Marriage and Other Things That Turn Us Crazy

By Mackenzi V.   

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is a hit or miss novel. It is considered a thriller (along with her others, Dark Places and Sharp Objects), focusing on the disappearance of Amy Dunne and its effects on her husband, Nick. Despite the book's dark subject matter, there are instances of humor and some moving moments. It is at once a study in crime, marriage, and the psychology of humans.

This should have had a clever title but ...

by Razz A.

                        The novel 'The Storytelling Animal' is a book on creating stories from the imagination. There are also a bunch of references to other books that were written in the far past. This story also revolves around how different everyone's imaginations are for instance between boys and girls/men and women, adults vs. children, and typical readers vs. atypical readers. This meaning those who read on a small timely basis against those who don't read on a typical basis. Reading this book has pros and cons explaining  how and why everyone has different stories through research of neuroscience, psychology and evolutionary biology.

                Ender's Game is a book written in third person  about a boy, named Ender,  who is a genius on Earth and is recruited to go fight strategically in a war against aliens as a counter attack from when they tried to take over Earth, which nearly wiped out the entire human population. He goes through various trainings and gets promoted by going through different schoolings provided by the government. Reading this novel there are some pros like how you connect with the character and then the cons  where reading  parts of the book seemed a tad unorganized.
