Earth Girl

Earth Girl

This book is great. Jarra isn't perfect; the reason that she signs up for a class with Norms is so that she can get some revenge on them for looking down on the Handicapped, and thus, on her. However, she's not so flawed that she's unlikable. Indeed, she's just flawed enough that we can relate with her anger and frustration, but not flawed enough that we dislike her. The world is an interesting one, but, unusually nowadays, not a dystopic one. I like dystopias, but it's refreshing to see a world where the main social conflict is on a personal level instead of being institutionalized. In fact, the government in this book is competent and compassionate, two things sorely missing from most governments in both the real world and in fictional worlds. Individual prejudices still play a part, but at least the government treats the Handicapped well.

Beautiful Creatures

Beautiful Creatures

By Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl

This book was amazing! It is a cute love story between a human named Ethan and a caster named Lena. It is amazingly written and pretty long. You will laugh and cheer the whole time! Read Beautiful Creatures, one of the best books ever. This story not be suitable for young children.

The Program

Okay, so I read just the beginning of this book, and it already talked about, you know suicide...on the first page. This book goes over sensitive topics. If you are younger, I wouldn't suggest this book, and if your 12-14 and you don't know what suicide means, I suggest you talk to a parent about it first before getting the book, and get your parents permission before reading the book, also. They may not think that you are not ready to process/read that stuff. Overall a good book.

Gods and Warriors: The Outsiders (Book One)

Gods and Warriors: The Outsiders (Book One)

By Michelle Paver

Gods and Warriors by Michelle Paver is a exciting book set in Ancient Greece, when Mycane and Crete were ruling the part of the world. The main character, a young goatherd named Hylas, is an orphan and is forced to take care of the village’s goats- against his will. He is forever an Outsider, as he has been branded, and his life gets worse. His friends and sister are attacked by strange warriors set on killing all of the Outsiders. In the midst of the battle, his dog is killed, his sister slips away and he runs off- with an arrow embedded in his arm. This sets the tone of an action-packed book filled with fights, near death and cliff hangers at every chapter. This book takes place in everywhere from the sea, islands, caves and temples. It brings you places from all over, through the eyes of a young boy and girl. The girl, Pirra, is the High Priestess daughter, who escaped from the temple and made her way to the island. Pirra and Hylas team up to find a way off the abandoned island. Along the way, Hylas ends up with a dagger that is very important- and the strange warriors, known as Crows, want it. He and Pirra have to fight their way off an island against the best warriors in the country. The plot thickens, as several characters allegiances seem to change and unknown stories are revealed in the waning moments of a great first book of the series. Michelle Paver brings to life an ancient world, and describes each moment vividly, painting an incredibly realistic picture in your head, and the action is so well explained, it’s like you’re standing in the middle of it. The strength of this book is the plotline. It’s like a roller coaster at Six Flags- the story seems to change instantly, but very smoothly. The strength is also a weakness, however. The plotline is so complex that is easy to become lost and confused. If you miss a key part- you will have no clue what’s going on. That is one of the few things I didn’t like about this book- it is tough to just casually read it, you have to be really into it. Other than that, I think it was a very good book and it ended with a question that will have to be answered in the next installment. I would recommend this to fans of Percy Jackson because it is a lot alike- just set a really long time ago. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the next book in this series.

The Rule of Three: Fight for Power

The Rule of Three: Fight for Power

By Eric Walters

The Rule of Three Is A Good Start to A Trilogy Hello this is a review to a great book called The Rule of Three. The author to this book is Eric Walters. The genre of this book is action and adventure. The Rule of Three is a story about a post apocalypse after all electronics go out. Now, I know what you're thinking, isn't that just a power outage, actually it is not, because every electronic goes out including, phones, cars, and planes. The first question I had while reading this book is why is the book called The Rule of Three. The reason the book is called that is, a human can only last on average, 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. Now that I have explained why the book is titled why it is I can summaries the story. One day at 16 year old Adam Daley's high school he was typing an essay the power goes out. Everybody is complaining that they did not save their essay, while Adam is wondering why his laptop also went out at the same time. School was dismissed early and Adam and his friend Todd went to Adams old car. But it was struggling to turn on. But in a flash it did. Adam and Todd were surprised because everyone elses car was not working. So Adam and Todd drove home but, only a few cars were working, and all of them were old. Just as they were about to reach Todds house, a huge, storm comes, what is happening. This was a great book but I feel they took a big break in between action parts. For example Adam his mom and a cop break through a window in a car to get food. But we have to wait about 80 pages to hear about the next action event. Reading this book was fun and I can't wait to read the next one.
