1 – 200 of 296 Newer› Newest»I’m currently reading Cake Pop Crush by Suzanne Nelson. I’m on page 5 because I just started reading it. One reason that this book and the Mocking Jay are similar is the author’s first name (Suzanne) and that they both took place in a small town/area. A few differences are that they are based off two different subjects. One being on a rebellion (Mocking Jay) and one being a girl asking her dad to start baking cake pops in his bakery. One is also based on death and the other is sweets.
I am reading "A Short History Of Music In America" by John Tasker Howard. I am on page 31. The similarities of History Of Music In America and The Heritage Of Music is that there are both about music and the history about music. The differences are,History Of Music In America has more facts about history (John Smith, Native Americans,colonies,etc.) with music behind the facts and Heritage Of Music had more facts about the composers of the music that they composed.
The book that I used to have was called birds. The book i am on now is called reptiles of north america. The comparsion that i made about bouth of the book was that they both had information to help me know more things. The comstrast is that the new book thta I have is still informational but different information.The new book I will read to find more things about replites than birds.
Anonymous nice book.
AHolich1 keep reading .
I'm reading The Beggar King and the Secret to Happiness by Joel Ben Izzy and I'm on page 15. The last book I read was The Cardturner by Louis Sacher. One thing they both have in common is that they both share life lessons but in The Beggar King and the Secret to Happiness they're more straight forward with it. The Beggar King and the Secret to Happiness is based on a true story but The Cardturner is realistic fiction. Both books have a male main character and both involve a relative dying.
I’m reading Cinder by Marissa Meyer. I’m on page 43 and the book I’m comparing it to is Stung. Two things that are the same are that they both have heroines and that they revolve around a personal issue. The first thing that’s different is that in Stung the story was set in an apocalypse while Cinder is set in a futuristic society. Second is that Stung is a more action packed book Cinders is almost like a Cinderella tale.
AHolich1
Sounds cool.
BRivera4
The beggar king sounds familiar.
I am currently reading All The Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing Hahn and I am on page 16.The last book I read was I Even Funnier By James Patterson.One difference between the two books is that I Even Funnier is funny and All The Lovely Bad Ones is a scary book.One similarity between the two books is that the main characters are both teenage boys.Another difference between the two books is that the main character in the book I am currently reading has a family but in the book I Even Funnier The main character's parents and his sister died in a car accident.Another similarity is that both books are kind of dark,I Even Funnier is supposed to be funny but the main character has a lot of real life problems like his family dying and his uncle having a heart attack,and in All The Lovely Bad Ones is scary so both books are dark.
@BRivera4
Sounds like a good book.
@blugenbeel6
Sounds like a good book.
I am reading the coloring book. It is by Colin Quinn. I am on page 106. Two similarities between the book I read before is that there are personal flashbacks inn the story, and there are jokes. Two differences are that they are two different subjects and one is a story and one is not.
Daniel X by James Patterson and I am on page 26. The book I'm comparing it to is a tracker. Two things that are the same in these to books are they are both Sci-Fi. Two contrasts in each book is one character is unknown wile the other book gives it to you right away. Another contrast is one character as powers and the other character just is very good at computers.
i love your description@drivera4
very nice @Anonymous wDyke6
@drivera4
That sounds like two good interesting books. I should read them sometime.
@BRivera4
I love that book its sooo good!
The last book that i read was Love Maybe. The book i'm reading now is Jessica Darlings It List,i'm on page 9 chapter 2. 2 things that alike from my last book to the book i'm reading now is that the main characters are in junior high ( aka middle school.a something else these 2 books have in common is that both of these teenagers are nervous about junior high. Something that is differnt is that one main character has syblings and the other main character dosent't. Another contrast is that in Love Msybe piper has a gang of friends and people she talks to, in my current book Jessica only has 1 or 2 friends.
The book I am currently reading is Slated by Teri Terry and I am on page 123. The book I am comparing this book to is The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. These two books are alike because they both have the same amount of suspense and both main characters have been the adversary. In Slated, Kyla loses her memory of her being a terrorist and she slowly regains moments in her past life before being Slated. In the Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson goes on an adventure to prove his and his father’s name in Olympus. They both are different because Slated is Sci-fi, and The Lightning Thief is Fantasy. Also, The Lightning Thief starts from the beginning of his life, while Slated starts as the present and slowly reveals the past.
mcolton2 That book sounds interesting!
blugenbeel6 Cinder is such a great book, I hope you're enjoying it
The book I am reading is The Chronicles of Vladimir Todd by Heather Brewer. I am on page 25. I am comparing and contrasting this book with The Death Cure by James Dashner. In both books the main character hides secrets from their friends. Also, they are both teenagers with no parents. Thomas, the main character in The Death Cure, has to fight an evil organization to survive, while Vladimir on;y has to fight one person. Also, Vladimir has powers unlike Thomas who is just a normal teen.
That sounds like a good book mdihn6.
That is a good book mcolton2.
The 2 books I will be comparing today, is The Notebook and Twilight. One comparison that they have, is books are about love. How you may drift apart from someone you love, being forced to or not. True love always finds its way back. Another comparison that these books have are in the beginning of the book, both girls are put in the middle of a plot. For The Notebook, Alison is put in the middle of whether or not she should listen to her parents and leave the man she loves, or stay with him even if he can’t provide all the expensive gifts her parents feels she deserves. One contrast, is Twilight is fiction. There’s no such thing as vampires. On the other hand, The Notebook can easily happen in life. It has happened, many times before. Another contrast, is in twilight a group of friends don’t like the GIRL. On The Notebook the parents don’t like the BOY. The title of the current book that I’m reading is The Notebook, by Nicholas Sparks and I’m currently on page 78.
mdinh6... sounds really interesting, id like to read it.
dtthomas1... id love to read your first book.
The book I'm currently reading is Neil Gaiman's,"Coraline", and the last book I read was "Witch Hunt". A comparison between both books are, they both have a dark theme to it. A difference is "Witch Hunt" is nonfiction and "Coraline" is a dark fantasy. I'm currently on page 28.
The book i'm reading is called The Rise Of Nine, the author is Pittacus Lore, and i'm on page 31. The book i'm using to compare and contrast is The Haunted Museum. The comparisons of both story's is that they both have an mysterious start to the story's and that both story's have a sort of travel to it. The contrasts to both story's is that the traveling are both different and that the main characters are not both running from something. The traveling sequences are different because in The Haunted Museum the main character jumps through a mirror to get to London and not only that is that they jumped into the past.
My old book, Infinity Rings book 1 is different from book 2 because the have different authors. Book 1 is James Dashner. The similar thing is that they both have the time travel ring. The book i am reading is, Infinity Rings Divide and Conquer book 1. I am on pg.10 and the author is Carrie Ryan
@mwaters6
Cool.
@lthigpin6
I agree
The book I am currently reading is Treasure Hunters: Secret of the Forbidden City by James Patterson and I am on page 234. The book I am going to compare it to is Middle School Save Rafe by James Patterson. One comparison I found was that they both are written by the same author. Another comparison I found is that both books are apart of a series. The first contrast I found was that in "Middle School Save Rafe", Rafe is trying to get back into school while in the book "Treasure Hunters", all the kid are smart and are homeschooled. The second contrast I found was that the main characters have different personalities.
@lthigpin6
those are good books
@mdinh
those are very different books
The book that I am reading is Ranger's Apprentice: The Siege of Macindaw by John Flanagan. I am on page 61. The last book that I read is Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. One comparison that I found was that the two stories are about a big conflict for most of the story. Also, they are very suspenseful to make you want to read them without stopping. They contrast because Jurassic Park is a sci-fi book and The Ranger's Apprentice is Historical Fiction. Another is that Jurassic Park has 8 main characters and Ranger's Apprentice has 5 main characters.
@jroach5 That sounds like a good book and nice comparison.
@jfox4 is that a good series I've never heard maybe I'm gonna check it out.
@JFox4 "Treasure Hunters" sounds fascinating.
@mwaters6 both of your books sound cool.
in my book million dollar throw by mikw lupica both my main character's play football and in my last story the guy played football also. but they have different positions in football. but they both play exceptionally well. they got different names too.
@mwaters6 both of your the book you read sounds pretty interesting.
@lthigpin those sound like good books to read
I am reading "The Ranger's Apprentice: Book 3", By John Flanagan. I am on page 81. The last book I read was "The Dead", By Charlie Higson. It was similar in the way that kids had to survive against the elements and other people. In "The Dead", however, the other people were zombies. In the "Ranger's Apprentice: Book 3" the people are Scandians (Viking-like pirates). Also, the weather in "The Dead" is more dry and hot. The weather in the "The Ranger's Apprentice: Book 3" is more icy and wet, very harsh if your escaping cray-cray viking pirates with a death vow on one of your companions (and their entire family).
@JRoach5
Thanks for no spoilers! I am on book 3 of the series, don't want to have to stop enjoying the series because of a spoiled ending.
@JFox4
That sounds very interesting, James Patterson is a great author.
The Rise of Nine sounds a little like Lord of the Rings with the Nazgul.
I am reading Infinity Ring and am on page 19. The author of Infinity Ring is James Dashner and the last book I read was The 39 Clues, which the author was Rick Riordan. Two things that were the same were that both books were realistic fiction and both books have two main characters, Dan and Amy, and Dak and Sera. Two things that were different were that one book had minor/major characters (people that were important to the main characters) die and the other one did not. The othe thing was that one book had more of a modern time setting than the other one.
@JFox
I heard that James Patterson was a really great author.
@JRoach
Is the Ranger's Apprentice connected to the Sorcerer's Apprentice in any way?
The new book I am reading is called 'Dead City' written by James Ponti. I am currently on page 26. The book I am comparing/contrasting with is my previous book 'Half Upon a Time' written by James Riley. One comparison is that both books are fiction. Another comparison is that both books include someone dead. One contrast is that one book is about zombies.And another contrast is that one is more about friendship than the other.
James Patterson is an excellent writer.
@DSanchez5
Your books sounds great!
@mwaters6
My book is “Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin” by Liesl Shurtliff and I’m on page 59. The book I’m comparing and contrasting to is called “The Grimm Conclusion”. Two comparisons are they both take place in some kind of magical place and that they both show two main characters that are young and a boy and girl. Two differences are that Rump has a grandma but they twins only have a mother and that the twins had each other to lean on while Rump had his friend Red. So that’s my book and two comparisons and two differences.
zwiggins(2) these books are really alike.
DSanchez5 two great books.
The book I just started is Finally by Wendy Mass and I am on page 12. The book I am going to compare it with is Gathering Blues by Lois Lowery. These two books are similar since the main characters are both girls and they are both under 15 years old.
These two books are different because the current book I'm reading is very happy and reminds me of my birthday when I was turning 12. The last book was very secretive and was dull.
The book I am currently reading is called "raft" by S.A. Bodeen. I am on page 21. The book I was reading before was "After 2 Pac" by Jacqueline Woodsen. That book was a biography. The book I am reading right now is realistic fiction.
wDyke6
Sounds like a fun book!
sharriett4
Sounds like a interesting book.
@lrepp I think ive heard of that book and it looks very interesting.
The book I am now reading is called 'Percy Jackson and The Sea Of Monsters' by Rick Riordan I am on page 73 this is the sequel to my last book 'Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief' also made by Rick Riordan. A thing these two books both have in common are the main characters in the books are the same people. Another thing they have in common is that they are both written by the same author Rick Riordan. They also have the same genre which is fantasy. A thing that is different about them is the quest they must go on. In this book the quest is that Percy must go and retrieve the Golden Fleece, while in the other book Percy had to retrieve Zeus's Master Bolt. Another different thing is the monsters they encounter in the beginning of this book, in the last book it was a Fury and the Minotaur, in this book it is cannibal giants and mechanical bulls. This is how my new and old book compare and contrast.
@DSanchez5 I find book by Rick Riordan amazing and fun to read.
@sscott6 I loved the 'Million Dollar Throw' it was a very good book
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a good series.
I am currently reading Id tell you I love you but then I’d have to kill you by Ally Carter and i am on page 57. I am going to be comparing and contrasting this book to my last book Four by Veronica Roth, they are two very different books. The book I am currently is for one about an all girls spy school and where the narrator meets a normal boy who thinks she is a normal girl but she falls in love and cannot tell him who she really is. The book Four is about a society that is divided by fractions and different personalities, and Four has transferred to dauntless to start a new life. But they do have some things like for example; both main characters have to keep secrets. Cammie has to keep the secret that she is basically a spy in training and for awhile Four has to keep the secret that his is divergent and he decided to keep his real name to his self so his has to keep that secret also. Another thing these two books have in common is that both main characters fall in love but in two different ways.
@BRivera4 your books sounded like really good books!!
@jroach5 your books sound really good!
The book I am currently reading is Were World book 1 by Curtis Jobling. The last book I read was Wolves of the beyond book 2 by Kathryn Lasky. Two thing's alike is that both of the main protagonists have the genetics of a wolf, one of them a real wolf and the other a simple hybrid. Throughout the course of book books they are both mostly fugitives or outcasts until the very end of the book when they prove themselves to the world. They both are different because Drew from were world is cunning, bold and strong never letting anyone push him down. While Faolan from wolves of the beyond is mostly silent and helpless at the fact he is outnumbered. Faolan has a reduced number of allies in the first two books which is why his life was miserable for a while. Drew has aid from all kinds of people because the land is much less corrupted than the other one.
the book i am currently reading is diary of a wimp kid:hard luck and i am on page 47 and i am going to be comparing and contrastisng this book to dear dumb diary. they are two completely different books. the book i am currently readings is a bout a boy named greg who faces problems in middle school and at home. he eventually tries to fix the problems and makes them even worse. the book dear dumb diary is about a girl who also faces problems in middle school and at home. she, just like greg tries to fix her problems make them turn into a disater. these books are alike and different in so many ways.
i am reading "Skeleton Key" and i am on page 14. I am going to compare this book to Narnia. Alex and Narnia are completely different. Alex is trying to find the skeleton key, or else he dies. He has the help of 2 adults. If he finds the skeleton key, he will save humanity.
I don't think I read zjohnson1's book yet, but i will try to.
The book I’m reading right now I started yesterday, it is “Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane,” it is by Suzanne Collins, the author of “Hunger Games,” I’m on page 119. The book I read for the last mini project was “Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians,” by Brandon Sanderson. These books are similar because both the main characters are boys and both of them discover something new about their world. Something different is Alcatraz discovers that there is a part of earth, called the free kingdoms, and the Hushlanders where he grew up is kept in the dark about it from the librarians. Gregor discovered the Underland, which is beneath New York City. Another similarity is they are both united with family, Alcatraz is united with family he didn’t know he had, and Gregor found his dad.
@sthakor1 I love every single book in that series and the one following it, out of ALL the books I've read I can say it's my favorite!
blugenbeel6 I have heard that Cinder is a good book, I should read it soon!
I am currently reading “The Lions of Little Rock” by Kristin Levine and I’m on page 11. The last book I read was “Life As We Knew It” by Susan Pfeffer. They are alike many ways. The main character in both books are girls. They both also deal with friendship whether it’s making new ones or loosing old ones. They are very different too. “The Lions of Little Rock” has a problem that is just in their community, when “Life As We Knew It” has a problem that affected the whole world. “Life As We Knew It” also had characters that were struggling to survive, when the characters in “Lions of Little Rock” weren’t.
@cmitchell1 Both of those books sound cool.
@mbradford4 "Narnia" is a good book and movie.
In the book I have recently read and the book I just finished very recently (I am number four by Pittacus lore) there are many similarities. One of these similarities is that both characters left their families to come to a completely new place unknown and dangerous to them. Another comparison between my two books is that each person is extremely intelligent and that gives them an edge in their new environment.
@sthakor1 I read the Percy Jackson series it was really good.
@mwaters6 I just finished the second book in that series it was really good.
In the book I'm currently reading is No Way Out and the author is Peggy Kern, I'm on page 110. The difference between the book I read last time which was SCAT is my main character Harold lives in a broken down neighborhood with his grandmother. And in my last book SCAT, my main character Nick lived in the suburbs and stayed with his parents. Nick has a better neighborhood than Harold and doesn't get drawn in with all the temptations surrounding him like Harold. A similarity of the two is that both have made bad choices like Harold choose to run with a gang. Nick choose to sneak in somebody's house and ended up getting kidnapped. Another similarity is they both have girls as their best friend, Nick has Martha as a best friend and Harold has Cherri as a best friend. Those are the similarities and differences, and so far my book is good.
@JFox4 Treasure Hunters sounds like a good book
@wDyke6 The coloring book sounds awesome
@MDinh6 Sounds like the type of book I would read when I am not reading nonfiction.
@AJoseph5 Sounds like a type of book that is based on reality.
Right now I’m reading “Counting by 7s” by Holly Goldberg Sloan, and I’m on page 114. My last book is “Catching Fire” by Suzanne Collins. Similarities between those books are that both main characters (Katniss and Willow) are girls. Another comparison I can make is that both like to be in nature. For instance, Katniss likes to go out in the woods to hunt, and Willow likes to observe plants. The differences between those books are that Catching Fire is more of like a science fiction, and can’t happen in reality, while Counting by 7s is a story that can happen in real life (realistic fiction). Also, two books are different, because Katniss has one sibling (Prim), but Willow’s adopted, and she’s only child.
@BRivera4 Both of your books sound cool.
@mdinh6 I’ve read your second book, and it was really good. I hope you liked it too.
I am currently reading 'The Cay' by Theodore Taylor and am on page 14. The difference between this book and my last book is that this book takes place during WWI and is about race and how race should be equal, while the last book was about getting into trouble and acting your age. Their similarities however, are that both have an essential life lesson and how you should never give up and cherish your life.(My previous book was 'Cosmic' by Frank Boyce)
@NVance5 Sounds like an interesting plot for a book.
@jroach5 I love that book!
I'm currently reading the Death Cure by James Dashner and I an currently on page 78. I read the Giver by Lowis Lowery. There's plenty of comparisons and contractions between each book so this blog was fairly easy. The first comparison between the books is that the main characters both have really great a great influence for what will happen for example that Jonas was chosen as a Giver and Thomas is immune to the disease Flares. Another one is that they both got kind of separated from the community. One way to prognosticate the contrasts between these books is that one is more of a classic piece of literature such as The Giver unlike the Death Cure which is more modern and not as classic as the giver. The last contrast between the books is that Thomas's immunity could save the entire world, but all the things that Jonas did was in pure defiance and won't in terms will not surcease the leaders of the world.
jwinfrey5
That's pretty cool i've read that book in the 5th grade it's really cool.
jroach5
The rangers Apprentice is pretty interesting but I did not really enjoy it at all but good luck.
The book I'm reading is The Kill Order and the book I previously read was The Death Cure, both by James Dashner. I'm on page 30. The similarities in these two books are the way different characters do things the same way and they both follow a similar plot, usually having to do with WICKED. The differences between them are the climaxes and how the characters attitudes change throughout the story. The characters also do things that make the characters change.
DBecker4
Those are both great books I've read both.
Ipark1
Those sound like great stories.
The book I'm currently reading is Hollow City, written by Ransom Riggs and I'm on page 396. The I'll be comparing and contrasting with this is Sanctum, written by Madeline Roux. The same thing about these two books is the peculiar occurances, like a mix of fantasy and reality. Like in Sanctum, how crazy ancestors of an asylum take over the main character's bodies. And in Hollow City, how a failed magic experiment caused some humans to be possessed by "wights". The difference in these stories is the plotline. In Sanctum, it's a mystery; in Hollow City, it's an adventure. Sanctum does have adventure in it, but the main plotline is the mystery. Same in Hollow City, mystery is in the book, but it's not the main plotline.
LBaker4
The Death Cure was amazing! I hope you liked the book!
blugenbeel6
Cinder's a good book if you're looking for a relaxing yet awesome book!
The book i'm currently reading is Were World Rage of Lions volume 2 , and I'm on page 30. The book i will be comparing with is, The Loyal Virginian. The books are both the same in the sense that they both the main characters fathers were killed by the enemy and are both sort of heroic in a sense. The are both different because The Loyal Virginian is Historical fiction while Were World is a plain old fantasy which can not happen in the real world. The Loyal Virginian is a fake story I believe, and includes real points in time like the indian war and plots that could have happened.
ISwarts4
Imagine if the book you are reading happened in real life.
LBaker4
Im on page 30 in my book too.
I'm currently reading the book The Midnight Library Voices pg 9. In the Don't Look Behind You in the beginning everything was fine. In my current book Kate's mother was in the hospital ill for a reason that no one knows. In the novel Don't Look Behind You April was happy about being around her bf Steve and playing tennis. I think my current book is interesting because it already starts off good.
@LBaker4, Sounds good.
I am reading the book The Land of Stories a Grimm Warning by Chris Colfer and I’m on page 37. The last book I read was The Land of Stories the Enchantress Returns also by Chris Colfer. The text really isn’t all that different because it’s the sequel to the last one I read and written by the same author. But one way the texts are the same is that Chris Colfer has this very rich way of detailing the characters, Chris describes them so well you can picture them in your mind. Another way the two texts are alike are that The Land of Stories a Grimm Warning has the same creativeness as The Land of Stories the Enchantress Returns. I can only really find one little difference of the two books and that is that it seems as the characters Alex and Conner get older the more advanced the vocabulary and text gets. But only slightly it’s like how a four year old says wittle and then starts saying little.
jwinfrey5 OMG that is my favorite book my 5th grade teacher read that to me and since then I have read it myself twice.
The 2 books I have read are Teslas Attic and Jungle of bones. They are the same because the main characters go on a adventure to figure something out. They also search for a item. How they are different is they take place half way around the world. Plus there searching for somthing different.
cmitchell1 That's cool that the author of the hunger games wrote that book. I liked the hunger games series I wonder if I would like that book.
cscott1 Looks like a good book. Lots of adventure.
@Iswarts4, Very interesting.
abenett6 Glad your book starts of good.
The book I’m currently reading is The Perfectionist by Sara Shepard and I’m on page 61. Two things my book and the book I finished Flawless have in common are they’re both written by the same author. Both of these books have a group of friends who are devastated by a death of a friend or someone close to them. Two things that are different about these books are one takes place in Virginia and the other takes place in Washington State. Also, in the Perfectionist one of the main characters is adopted.
cscott1 your book sounds good.
lrepp4 that book seems interesting.
The book I'm currently reading is The Rose Society, by Marie Lu. I'm on page 138 and can see a few similarities between this book and the other book I read, My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga. One similarity being that they both have strong female leads. Adelina, in The Rose Society is strengthening her powers and fighting for what she wants, and Aysel in My Heart and Other Black Holes, has stayed strong even when her dad was convicted for murder and thrown in jail. They both haven't given up. Another similarity between the two books is they are written by female authors. My Heart and Other Black Holes was Jasmine Warga's fist book and The Rose Society was written by the same author who wrote the Legend trilogy; Marie Lu. One difference between the two text are one is sci-fi and isn't going happen,while the other is realistic fiction and has probably happened to someone. Also, The Rose society is written in 1st and 2nd person point of view, whereas My Heart and Other Black Holes is strictly written in 1st person point of view.
@nlabender5 It's cool how books can have a similar plots, but be two different genres.
@DBecker4 That's true, I never thought of it that way.
The that I am currently reading is Time To Get Tough by Donald Trump and the previous book I read was Micheal Vey by Richard Paul Evens. This book has a lot of differences, for example: Trumps book is morely based on real life than supernatural powers like in Micheal Vey. Also Donald Trump's book is based off of business and politics while Micheal Vey is based on a high school boy's life. They still have similarities though, for example: in both the books they both have problems they're trying to figure out. They also have one big enemy in the books for Trump, it's the U.S. government while Micheal's big enemy is Elgen Academy.
@SClark5
They both sound like good books, I'd like to read them considering I myself am somewhat of a perfectionist.
@ABerryman
You could have been more specific with what adventure they were going on and what they were looking for.
The book I am currently reading is "The Underdogs" by Mike Lupica and im on page 9. So far comparing and contrasting my current book from my last book "Rules" by Cynthia Lord, the characters have the same personality. All of the characters in each book never give up on what the believe in and keep trying. They all have confidence about themselves. To contrast about both books, some characters think about giving up in "The Underdogs" but get back on track. In the book "Rules" all the characters never fail to accomplish what they had in mind.
@Nherring4 Great job. I love it!
@sclark5 Great job. Good details.
My book is Game Changers: Play Maker by Mike Lupica and my last book is Game Changers: Heavy Hitters. Both are about sports and the struggles through the season. Another thing both books have in common is there is someone that is trying to beat the main character. The difference in the stories is that one is about baseball and the other is about basketball. The other main difference is that the problem is not about the same character.
cscott1 good comparison and contrast very detailed
HershkowitzH I am also reading a book by that author
I am currently reading messenger by Lois Lowry and I am on pg 45, the last book I read was called gathering blue and was also by Lois Lowry. Messenger is a lot like gathering blue because it is a series, 1 way they are alike is they are both about Utopian society's that off the book having the main character in be in there house with someone else telling you who is important. My second comparison is both books don't tell you the problem until a while into the book. The two contrasts in the books are the main character in this book is a boy who was in one of the other books unlike the last book where all the characters were new and my other contrast is this book is so far a lot happier the group has them self together and is all very nice to each other unlike the other book where most are poor and they kill you is you aren't perfect.
HHershkowitzH
That is a creative way to compare your two books.

great description on your post about the two books
I am reading “Trial by Fire” by Josephine Angelini, I am currently on page 40. The book that I’ll be comparing and contrasting with “Trial by Fire”, is “Insurgent”. Both girls are strong and independent. But they can also be hard-headed. The difference between the girls would be, one is a witch, and the other is a fighter/ murderer (if you will). They also contrast by the way they do things. For example in “Insurgent”, Tris out-thinks her opponents, while Lilly from the book I am currently reading doesn’t really think she just does what she needs to do. When it comes down to it both of the girls are prepared for anything that comes their way.
lpark1, those are some good comparisons and contrasts. :}
klynch4, you may need to add a little bit more detail, to understand the comparisons... but other than that, very good. :}
I am on page 62 of "The Third Reich" by Micheal Berwick. A comparison between "The Third Reich" and "The Last Americans" (my last book) is that there both based around historical evidence. The books contrast, is the story line. My last book was based anywhere between the 1600's to the 1800's, but my new book is based in the 1940's. Two completely separate times.
@esrowland4
Sounds like a good book. Louis Lowry is a good author.
@cscott1
Sounds interesting. I might read that next.
I am on page 302 of "Michael Vey: Rise of the Elgen" by Richard Paul Evans. The last book, "Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25" I read and this book are of the same series, but have differences. One difference is that The Rise of Elgen is the second one in the series, and The Prisoner of Cell 25 is later.

that is a cool and interesting comparison.
nherring
I could never compare those two books
The book that I am currently reading is Fallout by S.A. Bodeen, I am on page 65. The book that I am comparing my book to is Red Kayak. One comparison is that the main character in both stories is struggling with their past. Another comparison is that both of the main characters are about the same age. One difference is that the main character in Fallout is rich. Another difference is that the main character in fallout has many siblings while other main character only has one sibling.

That books sound interesting.
ahenderson4
Those books sound cool.
the book I am reading is the raft by s a Boodeen and I a on page 25 and some comparisons is that they both involve a plane crash and they both have that survival type of writing like the author has foresight and give you hints on what will happen next, without giving it away. two contrasts are that in hatchet in the beginning he is already on the plane in the raft she in doing something else then gets on the plane. another is that in hatchet he is flying over land and in the raft she is flying over water.
Scark5 nice book
ahenderson4 I like that book
I'm currently reading the book Sunrise Over Fallujah. It is by Walter Dean Myers and I'm on page 32. The last book I read was the Underdogs by Mike Lupica. Some similarities are that both of the main characters are unhappy with their surroundings. A difference is that one character has the ability to avoid those surroundings but the other one didn't.

You did a good job at answering the question!
I am currently reading book one of the 39 Clues series, "The Maze of Bones". The author of the book is Rick Riordan. I am comparing and contrasting this book with "Hatchet". One comparison I made is that the main characters in both books are teenagers. You have Dan and Amy Cahill in "The Maze of Bones" and then you have Brian in "Hatchet". One contrast is that you actually have two main characters that are focused on in "The Maze of Bones" and in "Hatchet" it is just Brian. Another contrast is that "The Maze of Bones" is a mystery and "Hatchet" is a fiction book. My other comparison is that there is a secret in both books. In "The Maze of Bones" Dan and Amy find out that there family was one of the most powerful in human history. In "Hatchet" Brian founds out that his mom has been cheating on his dad. Brian calls that "The Secret".
The book im reading right now is Beastly. The last book i read was twilight eclipse. There both sappy romance stories.Edward and Adrian are both, what they consider beasts. They both do find love. Adrian with Lindy and Edward with Bella. Despite there beastly appereances.
@Gdougherty1 Maybe you could have been more descriptive in your comment.
@NJbrown What about the differences?
@dgross That book sounds really cool.
the book i read is a mystery book and so is the book i am reading now .the book i read is killer pizza by the slice.i am reading the book the ghost of grey lock.they booth are mystery books and the killer pizza is more chasing something were the ghost of grey lock is more exploring a place.
@esRowland4 your book sounds really interesting
.
LBaker4
sounds like you really like that author . i will have to read one of his books.
lpark1
sounds like the charecters have oppisite familys.
Currently, I am reading the book,"Lyonesse The Well Between The Worlds". The author of this book is Sam Llewellyn and I am on page 22. The book I'm going to compare and contrast to is, "So Human an Animal". These two books really aren't that similar in many ways other than they're both books, have more than 200 pages, and so on and so forth (only things like the generic basic things compare). But, I can easily find 2 differences and those are that the new book I'm reading Lyonesse is a fantasy genre while So Human an Animal is non fiction plus Lyonesse actually has characters while So Human an Animal didn't.
@shughes6 Killer's pizza huh, so is the pizza a killer or is a killer eating the pizza?
@ACardoza5 Maze of bones sounds spook.
The book that I am currently reading is Bystander by James Preller and I am on page 186. The last book that I read is called Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson. Two differences in the two book is that Kingdom Keepers is fantasy that includes magic and Bystander is realistic fiction, which means that it could be real but it is not. Another difference is that Kingdom Keepers deals with mystical creatures and Bystander deals with a bully. One similarities are that the main characters in the book both deal with antagonists that make their lives miserable. Another similarity is that the main characters in the book both have great friends to keep their minds of the antagonist.
@kkimbrough1 Your book sounds good!
@klynch sound interesting.
The book I'm reading currently is "The Adventure of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain and I'm on page 35. The book I read before this book was "The Codex". The one thing that is similar is that these two books are mysterious in some way. The other similar thing that is about this book is that the genre is the same. The difference between these books are the Characters personality are different. The one other thing that is different is that they both have different taste in adventures.
AHolich1 That's a nice book.
klynch4 That's a good author and her books are awesome.
The book I am currently reading is The Witch and the Wizard by James Patterson and the book I have read before was The Eye of Minds by James Dashner. A similarity is the books go by in just days because it sucks you into its intensity. Another thing is that the main characters, who seem ordinary at the start of the book, goes into something that changes their lives real fast. A difference is that the book I am reading now deals with magic and Fantasy while the previous one deals with technology and Science Fiction. Another difference is that there are 2 main characters in the book I am now reading and the perspective switches between them constantly.
@ACardoza5 That were some really good comparisons and contrasts. High Five yourself!
@esrowland4 Sounds like I have another author on my "Waiting to Read Their Books" list.
i am reading lone wolf. I am done with the book and have started a new book Dog tags. They both have dogs in the title and both are so far are not about dogs. Dog tags is about historical fiction wile lone wolf is about realistic fiction. also dog tags is about a grown up wile lone wolf is about a 5th grader.
@arossi2 sounds like a good book
@nherring4 nice job
I am reading the Maze Runner by James Dasher and I'm on page 25.This book compares to last book I read becuase the main character meets a lot of new people. They also compare becuase they main Character has to go through things alone. The book I'm curently reading and Rules are diffrent because the main character in the Maze Runner has to be more independent and has to take care of himself. Also in the Maze Runner the Main Character is much older than in Rules. Anyways I;m really enjoying the book so far.
the book i am reading Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief the author is Rick riordan . I'm on page 220 the thing i like about this book is the action. Percy Jackson is a accused of stealing Zeus's Master Bolt he master he must Prove His Own innocence .The last book i Read Was Star wars tHe jedi Quest. the theme of this book is Four Padawans who have to work together to save a planet.
@lrepp4 I loved that book!
@sharriet4 Sounds like a good book.
The book I am currently reading is Chomp by Carl Hiaasen. The page I am on is 27. How chomp and flush (my other book) are similar is that they take place in Florida. Both the books are by Carl Hiaasen and I have seem to learn that all of his books take place in Florida. They are also in common by the son and the dad being close together and both the main characters love nature. How they are different is the dads have different jobs like in Chomp the dad kinda works with tv and in Flush the dad had jobs like taxi driving and giving people tours on boats.
@msmith2
I loved the movie but I haven't read the book but I'm taking in consideration to.
@cscott1
Sounds good.
The book that I am currently reading is chomp by Carl Hiaasen. I am on page 15, the book I read last time was Steve jobs. The big difference between the to books is the genera, Steve jobs book was a biography then chomp is realistic fiction. The last difference is that chomp was taken place in Florida and Steve jobs was mostly taken in his home town California. They are alike by that the dads in both stories’ worked hard and the main character in both stories started out on a dream.
@msmith2
I haven't read the book but I heard that the movie is great
@GKloeppel5
I am going have to check that book out
The two books I am comparing a me co trashing are, "Paper Towns" by John Green (old book) and "Me Earl and the Dying Girl" by Jesse Andrews. I am currently on page 20. These two books are similar because the voice/tone the author uses to write it in sounds similar in both the texts. They are both very sarcastic and modern-teenager toned and sound a lot like things I would think or say so I can relate to the tone the author is writing in quite well. these two books are different because the genre of "Paper Towns" was more mystery and I think that the genre of "Me Earl and the Dying Girl" will be realistic fiction.
msmith2
That was a good book.
ARossi2
That sounds like a seasonally appropriate book, considering Halloween is almost here.
I am currently reading the book “Pipe Dreams” by Kelly slater and I am on page 204. There are few comparisons between the book I am currently reading and the previous book that I read, “Things We Know By Heart” by Jessi Kirby. The main thing these books have in common is that they both send an inspirational message in one way or another; it depends on how the reader perceives the overall text. These books also compare in the way they are narrated. These books are both narrated or told in the main characters perspective. Despite these two comparisons, these books are extremely different. First of all, the book I am currently reading is an autobiography of a world-renowned surfer, while as the book I previously read was a realistic fiction novel about a girl overcoming a certain hardship in her life. Thus meaning that all of the overall elements in the books are different. The book I am currently reading is a lot more informational and formal compared to the book I previously read.
@esmith5
Those both sound like good books.
@ddaniels4
That book sounds interesting.
I am reading The Raft by S.A. Bodeen and on page 112. The book i am comparing to it is The Death Cure by James Dashner. One similarity is that both of the main characters are teenagers. Also, both characters are facing a difficult situation. One difference is that in The Raft, the main character is a girl, but in The Death Cure, it is a boy. Also, in The Death Cure, someone makes the difficult challenge, but in The Raft, it happened accidentally.
The book I am currently reading is Evercrossed by Elizabeth Chandler and I'm on page 40. The book I'm comparing/contrasting it with is another Elizabeth Chandler book, Kissed by an Angel. One thing different about the two books is that they were in the same town and going to school in Kissed by an Angel. Now in Evercrossed, Ivy is in Cape Cod during summer time. Also something that is different is that in Kissed by an Angel, Tristan died. Now Ivy is dead in Evercrossed. Something that both books have in common is that Ivy is in love with Tristan. Another thing is that she believes in angels.
@DDaniels4 I read chomp before, I liked it. great choice!
@klynch4 those sound like two very different books! nice
I am currently reading A Work In Progress by Connor Franta, I am on page 42. Two things to compare from The Fault In Our Stars and A Work In Progress is how both the main characters go through a time where they are abandoned. Hazel gets abandoned and is left with no one (what it feels like). And Connor is left behind from his family when he opens up. Another thing to compare is how They both go through struggles with society. Somethings to contrast is how one is a love story and the other is not. TFIOS is a full on love story and a work in progress is about building connors career and building his life style. Another one is how Hazel doesnt end up with a ton of friends she loses her one and only, Connor still has his multiple friends all over the U.S.
The book I’m currently reading is Maze Runner by James Dashner and I am on page 42. The book I was previously reading was Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. Two comparisons of the books are that they both are futuristic and the main character in both books face conflicts with bullies. Two differences with the two books is that Enders Game takes place in space, while The Maze Runner takes place in the middle of no were and that the main characters have different personalities
@sbell4 I'm close to the same page. XD
@ ischleissing4 that book sounds interesting.
@chogdes6 She is a good author.
@esmith5 i havent read those books but ive saw the movie and they are really good so im pretty sure the books are even better.
The book I am reading is named the underdogs the author is Mike Lupicia and the book I am comparing it too is a story named Rules. The things they have in common is that they have to always listen to the person above them because if they don’t there would be a consequence for it. The second thing they have in common is that most of the character parents are strict of what they do like they can’t stay up late all night and every morning they have to bathes because there mom thinks even when you sleep you can still get dirty. The thing they don’t have in common is that in the underdogs Luke was raised by both of his parents and then in Rules Don was just raised by his mom. The second thing they don’t have in common is that in the Underdogs they all play football and in Rules nobody plays a sport. The page I am currently on is page 22.
