Finale

The final book I read this semester was Once we were by: Kat Zhang, this is the sequel to What's left of me. So these books are pretty easy to read not really elevated and can drag on at parts but when Zhang gets into the action or the description she really goes all out. These books are about a society (future based) where two souls are born into one body, one recessive and dominate, once you reach the age of 7 the recessive soul dies off. But there is a group called the hybrids who have both their recessive and dominate soul still living in their bodies. That's the premise and I encourage you to read these because they have a great story line and are relaxing reads. I am to read Pictures of Dorin Grey by: Oscar Wilde over the break pretty pumped.

The Knife of Never Letting Go By: Patrick Ness

The Knife of Never Letting Go

By: Patrick Ness

 

 

         I read this book for a school project last year, and let me tell you it was one of the most interesting books I read that year, compared to Under the Never sky.  This book was about a boy who lives in a town of all males, and they can all hear each others thoughts. The way Ness Portrays this is "Noise" he calls it noise an appropriate title for what it really is. A girl comes down  from a space ship to do something, and he finds her, and a crazy guy chases them and it all goes to chaos from there. And WAR! Anyway the book as much as it wants to be a sci-fi novel, doesn't truly make it there. I mean the space ship  and all that jazz but yes I Loved this book. 

The Brokenhearted By: Amelia Kahaney

 

 

 

The Brokenhearted

 

 

 

                  This book pretty much had a stupid plot and One cool aspect, and the question is: why did I enjoy it so much? It was a wanna be Batman without the intelligence. Maybe it was the intrigue of the most intense part of the book! I went in knowing this book was about to be a Romeo and Juliet novel, ya know other sides of the spectrum. But no I got a man disappearing and her searching for him and whoa plot twist!!! So I cannot give to much away about why I loved it, but whether or not you will like it is obviously all up to you. I do believe the main reason I loved it is because of her makeshift heart she gets. The cover depicts what it looks like and It is the whole reason she becomes a superhero. Also they introduce a main character halfway through the book like what?  but I give it 4.5 stars. Just because.

 

                                                 And the Well anticipated sequel is in the mail!!

 

 

 

 

Pulse

Pulse by: Patrick Carman

            After being 90 pages in you think you would have hit some sort of spark to your interest but no, no spark, only a little "okay that's weird". But it's not the kind of book that has you stay up at night reading it, or if not reading it wondering about it. I almost read this last year for my distopian sci-fi unit, but passed and went with The Knife of Never Letting Go by: Patrick Ness. I LOVED it so glad that i picked it instead of this book. I'm going to continue with it because some books need a little time to get interesting, (but 90 pages really), anyway I'm not one to abandon books so i will continue on. 

Maze Runner Book vs. Movie

 

 

The Maze Runner By: James Dashner 

Book vs. Movie

            On September 18th the movie to the bestselling book The Maze Runner ran into theaters, but does this suspenseful thriller compare to the book.

           The book was an instant hit with it's mysterious background and suspenseful chapters. On the other hand it was repetitive and predictable, all a matter of opinion. The movie on the other hand was set off by it's intensive trailer and small clips. Don't get me wrong it was a great movie just too intense to match the book. they also set up a perfect lead to make another movie but satisfying enough not to. Like the I Am Number Four movie, it ends on a; we won but we've got more to come.

           There casting was terrific they had all the characteristics described by Dashner.  

• Thomas, played by Dylan O'Brian

• Theresa, played by Kaya Scodelario

• Chuck, played by Blake Cooper  

• Minho, played by Ki Hong Lee

• Alby, played by Aml Ameen





• Newt, played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster

 

Over- all a great cast!

The Revenge of Seven By: Pitticus Lore

 The ever changing I Am Number Four series, A.K.A the Lorien Legacies, has begun to expand it's horizon of betrayal and deceit. Adding on to the stress and intensity of this story line, the man behind the scenes has choose the leader of this alien race to become the author. Pitticus Lore the Lorien leader supposedly "wrote" the book, or as it says on the front of the book. It gives the allusion of this happening in real life as does the first page stating, "ALL THE EVENTS IN THIS BOOK IS REAL" a very suspicious beginning. But the person behind Lore? James Frey and Jobie Hughes! Amazing! Over-all a positive recommendation, a great read!

"The events in this book are real.
names and places have been changed
 to protect the Lorien,
 who remain in hiding
other civilizations do exist.
some of them seek to destroy you."
