the book i choose or i should said was interduced to was a book called outsiders. i like the book a lot its about two gangs, the socs and the greasers and they fight every time they see each other. the opening of the book started like this. "need a haircut, greaser?" the medium-size blond pulled a knife out of his back pocket and flipped the blade open. just a little sneak peek of what the book is about
ReplyDeletesounds good! why do they hate each other so much and want to fight every time they see each other?
DeleteThis book does sound very interesting have ypou found out why they hate each other yet.
DeleteI remember reading this book in middle school. its a very interesting book. Stay Golden Ponyboy
DeleteThis book seems highly suspense. What made you want to read it?
DeleteI read this book in middle school, and I enjoyed it very much. Why did you want to read this book?
Deletei choose my book The Death Cure because its part of the maze series and i have read every book besides The Death Cure, so it really wasn't that hard to choose this book because i already knew it would be a great book. The character Thomas and his friends got their memories taken away from a man called "rat man" because there is a outbreak in a diseases and he thinks the cure is in their memories.
ReplyDeleteHow are you enjoying the book so far? Does it keep you engaged?
DeleteI've always heard good things about Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, so I've always wanted to read it. When I read the list of the suggested books, it was pretty obvious what book i was going to choose. The beginning so far has been probably the most funny book I've ever read. There is a lot of underlying humor in almost every page of the book. I really enjoy my choice, and I look forward to finishing it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this book aiming for?
DeleteHitchhiker's Guide is probably the funniest book ever written. "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." Douglas Adams is a literary genius.
DeleteHitchhiker's Guide is one of the funniest and most out there books I have ever read. I hope you enjoy all the crazy things that happen and exist in the Hitchhiker universe.
Deletewhat are looking forward to in the book?
DeleteI choose Gentleman by Michael Northrop. The cover of the book looked very interesting. I look for a book that is small has good title and the cover has some mystery to it. The book starts super slow and still hasn't picked up yet. Not hooked yet:(
ReplyDeleteIs there a reason why you are not hooked yet? Is it to slow or just not what you expect to read. But i also feel the same way about my book because i have not gotten hooked to it yet either.
Deletehave you actually gotten into the book? You probably need to get in a little ways first before the story starts to line up and it gets interesting.
DeleteThe book I chose to read is Lone Survivor, the eyewitness account of Operation Redwing in Afghanistan. I chose to read this because I really enjoy books about war, especially when it is a true event. Also, I have seen the movie and have always heard that books are better than movies so I thought I would give it a try. The start to Lone Survivor is pretty interesting. Marcus Luttrell, the main character and "lone survivor", is on a huge cargo airplane with his team going to Afghanistan. During the flight, he has large flashbacks moments to talk about where he came from and how he got to where he is. In the beginning and end of each chapter, he is in reality, but in the middle of chapters, he has been talking about his past and upbringing. My initial thoughts are about as I expected, Marcus gets into the action really quick and opens my eyes to what it is like to be a United States Navy Seal.
ReplyDeleteI think war books give you the most realistic point of view. From hearing about some of their stories you can sort of understand what these guys have gone through.
DeleteSo far is the book as good as the movie? I was just wondering because i thought the movie was really good.
DeleteAt the moment is the book similar to the movie, or is it a much different adaptation?
DeleteI chose the book The Rookie Arrives because I couldn't find anything else that seemed to interest me as much. I found this book by starting in the library and walking around looking for something interesting and couldn't find so i came to the room and looked on the shelf and found this one. There was not any specific reason that i chose it other then i figured its about sports so i could understand it a little better. It starts of where with Ted a kid just out of high school going to play baseball for the Royals and he thinks hes going to be playing non stop from the start but he soon learns he is not going to get all that he wants. I would not say im hooked but it is a very interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI chose the Book of Man a Navy Seal. the reason I chose this book is because it teaches you different skill you might want or might need to know in the future. what I had to do to get my book is at my house. it starts when Derrick (the main character) explains the difference of a man and a male. A man will protect someone els and put themselves in harms way for someone els. A male will sit back and watch it happen instead of helping the person.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you liked the book so far
DeleteI also like to read books that teach you about the NAVY.
DeleteThe final book I choose to read it The River by Gary Paulsen. I chose this book because I have read this author before and he really stands out to me and I knew this book followed off the previous book I ready by him, Hatchet. Once I started reading I could easily recall all of the parts that were brought up from Hatchet even though its been a great number of years since I actually read it because it starts off with Brian getting a visit from government survival instructors asking him to redo his time in the woods all over again and each memory that was brought up I could remember reading about. I think this will be a great book as I have ad multiple people tell me they enjoyed it and I personally like this author
ReplyDeleteI remember reading this book a few years ago and I really enjoyed because it gets really good in the middle.
DeleteBoth are very good books, and although it has been a number of years since I have read them as well, I still remember most of it. Very good reads.
DeleteI also read this book it is a good flowing read that gets very interesting towards the middle of the book. Gary Paulsen always has seemed to have good books to read.
DeleteThe book that I picked was The absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. I choose this book because I heard it was a good book to read. I kinda just heard about the book and went to the library and asked for it. As of right now the book started off pretty good and easy to read. The book is pretty easy to get hooked on to and easy to read.
ReplyDeleteI have been told that this was a good book to read also. my book was kind of the opposite where my book dropped a bunch of information on me rad away.
DeleteI chose the book, The Road, after Xander Keck was like yeah this stuff is gruesome and violent and I'm like "Oh, hell yeah". So I chose the book and its really good. My initial thot of this book is its a lot of emptiness but the details are worth it.
ReplyDeleteAre those your favorite types of books?
Deletethat's awesome! What was the initial thought of this book?
Delete@kenny its really gruesome and full of vivid details.
Delete@Brandon idk i guess so
Is it a tough read for you? because when I read it I could never keep track of who was talking because it was written so weird.
DeleteThe first thought of this book was very interesting, with have the main character having a passion for running, I was able to connect with him more easily. That's one reason why I picked this book. another reason is the history behind it and I love history. the book I chose was unbroken
ReplyDeleteIts good that this is something that you can relate to. What made you want to stick with it?
DeleteIt stuck with me really easily, to me track is very exciting to do and read about. So i'm kinda hooked on this book now!
DeleteIf you had to choose what would be your favorite thing about the main character Louie? Mine would have to be how crazy and wild he was as a kid :)
Deletethe beard bros lol but dose this book show anything in your life that has something to do with your brother.
DeleteI read this book back in the day dragon8696 and what is your favorite part?
DeleteI picked American Sniper. I picked this book because I liked the movie. I picked this book because i like books about war. I think this book is going to be a very good read. It starts out in Texas and he talks about his childhood. I'm hooked in this book.
ReplyDeleteThat book hooked me as well. I could not put the book down sometimes. Chris Kyle, with aid from other writers, do a very good job recreating what happened through text. A lot of times I could vividly see what he was talking about.
DeleteThis book is just awesome. It is a great read about what he has gone through during his time alive. This book will definitely get you hooked.
Deletethat book was going to be my third book, since it talks about Chris Kyle and what it was like for him to be in war and dealing with PTSD which was why I like the movie and wanted to read the book.
DeleteAbsolutely loved the movie, it was very inspiring! I could easily see how the book would get you hooked into reading it so much.
DeleteI also really liked the movie, and have thought about reading the book before. I am not a fan of books about war, but I think i would like american sniper
DeleteI would defiantly recommend this book to anyone.
DeleteI think war books are the best also. they really intrigue me
DeleteThe book that I chose for my last book is called a higher call, by Adam Makos with Larry Alexander, who is a ww2 pilot who helped tell the story. I chose this book because we had it at my house and my dad said it was a good book. So that is why I picked the book. So far I think this is a good book, in the beginning the book starts out after ww2 in Germany, then it goes to before ww2 where there ww1 pilots are showing kids to fly with a glider. This book is pretty good so far, and I think I will get really good soon.
ReplyDeleteDoes the book focus more on the gory side of the war, or the more strategic side?
Deletewould you like to learn how to drive the glider.
DeleteI had chosen to read A Full Life by Jimmy Carter. I have found learning about a President's life story, very fascinating. My dad has a collection of books at home and it was just a mater of finding one to read. I have already read about Ronald Reagan's attempted assassination and I loved the layout of the novel. I personally don't know too much about Jimmy Carter so my instincts told me to read this book. A Full Life, starts off with Carters younger age of him working on the farm with his father. The beginning six pages start off slow but Carter adds his own personals drawings and poems to add vision. The book is starting to get more in depth about his time and the office and the different situations he had to deal with. I am currently liking how there are many different short stories within on. It breaks things up and allows more stories to be shared.
ReplyDeleteThe first couple pages in you said it was kind of slow, were you thinking that you wish you didn't pick this book? I did the same thing with my fist book of the series, I just picked it out and started reading it. I am glad with my choice, what about you?
DeleteI also enjoy learning about people's lives and the struggles they go through to get to the point that they are at. I think the pictures would be a great asset to the novel and making it come to life more.
DeleteThe book I chose was The Hobbit because I like the Lord of the Rings series. My initial thought of the book is that it is very well written and keeps you hooked.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this book about?
DeleteIt is about a hobbit who travels with dwarves and Gandalf(a wizard) and the adventure is told through Bilbo's point of view.
DeleteHow close to the movies is this book?
DeleteCan you relate to this book in any way? You know.. cuz youre short
Delete@Zach the movies are very similar except for the second movie. The rest go by the book
Deletewhat has kept you hooked on this book so far? anything exciting happen?
Delete@Xander yeah... it's loosely based on my life
DeleteThe book I choose was Dawn I choose this book because I read the book Night and I really enjoyed that book so I thought I should keep furthering my reading withe the series. When I talked to Mrs. Broadbent bout that I really enjoyed the book Night so she told me there is a series so I choose the next book. This book is good but I liked Night a lot better. The book is moving really slow so I am not completely hooked yet. The book starts with stories of what he experienced.
ReplyDeleteIs this book a hard read like Night was? How many more books are in the series? I also picked my book because it was the second one in the series and I liked the first book.
DeleteI have also read Night and I really enjoyed reading that book. Does Dawn tell stories about after he got out of the Holocaust? I feel that I would enjoy the book if it were to be more fast paced.
Deleteis Dawn a continuation For Elli Welsh surviving the Holocaust or what happen to him when and what he had to go through after he survived the Holocaust?
DeleteIt is awesome that you chose to continue reading on from Night. Is the difficulty the same as Night?
DeleteI chose the book The Son of Neptune. i chose this because I have read the other books in this series so i wanted to read the next one. I think this book is great so far. It starts off with Percy Jackson forgetting his memory and is in the process of remembering about what has happened. This is a great book so far
ReplyDeleteI chose to read the book FableHaven. The reason i am reading this book is because Bradan recommended i read it. So far it is a very interesting book that makes me want to keep reading. The main characters are trying to figure out the mystery behind the magical forest behind their grandparents house.
ReplyDeleteEIGHTIS OWNS!!!!!! but this book sounds really good poo
DeleteI chose the book A Broken Us. I chose this book because it was the second book in the series and really like the first book so i wanted to finish the series. I found the first book on my phone and read it in a couple days and then I couldn't find the second book in the library or any where. The real reason I chose this book because in the first book i was able to kind of connect and be able to feel like i was in the book. It starts off where it let off in the first book which is good because the first book leaves you hanging at the end. I am hooked because it is so interesting on what will happen next which keeps me reading.
ReplyDeleteI chose the book Saving Max by Antoinette Van Heugten. This book is about a young teenage boy Max that has a long list of mental disorders such as: depression, aspergers, schizophrenia and many more. Max is known to be very violent towards others and himself. His mom is a lawyer and a single mom. I chose this book because the first words I read on the cover was "What would you do if your son were accused of murder?" That drew me in right away. I am glad I chose this book so far because it is a fast paced book that has a lot of turns and events.
ReplyDeleteYour book seems interesting. It seems as if it has immediate attention getters right off the bat.
Deletethe book i chose was Perks of being a wallflower i heard it was a good book and that i would really enjoy it so i decided to read it. it took a lot to get my book because almost all the copies in the school were checked out. im not very far into the book yet but so far its good.
ReplyDeleteI've heard this book is like an American "coming of age" story, which would have a similarity to my book. They both deal with being in high school with teenagers questioning their worth in life.
DeleteIt sounds like a really good read and it must be since you couldn't get it in the library. And its kinda like my book with begin in high school and wanting to change his life.
DeleteI chose The Giver. I have heard of the movie which interested me into reading this book. There were immediate hooks in the beginning. Such as they took a pill to suppress their feelings, and they are assigned a job after turning twelve with no say.
ReplyDeleteThe Giver is an awesome book, just the different view of the Utopian world in the book is amazing. At the beginning you kind of just exposes the world, the end will make you think about it.
DeleteThe book I chose to read is Cloaked by Alex Flinn. It's a fairy tale novel in which Johnny meets a princess named Victoriana from Europe. The reason why I chose this book is because I read the first one. Which was a different version of Beauty and the Beast. This book Cloaked, is a different version of Princess and the Frog. Which I am assuming because she has kissed another man that has turned into a frog. So that's probably what's going to happen in this one. Being in a situation like that, turning into a frog... wouldn't be my cup of tea. He should be cautious, and careful as he possibly can be. I wouldn't want to turn into a frog. Not me, not at all. What drew me in was getting to the part about the princess. I've always wanted to be a princess. So I can relate to this book in some type of way.
ReplyDeleteI choose the book Maze runner because it was recommended to me by a friend. So far I enjoy the book and look forward to continue reading it. The book starts off when a young man awakens in a box and is greeted by many more boys his age. the boys are trapped in the center of a giant maze with their memories wiped.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the movie for this book yet? So far is it just a group of boys that are trapped in this maze?
DeleteIs the book just about them trying to escape a maze
DeleteI chose the book night, I chose it because it was the book that I wanted to read last time but was giving a different book. This book is confusing at first but then starts to open up and make sense. its a good book so far for what I've read
ReplyDeleteWhat is the book about? What caught your attention with this book and made you want to read it?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSO I choose to read Me And Earl And The Dying Girl. So the main character is Greg Gaines a high school senior trying to survive high school by keeping a low profile and not try to make any friends, but the only acceptation is his best friend Earl, but that all change one day when he came home from school and his mom told him some bad news about an old friend of his back from Hebrew school that she has leukemia. The reason why I choose this book is I thought it was going to be funny because the main character is trying to survive high school which the book is funny. the process I went through to find my book was Mrs. Broadbent recommend it to me. there isn't a specific reason to why I chose this book. my thoughts about this book is its funny, relates to all high schoolers, kind of inappropriate but so are high schoolers. the book starts off with the main character trying to figure out how to right the book. so far I'm hooked and I cant put the book down because every time I read it, it just want to make me laugh.

ReplyDeleteI am reading the book 13 Reasons Why. I chose this book because about a month or two ago I watched the Netflix series of it,and absolutely loved it. It makes people learn that you should really try and watch what you say because you never know a person's situation. So when I heard we got to choose any book at all, I knew I wanted to read this one! My book is about a girl in high school, who was bullied that led her to kill herself. Before she did this, she recorded 13 tapes of herself explaining why is this people made it an easier process for her to take her life away. The revenge of it all, it when she has these 13 people listen to each tape.
ReplyDeletei heard that the show is very good. is it anything like the show?
DeleteI'm watching the series right now and I really like it so far. I'm sure the book is just as good.
DeleteI watched the show and I was hooked from the very beginning. It gets really intense at times. The show also makes you realize that you have to watch what you say.
DeleteIs the book similar to the tv show?
DeleteI am watching the TV show right now. It is very intense sometimes. I hope the book is just as good, if not better than the show.
DeleteI am reading The Prince. I first heard about it in World History when learning about Niccolo Machiavelli. Hearing about how the book is about how to control people and maintain that control I thought it would be an interesting read. So far all it is about is when coming in control of a new community what to do to control it and maintain it. So far I am enjoying the informative read.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting read, and seems like it would be similar to my book A Farewell to Arms in the way that they are each historical books that teach important lessons. Hope you enjoy this book.
DeleteI chose to read the book Ender's game. I love the overall theme of strategy and analytical thinking. everything ender does is part of his strategy. He severely beat a kid who was trying to push him around, and then proceeded to kick him viciously while he was down, in front his cronies. Why? Because Ender wanted to make sure they never tried to do anything to him again.
ReplyDeleteI saw the movie and i really liked it, but i don't remember Ender being that violent. Is he always that violent?
DeleteResponding to Ryan. In the book it is an entire plot point about Ender being violent like his brother.
DeleteI am reading "Fight Club". I am reading this book because I saw the movie and I liked it. I actually went to the book, store looking for a different book, and came across this one, and decided that I wanted this one more. This books opening is very weird. It starts with a character putting a gun in the narrators mouth. Although it is a weird book i like it alot.
ReplyDeleteWhat made you chose this one over the other book at the store.
DeleteTwo questions.
Delete1. Why are you talking about fight club? Don't you know the first rule?
2. How did the narrator end up in such a tight spot in the beginning?
I chose the book Running Loose. I chose this book because I wanted to read for the first book. It starts off with the main character Louie being a football star. When his coach makes a call that he does not agree with, he quits the team. So far it is a great book.
ReplyDeletei really liked the book. it has many twists and turns that no one sees coming
DeleteThe book is really exciting and I really related to it. Its a really good book with a lot of twist and turns.
DeleteI loved that book. The main character is a massive smart-ass, and that makes a lot parts really funny. "do da pope wear a beanie?... You aren't catholic are you?" Of course, as other people have already mentioned, there are a lot of twists and it gets pretty sad in some parts.
DeleteI really enjoyed this book when i read it. It gets to be really good and pulls you into the book and it is easy to connect with i felt like.
DeleteI read the book as well. I thought it was very good. A lot happens in little time. Lots things that happen makes you wonder what could happen next.
DeleteI read this book first trimester and I loved it. It kept me interested the whole time, and easy to connect with.
DeleteI loved the book it is a great read and never loses you. In my book there is a common even with a teammate taking out the star of the opposing team.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletei am reading the book sylo. i got intrested in the book becasue it sounded like an action thriller. the book turned out to be very suspensesful. each chapter leaves you hanging for more.
ReplyDeleteWould you recommend other people to read this book?
DeleteHas the book ever slowed
DeleteI'm reading the book Perks of Being a Wallflower. I chose it because it was an option to read in English 3 but I didn't get the chance to read it. My book is told through Charlies writing to a unknown friend. Charlie is a odd ball and is either really quiet or hes beating up the kids who picked on him. The book is kind of different but I like it so far
ReplyDeleteHello Danny!!! I have read this book before and think its an excellent choice. i read it in english three. i agree its an odd book but you will like it.
DeleteI too have read this book! I really enjoyed it, and I know you will enjoy it too! It does describe some modern day issues and can be sometimes hard to read, but I know ou will still love it. After reading it, try watching the move! the movie is absolutely wonderful as well!! I agree that this book is quite "different" but I believe the way the story is written, it greatly describes everything that goes on. I am glad you lke it so far!!
DeleteI have not read the book but I have seen the movie, and it was really good. People say the books are better than the movies, so I hope its true for your book.
DeleteIn my book Please Stop Laughing At Me, Jodee is the odd ball too. She gets bullied and beat up, but she doesn't fight back like Charlie does. She just bundles it all up and I am waiting until she explodes.
DeleteSounds just like the movie, should be a great book to read!
ReplyDeleteI am reading Afterward by Jennifer Mathied. I choose this book because I was told by a fellow classmate that it seemed like it would be an interesting book. I am about 150 pages into the book and so far I really like it. I am hooked. It starts by describing, through one of the main characters point of view (Ethan), how him and another little boy were rescued after being kidnapped. The whole book switches in between Caroline and Ethan’s point of view. (Caroline is the sister of the other little boy that was kidnapped)
ReplyDeletecan you connect to the teenagers actions in the book?
DeleteThis book sounds a lot like the first book I read Chinese Handcuffs where young people face problems and it shows their thought process of how to get out of trouble. Sounds like it will be a really good read.
DeleteI am reading the book Night. I chose this book because i wanted to read it for my last book, but i did not receive it. This book is very good. It is really hard to explain. His story just kind of blows you away. You really just have to read it yourself.
ReplyDeleteHave you learned anything new about the holocaust while reading this book?
Deleteis there a reason why you wanted to read this book the first time when you didnt receive it
DeleteI read Night for my last book and I enjoyed it the whole way through. I think you made a good choice on wanting to read it this time. It really gives you another view about WW2 and the Jewish camps.
DeleteI chose the book Dune. I did not pick it for any other reason than it was on the list provided and that it is a sci-fi book. I am very pleased with my choice so far. The book is basically about Feudalism in space, where lords control entire planets. We follow a boy called Paul. Paul is the son of Duke Leto and we witness the events that go down when lords switch control of planets. Throughout these events a lot of thought provoking stuff talked about the book and the main conflict takes place on a political spectrum making this a unique book to read. I look forward to reading Dune.
ReplyDeleteI chose the book "Sick in the Head" by Judd Apatow. To be honest, I initially chose it because Mrs. Broadbent told me to, but I am really enjoying the book and I am glad I picked it. It is a very enjoyable book about Judd's lifetime experience with comedy. Judd has always wanted to work within that realm and really started getting involved in high school. In his junior year, he was interviewing Jerry Seinfield, trying to figure out how to become successful. You can tell his interviews paid off. I am excited to see what else comedy's greats have to offer!
ReplyDeleteI am reading Champion by Marie Lu. It is the third book in a series that I never had the chance to finish until now. I have forgotten much about the other two books that lead up to this one, so I am a little confused, but I get much of it still. The book is in a split perspective between former criminal Day, and Princeps elect(basically a vice president) June Iparis. The two are madly in love with each other. Day acts as the voice of the poor people in the Republic who almost holds as much power as the Elector himself. He is not in a position of power, but everyone looks up to him and trusts him, and if they thought the Republic was trying to kill him, they would all revolt against their government. It is very interesting and really kept me reading further into the series.
ReplyDeleteI hate when I forget what has happened in previous books in a series. This book sounds very interesting! Almost makes me think of the Hunger Games. Day also reminds me a bit of my main character in my book, Siddhartha. Everyone looks up to him and absolutely adores him.
DeleteI agree this sounds a lot like my book Fablehaven. The setting is also on a magical land.
ReplyDeleteThe book that I chose to read was A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. It is a book about an American ambulance driver on the Italian front. I choose the book because as I was looking through the list of suggested books that book caught my eye as something that I had heard of before and after reading about it I realized it would be a good fit for me. So far the book is pretty interesting, I like learning about WWI because I hadn't read much about it before.
ReplyDeleteThis book seems very interesting because it about WW1. My book is somewhat relate able since my book is about war.
DeleteI chose the book Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. This book is about the journey of Buddha and how he became the Buddha we know today. This book has significance to me because I am Buddhist myself.This book starts of explaining Siddhartha's life and the beginning of his journey. It explains his excellence and how much he is loved by everyone in his hometown. This book is already so enlightening for it is so full of wisdom. I found this book because Mrs. Lex told me to read it. She had said that it had made her think of me. This book moves very quickly, but the way the words are written it is difficult to read. The phrases are a lot different to what I am used to reading. Although it is a bit of a challenge I absolutely love this book already! ~Cat Sears
ReplyDeleteIm reading the book "The Hunger Games". i chose to read this book because i have had friends read the book and they loved it. i also watched the movie before and heard it was a good book so i thought i would give it a try. its basically bouut a girl named KAtniss who is pretty skilled in hunting and all things outdoors. her sister is picked for the hunger games (an event held thruout all the districts and everyone kills eachother until there is one victor) and she volonteers at triubute. the rest of the book takes us throufgh rhe hunger games journey.
ReplyDeleteKatniss is a little like Day in my book. They both would risk anything to save their siblings. They both have to act as a parent to them because Day lost both his parents, and Katniss lost her father.
DeleteThe book I chose to read was Heaven is for Real By Todd Burpo. This book is about a boy named Colton who has a medical problem and ends up going to hospital being severally ill. He tells after how the angels sing to him and his experience. I chose this book because I heard it was a good read from family members.
ReplyDeleteMy book, Unbroken, is about an Olympic track runner who is really good and right at the peak of his career he gets drafted into the Air force during World War 2. I didn't really choose this book, Kenny Beard chose it for me but i am not complaining cause its a DAMN good book so far and I cant wait to read more.
ReplyDeleteHow is it a good book so far?
DeleteHey quinn stud! you are an animal. I have seen the movie and i think this is an excellent choice. Its the perfect mix of fun and magical. IT rreally keeps the reader interested
ReplyDeleteI chose the book I Am A SEAL Team Six Warrior. I chose this book because I enjoy reading books about war. The title really stuck out to me so that is how I started reading it. It starts out right in the action. Howard Wasdin explains how he got involved with the war and about his childhood which was pretty rough. As of right now I am really enjoying my book.
ReplyDeleteThe main character in my book grew up in the poor regions of the capital while disease spreads among neighborhoods and in his own family. So his childhood was kind of rough as well. He never fought for a cause other than helping the poor, but now he is the face of a civil war.
DeleteI chose the book "the outsiders" I chose this book because a couple years ago i watched the movie and i liked it. I am gad i picked it because it started off right away with some action. The main character is ponyboy he lives at home with his older brothers soda and darry. Their parents died in a car accident. But anyways i really am enjoying this book.
ReplyDeleteI read the book and seen the movie and I really enjoyed them both. Do you think you will like the book more than the movie?
DeleteMy book is Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. My friend told me that it was a good book to read. It's about a girl, named Melinda, who just started high school and she is already an outcast for calling the police at the end-of-summer party. So far it is a really good read.
ReplyDeleteYa same my main character is a high schooler on the soccer team but he i the opposite he is popular and he gets along with everyone.
Deletewhat made the book stand out more than the other books
ReplyDeleteMy book is called Please Stop Laughing At Me. I found it on Mrs. Broadbent's shelf and it really stood out to me. I read the back of it and knew I would like it. It is about this girl who is sitting in her car to go into a high school reunion. She has flashbacks starting from fourth grade all the way up. She was bullied every year; it is kind of like a cycle she makes friends then loses friends. it talks about all the struggles she goes through. It is really interesting to me and I like it a lot so far.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Above All Else. I choose this book because it was easy to relate to and an easy read because of the short pages and larger font. I like the book it is a good start by going right into action with a soccer game and how people played dirty and the feelings. No im not hooked yet but i hope i get hooked.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a cool book
DeleteI am reading The Batboy by Mike Lupica. I wanted to read a sport book because I haven't read one in a long time. I wanted to find a book that was a perfect length and one that satisfied my interests. The book begins with a boy named brian Dudley and his father Cole Dudley and they are at a Detroit Tigers baseball game having fun. It's decent so far, I kind of like it.
ReplyDeleteSo far into your book, what do you feel about it, hooked?
DeleteThe book I chose is called the Long Snapper. Its about a 38 year old teacher who has been given another chance at a football dream. The character, Brian, so far is trying to get a job with the Patriots to be their long snapper rest of the year. I chose this book because I like sports/football, and it looked like an interesting cover, a football player walking into the sunset. So far I have enjoyed this new book, it has pleased me already. The book starts out in Baton Rouge, where Brian is from, and his former agent calls him during teaching a class. I can't wait for the rest of the book, and hopefully the rest is great.
ReplyDeleteI choose the book "The Finest Hours" and I choose it because it is a true story and it seemed like a very interesting book. It is about two oil tankers off the coast of maine and a huge storm rolls through causing waves up to 70 feet! The two tankers split into two and now the Part I am on now is about rescuers heading out to see.
