50x66 Hey! Great review, you make the book sound extremely interesting, as I'm sure it is. I started to read the book but stopped, maybe I'll start reading it again. Thanks!

50x66 Awesome review Kim! I like how you used the quote, also you made it sound really interesting. I myself have read the book, and your review confirms what I thought of the story of Virginia.
50x66 Thanks! XD

50x66 Ever wonder what going on in the mind of a kid an autistic kid? Well in this book, the main character is an autistic child that tells the story through his eyes and thoughts. "This is an amazing novel. An amazing book." -The Dallas Morning Star. I really liked this book because it is told in a different way than most stories. It is a really interesting book that will make most laugh. I would recommend this book to anyone really, it is a book for any kind of gender and as long as you understand it, for any age. It was named a New York Times Notable Book. Another book by the author are The Talking Horse and The Sad Girl And the Village Under the Sea. I really liked this book and if you like funny interesting books, I think you will too.

50x66 "'This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.'" (PG 490). What would you do is the world you live in was slowly ending with extreme heat, droughts and no green in sight for mile because of the choice of the person who you loved more than life itself? The choice of Lena Duchannes the claim herself for both Light and Dark has broken the Order and now, Dark casters get a chance to remake it to their liking. Ethan Wate, who still loves Lena, must once more save the world. However to forge a new order a sacrifice must be made. This is one of the books that stay for you for weeks even after you finish them. I absolutely love this series. I would recommend this book for both genders and for people in their pre teen or teen years. Other books by this author are, Beautiful Creatures, and Beautiful Darkness. These are the two other books before Beautiful Chaos in the series. "A hauntingly delicious dark fantasy." -Cassandra Clare, author of City of Bones. I couldn't agree more Cassandra Clare!

50x66 Hi Rickey, I actually started to read the Percy Jackson series but stop eventually because I got disinterested, but I think I will give it another try, thanks for persuading me!

50x66 I have been wanting to read this book for quite a while, however I had never had to chance to because I have been busy reading other books. To be honest I had forgotten all about it. However, now, I thank you for writing this book review that makes me remember the emotion of the book and getting me to want to read it again. Thanks!

50x66 Hello Kim, good job in your book review, I also love to read emotional stories. I think that they make the story special and sort of life like. Thanks to your book review I want to read this book. Is it here in the library of it is yours? And can I borrow it?

50x66 "Ezperanza. I have inherited her name, but I don't want to inherit her place by the window." (pg. 11) Ezperanza, the main character, wants to find her own identity. What would you do in her position if you were still trying to figure yourself out and also having to deal with the embarrassment she feels living on the house on Mango Street? I personally would be overwhelmed. This book was a pretty good book, even though some of it's chapters/vignettes were confusing. I like this book enough to recommend it to other people of 12 years old and up. This book is kind of complex to follow, but over all it is a nice book. Edwidge Danticat quoted, "The House on Mango Street is o succinct, funny, and beautiful that it is timeless. It's poetry and song with yearning and love that we can all recognize. It's one of those books that we will be reading for a very long time."

50x66 No more adults... would it truly be better without adults or rules? The kids in the story of Gone face life without order or adults when anyone above the age of fifty suddenly disapeared. "Life in Perdido Beach had changed. Something big and terrible had happened. Sam hoped he was not the cause." I liked this book a lot, it kind of made me think back when I used to wish that there was no adults or rules. This books kind of shows you what could really happen without adults, though it does has a twist of action, powers and romance. "This intense, marvelously, plotted, paced, and characterized story will immediately garner comparisons to Lord Of The Flies, or even the long-playing world shifts of Stephen King, with just a dash of X-Men for good measure. A potent mix of action and thoughtfulness-centered around good and evil,courage and cowardice-renders this a tour de force that will leave readers dazed, disturded, and utterly breathless."-ALA Booklist (starred review)I recommend this book to young adults who think that life without adults would be better, so they could reconsider. Other books by Michael Grant are Hunger and Lies. An amazing story with a lot of thought prevoking events, Gone.

50x66 Have you ever had to make a decission that would change your entire world and self? If you have, then you have been in Tris's shoes. This book is much like the Hunger Games, it has action, death and love in it, which is why I loved it so much. I would recommend this book to teens, 11 and up, who like a good action story with romance tisted in it. THis book has won the best book of 2011 award and many more! Other books be her are Instrugent and Alliegent, the next books in the series. I love this book!!!

50x66 Nice quote. Great job on your book review, I have never read the Percy Jackson series, but because of your review, I might start it!
Mar 05, 2014 09:02PM

50x66 I have read that book, and I say that your book review really makes the book seem great, as it is a great story! Good job!

50x66 "Lena Duchannes. I couldn't breathe. I knew she had green eyes; I'd seen them before. But tonight they looked different-different from any eyes I had ever seen. They were huge and unnaturally green, an electric green, like lightning from the Strom. Standing in the rain like that, she almost didn't look human." P.g 43. What if your girlfriend was a caster that was about to be claimed in her sixteenth birthday and she either went dark or light, bad or good? Ethan Waite has to go through this. Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl is the first book of the series. The rest of the book by them are Beautiful Darkness, Beautiful Chaos,and Beautiful Redemption. They all the same series." A hauntingly delicious dark fantasy."- Cassandra Clare, New York Bestselling author of City of Bones quoted. I agree with her, it was a story with a good problem and good suspense. I would recommend this book to people who liked Twilight and to people who love suspense and action. This is a great book!
Tiger's Curse (3 new)

50x66 "I was dying. I knew it. At least the pain was gone. I wanted to tell him that I loved him. Then darkness overtook me..." If you met a prince that was more than 300 years old and under a curse, would you follow him to India and help him break it? In the book Tiger's Curse, by Colleen Houck, that is exactly what Kelsey Hayes did. Tiger's Curse is the first book in this amazing series. The other books in the series, also by Colleen Houck, are Tiger's Quest, Tiger's Destiny, Tiger's Vollage and yet to come, the last book in the series, Tiger's Dream. "... a sweet romance and heart-pounding adventure. I found myself cheering, squealing, and hitting my nails-all within a few pages. In short, Tiger's Curse is magical!"- Becca Fitzpatrick, New York Times Best-selling author of Hush, Hush. I totally felt the same way as Becca, I cried, laught and jumped up many times during this amazing story! This is by far one of the best stories I have ever read. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure and romance a lot, probably people 11 and up. Amazing story please, if you ever have time read it!!
