Book Reviews

Holy crap! Have you ever read a book and then just wanted it to go on and on and on forever? Do you ever wish that the ending had been so different, and yet it was such a great ending? Well I just finished an amazing book, and now I'm starting the companion to it, and all I want to do is just change the book into a happy story. :P

Stargirl. My mom got it for me for Christmas. At first it was so cool and fun, and then Leo tried to change her and she changed for him and it was sad because she wasn't herself anymore. Then she wins the oratorical contest and moves?!?!? I couldn't believe it. It was so sad!

Another book I read recently was called The Thirteenth Tale. It's all about this girl who gets a letter to write a biography on the most popular author of that time. She goes ahead and decides to do it, and along the way she learns all about her own story as well. The book is full of interesting characters and intense stories. All through the book I was coming up with different scenarios, and then something would happen to make me think that there was no way my idea could happen. Towards the end of the book one of my first and most impossible ideas happened. It was so awesome the way that the author kept you guessing through the entire story.

I've been reading some pretty awesome books lately, and I've even started Pride and Prejudice. The problem with that is that I have to be in the right mood to really enjoy the story, and with the other books I've been reading I haven't really been able to sit down and really enjoy the book. So I'm hoping I'll be able to get it done in time to take the AR for it this term for English, but who knows. :P
