I adored this book. The relationships that were developed in the story had me hanging onto every word. I also loved how everything in the story was so realistic and it could actually happen. Sarah Dessen always developes everything in her story so exeptionally, from her charectors to the scenes, that i can never put the book down. I reccomend this book to any teenage girl who is looking for a book to fall in love with.

I really loved this book. Sarah Dessen's use of imagery was amazing. I could so clearly picture everything that was happening, like a movie. I loved the complexity of each individual charector. The charector's lives were so well thought out and explained that i felt like i knew them. I would reccomend this book to any girl looking for an exeptional book. I loved it.

13 reasons was about a girl named Hannah Baker who commited scuicide. Before she killed herself she made 13 cassette tapes about why she killed herself - 13 reasons why. The tapes told her story, and each tape was centered around a different person. She sent the tapes to the first person on the tapes before she killed herself. That person then had to send those tapes to the next person, and so on. The point of view of the book was from Clay, one of the people from the tapes. The book is about his struggle while listening to the tapes.

Although it was sad, i really liked this book. The author managed to twist some humor in there, and i never lost interest. 13 reasons why changed my outlook on life. It made me more aware of the people around me who may be scuicidal, or self harming. This book really brought certain issues to my attention, and i am very gratefull for that.

I am number four by Pittacus Lore was about a boy from another planet. He and nine others came from the planet Lorien, each with a cepan, or guardian. They weren't given names, they were each assigned a number, 1-9. The main charector is number four, but the fake name he gave himself is "John Smith". Evil beings from the planet Mogadore arrived on Earth to try to kill the people from Lorien. They are called Mogadorians. But because the people from Lorien each have a special charm, they can only be killed in the order of their numbers, 1-9. They already killed numbers 1, 2, and 3. John is number four, and he is next.

This book was fantastic! I loved it so much. I read this book in one day, because i just couldn't put it down. I liked the constant danger that John was in, and the adrenaline that he had. I also liked the whole idea of beings from other planets living here on earth and looking like us. I am number four really made me think about all of the possibilities out there of other life that one day we could possibly come into contact with. I loved i am number four.

The Wish List by Eoin Collifer is about a girl named Meg. Meg is in a bad time in her life and decides to go with Belch, a boy her age who is a trouble maker, to rob a old man named Lowrie. But when Lowrie catches them, threatens to shoot them, then gets attacked by Belch's vicious dog, meg runs outside to the alley. Belch then takes Lowrie's gun, goes out to the alley, and tries to shoot Meg, but misses. The bullet hits the gas tank behind Meg, and they both die. Belch goes to Hell, but Meg's auora is purple, half red, half blue. So Meg gets to try to save her soul by going back, as a spirit, to grant Lowrie his last wishes, before time runs out, or the devil gets her.

I really enjoyed this book. I Iiked how the author portrayed the concept of Heaven and Hell. Eoin described how she saw Heaven and Hell so well, that it felt like I was a spirit drifting along "The Tunnel". Eoin also did an excellent job of describing the devil. She gave him such a specific personality, and distinctive charectoristics. I loved how well I was able to picture the story, due to the wording and the descriptions. But I also like how creative Eoin Collifer got when it came down to Lowrie's wishes and Meg's powers. They were just so unexpected but i can't be specific because I don't want to give it away. The Wish List is so different than any other book that I have ever read. I would reccomend it to anyone who appreciates reading really good books, and who takes the time to really imagine show more everything that the author has written down. show less
