Miriam’s comments from the Class of 2015 group.

Sounds like a sad and full of surprises kind of story! You made me want to read it, great job! Is there a line in which I have to wait, or can I read it?

Ah, I don't know what I would do if my mom left me Kimberly! Good job on your book review, you made me want to find out more about the book. I think I'll read it.

Looks like an interesting book! Do we have it in the school libary because I think that I might be interested in that kind of book. Kind of like adventure and action rolled into one kind of book.

Good jod, your review is full of suspense! I already read this book but the qeustions in your book review made me think of it again. Its those kind of questions that, for me, need that Cha, Cha, Chan sound effect at the end!

I had finished raeding the book called Graceling by Kristan Cashore. It was a very exciting, sad book. Will Katsa be able to take Bitterblue,a young princess, safly away from her mad father, King Leck? And will katsa be stong eneough to overcome leck's grace with words and murder his so his town will be freed from his lies? When I started to read this book, I couldn't stop. It is a very suspensive book where a character changes a lot. It was a great story! I was happy and a tiny, little bit sad at the ending. I would recomend this book to young adults who like action, fantasy and romance. Kristan Cashore has also written Fire and Bitterblue. Garling is like Fire, which makes sense because Fire is the sequel to Graceling, because in both books an important character changes a lot through out the story. Here are some qoute from another famouse writter. " A brilliant, unforgetable story. I comsumed Graceling in one sitting, awed by its originality, breadth, and humanity.... Thisbook is extraordinary." -Catherine Gilber Murluck, auther of Dairy Queen. Here is a qoute from the book, "Stop there. It's clear enough wahst you are." His voice was even. He was brave, this one. he cut the air with his sword in warning. ' You don't scare me." Please read!

The Pearl
I read The Pearl, and in my opinion it was a great story, with a lot of suspence. I, for one, got susprised by the super sad ending, it was almost like the ending in Tuck Everlasting, with the same mixture of saddness and happiness. "This pearl has become my soul," said Kino, "If I give it up I shall lose my soul." Will Kino be able to give up the pearl that brings evil? Or will he fall for selfishness? Jhon Steinbeck, the auther, has written other great books, like Cup of Gold, The Pastures of Heaven, and many more. The Pearl has won awards, it's that great. I would definatly recommend this book to young adults who like suspense and who like to cry, it definatly made me cry.
