If I stay


I really liked this book. It was well written and had nice conflicts. The story is about a girl who gets into a car crash. Her ghost ( spirit, soul, essence I honestly don't know) is witnessing her the commotion at the hospital while contemplating whether or not she should die or wake up from the coma she is currently in, and continue on with her life. It feels dry real and is very easy to get lost in. I would recommend this book to just about anyone in our class.

The Aviary

I honestly didn't really like this book. The plot is clever and the charecters are nice but honestly I didn't like the way it was written. The writers idea of a story with a gothic twist is basically adding badly timed dark moments making it sound desperate. It also has a boring pace and I found it hard to stay interested. The story is about a young girl who lives in a house with her mother an old widow and another servant. The old widow passes away but her husband left a sum of money to keep the house in prime condition in the case that there long lost son will return. I wouldn't reccomend this book to anyone unless the want to be bored out of there mind.

The Aviary

I honestly didn't like this book. Maybe it was to young for me or maybe I don't like the tone it's written in but I don't like it. I think that if I was a little younger I could enjoy it more but at my age I don't enjoy it. The story is about a young girl who lives in a house with her mother an old widow and another servant. The old widow passes away but her husband left a sum of money to keep the house in prime condition in the case that there long lost son will return. Then it turns into a mystery to find what became of the son and by then I have already lost interest. I think I might have enjoyed this better at a younger age and with a more relatable lead but currently I find it exetremly boring.
