My book is called, “ Elon musk and the Quest for a Fantastic Future,” and is written by Ashlee Vance also the genre is a biography, this book has 280 pages. R. Kikuo Johnson did the photos, also the book is about how he runs all of his companies his weekly schedule. Next, it talks about how they developed all four companies. Lastly it talked about what mistakes he made when doing business and how we resolved them. A lesson Elon Musk learned is to never give up. He learned this when, Elon Musk’s first rocket failed, although he was devastated he persevered and kept trying and,he didn’t give up even though there was a few rocket fails. After a few tries to launch his rocket, Elon Musk, finally launched a rocket into orbit and everyone was so joyful. Over all, Elon Musk would have never succeeded if gave up, so his perseverance has paid off by him succeeding. In Conclusion I don’t recommend this book because of all the names I got confused, and because of that I would rate the book a 3 out of 10. I would rate the pictures a 7 out of 10, because the blueprints helped me imagine his inventions. A question I have to the Author is, “how long did it take to write this book?

The author (Melanie Crowder) makes me feel like I'm in the story because Melanie Crowder uses awesome words and makes the story so intense. For example, in the story its says "We travel half way the world and still my dreams are impossible." and she's one of my favorite authors and in every single part i could feel her same pain and happiness. It's a really good book I love it.

I really, really, really loved this book,and I usually don't like non-fiction, biographies, or any genre of that sort. This book took me by surprise. Here I am finding this book in the library and picking it up. Who knew I would actually fall in love with it? It's gripping. The author draws you in with the events and actions. He spins the words and makes a woven masterpiece. The suspense and mystery scenes were really engaging, the story line so intense. I found myself learning new things about Martin Luther King Jr. And can I just say how much I loved how the author spelled out most of MLKJ's life? This book wasn't just about the murder of MLKJ, it was about how he lead marches and changed America. Another thing that I liked is how the author wrote the scenes leading up to the murder. It seemed a lot like the show on National Geographic, Seconds from Disaster. It showed where James Earl Ray stood and how he shot MLKJ. I found that incredibly interesting. Oh, and I just loved how the author showed how the FBI and police tracked Ray and how he ran away. Long story short, I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a nice suspense/mystery-nonfiction-biography-type book.

"Gretzky An Autobiography" is an autobiography written by authors Wayne Gretzky and Rick Reilly with photos are by Vincent Virga. This book has 238 that go through the most important parts of his life like when he got to the very top of the National Hockey League (NHL) being the best. And, the dark times in his life like when parents of his teammates yelled at him for being a puck hog. Or, how he felt when he won the Stanley Cup for the very first time and heard the fans scream his name “Gretzky, Gretzky, Gretzky.” When Wayne played in his youth he made many mistakes like, not letting coaches know what happened off the ice. However, letting this happen helped him fuel his tank with determination so he could drive himself even harder. Although, doing this made his family move everywhere so he can always one up himself. Doing this provided him with a challenge to work on his social skills because he was a very shy kid. It also, helped with training and work ethic to allow him to become a better hockey player and a much better person. I would definitely recommend this book to a fan player or relative of a hockey player because you get to know the game and its history a lot better.If i could ever ask Wayne Gretzky one question face to face it would be, “If you could go back in time and fix one thing what would it be and why?”

I love peoples life stories and this one is the best because it is all true.It is very sad though.When breath becomes air tells about how Paul Kalanithi is a doctor who became a patient suffers from a very deadly cancer.It truly is a beautiful story.

The name of my biography is called Steve Jobs The Man Who Thought Different. The author of this book is Karen Blumenthal, Who is also the illustrator. It is about Steve Jobs' life and how he made modern technology. As a child, he had many challenges, but when he grew older, he had even more.Steve Jobs was the man who thought different, he saw the world differently, and he made the world different. The main lesson Steve Jobs learned is that you should never give up. Steve Jobs faced many hardships. For example, he was adopted and was fired from Apple. Later on, he overcame these challenges by finding a new family and making two new companies after he was fired. Even though he had a rough childhood, he became the tech celebrity that we know today. Steve Jobs , at a point, was a selfish man and sometimes put work before family. But gradually, he started spending more time with his family members that he never talked to. In conclusion, I chose this book because I wanted to do Steve Jobs for my project. If you're doing a biography project like me, I would recommend it because it had a lot of information on Steve Jobs. It also is a good book to read for fun since it is very detailed, clear, and the story is very interesting. My answered question to Steve Jobs is that why did you have really high expectations for your co-workers?

Miao women are strange... Why do they wear their ancestors hair? That doesn't even begin to make sense to me.

I love this book

Have you witnessed JFK's assassination or even seen the video on YouTube? Well what if you could see it happen in your mind from just reading a book? The book I read was The President Has Been Shot by James L. Swanson published in 2013, with the genre being nonfiction. I have not always been a big fan of non-fiction, but after reading this book it has shown me as a reader that non-fiction can be just as interesting as fiction. I give this book 5 stars for detailed information and the quality of the details. While reading the book I never felt that there was a part that did not have much detail. The author had to have spent a lot of time finding little but specific facts. The book is mainly about John F Kennedy's assassination, but also his early life of how he became President and the aftermath and chaos from the presidents death. A very interesting feature about the book is that it explains what Lee Harvey Oswald,(JKF's assassin) did to prepare the assassination attempt. The book has exact details because in just one example states,"The third bullet sliced through John Kennedy's thatch of thick reddish-brown hair. It cut a neat hole through his scalp and perforated his skull. The velocity, the pressure, and the physics of death did the rest. The right rear side of the president's skull blew out -exploded really-tearing open his scalp, and spewing skull fragments, blood, and brains several feet into the air where it hung for a few seconds, suspended in a pink cloud."(Swanson 113.) All though this is a disturbing example there is very extreme details which make the book very accurate and more interesting to read because at times like this you feel like you did or are witnessing JFK's assassination. Another example in the book states,"She pressed her cheek against his still warm face. She kissed his body. Then she removed her wedding ring and slipped it onto one of his fingers." This information and the details given are so precise because the author of the book knows every single small fact about the assassination and the aftermath. Some of the information doesn't even matter but it shows how absolutely nothing was left out of the book. The type of reader who would like this book is someone who is interested in American history or if they would like to learn about JFK.
