1 – 200 of 203 Newer› Newest»I am currently finished with the book Once Upon The End by James Riley. This book is very similar to a book series I have read by Chris Colfer. It is similar because they both almost have the same characters in the book and I enjoy reading two books so alike but yet so different. I would recommend this book to anybody because who doesn't love a good Fairy tale?
I am reading Divergent, by Veronica Roth. This book is a lot like Through the Ever Night by Veronica Flawline. It tells of a twisted love story betrayed by the government. A girl named Aria hasn't seen here significant other in a few months. Perry and Aria are in absolute love but cant because of the government stopping them from becoming one. Because of their heritage. They also don't really like Aria very much. But with nothing stopping them they run towards each other, but are stopped by the government again when they try to run away
I am currently reading The time of the witches by Anna Myers, I am on page 147. This book is similar to a series that I watch, is call Salem. They are similar because they have some of the characters that my book has. The book also takes place in Salem, and the story is different but they are alike. This book is really good because Drucilla is an orphan, and her adopted mother is kind of a witch, and her best friend Gabe Matson is accused of witchcraft,and she has to find a way to save him before it is to late.
@hmaestre3 nice book!
@njkeidel03 I love that book!
I am reading Fairy Wings by E.D. Baker, i have finished the book. This book is similar to the movie a Midsummer's Night Dream. Though the plots are different two of the characters are the same. Titania and Oberon the king and queen of the fairies. They only have those two similarities yet the book reminds me of the Shakespearean play that they made into a movie. Both are very funny however and have a underline basis of romance. Another thing they have in common.
Is Divergent really a good book hmaestre3?
Njkeidel03 is that book about?
The book I am currently reading is The Girl He Never Noticed by Neilani Alejandrino and I am on page 39. This book is similar to Work For Me by Rayna Stones. These two books are similar because the main female characters were both poor and they grew up with no father present in their lives. The main character (Jade) in The Girl He Never Noticed and the main character (Louise) in Work For Me both fell in love with billionaires. In both stories, the main male characters were CEOs of a huge company. Jade and Louise were both secretaries and they fell in love with their boss. Both books are very similar, but the plot is very different even though they have some things in common.

Your book seems very interesting and I would love to read it

Good job!
I'm currently reading a book called Stranger In A Strange Island by Maile Meloy and I'm on page 6. So far which isn't really that far I see that this book has a mysterious ,space ,old-timesy vibe to it and that a type of book I haven't read in a long time. So its kinda of a rare fun book to read. This book is more of a book that would be found in a usual found a book store. So over all this book is kinda "one of kinds."
@njkeidel03 Best book in the world!
@@hmaestre03 I love Fairy Tales.
The book I'm currently reading is called fantasy by Mike Lupica. And I'm comparing this book to a book I read called Travel Team. The reason I'm comparing this book is because it both has something to do with a boy trying to get on a team but actually end up making the team.I also am on page 55.
I am reading how to meet boys by Catherine Clark and im on page 15.this book reminds me of the notebook.Its similar because there is a person that doesn't like the relationship that's going to happen or already happening.In the notebook, Allie Hamilton her parents didn't approve of the relation ship she was having with Noah Calhoun because he wasn't wealthy enough.In how to meet boys,Lucy falls in love with her her best friends enemy,it starts to get awkward.Mikayla,lucys best Friend,doesn't approve of their friendship/relationship.
@tdavis3 nice job
@ njkeidel03 sounds like a nice book
I am currently The Watsons go to Birmingham-1963 I am on page 108 and the author is Christopher Paul Curtis. This book has a movie about it but the book gives more detail that the movie. But this book reminds me about the Emmit Till. Even though they where made several years apart. They are the same in a way. They both came from up north were there was no segregation. but down south there was segregation. But the only thing different about this book Emmit Till got killed but Bryon Watson got the cops called on him and they where around the same age.
awilliams2 good job
tdavis3 sounds like a good book
The book i am currently reading is "The love curse of rumbaughs" by jack gantos,the page i am currently on is 20.What i read so far about this book is that it is similar to the disney original movie "Let it Shine".both the book and the movie expressed love and understanding of love.in let it shine the rapper truth had feelings for his friend from grade school.in the story the love curse has similar problem a young man had a crush on a friend of his name ivy.also in both story and movie they got the girl.
@DR.ivera thanks for the comment and your book seems very interesting i love old-timely books
@accook i love Salem its very interesting and insightful I might read that book
I'm currently reading Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, and I am on page 372. My book is similar to almost all love stories and movies. I think this because its all so predictable other than the fact that I've seen the movie. Anyone could predict the ending of this book. It's all the same thing: the guy gets the girl, they both think they're not good enough for the other one. There all the same.
hmaestre3: I agree with you.
njkeidel03: I've always wanted to read that book I just never got to it.
The book I am reading is titled the “House of Dark Shadows” by Robert Liparulo and I am on page 293. This book is similar to the movie “The Maze Runner”. In the Maze runner the main character Thomas is tasked with trials and many blocked pathways that lead to mysterious places. Well, just like in the “Maze Runner”, my main character, Xander, finds long hallways and doors that lead to random areas. Similarly, to the movie “The Maze Runner” Xander has lost something just like Thomas did in the movie. Thomas lost his name and his friends while Xander lost his mother and grandmother. One of the last reasons my book is like the movie “The Maze Runner” is because in the movie there is a bigger power over all the maze. In my book There is a bigger power controlling the house.
@hmaestre3 Great blog. I really enjoyed it!
@accook You did an outstanding job!
The book i am currently reading is the hunger games by Susan Collins I'm currently on page 201.The movie my book is similar to is divergent by veronica roth they are Similar because they both have girls that are rebeling against their leaders.Another way my book is similar to divergent is they take place in futuristic America. Another way my book is similar to divergent because both of the girls have a crush on the guy they are with.My last reason my book is similar to diverent is both of the women are very in their society.
Nice blog cmcknight4
Good job emasio6
I am reading "Enclave" by Anne Aguire and I am on page 217. My book is similar to many books and movies because a zombie like creature isn't exactly original but this is the only one I have seen that shows the generation that has grown up with them. The humans have adapted in their reflexes and strength and they are also living underground. I would have to say my book mostly resembles "The Walking Dead" because it shows life after and how people have to adapt to survive.
@hmaestre3 good job
@njkeidel03 great details
I am currently reading Under Dogs by Mike Lupica and I am on page 51. This book is similar to the movie Sandlot. They're alike because the teams in both scenarios are going through the same thing- no field or official team to play on. They are both considered "underdogs" and had little hope. The main character in my book struggles to find a sponsor for their local football team and all the children give up, just like the kids in the Sandlot. Also, both have a star player who's a girl.
hmaestre3, nice job!
accook, good job!
I am currently reading the book "Wolven" by Di Toft, page 50. This book is similar to this other book I read. I cannot remember the name, but I remember the contents of the book. The book has a werewolf that is being hunted just like in this book. Most of the time, werewolves are hunted by the government. In both stories, the werewolf is accompanied by a companin that helps them throughout their journey.
@njkeidel03
Great blog!
@hmaestre3
Love your post.
I'm currently reading the book Fight for Power by Eric Walters and on page 64. My life is nothing like the book i'm reading. In this book the entire world has turned into a dystopia. A place where anything related to a computer doesn't work anymore, a world where nearly anything is useless. The world the main character of the book (Adam) is plunged into chaos and violence. My world is all order and peace with each other. A couple of things that are similar is that both are just trying to progress or just go forward in life. Staying with friends and family. Also attempting to trust others and meet new people. For example the Main character Adam is trying to live and i'm trying to finish this blog very early.
hmaestre3: Good job on the similarities.
njkeidel03: Amazing book to compare on.
I finished reading fang by James Patterson. It is similar to Daniel x which is a similar story. Daniel x is a series that includes a team of teens fighting and trying to save the world. Similar to The series fang is in.
These books are written by the same author but are different book series.
@njkeidel103 Good job on your blog
@accook good job
I am currently reading The Angel Experiment by James Patterson,I am on pg.25. This book is similiar to Captain America the movie and comic books because it involves experiments. Captain America is about a super soldier made by the government. Both have experiments. The angle experiment is about an experiment on humans, which it made them 98% human and 2% Avian DNA.
Nice job hmaestre3.
Nice Job njkeidel03.
I am currently reading IQ by Roland Smith and I am on page 132.
This book is like the 007 movies and novels because it has secret agent stuff and has backstabbing characters. These characters sometimes are really sneaky. In the story they join a secret agency due to the news their mom might actually be alive.
I am currently reading the book The Watcher by Joan Hiatt Harlow and i am on page 11. This book is kind of similar to a movie i watched called the watch. The reason it is similar is because in the movie a young girl gets kidnapped and raised as a child of her kidnappers. In my book basically the same thing is happening.
great blog hmaestre3 keep it up
tdavis3 your book sounds interesting great job.
I am reading “What the Dog Said” by Randi Resifeld, I am currently on page 50. This book is somewhat like a book I read called “The House of secrets”. It’s kind of like that book because they both have something to do with a nonhuman thing talking. In “What the Dog Said”, obviously a dog is talking. In “The House of secrets”, there is a flower talking. Both of the main characters in these books think they’re becoming crazy also.
@rcortes5 good job.
@tfoye6 nice blog, keep up the good work!
I am reading the third book of the MerTales series, Everlost, by Brenda Pandos, and I am on page 16. There are two movies and a tv show I can particularly think of that relate to my book. Those would be the movie, Aquamarine, Splash, and the tv show H2O: Just Add Water. All of these and my book are about mermaids, but the movies and the tv show all have mermaids and one specific thing that relates to my book. In Everlost, there is passionate love, drama, and the main characters are all in their teens. In the movie Splash, there is romance, in H2O there is drama, and in Aquamarine the main characters are all teens.
@njkeidel03 Lovely blog!
@hmaestre3 I like the title of your book, it kind of gives me a glimpse into what the book could be about. Sounds deep, I like it.
I'm on page 31 in a book called Secrets in the shadows by Anne Schraff. The book reminds me of the movie Menace to Society. So far the book has introduced a girl named Korie. She is new at Buford high and Roylin is trying to impress her by buying her a $250 dollar necklaces for her birthday. He has stole money from a neighbor. In the movie the main character is always trying to show off and he pays a ladies bill she she would like him. And so far its Working out for both of the guys. They each got the girls they want.
@hmaestre3. good job. i love that book
@awillams2 sounds good.
The title of my book is Brooklyn Bride Karen Hesse and I am currently on pg.#69. This book is kinda similar to my last book first team because it also tells how my character goes through hard and tough things just to get to one thing. In first team it said that the character broke is arm and leg in the same season but he still participated to come out to the games and get better to play. In my new book the character goes through things because her mom died while she was just 6 years old but she still try to push to get what she needs and what she wants to succeed. Both of these characters push their hardest to succeed in life because they know how life can be and what could happen in life. I feel like these stories try to tell a message about life and I think the message would be do what you can in life because life can be a pain sometimes.
acook did good on blog

The book i am currently reading is, "Daniel X" by: James Patterson, I am on page 174. This book is not like any other books or movies I've ever seen. This book is very unique. I think this book is fascinating in the way that it produces the story line. It tells it in a way you can understand. Normally i don't like reading, or i only like reading good books. The only other books I've read that made me feel this way were the percy jackson series. This book finally made me feel the same way. I would really recommend this book, it is very interesting.
@Ddallas5
cool blog.
@Rcortes5 good job on your blog
I am currently reading "Small as an Elephant" by Jennifer Jacobson and I am on page 101. This book, I believe, is pretty similar to the book "The Fault in Our Stars". In both books, the main characters have a few problems they have to get through. They learn to get through them on their own. Both books indicate the importance of learning to be independent through tough situations. Throughout both books, the main characters gradually become more and more mature and responsible. "The Fault in Our Stars" reminds me of the book that I am reading very much.
|@njkeidel03 : Great blog entry! |
|@kberry2 : Wonderful response! |
I am reading “Life in Motion” by Misty Copeland, and I am on page 20. This book is a different type of book for me, so I’ve never really read any books quite like this one. It’s an autobiography about Misty Copeland and her journey to being the wonderful ballerina she is now. I have seen a movie like this book, though. When I was younger I saw a movie about a girl struggling to be a dancer because of issues in her life and everyone doubting her in whatever she tried to do, but later regretted it when she became a dancer who was quite popular and she didn’t want anything to do with them. In the book Misty tells her story of having to overcome the odds, just like in the movie.
@PBennis2 great job!
@tdavis3 amazing work!
I am currently reading “Hoot” by Carl Hiassen, and I am on page 18. This book is very similar to another story I read by the same author. I think the name of the book was flushed. The book was about a kid and her sister growing up in Florida with their dad on house arrest. The connections I can make in the books is that they both are about kids who grow up in Florida. It also seems like they grew up in the same city near the Everglades.
@aacook, Nice response. It looks like you got a good grade on it.
@tdavis3, The book sounds interesting!
I am currently reading “Jessica Darling’s it list 2” by Megan Mccafferty I am on page 3. The only thing I can think of that compares to my book is Dork Diaries because in my book basically everything is going wrong for Jessica and she has a cool perfect older sister. This is like “Dork Diaries “because it has kind of like the same characters. The main character in both books have an issue and keep diaries and both have someone that annoys them in their life. But they are also similar because both books have a lot of drama in both books drama between friends is the main conflict.
great blog @hmaestre3
sounds good @accook
I am currently reading Chomp by Carl Hiaasen and am on page 54. This book reminds me of a show called “Survivor Man” because the man Derek is on a show called “Expedition Survival!” and he is supposed to be all alone but he fakes the whole thing. In “Survivor Man” the main person doesn’t fake the show but he does some similar things such as eating bugs. Both shows also have to fight wild animals sometimes. In most survival shows the main character has an accent that is Australian and both the book I am reading and the TV show have an accent.
@njkeodel03 Good job!!
@accook Nice!
I am currrently reading Darkness by dawn by Sharon M. Draper. I am on page 67. My book is like the movie There's a thin line between love and hate. In the movie theirs a women that meets a man and she falls in love with him. The two go on dates and she buys him really nice things. It turns out that the lady is crazy about her exes leaving her. In my book this high school girl falls in love with a grown man that's in college. The two date secretly for a little while. He buys her gifts and takes her out but then one day he does something really bad to her.
@hmaestre3
Great job on your blog!
@njkeidel03
Great job on your book!
I am currently reading Enders by Lissa Price and I am on page 120. My book is kind of like the other in it series "Starters". It has some of the same terms like Starters, Enders, and Middles. it also has the same kind of plot the main character must stop an evil company from using other peoples bodies. It is the same kind of genre as well, Sci-fi.
Good job njkeidel03
Great job hmaestre3
I am reading Chosen Ones by Tiffany Truitt and I am on page 163. This book is very similar to the book Glitch by Heather Anastasiu. It is alike because they are both about governments with too much power over the people. Also, both books have people who are not really "people". They can not feel emotions like regular people do and they have powers. Both main characters have to make a choice between what makes them happy, and what their people need in the long-run.
tdavis3: Good blog!
krtodd: Great job!
I am currently reading confederate spies by John Bakeless, and I am on page 64. This book is similar to a book called behind enemy lines. Both of these books are broken up into different stories about spies in various wars or parts of wars. They also have multiple quotes from generals and presidents highlighting key ideas in the stories. Although the situations the spies in the stories find themselves in are different, the way the books up and how the author tells the stories are similar.
YOU DID WELL!
accook
indeed
I am currently reading the book called The Lions of Little Rock and I am on page 61. This book is similar to the movie about Martin Luther King Jr. that I watched in class. The movie is also related to segregation of the black and white people. This book and the movie both reflexed how people thought about the issue of segregation. In this book, the main character thinks that segregation is a big problem, but other people avoid the black and white people being together.
@bmephadden5 Great details!
@oyakel4 Good job!
I am currently reading Fool Me Twice by Mandy Hubbard and I just finished reading the book. This book is very similar to The Clique. Fool Me Twice is about a girl named Mackenzie, she dated Landon, but he dumped her for Natalie. Then he hits his head really hard when he was riding his horse and gets amnesia. When he gets amnesia, he still thinks he and Mackenzie are dating and she uses this as an advantage to get revenge on him. In The Clique, one of the girls, Chloe, gets revenge on her ex-boyfriend Justin when he wants to get back together with her. When they get back together, she is secretly polting revenge on how to get him back.
@DRivera6 amazing job at your blog
@JKim4 That sounds like a really good book! I should recommend that book to my friend
I am reading The Raft by Stephanie Stuve-Bodeen and I am on page 52. This book is similar to the book, Doll Bones which is written by Holly Black. I read this book for the 3rd IR project. The book "The Raft" is about a girl going on an adventure, she travels around. Also, the book "Doll Bones" are about kids who go on an adventure and move around. These two books have similarities that it is about going on an adventure.
@njkeidel03 Great job! I wan't to read that book!
@RRaisch6 Good job! It's interesting!
I am currently reading The 100 Day 21 by Kass Morgan, which is the sequel to The 100, and I am on page 107. This book has multiple aspects that are similar to other books, such as a corrupted government or lovers that can’t be together, but these are very common plots. Other than a few ideas and events that are common in most stories in order to create drama, this book is original. I am thankful for this because I have read books before that seem like exact copies of other books I’ve read, and it is very irritating to me. This book is also post-apocalyptic, and usually post-apocalyptics are very similar to each other, but the author did a good job of keeping her story unique despite this.
tdavis3: Nice job
clynch2: Good blog
I currently reading Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers and I am on page 296. This book is a lot like the movie Full Metal Jacket. MY book is set in Vietnam just like the movie and follows a young soldier around who is not used to war. Also in the movie and in the book it tells the missions that a squad as to endure during the war. It also has issues about killing because neither character has killed anybody so far.
good blog @rcortes5
nice job @qdjames4
I am reading Paper Things by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and I am on page 127.This book is very similar to another book I read called One for the Murphy's. They are similar because the characters both don't have permanent home. There also a little different because in my current book there mom died, in my old book her mom is abusive and sick. Both the main characters names are the same.
hmaestre3 great job on the blog!
njkeidel03 good job on the blog!
I am currently reading the book Wolves of the Beyond #1 by Kathryn Lasky and on page 57. This book isnt similar to any of the books iv read. But this is kinda similar to the movie Twilight. Its similar because they both include wolves in the story.
The book i am currently reading is "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. I am currently on page 12 because i just started it yesterday i think. A movie that is similar to this book is the new Superman movie because it creates cells that create children. Another reason superman is similar is because in the book your fate is chosen for you. Another movie i have seen related to this book is Divergent, because the book takes place in a utopian society and one person crashes the whole system and then there is chaos.
@hmaestre3 congrats on finishing your book!
kberry2 since your reading fairy wings it reminds me of a mid summer nights dream
The Book I'm reading is called the big feild by Mike Lupica and I'm on page 28. Their is no book that I have reading that is smiliar to the book I'm reading. But their is a movie called The Rokkie Of The Year that it is simliar to the book I'm reading. Both start out with the main character playing baseball for his school. But then brcomes a major league basebaal player.
ncrawford6 Great job on the blog
cmcknight4 Great job on the blog
I am reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth, and I am currently on page 86. This book is very similar to the movie The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. They are similar because the main characters are girls who are rebelling against their government. Also the main villains in both the book and the movie need the main character for a specific and evil purpose. They also take place in the future with different technology that hasn’t been invited yet today.

I am currently reading "The Alchemyst" by Michael Scott, and I am on page 168. My book is similar to a few movies I have seen in the past, but I can't recall the name of the movies. My book, and the movie are similar because they both use brewing potions in their concept. In the movie a few witches can make potions that they can put on people so they age faster. In my book the person who makes potions is Nicholas Flamel who brewed a potion that lets him live forever. My book isn't similar to many things though it is quite unique and has a interesting story line.
@hmaestre3 That's a weird title for a book, I am guessing you read a fantasy. Good blog.
@accook The time of the witches sounds like a similar book to mine I should read it
I am currently reading Scat by Carl Hiaasen and I'm on page 59. This book, I have noticed, is similar to The Dead and Buried by Kim Harrington. The story is very different but the genre is similar: mystery and romance. Nick likes Marta but at the same time, Nick is trying to figure out the mystery of the disappearance of Ms. Starch. The same thing happens with Jade in The Dead and Buried: Jade likes Donovan but at the same time, she is also trying to figure out who killed Kayla Sloane?
To njkeidel03,
Oh, I just love romance! Keep up the good work!
To tdavis3,
Wow! I would have never expected that! Love your blog!
My Book Is Called The Bully, By Paul Langan And Im On Page 109. I Have Not Read Any Other Books Like This But I Have Seen A Movie With A Lot Of Bullying. The Movie I Seen With Bullying Was Friday. The Similarities That The Book And The Movie Have Is Of Course Bullying. The Bully In The Book Is Named Tyray And The Bully In The Movie Is Deebo. They Go Around And Make Everyone Feel Miserable And Sad About Themselves. They Fight People And Try To Kill People. The Victims Of The Bullying In The Story Is Derrell And The Victim Of The Movie Is Craig. Craig And Derrell They Fight Off The Bully.
My book is EON by Alison Goodman and I'm on page 57. I think this book is simillar to the third book of the Tiger's Curse series, Tiger's Voyage. The third book has to deal with Chinese myths and so does EON, also I think the main character traits are also simillar. In Tiger's Voyage Kelsey, the main character has to get past four dragons for the Goddess and in EON she has to deal with dragon(s) as well. I think the main characters are simillar because they're both determined and stubborn.
amountain4 Awesome Blog!
snturner3 Great Blog, keep up the good work!
I am reading "Wolves of the beyond" by Kathryn Lasky and I am on page 13. I'm not too far into the book but so far this book reminds me of the series "The youngest templar" because of how to character acts. Although in this book the main character is a wolf and in the youngest templar the main character is a human, they make similar choices. They both are being hunted down so they both run and try to hide from whoever is hunting them. Also the thing hunting the wolf will stop at nothing to capture her, just like in the youngest templar how the man name Sir Hugh will stop at nothing to capture Tristan. Im guessing since they are making some of the same choices they will make similar ones through out the book.
njkeidel03: interesting book
I am currently reading caught by Margaret Peterson i`m on page currently on page 78.This book is about time travel and I know that's something popular in books and movies. The only movie about time travel I saw was Mr. Pebody. Mr. Pebody went back in time the same years as they did in caught. also both had problems witch involved going through time.
I'm currently reading waiting for normal written by Leslie connor and I am on page 73.And I think my book is similar to killing a mocking bird because they have almost the same attitudes and problems.Plus in killing a mocking bird he goes through a lot dealing with his father and he doesn't have his mom and in waiting for normal she stays with her ex step dad which she kind of having a thought on where she stays at.And both books have tells the life of the characters and how the adapt to where they moved and how they progress with the people they stay with.And my book is a little similar to a lifetime movies I saw where a girl moves with her step mom where she has a step sister who is rude and my book has a lot of that action through the beginning of the story.
cbascom6: I remember reading that book, it's a really interesting book
Good blog.
Good detail's in blog.
I am currently reading Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl and I am on page 24. I think this book is really similar to Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. These are similar because they both take place in small towns and are revolved around a new girl in town. Also, everything that is going on with this new girl in Beautiful Creatures is really mysterious. I think that both stories will be similar especially because of the word "creatures" in the title.
@amountain4 Carl Hiaasen is amazing author, I suggest you read Scat.
@njkeidel03 Through the Ever Night seems really good, I might read it. Nice blog!
The book I am currently reading is called "Scorpia" by Anthony Horowitz, I am also on page 51. A book I have read that is similar to mine in a way is called "Double or Die" By Charlie Higson. Scorpia is about a boy named Alex who heard his father was in a organization named 'Scorpia' so he began to look for his father. The book 'Double or Die is about a professor named Alexis gets kidnapped while he is tracing a tombstone. Although he gets kidnapped he leaves behind a piece of paper with which he was tracing. James Bond the main character begins to look for him after he discovers Alexis is missing.
njkeidel03, Through the Ever Night sounds like a very good book by your description.
tdavis3, that books sounds like something I might consider reading.
I am currently reading Into the Killing Seas by Michael Spradlin and I am on page 30. This book is similar to the movie "Unbroken". The reason why is because both of the main characters are in the army. Also it looks like the main character will get stuck in the ocean like in "Unbroken". The other reason is because in "Unbroken" they get attacked by sharks, that happens in this book too.
Good blog hmaestre3
Well done tdavis3
I am currently reading Sunrise over Fallujah by Walter Myers I am currently on page 45. This book is not like anything I've read before it is a book about war and family. But I have seen movies and TV shows very similar to my book. I watched a movie called jarhead that reminds me of my book. Because it is in a war based setting.
@ njkeidel03
Aye good job on the blog.
@accook3
Nice job on the blog keep the good work up.
I am currently reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by lewis Carroll, I am on page 30. My book was made into a movie, but in the book version the characters are more explicit and seem to be a darker theme. My book and the movie are the same in the plot and the characters, but the book goes into more detail.
njkeidel03 nice details

I am currently reading "Everlost" by Neal Shusterman and I am on page 114. This book is about an afterlife that nobody would of ever thought of going too. The reason why I say this is because everyone has somewhere that their mind is set on going after you die but in this book children are stuck somewhere they weren't planning on being after their death. I honestly couldn't think of anything this book is similar to because the idea of the book is something nobody has ever thought of or really cared to think about. If anything this book is one of a kind.
@tdavis3 Great similarity's!
@cmcknight4 Great job!
I am currently reading the Apothecary by Maile Meloy and I'm on page 62. I think for the most part my book is unique but t does seem to be like harry potter. The reason why it's like Harry potter is that it's about magic users in England trying to keep themselves a secret. It is still unique because my main character's parents aren't dead and there's no special school for the magic users. All in all I think they are very similar yet have a lot of differences and I like that.
good blog hmaestre3
keep up the good work njkeidel3
I am currently reading Variant by Robinson Wells, and I am on page 50. A movie that is similar to this book is Toy Soldier. Toy Soldier is about kids that got trapped in a school by terrorist. In Variation a kid is trapped in a school that is surrounded by razor-wire fences. In both Toy Soldier and Variation the main character is trapped in a school by someone or something.
Nice comparison hmaestre3
Nice job accook
Currently I am reading The Red Pyramid by Rick Riodan, I am on page number 195, and it reminds me of most fiction books because there is a set hero/heroine and then a ‘villain’. More specifically it reminds me of Harry Potter because of the magical elements to it. Both books/ series have shapeshifting and spell casting, although in The Red Pyramid it’s a bit more complex than waving your wand around. It’s also similar because of how people can shapeshift into animals in both books. Plus most fiction books tend to have the same predictable base of the plot and most of the time it ends with the hero/heroine saving the day and defeating the villain.
@clynch2 - that sounds like it would be a pretty cool book
@amountain4 - I loved that book when I read it
I am currently reading The Champions By TIM GREEN and I'm currently on page 25. Yes this book is like all others I've read because it's about football. No I'ts not similar to a movie I've watched but yes to a book sense I'ts about football. This book is about so far the main character and him for football. And he's playing for his team for the championship.

I am reading Hide and Seek by Katy Grant. It does not exactly remind me of anything too much except the movie Earth to Echo. I never finished this movie but I watched probably about a quarter and it has a lot of similar elements. In the book the main character looks for a geocache witch you ca locate on a gps, in the movie they find a gps signal and look for it. Also in both of the stories they ride there bikes and while reading the book I imagine it in a desert situation like the movie and on the book cover it is in a desert area. The only big difference I can think of is that in the book the main character is alone.
@kberry2 Good job for finishing already!
@njkeidel03 Sounds like a cool book.
The book I am currently reading is “All Fall Down” by Ally Carter, I am on page 115. This book isn’t similar to any of the other books I have read. It is a very unique book that is going to keep you guessing. The only thing about this book that is similar to the other books I have read is the wording. The same words are used and it’s not too hard to understand.
hmaestre3 nice work.
njkeidel3 good job.
I'm currently reading The Maze Runner by James Dasher, and I'm currently on page 60. This book is similar to the book "Wild Man Island," in Wild Man Island, the main character Andy slips away from his kayaking group and gets stranded on an island with a wild man, at the same time, he was trying to get information about the place where his dad died. Likewise, in The Maze Runner, the main character Thomas gets stranded in a unknown location, where he can't remember anything about himself but his name, and throughout the story he starts regaining his memory back.
aachristian4:Great job!
cmcknight4:Nice blog!
The book I am currently reading is After 3 by Anna Todd, and I am about 50% through it. This book is similar to a movie I watched called Remember When. They both half a relationship with lies, un-supporting parents, and love. They also have their differences as well but as a whole they are quite alike. Both the book and the movie are great and I highly recommend them.
@jsmith4 great job !! keep up the good work
@jritter2 nice !! sounds interesting
The book i am reading is the Darth paper strikes back by Tom Angleberger. This book is very similar to the strange case of the origami yoda because it has the same characters. It also has the random drawings on the pages as if some teenager drew all over it. These books have instructions on how to make certain origami's. Both of the plots rely on the origami's influence.
great work hmaetre3
nice job njkeidelO3
I am currently reading "Big Nate Strikes Again" by Lincoln Peirce and I am currently on page 47.This book is very similar to the book series i read by Jeff Kinney. It is similar because they both are about a boy who goes to school and faces many problems along the way. Although at the same time they both go on very great adventures along the way.if you like the author Jeff Kinney i would suggest reading this book.
@Kberry2 great job
@tdavis3 nice blog@!
I'm currently reading The Scorch Trails by James Dashner, I'm on page 46. The book I'm currently reading is just like a book I have read before because it's a sequel to another book. It's a sequel to The Maze Runner which was a survival type book, both books have to do with them being held in a place where a disease breaks out. And both are part of a survival test by the same people (WICKED), except this book takes place in a confined place while the other was in a maze. Also in both books they trying to find answers to why they going through these tasks.
Aachristian4 great details
Cmcknight4 great blog keep up the work
I am currently reading "Elephant Run by Roland Smith, and i am on page 121. My book is similar to a movie i watched called "American Sniper". The reason it is similar is because they both have a lot of war conflict in the them and they're both about boy having to leave his mom to go fight.
@hmaestre3. great job!!
njkeidel03.. nice work!
good job @jlennon4
nice work @njlewis4
I am reading Holes by Louis Sachar, and I am on page 16. This book is different than many books. It is similar to any book about juvenile kids. There is a movie about the book named Holes too. Holes is a good book because it is so different.
hmaestre3: Is Once Upon the End a fascinating book?
njkeidel03: I loved divergent.
i am currently reading "the Miserable Mill", by Lemony Snicket and am on pg.91. No, this book does not remind me of any movie or book that i have ever seen or read. But i did have a freind that his parents died in a fire. he never really got to meet them though because he was only a baby at the time that it happened. He did not get coaght in the fire because his parents were out and they had hired a babysister to watch after him.
WOW! dsmith4 Great example!
abkhodr4 Great job! i love that book.
The book I’m reading is secrets in the shadow by Anne Schraff and I’m on page 9. This book is kind of like the movie juice. The reason why because it’s about four friends. Out of the four friends, one is keeping a secret that they all know about but they can’t tell no one out of their circle. It’s different because in the movie juice the four friends all do crimes and things but in the book only one of the four only one does crimes.
@njkeidel03 I love that book!
@hmaestre3 nice book!
I am currently reading Atlantia by Ally Condie and I am on page 70. No, this book does not remind me of any other book or movie because this book is based on being underwater. A city of people live underwater in a place called Atlantia. This book is basically like a drama/ mystery/ suspense. I have never read any book that the setting is based underwater or people living under water.
nice blog! @ddallas5
Write more next time. @mmoss6
Eldest. By Christopher paolini pg.436 period 2
Eldest is a lot like lord of the rings. Some of the things they have in common are , there are elves. Along with dwarf ,and dragons. In both the movie lord of the rings and the book eldest the main character wants to fight off an evil ruler and take back what is theirs. Also in both of them they are set in the same time period and a lot of the things are in common having to do with the living style. Both main characters have help from magic users and they both win in the end.
good job. @hmaestre3
cool @njkeidel03
I was reading a book called Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz. The book that I was reading is not similar to any movies that I can remember. But it is in the same series as the last book i read by Anthony Horowitz. I would recommend this book to anyone who every wished that they were going to be a spy. But i do enjoy this book, alot this might be the best book I ever read.
Sounds like a nice book, i might get that next time @DDallas5
Sounds interesting @TDavis3
I am currently reading Perfect Season by Tim Green and I am on page 56. This book is similar to the other books in this series. All of them have the same characters in them. They also are all about football. Also, in every one of these books in the series, there is a new conflict and obstacle that the characters have to get over.
@hmaestre3 Nice Blog!
@accook Keep up the good work!
I am currently reading The Abduction by John Grisham and I'm on page 51. There is a similar book by the same author, it's the first book of Theodor Boone:The Kid Lawyer. The reason why is because the one of the main characters always have something bad happen to her in both books and this character is named April. The first book, her family is in a bad situation where April doesn't know what to do and the second be she is abducted .
Wonderful job on completing your blog Tjohnson4.
Jwitter6, great job on answering your blogs.
The book i am reading is called Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham, and i'm on page 91. This book is different from anything i have ever read or watch. In the book this lid that's like 13 years old is friends with judges and court officers, and his mom and dad are lawyers. Also he has a friend that's illegal immigrants and he doesn't know what to do, if he tell someone his friend could get deported. Should he tell his mom and dad?
hmaestre3 my aunt has read that book before.
njkeide103 there is a tv show about that book.
The book I m currently reading is called Fantasy League by Mike Lupica and I'm also on page 71. This book Is similar to a TV show I watch called Bernie Mac. This reminded of the book because when Mac's Nephew played football but never got in the game.But some how got in as a backup a couple of times. And that's the similarities.

Nice job keep up the good work.

good job that book sounds interesting
I’m reading the midnight love by Ellen M and I’m on page 230. My opinion is that my book is like a movie called scream, because my book has a lot of scary stuff in them like killings. Similar to the movie scream. This book also has funny and hilarious parts in it and the movie does as well. In the book a group of teenagers hang out and when the clock strikes midnight at lease on teen was murdered. And in the movie a group of teens was also murdered. This is why I think the book Midnight love and the movie scream is so much alike.
@kberry2 great work on your blog.you really made since and it is great your reading somthing similar to what we are learing in class
@tdavis3 outstanding job on your blog , your book sound interesting and you gave good detail about your book and how its similar to your movie.
I am reading Camp Confidential by Melissa Morgan and I'm currently on page 28. This book reminds me of the movie high school musical because it has a lot a drama. This book also reminds me of high school because eventually everyone come together and gets along.I'm pretty sure i could've picked a better movie but I don't watch many movies.I enjoy this book any recommend it.
nice blog @hmaestre3
keep up the good work @accook
I am currently reading Hero by Mike Lupica and i'm on page 189. My book, Hero, is about a boy who's parents died, and he later finds out that they were superheros. This plot reminds me of Harry Potter. His parents die, he finds out his parents secret identity, and his parents had special powers. The only difference is that in Harry Potter they were wizards, but in Hero they were superheros.
hmaestre3: Great book!
njkeidel03: My sister is reading that book. It sounds good.
I'm reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and i'm on page 50. Frankenstein is a very unique book, or at least it was when it was written. Since the book has been written however, many authors/artists have recreated the story with their own twists. Often, these new mixes on Frankenstein either take Frankenstein's monster and put it in their settings or change Frankenstein and his monster into different characters. One example I can think of is the Disney movie, Frankenweenie with a kid who brings his dog back from the bed. Good Job Tim Burton, you creepy weirdo.
@njkeidel03 It's funny how those books are similar along with the authors names! Great blog!
@hmaestre3 Good blog! Next time make sure it's at least 5 sentences though.
@hmaestre3 Good blog! Next time make sure you make it at least 5 sentences.
I am reading "Bystander" by James Preller and am on page 85. The book is similar to other books I have read in small ways. I read a book called "Hoot", the characters were similar, there was the leader, the weird one, the weasel, the outcast/main character, and the girl who has feelings for the main character. It also relates to many other books, it's based around real life problems. It also focuses around a group of kids at school, that is similar to many books such as Frindle, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and shows like Malcolm in The Middle.
@njkeidel03 Good job
@aacook Good job
hmaestre3 Good job. You're very descriptive.
accook That sounds like a good book.
I am reading the book "Courage for Beginners" by Karen Harrington and I am on page 85. My book is similar to a book I have previously read called "The Book of Elsewhere". These books are similar because the main characters are very curious. They are also both very suspisious of other people including their neighbors. The main characters also have very active imaginations in both stories. They both make up situations in their heads to make their real life seem better.
I have just began reading Double Dutch by Sharon M. Draper and I am on page 11. No it's not like any other books I have read because I'm still at the begging.It's not similar to any movies I have watched either.
I’m currently reading “How I survived bullies, broccoli, and snake hill” by James Patterson, I’m on page 47. My book as a whole wouldn’t really have any comparison to my other books I’ve read or movies I’ve seen because I usually read sports books and watch scary or comedy movies. This book is about camp and how Rafe got through it. The books I’ve read are usually about how the characters in the book became better athletes. The movies just about random things that are funny or scary.
Hmastere3 good job!
Kberry2 good job!
Well i'm reading the necromancer by Micheal Scott and i'm on pg 32 and i half to say I've never read a book like this one. let alone watch a movie but if i had to say the closest thing to the book is probably the sorceress apprentice with Nicholas cage mostly because the name of one the characters in the book. iv'e never read a book like it its such fun to read.
I am reading Fish in a Tree by Linda Hunt an i'm on page 25. This book is a lot like One For the Murphy"s. In One For the Murphy's the girl is an out of place foster child who does not really find her intelligence. Fish in a Tree the girl isnt really aware that she isn smart and is looked down upon academically like the other girl. The both girls share similar interest and stories.
Nice job hmastre3! Can tell you put a lot of work into the blog.
Good job kberry2, I can tell that you really comprehend the book!
I'm currently reading Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan, and I'm on page 124. This book is similar to the movie Mean Girls. One way they are similar is in the book the main character is in high school, and has to deal with all the typical high school drama. That includes getting back stabbed by the people you think you know, dealing with rumors, and alining yourself with powerful people. All these things happen in Mean Girls as well.
tdavis3 great job on the blog!
hmaestre3 great job on the blog, And i agree fairy tales are great!
I am currently reading the book Wicked by Sara Shepard. This book is like a TV show but that's partly because that's the series made for it. Another TV show it reminds me of is "Ghost Whisperer" and the reason for that is because its got a mystery aspect to it that reminds me of the Pretty Little Liars series. like in one of the episodes of ghost Whisperer a ghost was stalking the main character Melinda. She couldn't see him at first but he was doing stuff that made him noticed like he possessed her husband Sam and made him do crazy things. That's what reminded me of Pretty Little Liars because it was mysterious and it was like the ghost was stalking her.
@njkeidel03 I love Divergent!!!
@kberry2 Great job!!
I am reading Snap Decision by Nathan Whitaker and am currently on page 47. This book is very unique compared to the books I've read. To be honest I haven’t read that many but the ones I have read weren't anything like this one. I've read books about football before but there is something this book has that the others don’t have. For example, like the plot of the story, in Snap Decision the main character wants to be on varsity but still haven’t been moved up. In the other football books I've read the main character is always getting the position he deserves. Another thing about this book is that it’s very foreseeable. I remember I was reading and I literally called what coach was going to say to Chase. Lastly, the two best friends live next to each other with the same amount of people in the family and each the same genders.
Nice @RRaisch6
Beautiful @RAbram2
I am currently Reading Nest By Esther Elwich And Im On Page 36. This book reminds me of this one movie i saw called Forest Gump. The main character of Forest Gump is mentally retarded however. But the story is still alot alike, people try to bully them. In the Nest Chirp the main character is picked on about her religion. Forest is made fun of for is condition. So all in all they are pretty similar
njkeidel03... Nice blog keep it up
accook... Your book sounds interesting
Good job @hmaestre
Good job @Awilliams
I am currently reading the book Ungifted by Gordon Korman, I am on page 111. This book is somewhat similar to the movie The Blind Side. The movie was about a kid who went to a new school and didn’t really fit in. In Ungifted the main character Donovan went to a new school for the smartest kids. He knew that he didn’t belong there, so he felt like an outcast. In both books the main characters are feeling out of place and the teachers like to talk about both students. The book I am reading has the teachers sitting together talking about that particular student and how they don’t do well in their classes. There is also a particular scene in the Blind Side where they are all talking about the character and only was believes in him.
@emasio6 Sounds like a good book!
@acook Good blog!
I am currently reading that was then this is now by S.E. Hinton.
I think that was then this is now relates to the movie and the book the outsiders because in both of the book the main characters grow up with a lot of problems. the thing that makes it so similar for me is how at first things were getting better but then someone did something stupid and they had to both try to fix. someone gets shot in the Out Siders Someone gets stab in that was then this now. there the same almost. good job @njkeidel03 and @accook both really good keep up the good work.
I am currently reading the Fault in Our Stars by John Green and I’m on page 106. The Fault in Our Stars was actually made into a movie, but it’s not exactly how the movie was put. The movie put in and left out certain bits and pieces of the book that would have went well in the movie. A difference is that more happened at the funeral of Augustus Waters then they put in the movie and hazel Grace said more in his eulogy. A similarity from the book and movie is how Gus (Augustus) died.
good job!! @hmaestre2
@kberry2 i want to read your book now! good job on your blog!
I am currently reading Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade by Oliver Bowden on page 104. This book is similar to the Fast and Furious series. They are similar because they both involve intense action against the enemy. Because of the creeds in both series it changes how they do things. O'conner and them believe in family while the Assassins believe in freedom.
accook nice book.
njkeidel03 great job on your blog.
I am currently reading Surrounded by Sharks by Michael Northrop, I am on page 156. This book is a lot like the movie and book Life of Pi one the ocean with only a bottle as a raft. Just him on the ocean and his family looking for him with no exact place to look exactly so far He also has some encounters with some sharks looking for a meal or trouble.
@accook nice paragraph.
@njkeidel03 nice comparison.
The book that I am currently reading
is The Giver by Lois Lowry. I'm currently on the 15th page. This book is a little bit like Divergent.
Divergent has different groups, just like The Giver has communities. Almost everything between The Giver and Divergent are seperated. I would recommend this book to people who likes action and mystery.
