By Alyssa P

The book i'm reviewing is "If I Stay" by Gayle Forman, He's written many other books such as "Where she went", "Just on night", "Just on year" And "Just one day". Those four are a series. The genre of this book represents fiction. Basically the book is about a family of four, Mia, Her brother teddy, Mom, and dad. They live in america, and it started to snow. They got into a car crash and their mom and dad die at the scene of the crash, Mia and Teddy are in critical condition. She enters the state of "non death" And she watches over her body as its getting operated on. The rest of the book is just about Mia reflecting over her life and it shares all the accomplishments she's made.

Uglies are now pretty (Nice)

By: Janelle P.

The book that I am reviewing is called Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. The Uglies is a book in a series of four books. The first book is The Uglies the second book is called Pretties, the third book is called Specials and lastly the fourth book is called Extras. I would recommend this book for other people to read. I recommend this book because it is a book that once you start reading it, it is hard to put down. When I first heard about this book my friend was telling me about it. She told me that it is a very good book and that I should read it. I took her advice on reading it because it sounded like a good book to read. She started to tell me about it and I had to stop her because if I was going to read the book in my future I didn't want to know what was going to happen. I would also recommend this book to someone who likes to be taken to another place that isn't a real place in the book. This is a fiction book, so if you like fiction this is a great book to read.

This lacked a clever title and did not utilize paragraphs

By Spencer F.

This book is the closest thing to rational comedy that I can enjoy. How to Lose a Battle  is a selection about military blunders ranging from The Battle of Arbela to Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam. It is of adequate length from a book of this type, and weighs in at 325 pages. It depicts both parties involved in these blunders with respect most of the time and when it doesn't, it is for good reason. The inclusion of the exodus is the only thing I can criticise in this piece. The Exodus was a Bible story that should not be considered in a nonfiction book like this. The discussion about the battle of Gettysburg does make sense, although I don't see the purpose of The Century Magazine section of that particular piece however. The battle of Arbela was particularly well described. Other than that the writing is solid. I encountered few grammar errors, and overall a good read. I would recommend this to anyone interested in famous and obscure failures in battles. I would also recommend this to anyone who is in the JROTC, showing what not to do is sometimes the best way to show how to do something. I would definitely recommend buying this book, for the fair price of $14.00.

This did not have a clever title (Otherwise, nice)

Brian K Vaughan is a little bit dark on this book and I love it. He makes the book dark and that's what bring intensity and plot twists. I seen many demos of his books and that lead me to read Y: The Last Man.

The main character in this book is Yorick and his pet monkey named Ampersand. On Wednesday, July, 17 2002 an unknown plague destroyed every last sperm and every mammal with a Y chromosome that includes animals and men. For some reason Yorick and Ampersand weren't affected by the plague. This plague killed 48 % of the population in the U.S only !! Approximately 2.9 billion men died of this and many of those men were CEOS, Pilots, Mechanics, Electricians and etc.

This is not a review. Consider a do-over.

Better than the Hunger Games by Glen P

When creating fictional books one would have to make sure it maintains most of the following; a thrilling and adventurous theme, has to be descriptive and vivid, creates character, emotionally involves the reader and overall introduces a whole new world to the reader. Article 5 fulfills all of these attributes and many more.

The story follows our 16 year old main protagonist Ember Miller as she lives her life with her mother and her sister Beth after the events of a massive war which turns the land of the free into a land of suffering. After this war The United States government became corrupted and had replaced the Bill of Rights with the Moral Statutes and creates the Moral Militia in an attempt to cleanse the country and reform it into a perfect image, but they end up doing the opposite. The book right away in the first chapter gives off only a fraction of what the rest of the book has to offer, love, action, suspense, almost everything you could think of. The first chapter also sets the tone very well for the rest of the book as the author Kristen Simmons gives you all the answers however she does it in such a way that the reader has to experience the entire story to piece it all together.

The book as a whole is descriptive and follows how Ember plans to see her mother again as she is taken away by the Moral Militia because she has broken Article 5 of the Moral Statutes and that's not even scratching the surface. The story is adventurous, intriguing and hooks the reader from the beginning. I would recommend this book to everybody because the book always had me wondering what would happen next as there never was never a dull moment in this book. I can easily say this is one of my top 3 favorite books and I can't wait to read the next one in the series.

A Guide To Free Intergalactic Travel

Noah Maloney

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

This story is about a young man named Arthur Dent and the adventures he goes on after Earth is decimated to make way for a new galactic freeway. Just before Earth is destroyed, Arthur's friend Ford Prefect saves them by stowing away on a vogan ship. Arthur learns the Ford wasn't really human and discovers a fish that goes through your ear canal to your brain to understand any language that is spoken. Once the vogans announce that they're not too pleased with hitchhikers on their ship, Arthur realizes just what being a hitchhiker is really like. Of course, Arthur isn't in too good of a mood what with his planet being destroyed and being threatened to be thrown into the vast depths of space so Ford attempts to calm him down a little. But this is Ford Prefect so calming people down after losing their entire race and home wasn't too easy for him.

Meanwhile, the vogans have sent out a patrol party to find the hitchhikers, capture them, possibly read poetry to them and toss the two into the unforgiving void of the universe.

Throughout the book, Arthur is dazzled by the marvels of space while Ford shrugs it off like a patch of dust. They're always getting into problems and hitchhiking out like a guaranteed escape route.

Personally, I thought everything was fantastic. The way Ford tries to fit in with earthlings but only ends up turning heads of confusion, or how the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy the two through countless situations. It's British humor at some of it's best. However, to someone new to reading books from other places in the world, some of the grammar and words

may confuse. But if you can understand their sayings and different vocabulary it's a great read.

If you love sci-fi and enjoy a different style of reading from time to time, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is perfect for you. There's so much humor that not all of it can even be contained in just the pages of the story because there are even jokes on the flaps of the cover! Honestly, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a great read and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh and fascinating story.

Why Our Presidents Aren't Perfect And Why We Shouldn't Care About That (FIXED)

Why Our Presidents Aren't Perfect And Why We Shouldn't Be Bothered About That

By Kyle Hancock

I read the very compelling argumentative novel The End of Greatness by Aaron David Miller, a political expert on the Middle East who decided to strike a little bit higher on the totem pole of politics. The book looks at our three greatest presidents: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt, and shows what made them great, while also saying that we shouldn't search for them in our times since he claims greatness is just "too risky" to look for since greatness really only shines in the most dangerous of times. Within the story, he also shows how great presidents got to be considered great, attempts to understand why we consider some presidents great but others mediocre or downright awful, and truly how dependent greatness is on the situation.

I found the book very compelling and uses quite strong grammar throughout the book. It shows both sides of its individual characters, which is refreshing with the amount of white-washed views there are on our presidents. He make makes our presidents, who are real people and, for the most part, as morally good and perfect, much more realistic and imperfect, with better execution than some fiction stories. However, the text tends to be quite confusing to navigate through, skipping between points every now and then, and similar points were often times repeated through the book, which goes from reinforcing the points and reminding the reader of its relevance to being pretentious and unnecessary.

I definitely was sucked into the text was thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. Aaron Miller does a pretty good job keeping out political bias, at least within this novel. I will definitely consider reading some of his other books as well, though the rest tend to be analyses of the Middle East, which, if that's your thing, you will probably enjoy.

Nope, this is wrong

Passion Over the Law (NICE!)

By: Kevin F.

Pirate Cinema, by Cory Doctorow, is a fictional novel about a conflict between a teenage boy's passion and the law. The story takes place in the somewhat future in London. The main character, Trent McCauley, wants to make his own homemade movies about the fictional dead actor, Scot Colford. However, to do this, he has to download movies from foreign websites to get the clips he needs. The three strikes law in England (which is a real thing) detects that Trent has been downloading copyrighted content, and ends up shutting down Trent's family's entire internet. Now Trent can't make his movies, but that's the least of his family's problems. Trent's mom can not collect her disability checks, his dad can't do his phone support job, and his sister can't do her schoolwork because all of her assignments and tests are online. Trent feels awful about doing this and decides to run south to London. Here he arrives lonely and scared, and his stuff ends up getting robbed. Trent doesn't give up his hopes in London yet. He meets a lot of new people that can help him fight against the copyright law. His friends don't sit around and complain about the problems. They go out and fix them.

Good, read his other books first (NICE!)

By Dev. P

Coming out with books every year, author Rick Riordan has been an all time favorite. Writing books about Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology have been favorites for him. Riordan's new book, The Hidden Oracle is book one of his new series. The Hidden Oracle is about how the Greek God: Apollo, has been turned into a mortal for his "crimes" he had done back on Olympus.

This book review has a lame title

                                        by Alexis F.

                                 

        Susie Salmon is the main character of this novel. She brings the reader joy, sadness, and even frustration. She talks from point in her heaven, watching life change itself. This book describes as she was brutally murdered and her family struggle to find out what happened, where she is or went. This book shows how hard it can be to move on and how this world is truly confusing and aggravating it is.
