Ready Player One

 I loved this book. I think had an interesting plot and had some unexpected twists and turns. This book takes place in the future where the earth is ruined and to escape all these troubles the world turns to Oasis a game which distracts the people from seeing there depressing surroundings. When the owner of Oasis dies he leaves his beloved creation to whomever can solve a puzzle he has left behind. I think this book was amazing. It had comic a comic element which was mixed with the adventure of the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing to try something new and different.

Loser

Before I write anything I just want to say that I love Jerry Spinelli, so for this book I set the bar high. Jerry Spinelli has written amazing children's classic such as Maniac Magee and Stargirl two books that would probably be in my top 20 favorites if I were to rank them. So in the nicest most professional way possible I have to say this book sucked. First off it has no real theme, the title hardly even makes any since. The main character Zinkoff (which by the way sounds like a clean fluid)  is only called loser three times: one when he loses a race, two when he's talking to himself, three when some kids are bullying him. I can begin to describe what goes on not because its confusing but because like I said before there is no theme. If I had to describe it I would say its about his life from kindergarden to his first year in middle school. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

sol

I walk into the rickety house and dodge the swinging plastic that soars at my face with a gust of wind. I look around. My surroundings seem almost unrecognizable but I can make out where I am by the set up and the smell of pine. After about an hour of taking the covers off things, turning on the electricity, and moving furniture it looks like the place were I spent my summer for as long as can remember. I sit down it feels so nice know that we turned on the ancient air conditioner.
The whole family hates it but my grandma likes to get a "full use of it" so all because of some nonsense from my grandma we our burning up all summer long. I like to think of it as a genie. If it feels kind it will grant you an escape from scorching heat. But if it is mad it will break down and stop working.

By now my mom and I our done we sit down on the couch. We sit down and turn on the TV. Ah zen at last. After five minutes the room starts heat up and I look over at the air conditioner.

You stupid genie

Carrie by Stephan King

This book was the best book I have ever read. The plot goes along at a nice pace and it leave you hanging despite the fact that you know what will happen in the end. Carrie is about a girl who has telepathic powers. She is in her Senior year and has been invited to prom by the boy of her dreams. But by the end of prom night half of the town is burning and the streets are in chaos. I would recommend this book to someone who enjoys thrillers and in open to things involving blood/gore.
