I LOVED this book! I could not put it down. This is my favorite book I've ever read. I ended up reading it over 3 times. It got me interested in reading more novels about vampires. I have also read NEW MOON, the second book in the Twilight series and have pre-ordered ECLIPSE.

| Rating: 2 Stars |
I know. I'm the only person in this entire world who truly hated this book. I read it about two years ago and I'm just tired of the millions of people who think it is SO amazing. The writing is mediocre at best, and it is just so dorky and predictable. I love how people say it kept them on the edge of their seats. I barely got through it. All in all, it's way overrated, but I'll read the series to see if it grows on me. Maybe I'll join the millions of minions who worship these horrible books.

This book really sums up the whole story of not judging people by how they look. In this book, Nina, a foreign exchange student, also Alicia's cousin, attracts the attention of every boy in the whole community. But, some of the girls are NOT. Massie, Claire, and even Alicia all are SICK of Nina and her charming looks, but most of all, her mean and all-that attitude. When they start to figure out a plan to totally get revenge, everyone holds their breath. Will the plan work? Or will they be stuck with Nina forever? Read this ah-mazing book to find out.

TWILIGHT is quite possibly the best book I have ever read. It was the first book I read about vampires, and it's definitely not the last. Stephenie Meyer has put me into a vampire frenzy.

This book was simply fantastic to me. I love how it is told in two tenses, past and present. And I love how Anabelle is an average girl. She's not too outspoken and not too quiet, but she's like a normal teen.
This book addresses something about teen rape that isn't shown in many books, as well as a little something about friendship.

This series is now my favorite. This is because Meg makes her characters --- Suze Simon, Fater Dom, and the rest of them --- into people I can relate to. I can see what these characters would look like if they were real. I sometimes find myself asking, What would Suze do? So, this series is great if you like to read about ghosts who need help getting to the other side, from a teen girl.

Her mother is a lawyer, working on a very public case about a girl who murdered her father. Jamie, the main character, then starts going to therapy to figure out her recent panic attacks and craziness. There's lots of suspense and a unique twist at the end.

| Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
This book is about a teenage girl, Sophie, changing her view on the world by learning philosophy. Her teacher has a few mysteries, and Sophie keeps on getting mysterious letters and items from Hilde's father. This book was translated from the Norwegian text. It covers all aspects of philosophy, and is kind of like a mix of all the things we learn in school, like Plato, Descartes, and different ideas of life. It shows how humans came to be and how ideas evolved over time. Away from things like the geocentric theory, to the heliocentric theory. It even has scientific method in it. It may be hard to read, but it's worth all the information.

Bella isn't my favorite on account that she acts kind of stupid and childish. So without Edward, I probably wouldn't read these books. Wouldn't you love to have someone like him in your life? Well, if he weren't a vampire? I cannot wait till the 3rd book comes out!

| Peeps by Scott Westerfeld |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
Scott Westerfeld is an awesome author. I recommend every one of his books that I have read --- UGLIES, PEEPS, SO YESTERDAY. Most of his novels are part of a series.
PEEPS is simply about peeps (aka parasite-positives, aka vampires), parasites and....well, thats pretty much the root. Just like in Westerfeld's novel SO YESTERDAY, Peeps takes place in New York City and is about a secret organization that classic New Yorkers do not know about. For all we know, it could be a nonfiction book though I highly doubt it...but then again, the government does have their secrets...
Anyways, if you like blood-sucking creatures, a scientific explanation for everything, gross-filled things (things that make you say "eww") and/or hot vampires and high hormones (that's right HOT and HORMONES), then this is definitely the book for you.
P.S. Don't get too excited about the hot vampires and high hormones.

| The Bar Code Tattoo by Suzanne Weyn |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book is set in 2025, a new world, a new life...a new meaning. Kayla Marie Reed is turning seventeen, the age of gaining your identity; the age when you acquire the bar code tattoo. Kayla only resists getting it because she doesn't like being labeled. And frankly, it's not the law.
But then, her world changes. People are turning away and learning the truth. People are starting to die. They know too much. The tattoo becomes law. Once you become of age, there is no turning back. Kayla knows what she must do. She joins Decode, a group of resisters.
She knows it's time to run from the world that is falling apart. And whoever resists and gets caught ends up dead.

| The Bar Code Rebellion by Suzanne Weyn |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
Kayla has lost a lot in the resistance. It seems like everyone she has encountered is dead. She's the girl everyone wants to be captured. What happens after that, no one knows.
But things get peculiar when Kayla sees a girl advertising for Global-1. She's putting the blame on the wrong people, and has that dreaded tattoo on her wrist. When Kayla has a glimpse of the girl, that face, that smile, it is hers.
Is she Kayla's twin, or possibly her clone? Kayla is not so sure when she finds more look-alikes, some nice...some not so nice.
She can't stop running. Getting caught would be a disaster. A close friend commits suicide, and a person she loves is forced to acquire the tattoo on their wrist. She is reunited with old friends, and meets new ones. The secrets she's been looking for are finally revealed, and they're not so pretty. Will the bar code rebellion finally be over? Will everyone get the freedom they deserve?

One of the most amazing books I've ever read. It's absolutely brilliantly written. I'm trying not to put spoilers in here, so all I can say is that the storyline itself and the way it was written really provoked emotions. It was so sad. I cried and cried at the ending.
If you've never read the Harry Potter series; do it now. They are definitely one of the best series I've ever read. Harry's is an enthralling and vivid adventure full of exciting twists and turns that you get pulled into instantly.

Thaddeus Osbert is a dragon who lives in Cornwall, England. He takes under his wing three teens, Gavin, Emily and Bunty. This book is so cool because the dragon is funny, and addicted to sugar. There's a lot of action and adventure, and I learned a lot about being a teen in England during World War II. There are Germans sneaking around and a nasty black dragon who wants Thaddeus dead. This is Book One, so I can't wait until the next book comes out!

Homer and his friends are interested in rockets and try building their own. Some of the townspeople think of them as bothersome, while others believe their dreams of going into space are very intelligent.

I was a bit apprehensive about reading this book because it is in diary form, but not far into the book, you forget about that because you are drawn in by the story. Set in the mid-1600s, it follows a girl escaping the English witch hunts and coming to America. She joins the Puritans and fights to hide her true self. Is she a witch or isn't she? A great read!

| School's Out by Christophe Dufosse |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
This book is not out quite yet. I work in a bookstore and got my hands on an advance reader copy. So far. it's awesome! It's super mysterious, full of action, and there is a thick plot and lots of details. It's about a new teacher who comes to replace another teacher who'd attempted suicide.
The new guy, Pierre, notices something strange about all the students. They are too perfect and are definitely hiding something. Strange events unfold and he thinks maybe the suicide was actually murder...
Keep your eyes peeled for SCHOOL'S OUT. It should be out in a couple of months!

| New Moon by Stephenie Meyer |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
I was truly impressed by NEW MOON . At times, sequels to outstanding books (in this case, TWILIGHT) are usually not as fulfilling as the first. However, NEW MOON kept me reading from page 1 non-stop! I have not read any book like the kind written by Stephenie Meyer. They are very unique and thrilling. I cannot wait until her next book, ECLIPSE.
It is truly a joy to sit down and read one of her books! In fact, when people talk about NEW MOON at school, I am always the first to say, "Oh! That is a really good book!"
I truly recommend NEW MOON to anyone at any age. I have deeply enjoyed it.

Melissa takes a whole new avenue when it comes to vampires. Legends and myths we know are put in a whole new light and the "truth" is shocking.

| The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
I always love Jodi Picoult's books. My teacher recommended THE TENTH CIRCLR to me. I love this book, it's about a young 14-year-old girl going through heartbreak after her 16-year old boyfriend breaks up with her. Now he is dating another girl, which causes Trixie (main character) to attempt suicide, and then an act of jealousy backfires. I can not put this book down, and it relates to so many girls, who have just lost their boyfriends, trying to do anything they can to get them back. Her home life also contains conflict, which a lot of young teens go through as well. This plot unfolds right in the beginning of the book, but more secrets are revealed as the book goes on.
This is one of Jodi's best books.

In TWILIGHT Bella comes to live in Forks, where she meets Edward Cullen. The beautiful, mysterious, object of perfection...not to mention a vampire. In NEW MOON, you'll get to know Jacob Black much better. I laughed, cried, and fell in love with these books. I recommend that EVERYONE read these. You haven't lived until you have read them!
