Which would you choose? Vampire or werewolf? The third book in the Twilight series written by Stephanie Meyers is called Eclipse. This book is a story with romance, action, drama, and fantasy. In all of the books the main character is Bella. The author sort of made a pyramid of characters with Bella at the top. Edward and Jacob are the second most important characters. Then it is all the other characters after them. Bella is an awkward girl in the beginning, but when she meets Edward she is very loving and honest. Then when she meets Jacob she is friendly and more easy going. Ever since then she’s been more bold and daring. She isn’t as quiet and shy as she used to be. The setting in Eclipse is a town in Washington. Forks is a small, closely knit town. It is described as the rainiest places on earth by the residents in the town.
After almost becoming a vampire, and heading to Italy to save Edward’s life. All while battling evil vampires. The third book isn’t that much different. There are mysterious disappearances happening in Seattle, and the Cullens suspect it has to do with vampires. An old foe of theirs, Victoria comes back to haunt them. A huge battle against Victoria’s newborn vampire army brings the Cullens and wolves together to protect the people of Forks. Will they succeed or will Edward need to avenge Bella?
I honestly like the entire series. The third book is one of my top favorites. I think it is a drama that would drag the readers in and never let show more them go. The target audience for this book is pre teens and teens. Or adults could read this book. This is because while the author clearly writes with passion and involving scenes that draw the reader in, she writes about mature yet hilarious scenes. Her books also have a darkness to them about seeing inner beauty, and the mood can become serious. show less

The Lutz’s definitely judged a book by its cover. The house looked warm and inviting, it had a nice backyard, in a good neighborhood. They knew about the house’s history, and the past residents’ experiences, but they weren’t superstitious. They didn’t know until it was too late. they didn’t do anything until it affected everyone. The Amityville Horror written by Jay Anson tells of a true story when a family lives in a haunted house with demon spirits. It is an obvious example of a horror book.
The main characters make up a family of five; George, Kathleen, Christopher, Daniel, and Melissa. There are main characters that aren’t living like Robert Defeo and Jodie. George and Kathleen were thirty at the time, and they didn’t believe in ghost stories. In the beginning of the story they were brave and collected. Near the end of the book the two adults are scared out of their wits, and they think irrationally. That just makes them human. The children are like everyone when they were of the ages seven, five, and nine. The boys were adventurous and daring, while Missy still believed in fairies and magical animals. She was girly and delicate. Robert and Jodie were spirits haunting the Lutzs’. They really didn’t have human qualities, but they were manipulating and frightening as spirits. They tricked the family by moving objects, noises, and shadows. The house that they were living in was a Dutch Colonial, with all the requirements that they were looking for; a show more pool big yard. The house was appealing in every way to them.it was a nice housein a nice neighborhood, but everyone in the area was afraid to get near the house based on what Robert did.
The family buys the house, and they spend a few weeks there before leaving without an explanation. Between that time, they had been experiencing what they thought were burglar visits in the night, but there would be no sign of anything human. They added locks to their door, and they next morning they locks would be completely intact on a table instead of a door. The children saw shadows and figures coming in their room at night. Missy made a new friend. she drew pictures of them together. Just Missy and her pig. When she told her father, he didn’t believe her. Then one night he saw a blurry figure in the shape of a pig in his backyard. The next morning they were pig foot prints leading away from the house. The house was always cold, even when they had multiple fires going with layers of clothes on. All of these strange encounters started the spark of their idea to leave the house. The problem throughout the whole story is the house and what it has been doing since they were living there.
In my opinion the book didn’t live up to my expectations. I thought it would be worse, and more thrilling. I was wrong. I didn’t like it at all. This book might be good for people who aren’t scared easily or they won’t wet their pants. This book doesn’t make you want to stay up all night afraid that a murderer will come in your sleep. You’d expect some creepy killings or worse in the book, but there wasn’t any. There might have been noises and shadows, but all houses have those. Jay Anson could’ve done a better job in the beginning to catch the reader's’ attention. He started off with facts that caused me to want to skip over them. As soon as I started the book I wished I never chose to read it. He lost my interest in the middle of the story. The way he described the characters made me want to stop reading it. Based on the way he wrote this book, there was nothing that I liked about it. show less

In my opinion the book is a little to descriptive in parts that have nothing to do with the story. The author could have not added so much detail to things that weren't important. The plot and background story is eventful and it leaves the readers on the end of their seats. This is because the author will become in depth into the detail of things that aren't important and it seems to make the book drag on slowly. The author has suspending details and actions in the story, but she could have added more scenes in the story instead of describing everything in so much detail. The audience for this book would be everyone older than thirteen year olds. Some of the scenes that happen might be to in depth for younger readers. show less

With three tablets, and being told what to do, Cassia Reyes finally stands up and goes to look for a better future. Reached by Ally Condie is the final book in the Matched trilogy. The genre of the book is romance, realistic fiction because it could happen, and it is futuristic based on the events and details in the book.
The books are based off of a love triangle, and the three main characters are Cassia, Ky, and Xander. The setting of the story is hard to describe because the book takes place in the future, and they are more advanced in technology than real life people today. The people call themselves the Society, but it isn’t really like that at all. If you live there there are barely any trees. The people don’t have cars, everyone just travels by train. The land is made up of different surfaces, there are hills, deserts, lakes, and plains, along with cliffs and mountains. Cassia is a curious, spirited girl. She loves poetry, her family, and wants everything to be right in the world. Ky is a shy, intelligent, quiet boy who is an outcast because of where his family lived. Xander is an outgoing, funny, clever character who will do anything to keep his home safe.
In the first book it describes all the laws that the society has. They choose who you marry, what your job is, and where you live. People there are only allowed to have two children, and everyone has to die at eighty years old. Certain people are labeled and then they are restricted against laws. Cassia is show more paired up with Xander, but when she looks again she sees another face, Ky’s face. Throughout the first two books she learns who she loves and wants to be with. Then when she is separated from him she works to get back to her one true love. Along the way she meets new friends and learns about her past and her people’s past. In the second book there is an illness going around and each of the three main characters play a part in finding a cure leading into the third and final book.
The book seemed a little slow, and there wasn’t enough action to make people want to change it. It just didn’t give itself justice, it could have been better. This is because the author described a lot of the setting without anything happening in that part, and it got to be predictable. The correct audience for this book would probably be middle school students, ages eleven to fourteen. The reason that is because it isn’t a challenging book, it didn’t have difficult words that middle school students wouldn’t know. The author could have livened up the story plot a bit because in the third book everything started to slow down making it become boring. If she had made it more interesting and kept the reader’s attention it would be a very good book. show less
