This book as absolutely awesome. It's a pure love story between a human and a vampire! It's the best book I've ever read! And I absolutley just adore Stephenie Meyer for writing this.

I really like this book. It was so good I read it in just two days. I love how the story of a simple girl can get involved with king arthur's story.
I have never really been a fan of reading, but last year, a friend started giving me books (like AVALON HIGH) and now I just can't stop. It is obviously better than watching tv.

| The Secret Life Of Sparrow Delaney by Suzanne Harper |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
At first, when I got the book, I didn't really want to read it. I'm not into that whole "mediums are real" stuff. But when all my other books were already read, I started it, and, wow, I absolutely loved it. The thing that captivated me was that the plot is not the typical one, were girl meets boy, falls in love with him, and ta-da, they live happily ever after. No. It was about a girl who, above everything, wanted to just be normal. Not perfect, not pretty, not smart, just regular. That's something that we usually do not appreciate, but reading this book made me realize that being normal is actually a rather good thing.
I would reccomend this book to anyone who's bored, because it certainly entertained me! And I'm eagerly waiting to see if there's gonna be a sequel too. Thanks!

I absolutely loved this book! It was great because I could relate to it so well. The only difference is that the main character's situations were a bit more extreme. But, this is definitely a must read, even if you're not into romance. It's more of a book showing that it's always best to speak the truth and that it hurts to constantly hide your thoughts. I'm definitely reading more books by this author.

This book was so incredible! I was blow away. The concept of the story really shook me. The world that Katniss lives in is so unlike our world. I could never imagine having to take the place of my sister in a fight for life because that just doesn't happen. But what if it did? What if our world becomes that? It really makes you appreciate the kind of government we have. The way the author writes is so addictive. i couldn't put the book down. I read the whole thing in one night, and never slept at all. It was daytime before I finished, and when i was done I went online as fast as I could to see if there would be a sequel. I only do that with exceptionally good books. I have told everyone about this book. All my friends have heard nothing but THE HUNGER GAMES from me when they ask me about any books I'm reading. I suggest everyone read this book.

This book makes you want to turn the pages. For the last week or two, I've stayed up into the wee hours of the morning (yes, on a school night) just to read it. I love the characters, particularly because they are centered around my age group (13,14) and the book is easy to connect with. Even if you read the back and think 'Eww! Mutant bird children!' you should really try to be open minded. It's a great plot and it centers attention on what every human wants, to be special, to be a superhero, to get all the attention...at least that's what every one of my friends and I want. Anyway, it's a great book and it carries a deeper message... saving the world, kids doing something to help stop global warming. Ahh...well there are some great books out there, but these got me hooked!

Absolutely beautiful book. The novel�s tone is quiet, yet illustrates a dramatic image of what it is like to grow up in an internment camp for being of Japanese origin. The beginning of the novel has a slow pace, but Chapter 11 resonates (don�t worry, the chapters are actually short). And, the fullcircle ending of the novel is my favorite part --- just unbelievably good. One of those books you have to finish it to fully appreciate it.

It's not just for kids.

This book is the sequel to Jodi Lynn Anderson's book, PEACHES. This book is about 3 different girls who came together the previous summer and are dealing with more trials ad tribulations that come with being a teenager. This is a very good book! The first was amazing, and this one is just as good, if not better. The three main characters, Murphy, Leeda, and Birdie, are so much fun and totally relatable. I recommend this book and its prequel to any girl!

| Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
I loved Melissa Marr's first novel, WICKED LOVELY, but I think I enjoyed INK EXCHANGE even more. Set in the same world as WICKED LOVELY, INK EXCHANGE focuses on what happens when Leslie gets a tattoo that connects her to the dark faeries. Although a dark book, the story examines important issues like addiction and overcoming your past. I highly recommend this book to all who enjoyed WICKED LOVELY or anyone who likes faerie stories that have an undercurrent of darkness.

It may be a children's book, but it's really good book about friendship. Ellen is lonely, then makes a friend, blows it, then figures out how to get her BFF back!

Very good. It's original, and really makes you think at some parts (riddle). It went by pretty fast, but my only critique is that it didn't flow as good as it could have.

| Obscure Origins by Jason Robert Macumber |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
This book rocks! For those who like Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT, I would definitely check this out! It revolves around a kid who finds out his entire life was a simulation and that he is really an alien hybrid. I couldn't put it down the entire time and the ending will leave you begging for the sequel.

I read this book just out of the blue. It was published in Oct. '08 and it rocked. It was the author's first novel and she is writing a sequel to it, and possibly a third according to her website. I thought it was very easy to follow and it caught my attention as a guy. It has action, magic, romance, etc. Very good.

This was an awesome book. It had some thriller and romance elements, and many ironic moments. This is a book for any girl who loves to read about vampires. It gives you the sense that not all Vampires are made by biting and not all Vampires are the same from book to book. Get this book, it's a great read!

I love this book. It deserves a 5/5. It's about a girl whose parents got divorced, and she is spending her vacation with her father and his new wife. While on vacation, she meets a guy who is totally hot and who is also flirting with her. She thinks they are going to be committed, but he has other intentions. But he is not the only guy. She actually gets sensationally kissed by one of these guys.
This story had me laughing, smiling, embarrassed and crying.
