I really like this book I think it is amazing

I really like this books. I like the parts I understand but unfortunately I do not understand a lot of it.

I think the poetic aspect of this story really makes this book what it is. I think that a really large amount of this book is hidden under the word and you need to take a philosophical look at it to see it.

I think Edgar Allen Poe was a very dark person and an excellent writer. I think to many people dislike classics for the old style but if any writer is more modern than Edgar Allen Poe I will give them a pat on the back and a trophy. (jk)

I really wish more people wrote in the style of Edger Allen Poe.

The first story I read was called The Pit and the Pendulum. I though this story was very dark and quite gruesome. I think that Edgar Allen Poe is very good at describing things.

I wonder how they ship food for the astronauts if it is not freeze dried. I wonder if they have mold up in space.

I think this book has many interesting topics and subjects. I think that the story is at times not completely polished, and that the characters sometimes seem out of character. For example at one point a girl who is a snitch become friends with her enemy without a reason.

I think the plot to this book is amazingly creative but I find it irritating how the writing shifts from first to third person quite often.

I think a good example of the undertaking of space is for instance the fact it took over 4 years to design a flag that would fly in space.

Did you know that Japan tests their astronauts by keeping them in a confined room and making them do origami ? I thought that was interesting and very creative.

I was curious today if there is actually a point to traveling in space besides from the science i think there is a moral point to it.

I think the exploration of space is more or less really the exploration of what is possible. Governments spend billions of dollars trying to get to space but what true purpose is there to landing a man on Mars.

I am finding some really interesting things that I did not know about space travel before this book, for instance that some people in space can't stop throwing up.

This book is interesting and is really good at explaining crazy, curious things, like taking a cadaver into space to crash test things but end up playing with it.

I wonder what happened to Alex that caused him to be so distant all the time. I think Julian needs to prove himself to the group.

I was right Alex is alive. I wonder if Alex and Julian will have a conflict over lem.

I think Alex may still be alive. I do not know why I think this but Alex dying seems too abrupt.

I think Hook is not that bad and just wants a mother to love him. I wonder if Hook came from a rich family because he has manners.

I wonder what happened to Miranda's boyfriend to make him evil and prompt Em to kill him. I think Em should just try to make him feel better.

"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul."

2013 was a great year for books and book readers early in to 2014 it seems like this year will only be better hope you feel the same

I really like the sentence that describes the red in Hooks eye. "The red in his eye had caught sight of Peters medicine standing on a ledge within easy reach". I think the red in his eye represents his evil side.

I think the way in which J.M. Berrie compares the lagoon to closing your eyes shut hard is very creative. The way he describes that flash of color as the lagoon is very imaginative.

I love the way this book describes difficult things in a very easy to comprehend manner. For example comparing hacking to trying to find a phone number when you can not remember it.

I truly feel bad for Tinkerbell
because she is not that bad a fairy despite trying to kill Wendy several times.

I think the main character's progression in this book is truly admirable. I think this because she starts off as a mean, popular kid and ends up actually caring about others and how they feel.

I think now that Sam has gotten the idea to be nice to people she now may actually get to tomorrow. She may just learn to accept to be in the present though.
