This was the greatest book at of the series so far. I was so intrigued that I was reading it up to 2 A.M. These books are great because you can skip a book and still know what is going on. I would love for people to read them too.

This book is about the feeling of depression or sadness of humans. It has showed me that loneliness dosen't just fly out of the blue, it actually develops inside ourselves without really realizing it.

Moonrise (Warriors: The New Prophecy #3) by Erin Hunter
Rating: 4 Stars
This was a very good book. I am starting to get used to the point of veiw switching throughout the story, but I don't like how the main points of view change. (Ex. 1st book: Midnight - points of veiw : Brambleclaw, Leafpaw. 2nd book: Moonrise - points of veiw: Stormfur, Leafpaw.) All in all, the book was worth reading.

Love Hina by Ken Akamatsu

I like the plot of the series, but what happens throughout the book is kind of perverted. This manga is for mature teens so I guess that is why...

Inu-Yasha by Rumiko Takahashi

I really liked this manga. It has a lot of action in it, but it does seem a little juvenile, though. Oh well, I like it and if you like to read manga books you should read this.

Hope Was Here by Joan Bauer

Kiffo has some problems, but he is a good person.This is a great book and when you read it you'll feel the same way I do.

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

ROMEO AND JULIET is a classic love story. It is very well written and probably best read in a modern english version to understand the full beauty of the play. I'd recommend a SparkNotes No Fear Shakespeare version.

This book weaves together two stories; one, in present time, is about an (autistic?) woman, Sylvia, who is trying to find answers about the death of her lover, Andrew, through the young boy who found Andrew's body. Andrew is a historical map maker. The second story is about Andrew's past and the empire his ansestors left for him. This part of the story takes place in the late 1800s.

Second Helpings by Megan Mccafferty
Rating: 5 Stars
SECOND HELPINGS is the sequel to SLOPPY FIRSTS: A NOVEL, and I have to say that these two books have been an absolute pleasure to read. Although it takes on a mature plot, it keeps you amused until the last word. SECOND HELPINGS is hilarious, witty, and so down-to-earth. High school girls will love it. You'll find yourself laughing out loud and rooting for the main character, Jessica, to get through her tough times and come out on top. When you finish this book, you'll be craving the third installment, which is coming out in April of 2006.

Rani & Sukh by Bali Rai

So Yesterday by Scott Westerfeld
Rating: 5 Stars
I love this book. It has an intriguing plot that makes you really wonder what 'cool' really is. All the random tidbits of information scattered throughout the pages are amusing and make the read a little less like complete fiction and more like something that could have really happened. Great read. I'd suggest it to anyone!

It's a really good book! Read the other "A-List" books to find out what's going on in this novel. It really expands the storyline that has been going on. It's really a "Gossip Girl" type of book, so if you like chick novels about rich girls living the high life, you will love this!

The Story Of A Million Years by David Huddle

Short, but deep with impact. I enjoyed the book because it showed problems with marriage that didn't seem cliched or made up. This was a real eye opener for youth. Each chapter is narrated by a different character, but it is one coherent plot.

This was one of the best books I've read all year! When Gemma's mother is killed in India, she is sent to Spence, a boarding school in England. She finds out she can visit the realms, and does so along with Felicity, Pippa, and Ann. Many things happen and you start to understand the characters. Even though this book is set in the Victorian Era, the characters seem very real. I probably haven't explained the plot very well, but take my advice. This is an awesome book. Read it!

Midnighters Series by Scott Westerfeld

This series is amazng so far. The first book, THE SECRET HOUR, was the best, and the second one, TOUCHING DARKNESS, didn't disappoint. These books are about five kids who at midnight experience an hour only they know about. The five "Midnighters" must use their individual talents to save their small town, Bixby, and themselves from the "darklings" who haunt this hour of "blue-time." Look out for the last enstallment of the trilogy, BLUE NOON, coming soon. Scott Westerfeld has become one of my favorite authors. Also read UGLIES, PRETTIES, and any Garth Nix books if you love this kind of fantasy.

This thriller keeps you guessing until the end. "The Broker" was imprisoned for 6 years for selling intelligence, from the US and other countries, when an outgoing U.S. President grants him a pardon. The CIA is behind this mysterious pardon and they have him shipped to Italy on the pretenses of keeping him safe from the many countries that want him dead. What they haven't told him is that the U.S. is one of those countries. This book is so engrossing that you won't even realize you're reading and you'll never see the end coming.

Warriors - The New Prophecy #1: Midnight by Erin Hunter
Rating: 4 Stars
I have been a fan of the "Warriors" series for a while now, but this book wasn't as good as the others. I miss the fact that the veiw point isn't from Firestar anymore, but from Brambleclaw, and switches to Leafpaw. I also don't like the fact that Firestar has kits, Ferncloud is grown and has had 2 litters of kits and all the apprentices are warriors because I missed all of that and now they are just there. I took me a while to get used to that, but after a few chapters it was a really good book.

I found this book at a friend's house and picked it up. It was hilarious! It's definitely not your average prom story --- it's about two gay guys on a double date that goes very wrong. And then the police and strippers and drug dealers get involved! But, it's also surprisingly sweet, despite all that craziness. It has great characters, who are all very believable in a way... like people you might know at school.

I loved this book, I read it in like 8 hours. I loved the adventure part of the story. It's a book you can't put down.

Very funny. The humor is subtle and you may not get it at first, but once you do, you'll love it!

This book is the second out of a series of three. It is about love, horses, family, and forgiveness. This is an amazing book and I hope you all read it!

GINGERBREAD is a very good book, and I can relate to everything in it. Well, except the secret... because I didn't have one of those!

Pretties by Scott Westerfeld
Rating: 5 Stars
This sequel to UGLIES is an amazing book. Tally's quest to figure out what is right against wrong amidst a world somewhere ahead of ours is intense. Also, one of the most interesting questions is posed: Do you love someone for who they are, or how they look?

I'm not a real fan of the cheesiness of GOSSIP GIRL, and I guess this isn't that far of a stretch... but Jenny is a character I liked, so I picked it up. The quirky problems she gets into and anticipation makes it a page turner.

This is the best book I've ever read.

Just Me!
The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud
Rating: 4 Stars
I love fantasy! However, i don't like when there's too much of it (e.g.: the hero always wins because he can do any magic he wants). That is exactly why this book won me over! I like the fact that there aren't just two sides: good and bad. Instead, you have to decide for yourself who to root for! I also like how Stroud goes deep into each character's life to help explain why each is the way he/she is. The reason this book didn't get 5 stars is because it didn't really make you stop to think about the words you were reading. Nevertheless THE AMULET OF SAMARKAND is still a wonderful book!

The Chrysalids by John Wyndham

This book was okay, the beginning was very boring and hard to get into. But, as the book progressed, it got more interesting. The middle and end of the book were captivating. Overall, it was very well written.

A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
Rating: 5 Stars
This book is absolutely brilliant. Taking place in the 18th century, this was a definite page turner from beginning to end. Gemma Doyle, sixteen, has visions of things that happen before they actually take place. With a vision that takes her mother from her, she realizes her great power. She is sent to an all-girls school in London, where the students are taught to behave properly so they will grow up to be precise women. Gemma is mysterious and very different from all the other girls. She becomes friends with three girls who want more than to be locked up in the school and forced act a certain way --- they want freedom, they want to make their own choices, they want a breath of fresh air... as does Gemma. So, the four girls create an Order (a club) outside the school grounds in a cave, where they share their secrets and hopes with each other. They discover Gemma's secret to open the realms, a realm where fantasies feel real and you never want to leave, full of power, beauty, and wit. This book is amazing.... I recommend it to all girls, and if you don't read it, you are definitely missing out! I can't wait to read the sequel, REBEL ANGELS!

The Black Book: Diary of a Teenage Stud Vol 4 by Jonah Black
Rating: 3 Stars
If you liked THE CATCHER IN THE RYE, than you will definitely enjoy Jonah Black. He reminds me a lot of Holden Caulfield. The book genre would probably be romance, but it has a pinch of mystery as well.
