An absolutely and astoundingly amazing book, Victor Hugo paints a detailed masterpiece that encourages actual thought. It is impossible to relate the whole story - a simple attempt would take hours. All in all, it's about one person's desperate, miraculous life and all who touch or effect this gem. Read it every waking minute of every day.
After Laura Hame unleashes her nightmare upon the unsuspecting public, the adventure unfolds. To speak of anything beyond an "adventure" would certainly make many future readers unhappy, as new concepts and added equations to the complexity of Laura's predicament unfold through each chapter of this book. Not my favorite type of book, but it certainly left me with lasting emotions. Lovely, but alright.
An inspiring book, "Firegirl" reaches readers on a more personal level. A girl trapped in a fire with burns disfiguring her whole body moves to a town in order to seek medical help. There, she attends a catholic school, where she is shunned by everyone but a young boy; a neighbor. He is the only one who will hold her hand in the prayer circle, and learns her story, choosing her over a ride in a hot red rare sports car. This story is a great one, but the only upset for me is the way it's written. I look for colorful, descriptive language, and although I love the story, it didn't work for me.
A book full of truth, "Monster" was enjoyable, but not satisfying enough. It leaves a question in your mind, however - did he or didn't he? An okay book.
An absolutely stunning book, the renowned story of Romeo and Juliet had me hooked at the first page. The Shakespearean language was beautiful and rich - a refreshing language after hearing "OMG!!" shrieked on high voices all day. A definite favorite.
I was intrigued by this book, and half-heartedly wanted to read the sequel, but was enormously bored throughout the book. I wouldn't recommend it too strongly.
An amazingly rich and well-written book, Joseph Delarney spins a fantastic tale of a young boy apprenticed to the local Spook, a man that rids the world of things that go bump in the night. Mistakes are made, friendships form, and choices are made in the nightmare of boggarts, witches, and the boogeyman. A wonderful read that makes even the most run and hide personalities glue themselves in place and keep reading. Phenomenal.
This book revealed the shocking truth of high school - you are a) accepted b) rejected or c) stuck horribly in between. For Tyler, c is the answer to life. When he becomes the "cool guy" at school after vandalizing a couple thousand dollars worth of school property, he swiftly changes from "geek" to "cool guy," and begins to date the prettiest girl in school, until he's caught up in the latest scandal - one he did not participate in.
Readers around the world will enjoy Tyler's sense of humor, but also see that there are people struggling, struggling to be seen and heard, and suppressing that will be like blowing too much air into a balloon - it will eventually pop. Four stars.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. My English teacher cornered me and forced me to read it - and I was glad. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel.
All of those books were amazing. Now THAT'S some amazing work!
A VERY good book - I would recommend it, but I wouldn't back you into a corner trying to get you to read it.
"Peeps" was a wonderful book - this sequel got on my nerves. It was too... not entirely working. It was a good book, don't get me wrong, but Westerfeld has had better days.
This book was only okay - something you wouldn't expect from Westerfeld. I wouldn't recommend it.
The first book of the Gemma Doyle trilogy kicks of an astounding masterpiece in fantasy, fiction, and real-world life. Wonderful.
Squeamish readers beware. This book is a very well-written "sequel" to Bram Stokers "Dracula," and is true to it. I found it to be somewhat of an odd story, but that may just be my own personal preferences.
The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume 1: The Pox Party: Volume One: The Pox Party by M. T. Anderson
The diction used in this book impressed me very much. It was an interesting story, although it started out slowly. Try it, but if you don't like it, find another use of your time.
We read this book for English class, and it was absolutely AMAZING. Every single person in my group (we were all girls) broke down and sobbed at the end. Narrated by Death, the book takes on a sad yet agreeable tone as Leisel Meminger takes on life. The sadness is well worth the feeling you walk away with. A must-read.
This book was recommended to me again and again until I gave in and read the book. It was wonderful! It was a typical fantasy book, but at the same time is was a break from the normal-fantasy rut.
An all right book. An uplifting story, but also a very depressing one. I wouldn't recommend it.
A book rich in fantasy, "Brisinger" is the third edition to the Inheritance Cycle. Paolini does not disappoint his readers in the third sequel - these books double in quality as the story goes on.
I devoured the book "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle." I found it sad, but an amazingly good book. I couldn't pull myself away from it!
