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.

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.

The Help

The Help is an spectacular book that is close to impossible to put down. The Help is set during the 1960s in the south were, at the time there was a lot of controversy over civil rights. This book is set in Jackson Mississippi and is from the point of view of, Aibleen a housekeeper who works at the Leefolt's, Minny who was fiered from her job at the Holbrooks who are friends of the Leefolt's, and from Miss Skeeter whom is trying to write book about being a housekeeper. This book is not only sweet but is suspenseful and funny. I would recommend this to people who enjoy historical fiction.

slice of life

I push open the door. It takes a second shove but it finally gives in.
FACT 1 : Our front door is older than dirt.
I walk out to the warm embrace of summer sunset. I slam the door behind me. I swear if I have to spend one more second with my little cousin I will blow my brains out.
FACT 2 : I can not stand my little cousin
That girl is the most manipulative, spoiled brat I have ever met (and probably will meet but only time will tell).
I look across the porch to my swing. The paint is faded, The rope is frayed, It can only swing one way which is into the tree it's hung from yet these are the things I love about it. I twist my fingers in the frayed rope while I am on it, and I have made a game out of seeing how long I can push of the tree without using my hands.
I walk across my yard to the swing. I back up and stand on one of the tree roots with the bark of the tree pressing my back. I tighten my hand on the rope and jump.
I feel the breeze tug at my hair as I swing forward. I use my legs to move the swing at a point were I can kick off the tree. I point my heels out so I can push of easily. The bark presses to my feet and then disappears. I smile. The is so easy and simple, I feel like I could just float off…
" There you are Sloan I have been looking everywhere for you"
I would know that awful sickly sweet voice anywhere.
Oh god
FACT 3: My cousin can find me from mile away
I force a smile on to my face.
"Hi Alice"
" Oh my god I had the most stressful day, I had to work with this girl at school who bothers me so much"
"Oh really"
sound familiar.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

This thrilling classic represents the struggle between two souls in one body. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is being told from the point of Mr Utterson an old lawyer whom has been tangled into the mysterious will of his friend Henry Jekyll, Who has requested that in the circumstance of his death or disappearance his fortune is to be given to a cruel and mysterious Mr Hyde. I believe that this book had a very stimulating start although it has dissatisfying end. I would recommend this novel to an individual who is interested in mental disorders.
