward when it comes to a "book couple." I don't like the love traingle that much, I like it when the main character know who he/she loves more than love triangle. Although the love traingle add to the drama and suspense in the story I still would change the love traingle theme.
cmcknight4 Awesome blog!
kberry2 Sounds like a pretty awesome book.
I am reading Firefight by Brandon Sanderson, and I am on page 254. If I were the author of this book, I would change nothing. Every part of this book is important to the plot and character development that makes it create, so why change it? I may have chosen different small things, like changed the names of some characters, such as Exel and Mizzy, because they are strange, but nothing more than that. I also might change the name of the city its set in, Newcago, because it just sounds stupid.
Sbrown4: Nice job, those sound like good decisions.
Abkhodr4: Great blog, I would change the speaking too.
I am reading The fifth wave by Rick Yancey and I am on page 453. If I could change something I would change the appearance of a certain character to come sooner. Ben Parish was a boy who the main character was in love with in high school. She fell in love with an alien possessing a human later in the book. I think It would be more interesting to introduce the characters sooner and with more twists.
@Sbrown4 Good job and good detail.
@gpanipinto4 Good job on your blog, I heard it was a good book.
I am reading "The youngest templar" by Michael P. Spradlin and I am on page 230. If I was the author of this book I would have made the main character a little older. Since the main character is so young it is hard for him to fight and hold his battle sword because it is so heavy. If the main character was older there would have been more action and fights through out the book. Also if the main character was older he would be smarter and have made better plans for when him and his friends were in trouble.
amoskalenko5: interesting book
cmcknight4: nice blog!
I am reading Ungifted by Gordon Korman and I'm on page 100. If I was the author of the book I would change the cover of the book. The reason why is because, you cant clearly see the robot, and the title is overlooked. I would also change the main character. The main character Donovan doesn't think he's good at anything, I would make him know what he's good at.
I'm currently reading written by Dan Poblocki and i'm on page 45.If I was the author of this book I would change how the story start out because I would start out what happen for my characters to be going through what they go through so the reader would know and understand how the main character feels this type of way or why they made that action. And the reason I would change that is I want to know how did my main character mother die without getting through the whole story and finding out when they could already tell you so you know that's why the character doesn't want to stay at his aunt's house like in wished they said that in the beginning so you'll be like oooh that's why that happened.
@SBROWN4
GOOD DETAILS
Bmcphadden5 good job on the blog!
@gpanipinto4
SOUNDS LIKE A INTERESTING BOOK
Sbrown4 great job on the blog!
I just started reading The Alchemist, and I'm on page 28. If I were the author I would maybe describe more of the main character's childhood. Otherwise, so far the author has written the book perfectly! My favorite part of the book so far is the message the author sends, because it's a message I often think about. The author talks about people's fate in a way I've never really thought of until I started reading this book, and it's really helping me realize how the smallest things can change even the biggest of events.
The book I am reading is called travel team by Mike Lupica and I am on page 93. One major thing that I would change in this book is all the drama. Some parts of this book had drama. I am not a fan of drama. I would change it into something that hads sports and action together in one book or sports and adventure in one book.
DDALLAS5 great blog keep it up
asizer3 good blog
@RRaisch6 You're book sounds really complicated and crazy. Good blog I totally agree!
The book I am currently reading is After 2 by Anna a Todd, and I am about 50% through it. If I was the author of this book and I would change one thing it would be how much the two main characters fight so much. They are so in love and it's really hard to read all the fights that they have. It's actually quite heartbreaking. So that is definitely something I would change.
@ddallas5 good job !!! sounds interesting
@jperkins5 great work !!
@amountain4 This book sounds...interesting. Good blog haha!
I am reading "scat" by Carl Hiaasen and I am on page 103. If I was the author of the book I would change the tone of the book. The whole book is hard to get into because its so boring. I would have gosh darn explosion every once an a while or I would try to get someone to fight more often. So yeah I would have an action book rather than a boring drama kinda book.
@cweinberg6 nice blog
@sbrown seems like a nice book
I just finished reading Devon Delaney Should Totally Know Better by Lauren Barnholdt. If I was the author of this book, I would change the main character’s personality. I want Devon to be braver than she was before. Then, she would be able to overcome her fears easily. She was afraid of many things and that led her to lie to other people. Eventually in the end, she overcomes it and made good decisions.
@snturner3 Great details!
@rraisch6 I love your book!
Currently I am reading “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins and I am on page number 98. I would probably change how Katniss reacts when she has to go meet up with Cinna and the team. I would make this change by altering how she felt and make her start to freak out when they began to prep her for the chariot ride with Peeta to be addressed by President Snow. I might have also changed up how their outfits look and add my own little, tweaks here and there. But all in all, that is one of the major things I would change if I was the author. If I was a bit farther into the book I might find other points that I want to change up as well.
@snturner3 - man, I really wanna read that book, but I haven't been able to get it
@jsmith4 - coolio, I really loved that book when I read it
The book I am currently reading is "Four' by Veronica Roth, I am on page 85. If I was the author of this book I would make the book much more descriptive. This is a decent book over all, but more details. Also I would have more action in the book. Over all its a decent book.
sbrown4 great blog.
cweinberg6 good work.
I am reading The O'Reilly Factor For Kids by Bill O'Reilly and Charles Flowers and I have finished the book. If I was the author I would not change a thing about the book. The reason why is because it is a great book with lots of helpful information. There is great advise for kids in the book that I really think was good. Never would I change the book.
Nice blog Sbrown4
Great blog NPorrata5!
I'm currently reading "schooled" by Gordan Korman and I am on page 20. If I was the author of my book I would change the school Capricorn Anderson goes to, it is quite a bad school full of bully's it is to unrealistic because there are not that many bully's in middle school every where (Cap) goes he gets bullied for no reason. Elementary school is where most of the bullies are because no one has matured yet at all. Evidence from the book that shows there are bullies all around his school like on page 16 where even the tour guide didn't want to be seen with him ""New kid," I said aloud just in case anybody thought he was actually with me.". MY book is pretty interesting either way though but when my book is realistic fiction I would like it to be more realistic.
@sbrown4 cool blog dolls are creepy I would change the cover too.
@gpanipinto4 good blog i like it better when the book moves fast as long as long as the connection between parts are easy to understand.
I am reading "Small as an Elephant" by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and I am done reading my book. If I was the author of this book I would change the cover of the book. The cover has the title and a small elephant. Since the title is "Small as an Elephant" and everyone knows that elephants are big, I would put in a big elephant. So the readers will laugh about it because the title and the picture doesn't make sense. I think they will have interest about the book and read it. Then many people will read it, and I would make a lot of money.
@Sbrown4 great job!
@jsmith4 good job!!
I am currently reading "Lock & Key" by Sarah Dessen, I am on page 209. If I was the author of this book I would change the way the main character see's herself. The reason why I say this is because the main character is so insecure about herself and her life style she changes the way she acts and she thinks less of herself. This makes the book seem more like it talks about her insecurities instead of the actual situation of the book. Don't get me wrong I still love the book just not exactly everything about it.
@gpanipinto4 That sounds great!
@jsmith4 Great job!
I am page 22 in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. If I was the author of the book I am reading and I could change one thing I would change the characters names. I would change them because I think that Mr. Green could of used better names for the characters. If I wan the author I would probably change them to Maggie and Thomas because I think that those names fit the characters and how the act. That is what I would change in the book if I was the author.
great job on your blog Sbrown4.
good job cmcknight4 keep up the good work.
I just finished the book "Shooter" by Walter Myers. If I was the author of the book, I would change the way the story was told. I would put it in the perspective of the shooter Leo. To show how and what happened in the shooting, and then switch it to the students perspective. I think this would have made the book a little more interesting, then how the author wrote it.
I'm reading The Tomorrow Code by Brian Falkner and on page 253. If I were the author i would change the fact that the main characters got away from the authorities. Or make it so that Zeta (pet) survived an attack from a virus. I would like to make this change because the main characters would not act distraught. Also the main characters would have an easier ending or conclusion without being wanted from the authorities.
Sbrown4: Nice job on your wants and why you would change it.
cweinberg6: Nice reasons of what you want to say.
in My book the First Team by Tim Green and currently on page 15. If I was the author I would change the title of the book from first team to first experience. I would change it because it was a first experience to all the kids to see and play with each other on a field. All the kids didn't know how to work with each other on a team that had just come together. In all the kids worked it out and came together for a wonderful time.
I am reading "The House of Hades" by Rick Riordan and I have finished it. If I was the author of "The House of Hades" I would not change anything about it because in my opinion the author does a great job at it himself. The way he does this is by binding each event with the excellence that comes with each book that he writes.
The book I'm currently reading is Hero by Mike Lupica an I'm on pg 102.
If i was the author of the book i would change the scenery. Instead of the city i would have the setting in a country or calm place. Kind of like Starke,FL.So that the story could be more interesting
Sbrown4.Great job and keep up the good work.
Jsmith4.Great blog .
I am done with my current book but I was reading “Dead Is a Battle Field” by Marlene Perez. If I was the author of my book I would change the fact that there are so many mysteries in the book. This actually makes the book really confusing and I honestly did not like that. The book was an easy read so it was okay with me but I would like a little less mysteries and a little more answers. One detail from the beginning of the book is that, the main characters brother died and they only tell you where but not how. They tell you exactly what happens at the end of the book which didn't make sense to me.
@bmitchelle2 great job on your blog!
@sbrown4 very desciptive! great job
Im reading Al Capone cleans my shirts by Gennier Holden.If i could change one think I would change the criminal to Machine Gun Kelly. MGK is also a big time criminal just like Al Capone, he just seems cooler to me.If i could i would put myself in the book as well. this book is very interesting and i would recommend it.
nice blog @cweinberg6
keep up the good work @gpsnipinto4
My book was Hugo Cabret by Brain Selznick and i'm doing this book still because I don't have an other book. If I were the author of that book I would of put in a plot twist near the end. For example, when he met the old guy I would of put in the twist that it was his grandfather.In my book he always watches this guys toy store an when he's not watching he usually takes stuff. One time he got caught and got chased down by the old guy and throughout the book he gets closer and closer to him.
Sbrown4: Great post!
Cweinberg6: Great job that's awesome book.
I am currently reading The Familiars by Adam Epstein and Andrew Jacobson and I am on page 213. If I was the author I would change that a semi-main character doesn't get killed. I would change this because this character was the teacher of the Familiars' Loyals. I would also change this because he was an important part to the history in the story. I would also change this because its so sad how he was killed in front of his students. I would also add some more humor to the dialogue. I would change this because the story gets has really tense moments and humor would lighten the story's mood. Good job Sbrown4. Amazing job gpanipinto4.
I am on page 123 of the book called "last stand of fox company". If i were the author i wouldn't really change anything. the book is non fiction and so it happened in reality. I also wouldn't want to change it because it is one of the marines greatest victories.the story told how the Vietnamese ambushed 51 marines, and that the marines held of thousands of them and only last a few men.
My book is called witch and wizard by James Patterson I probably wouldn't change a thing.It is a bestseller. It is also pretty awesome I'm on page 40 so far and it is good.If I had to change something it would be the kids choosing to take their parents instead of a drumstick and a book with blank pages. So that the parents could bring them.Now they are trapped with out their parents in a jail cell with a bunch of other kids.
Abedard6 you did great with the details
@rohlendorf2 you did great going into detail
I am reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lighting Thief by Rick Riordan, and I am on page 11. If I was the author of this book, I would change how Percy introduces himself to the reader. He doesn’t really provide an origin story for the reader. He pretty much just tells us his name, age, and how he was a troubled boarding student at Yancy Academy in upstate New York. I would have tried to make it a better origin story, a more descripted one.
Sbrown4
Great Blog!
jsmith4
Sounds Great! :)
I am reading The City Of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau and I am on page 9. I think that so far in the book one thing I would change is explain whats going on better. Of course I'm in just the beginning of the book but so far its a little unclear whats happening. Like when they are talking about school I didn't understand where they are or anything. I would explain the setting better.
@cweinberg6 Good blog!
@gpanipinto Great job.
The book i am reading is the adventures of tom sawyer and i am currently on page 122. If i could change anything in the book i would add the main characters emotional pain. I would add this because it would truly express the characters personality. It would also show how the character reacts under pressure. It would even reveal the characters true self.
nice sbrown4
good job cweinberg6
I am reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke and i am currently on page 10. If I was the author I wouldn't change anything so far. Th author has so many good details in the story.
That makes sense @cweinberg6
@gpanipito i understand i love fast paced books but they need to have a storyline
I just finished the book Million Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica. If I were the author of the book i would have changed only one thing. I would change how Nate gets selected for the throw. He gets selected by being a raffle and winning. I would have chosen a different route like if there was a scout at his game watching and picked him to throw.
Sbrown4: Good blog this week!
NPorrata5: I heard that's a great book.
I am currently reading big Nate on a roll by Lincoln Peirce and i am on page 215. If I was the author of this book I would have changed the setting from the school year to the summer. So that Nate could enjoy his self in the book and not be in trouble. I would also make the book easier for Nate if I was the author. In the book Nate is constantly bullied and is always in trouble.
@sbrown4 Great Job!
@bmitchell2 Nice blog!..
I am reading I AM THE CHEESE a novel by Robert Cormier. If I was the author of my book I would not change much. Actually I would change nothing at all I think the book is great how it is.
@Dgreek that’s pretty funny
@Shern cool
The book I am currently reading is Percy Jackson and the sea of monster rick riodan I am on page 139. One thing that I would change about my book is to introduce more characters in the beginning. I would change this because there is only one character too like page 50.it has character but they don't make sense in the story. When they introduce characters they introduce them all at one time.
good blog sbrown4
goob job cwienberg6
The book that i am currently reading is game changers by mike lupica. i am currently on page 78. if was the author of this book i would change the way how it started with a continuos intro about an outstanding player named ben mcbain.i would make these changes because the book is about a young man who was an underdog looking to make a come up although ben mcbain was his idol.
that is a great idea @sbrown4
the at book sounds great @gpantino4
I am on page 306 and I am reading The Girl In The Mirror by Chrismal Harled.The book is very good I would not change anything in the book.Because the book is based on a true story and I cant change nothing in the book.But even if was not based on a true story i would still not change anything about the book because its a very great book.
cweinberg6 very good blog
sbrown4 nice job
I'm currently reading small as an elephant by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and I'm on page 120. If I could change any thing from my book I would change nothing. I feel that nothing should be change because i think its fine just the way it is. I like how the author has little facts at the beginning of each chapter about elephants. Also how throughout the story jack (the main character) has these flashback when with his mom.
@rohlendorf2 good job explaining in detail
@gpanipinto amazing job this week on your blog!
@sbrown4 i like how you think that you should change the cover to the book.
I'm reading The Kill Order by James Dashner and I'm finished with the book. If I was the author of this book I wouldn't change anything. Honestly, the book is well-detailed , has an exciting plot, and keeps the reader locked in the book. However, the cover of the book should be a bit more detailed but I guess he was letting the story do all the talking. I would've added the bergs that goes flying around shorting people with darts that was filled with some sort of disease to the cover. And maybe the civilians running away from it, that way both the cover and story plot will attract the readers.
Jmiller2 amazing job on your blog, keep it up
Lpozos5 keep up the good work
I am currently reading Harry potter by J.K.Rowling and I am done with it. If I aciuld make any changes to my book I would change how direct it is. Because as a reader I hate that and I know some people do to. I would make this change because I think the story needs to focus in more than just Harry potter. That's why I would make changes to my book.
Great blog
Sounds good
The book I was reading Ghosts of War I finished by Ryan Smithson. The one thing I would change is the amount of pages that don't relate to the story. It's about his life of course but he kind of drifted of the page.Also most of the story was about him in Iraq. Instead of putting emphasis on the ghost of war theme.
@Sbrown4 great job and blog keep it up.
@RRaisch6 great work sounds changeable.
I am reading Daniel X and am currently done with the book. If I could choose one thing to change about my book it would be the ending. The ending of the book is very predictable. Some might say the ending was your "normal fairy tale ending." So Daniel ends up saving everyone and killing alien number 6. I think it would have been better if the author killed Daniel but not actually killed him. Daniel should play dead then sneak up behind him and destroy him.
Nice JOb! @cweinberg6
Great! @gpanipinto
I am reading what happened to goodbye by Sarah Dessen and I am on page 112. If I was the author of this book I would try to organize things more. In some of the chapters I it is hard for me to really understand what the author is trying to say and sometimes I get confused on certain aspects of the book and what the characters mean in certain parts. I would also like to summarize things a little more and get more to the point. I'm more of a blunt person so its kinda hard for me to be kept in suspense for long periods of time and its really frustrating.
@vnelson2 great job
