Invisible Monsters
by Chuck Palahniuk
Pasted Graphic

I'll admit, I was kind of nervous to read this book. I'd heard a lot of negativity about the author, and that he was too "grotesque". Well, I love when books are "grotesque"! Haha :)
This book was wonderful. About a model who gets shot in the face (ow) and gets a surgery to have a new jaw. She can no longer speak, and is still pressured by the modeling world. This novel is great, and takes you along on the journey of Shannon and her "frenemies" in the literally cutthroat lives of models.



Catching Fire
by Suzanne Collins
BookNewsHungerGames2NEW
This book blew my mind. Like, really. My brain exploded.
Catching Fire officially releases on September 1st. We picked it up early at Book Expo America in New York, and I'm so glad we did! It was so amazing, so detailed, so heartbreaking; I couldn't get enough.
I know that it may be hard to believe, but this book may be even better than the original Hunger Games. It was just so amazing in every way.
Haha, I'll stop talking about how amazing it is now.



MAX

by James Patterson

EPIC. This book is a gazillion times better than The Final Warning in epically epic proportions. Ahh, this book satisfied me in so many ways.
Romance, kick-butt fight scenes, Angel being really friggin' cute and amazing, The Gasman and Ig
being devious little buggers, and ROMANCE between the two loveliest lovebirds in the world :)
This book made me so friggin' happy, I couldn't stop grinning! It's a keeper!
If you gave up on The Flock after The Final Warning, I will personally come and kick your stupid butt, because
you're stupid for missing out on such an amazing book.
Kthxbai.


Tweak

This book is really great, kind of disturbing at times. It's about Nic's journey through drugs, it makes me cringe at the lengths he will go to to get a high. I am never, ever going to do drugs, thanks to this book. It's really taught me a lesson. Everyone my age should read it. Despite the graphic descriptions, it really shows the effects of drugs.
Amazing.

The Mist

by Stephen King

I've listened to the dramatization of this book so many times, and it never gets old. I highly recommend the audio (though the book is very good), I just love hearing the screams and gunshots in the background.
Does that make me a creeper?
Eh. Who cares? Great audio :)

Pretty friggin amazing. Although the pictures weren't exactly like I pictured the characters, I really liked it.
This artist is spectacular, I'd love to see more of the series!


Being
by Kevin Brooks

This book is amazing, gross, but amazing. There's a few parts of the book where I said, "ewww, yucky!" but the greatness of this book made up for the gross bits.
I recommend it for anyone with a strong stomach :)

If any of you know me, you'll know that I'm Disney obsessed. Which is why I read this book! I plan to be a Disney cast member myself, so this book was really great!
Loved it :)



The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins

Okay, this book is AMAZING.
My mom read it, and wouldn't stop talking about it, so I figured I should give it a try. Aaand it really was spectacular! I recommend it to everyone, it's that good!
It's pretty funny, that my family gave up a trip to CHINA so that we could go to Book Expo America, the biggest booksellers convention in the world!
Guess what's going to be at this convention...?
THE SEQUEL TO THE HUNGER GAMES.
Be jealous.

When you write a name in the book, that person dies.
So yeah.
Very nice!!!

This is a manga book, otherwise known as comics.
But better.
It’s a series of four, and it’s AMAZING.
It’s about love and action :)
Really great!

by Rick Riordan

This series is UBER GOOD.
This series is about demigods (kids who have a parent that is a god/goddess), and it is REALLY gooooood. I recommend this book for.... everyone, haha.
I've actually become very fond of Greek Mythology through these books, I think I will study this in school.
READ THIS SERIES.
NOWW.




Flowers for Algernon
by Daniel Penske
015603008X.01.LZZZZZZZ
I reeeally liked this book. (Excuse my large amount of e’s.) You should read it, even though it's a classic.
I know, I know, classics stink. Well, most of them anyway. But this one is really good. It's written in the point of view of a mentally-retarded man, but he gets a surgery done to be "smart".
SO GOOD.




A Wrinkle In Time
by Madeline L'Engle
wrinkle in time
This is another classic, but a good one! I know, I think everything is good. Well, not really. But this one is actually SUPER GOOD.
The language is a little funny ("Oh nuts!", "Yippee!", "Good Golly!" and more!).
I really liked this, The cover may be creepy, but the book is.. maggggnifffficent!



Dreamquest: Tales of Slumberia

Gooood book! This is about Julie, who has horrible, gruesome nightmares about her parents fighting and almost killing her! Julie decides to go into her own mind and take care of this herself!
GRRRRREAT!

Harry Potter is the epitome of fantastic books.
Like, oh my god. So much greatness.
GAH!





Fast Food Nation
by Eric Schlosser
page19_2
This is quite the convincing book. I can't exactly tell if I liked it or not. Only on page 120, in the chapter "Meat and Potatoes" does it tell you something completely shocking. On the top of this page it tells you how McDonald's gets it's french fries to taste so good: It said that the oil it they cook the fries in is 7% cottonseed oil and 93% beef tallow.
Yeah, that doesn't sound too yummy now does it? And that surprisingly gives the fries their unique flavor McDonald's is famous for - and more saturated beef fat than a McDonald's hamburger.
Mmm...That's just delicious.... I LOVED THIS BOOK!





The Maximum Ride Series
by James Patterson
page19_4
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED THIS SERIES! This is a rewritten version of the adult book When The Wind Blows by James Patterson. I definitely recommend this book to anybody! By the way, I read the first book in two days! Wow! I'd sure like a signed copy of this book! Hint, hint to James!



The Kingdom Keepers
by Ridley Pearson
page19_6
This is a GREAT book. Especially for a Disney movie lover, like me. It's great for a genre I don't normally read. It is a cross between Sci-Fi, and Fantasy And yet I still loved it and recommended it to all of my good friends.
I LOVED THIS BOOK A LOT! Ridley Pearson did a great job on this one, can't wait for the sequel!



Green Book
by Jill Paton Walsh
page19_8
My fifth grade teacher Mrs. Gehrig read this to our class as our last book of the year (I think ). It's very much Sci-Fi, and very much fantastic. my mom also read it, and she loved it a lot too, she read it in about ten minutes, it took me half an hour. I love it! By the way, it's a short story. We don't read that fast!



The Book Thief
By Markus Zusak
 page19_12
I read this book for a book report in my 6th grade reading class, Everyone had to find a Historical Fiction book and read it in the time we had that quarter. This was a REALLY GREAT book. It is based during World War II In Nazi, Germany, narrated by death. That made it really interesting! Markus Zusak made Death have a totally different point of view. I loved this book!



The City of Ember Series
By Jeanne DuPrau
page19_16
I LOVED THIS SERIES!!! This series is sort of Post-Apocalyptic, but it gives you a completely different point of view.
If I tell you about the book, I’ll give it all away because every detail matters. I LOVED IT!
