What is your favorite book of all time (or at least one of your favorites)and why?
My favorite book has probably got to be "A Stolen Life" By Jaycee Dugard. I like books that have real life situataions and autobiographies. In "A Stolen Life" Jaycee gets kipnaped, and was being sexually abuse by her kid napper for 18 years, he didnt let her say her own name or where she was from. She was forced to be a mother at 12 and then again at 14. She lived in a shed and never saw day light for 18 years. It was a tear jerker. I read the whole book in one weekend in the summer while camping, it was litterally the best book I have ever read. The book I disliked the most was probably "A Doll Life" By I have no clue. I read the first chapter and hated it!!! :)
One of my favorite books would probably be What I Call Life by Jill Wolfson. I like it because it's actually really entertaining and it's not something I would usually read. What I Call Life It is about a young girl with a really unique name, who gets sent to a group home, she learns to knit and every night she waits for her mom to come and get her. By the end of the book she realizes she likes it in the group home and she doesn't want to leave so bad anymore. She meets new people and sees the world differently.
A Child Called "It" My favorite book is A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer. I love this book because it is so sad, and it keeps you reading.
My favorite book would have to be "A Stolen Life" By Jaycee Dugard. I like books that are usually true stories and have a twist to them. A Stolen Life is about a 11 year old girl who gets kidnapped and has to live and deal with her kidnappers for 19 years. They sexually abused her and forced her to be a mother at 12 and 14 and kept her locked up in their shed for the whole 19 years with only letting her see glimpses of sunlight.People who liked "A Child Called It" would probably like this book.A Stolen Life
One of my all time favorite books is Each little Bird that Sings. I read it in 4th grade and have read it a totally of 6 times since! Probably one of the best written books of all time.
My favorite book of all time would have to be "The Hunger Games" by Suzzane Collins. The reason I like this book is because it has a lot of action and good plot and character development.
One of my favorite books of all time is Inheritance by Christopher Paolini. I read the other three books in the cycle, but I can honestly say that the concluding book was by far the best that I have read. The action and detail that he put into the final one is amazing. The ending wasn't the best but the book itself really finished the series, yet left it open to continue.
One of my favorite books of all time would have to be "Call of the Wild", by Jack London. This is my favorite book because it has very good imagery so it is more like a movie in my head. Every page wants me to keep flipping the page because of the suspense and adventure that is in the story.
MY favorite book of all time is 'Sail' By James Patterson. SailI LOVE this book because one, it is by my favorite author, and secondly, of all of the twists and turns in teh story. You think one thing, and then Patterson changes it around. So you say to yourself, "wow, that was an odd turn!" And then, he changes it again! This book easily made it to the top of my list of favorite books of all time, and i'm sure it will be up there a long time, if not forever.
The best book that I have ever read is probably "The Call of Cthulu" by H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft is up there as one of my favorite authors, and he is one of the first horror writers. I love his stories, and the grim view he always has on the future. His stories aren't so much scary, as they are devoid of hope. All of his stories are great, but "The Call of Cthulu" just happens to be my favorite.
My favorite book of all time would have to be Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. Perfect Chemistry is my favorite book because it has all the elements I love, drama, suspense and forbidden love. I loved it and if you give it a chance you'll love it too.
One of my favorite books is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I like it because it has lots of action and suspense in it. One of my favorite parts is when Harry gets a twist in the book, thinking Serius Black gave up his parents hiding spot to the Dark Lord, Voldemort, when it was actually someone else and that Serius is almost related to Harry. The ending of the book left me wanting to read the next book in the series because it was left in a humorous state, "threatening" his uncle making you want to know what happens next between him and his Uncle.
Soldier X My favorite book is soldier X. It has lots of war action and suspense. Eric the soldier gets trapped behind enemy lines. The books always keeps you guessing about what is going to happen next.
Mocking Jay is my favorite book because it's suspenseful and you never know what's going to happen next.
The book Unbroken is my absolute favorite book ever. It is about a WWII bomber that crashes at sea. The question that kept me in the book was "Will he survive or die in the heat of the battle?" This book will hold you in with a great amount of suspense. You must read this book!!!
One of my favorite books is the Maze Runner by James Dashner. I like this book because it always keeps you wanting more. I think anyone who likes action books and suspense should read this book!
My favorite book is "Summer Sisters", it is about two girls who are in the same school together and become best friends. One girl invites the other girl to come out to her summer cabin for the whole summer. Throughout the summer and summers to come, they go through drama between family, relationships and tough times but together they are able to make the best of the situation and stay together. They become so close they call themselves sisters, it's a great book with an interesting plot line and twist to it.

My favorite book would have to be 'A Child Called "IT"' by Dave Pelzer. Its so heart felt and touching. It really makes me think about how lucky I am to not have to go through things like that. It also shows how strong Dave is to be able to make it through something so horrid like that.
This book is a very good book, because it has action and suspense. Tris is living in a distopian world, where she has to decide between herself and her parents.
One of my favorite books is Forget You by Jennifer Echols. Its about a girl that gets in a car accident and she doesn't remember what happened and where she was going and doing before the accident. I think you should give it a try. I think anyone who likes romance books and dramatic books would like this one.
My favorite book that I have read recently is "The Fault in Our Stars", by John Green. I love how the story unfolds at the end and the characters in it. It makes me feel like the characters could be real in my life, or i know them somehow. I think this book is perfect for someone who wants to experience sadness and happiness.
Say The Word is one of my favorites books because it's a story about a life situation I have never been in. I usually am into the romance type books, but I like this because I can see the point of view of the daughter who is dealing with abandonment by her mother and her compulsive father.
Others who enjoy books about life lessons and teenage obstacles might like this book.
Heaven for Real is a book about a little boy who became seriously sick and had to go to the hospital. When he was operation he medically died for 3 minutes. The book tells you about how the little boy went to heaven and what he experienced. It is a great book for people that love an inspirational story.
My favorite book is probably "Between Shades of Gray" Written by Ruda Sepetys. This is my favorite book because of the suspense. I never wanted to put it down and I am glad because I can't usually find a book that I like that much. This book is about a fifteen year old girl. The time period is 1941. The fifteen year old girl named Lina,and her family, are basically taken from their home in the middle of the night and taken with the soviet army. It talks about her struggles along the path to freedom. I definitely would recommend this book to people.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is one of my favorite books because it is a intro into all the other Harry Potter books. In this book you will find suspense and in some parts you can never guess what happens next. I love all Harry Potter books and you will too. I think young teenagers will like this book.
The white Fox by Gary Paulson is one of my favorite books of all time because it was very original and the character was relatable and likable.
Elephant Run is my favorite book because it has action and adventure. It was a book I enjoyed reading the whole time.
This is my favorite book because it is about the wilderness and how he could survive such a harsh plane crash.
My favorite book is most liking Playing Hurt, By: Holly Schindler. This book is about a girl who was promised a full ride to college at one of the top schools for basketball. But it all changed when she fell during one of her last senior year basketball game. Chelsea is now held together with a metal plate in her knee, has no college ride, and feels like she doesn't even know herself. But her dad decides that is time for her to start getting her life back and signs her up for a boot camp in canada where she meets Clint, who is a ex long time hockey player and cant get his own skates back on when he has a traumatic experience. But Chelsea develops a crush on Clint but knows she has to stay loyal to her long time boyfriend at home. I love romance and suspense and this book has to perfect amount of both.

He is then contacted by someone that needs him to help get time back to normal so Jonah, his sister, and his friend Chip, who is also a missing child, are to bring back all of the missing children back to there time period and fix time. This is one of my favorite books because it keeps you on edge and it leaves you hanging which makes it all that much more interesting.
One of my favorite books I've read was "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. This book is about farm animals (obviously) who end up taking over their farm that they live in. The animals end up acting like humans and get abused by the pigs who are "in charge" and by the vicious dogs they order around. I know it might not seem that interesting but it was pretty interesting. I liked it a little bit but that's your decision on how you like the book.
My favorite book is probably The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. It's a really good story about a man (Logan) from the military that finds a pictures of a woman that gives him 'good luck' while he's in combat. When Logan returns home his goal is to find the girl in the picture. His journey across country on foot leads him to a small town in Georgia where he takes a job as a dog kennel assistant. While he is there he tries to work up the nerve to tell her how he really found her and why he came looking. This is a great read!

My favorite book is probably "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. This is my favorite book because it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I like books like that the kind where you never know what's going to happen next! Anyway this book is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen and she lives in district 12. She lives in a world named Panem. In Panem every year they pick two tributes from each district so there is a total of 24 tributes and they are put in an arena and they fight to their death and there is suppose to be only one standing and then they win the hunger games.

This book is a love story about a soldier who goes looking for the girl who's picture he found at his camp. He thinks that this picture he found is what let him live. His "lucky charm".

I have always really liked the Stephen King book, "The Stand." I like books that are post apocalyptic,,,meaning they happen after a cataclysmic event. In this case, a virus wipes out most of the population. The survivors must make choices and side with good or evil. It is a long book, but the reader entires this world and wants to know what happens next!
It is creepy and strange, but not horribly graphic.
People who like creepy stories and dystopia stories like "The Hunger Games" would probably like this book.
