Topic: Book Review

" It's never good when the doorbell rings at three in the morning....." I'm doing the first book in the Alex Rider series, Stormbreaker and I recommend it to everyone.

Hiiiii

For my review, I am doing the first book in the Cronus Chronicles series, The Shadow Thieves. I recommend this book and the second book, The Siren Song, to everyone!
Here is my quote:

"Like that the whole Greek mythology thing was true; they weren't myths at all. The Underworld was real too, all of it." pg. 201

So, that's it!

Bye!!!!!!

For my book review I am doing Peter and the Starcatchers. I would have done City of Bones, but I am reading Peter and the Shadowthieves. It will help me remember the first book. It is a fabulous book. The second one is even better. I am only half way through the book but i am already hooked with it. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone. But you have to read the first one first.
I know that this is kind of changing the subject but I can't wait until Breaking Dawn comesn out. I have yet to read the Host but i am waiting.

I'm doing Pretties for my book review. It's the second book to Uglies, by Scott Westerfeld, and really interesting. I recommend it to all of the girls in this class and other teenage or preteen girls. This is the quote iI picked.

She stared down at the pills, which looked small and insignificant in the gloom of the shack. "But they might not even work. I might end up brain dead."

For my review I am doing Eclipse, the third book in the Twilight series. I recommend this book to everyone! Thank you for introducing me to such a wonderful series it made me a major reader, Mrs. Duncan. READING IS CONTAGIOUS!

BIG Give Believer said...

Well I guess i'm doing the book everyone has already done for a report. You probablyhave already guessed it: Peter and the Starcatchers. Well I guess i'll be leaving. My mission is complete.

Here's a multiple response blog!

Goldie: I loved the Siren Song too. The publisher promised us the ARC to book 3 in November! You're first on my list!

Hannah: City of Bones was an amazing read! Cassandra Clare is an amazong author and person! Once you finish the sequel, I'll let you read chapter 1 of City of Glass!

Courtney: You picked a great moment in the book to quote. Very significant ! I have Specials when you're ready for it!

Chace: Thanks for blogging dude! Are you reading book 2? It's amazing!

Megan: I'm glad you found an author that you really love. We will pursue E.D. Baker and see if we can get a response! Keep up the great work!

Katie: National Velvet is a classic story that you will LOVE. I can't wait to hear your opinion on the plot.

Syd: Dark Angel is very interesting! It's a different kind of vampire/love story- and I'll be waiting to hear how you like it.
