Mockingjay

After the Capitol wiped out district 12. The emotion Katniss felt most was anger. In the 3 quarter quell President Snow tried to prove that the Capitol can't be destroyed, but that decision didn't help him. After Katniss comes out of The Hunger Games alive (again) she, and the survivors of District 13 are hiding in District 13 which only the capitol knew still existed. Peeta has been taken in the control of the capitol and has been...basically brainwashed. They need to fight the capitol, but they have to go there, without being seen.

Somethings I liked about this book was that it was very exciting and you never knew what was going to happen next. Throughout the whole series you never really knew how it was going to end. I think the thing i liked the most was that you didn't really like the main character. She was definitely not a bad guy, but she wasn't great.

Something I didn't like was that it was by far the slowest paced, Hunger Games book. The Ending was also a bit disappointing. I feel like there needed to be a longer and fun ending. It sort of seemed like she had to make the book. It seemed like she was forcing herself to write instead of writing it for fun. Only at some points thought. At most parts it seemed like she was writing how she usually does.

The Hunger Games movie comes out March 23, 2012.

Ender's Game

Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is a six year old with a wild life ahead of him. The I.F. battle school w3hich trains kids for to fight against the buggers, and alien species that hass attacked them before. The battle school, only picks the smartest kids in the world to come and train. Ender is one of them. They learn everything they would normally learn at a school on Earth, but in addition they learn how to fight in zero-gravity conditions. Each student is assinged an army that they will learn and train with. And that is just the beginning of this story.

Something I like about it is how you really feel the emotions of the characters. You could tell easily that Orson Scott Card loved writing it. All the sentences flowed together perfectly. The other thing I liked is how he had the most intelligent people in the story. Most books I read that have the main characters as kids, make the children have them looking to the adults, for advice. Int this book it's kids, that are making their own decisions.

Somethings I don't like about it, was that in the beginning not a whole lot of action happened. It was more of an emotional part. It did help you know the character more, but I don't think that he needed to have so much of the story be on that. Just like I wrote in the Mockingjay post, Orson Scott Card, made the character not the mos lovable person. He did go through a lot so I understand why Ender was like that.

I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT ONE'S!

Catching Fire!

The Best Book in the Hunger Games trilogy. (I think most people agree) Just like the first, Catching Fire is amazingly well written, and it made me we want to never stop reading it. The description is wonderful, but the thing that had me hooked the most, was that i felt the emotions of the main characters when I read it. Scratch that, I felt the feelings for ALL of the characters when reading it. That is how well the author wrote it. The author doesn't tell the readers what's happening all thee time, so you have figure it out yourself. That's another reason why it's so good. There's betrayal, pain, ( physical and emotional) shock happiness, and relief in Catching Fire, and that is why it is good!

The Hunger Games!

BEWARE: THE NEW HARRY POTTER

As of right now, The Hunger Games are my favorite trilogy of books. But in this review I am only writing about the first one. The Hunger Games takes place in a distopian future in the ruins of a place know as North America. The U.S. Is split up into 12 districts revolving around a capitol city which is located in the Rocky Mountains. Each district revolves on each other for the things they produce, such as, coal, lumber, agriculture, electronics. Each year, every district sends a boy and a girl to participate in The Hunger Games. The twenty four contestants, get dropped into a 100 acre arena and have a fight to the death. The winner is the one that is the last one living, and he or she (the winner) gets treated like royalty while the rest of the citizens are trying to not starve. It's very well written, and it make s you feel the emotions of the characters.

Sorry for not posting things for a while!

PATRIOTS DEPRESSING LOSS :(

Before the game I thought the Pat's were gonna win (like everyone else in the world) by 7. In the first half it was ok but not great. On our first drive Tom Brady threw his first interception in like 10 games (go figure) and in the second half we played HORRIBLY. On almost every drive we punted and they seemed to score. I never thought I would say this but I wish that they didn't get the by week in the playoffs. Even if we still played the Jets we would have had more playing time in an actual game. I know that they practiced but I still think there is a major difference between a playoff GAME and practicing. When I watched our last drive and we giout the extra point and we were within two i thought we had a chance. The first play for the Jets was a run that went almost 60 yards and they were inside the 5. That was when I knew my playoff hopes for the Patriots were over :(

DARN YOU REX RYAN (and all jets players)!

BUSTER POSEY!

I bet you guys didn't know this about Buster Posey. For high school he went to Lee County, in Leesburg, GA,. For the baseball team he played short and pitched. But he stood out the most on the mound. Before his senior year he pitched in the World Junior Championship on Team USA that had Ike davis (New York Mets) Justin Uptin (Arizona Daimondbacks) and Andrew McCutchen (Pittsburg Pirates). At college (FL. State) he played only SS (shortstop) but in his sophmore year his coach had an idea to put him at catcher because he wouldn't have the footspeed of a major league short. He once played all NINE positions in one game in college and made the switch from short to Catcher very easily. Even in his first year in the big leagues he still shakes off signs from pitchers and makes sure his decisions are right. Matt Cain pitcher for the Giants said, "He was not afraid to jump right it. He just wanted to get right in." Even in his first year in a big league uniform I can see Posey being in A LOT of all-star games and a future hall of famer. He proved that to me when in the world series he cought on the winning team and getting the MVP.

HP7

Harry Potter: Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows





What Did You Like About The Book?:





Well, I liked how fast moving and exciting the
book(s) was. there was always something happening and you couldn't tell what was gonna happen next. Harry Potter is my favorite series of books and I guess that made me want to keep reading. I think that any one would like these books no matter how old or how young they are.





What Didn't You Like About the Book?:

Ummmmmm... Man that's a hard question! I guess I didn't like that it had to end and the way it ended. After reading it I want her to write a book just on Snape's life and Dumbeldore's life. If you read it you will know what I mean.

If any of you guys reading this post think of any questions, on the bottom of the post there is a botton that says "comments" if you click on it you can write me one! :) (I know a lot of yopu people already this book)

The Hobbit By J.R.R Tolkien

The Hobbit is about a hobbit called Bilbo Baggins that gets a un-expected visit from 12 dwarves and a wizard named Gandalf. They all go on a mission through mountains and through plains and a mystical forest.

What did you like about The hobbit?

When I read the The Hobbit I entered a whole new world. It had a great sense of humor. And I never wanted to put The Hobbit down when I was reading it. I loved all of the names of the dwarves and all of the creativity Tolkien has in all of his books.

What didn't you like about The Hobbit?

There wasn't thst much that i didn't like but i didn't like how i got really easily mixed up I got when I was reading it. I also didn't like how he doesn't explain the landscape of the land At all during any part of the book.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

What is Artemis Fowl about?

Artemis Fowl JR.'s dad left on a ship called The Fowl Star and was never seen again. People found the ship but nobody was on it. They presumed his father dead but Artemis Fowl JR. does not agree. Artemis Fowl Jr. is a thirteen year old criminal genius and in the first book he meets some fairys and they don't exactly get along that well.

What did you like about it?

I liked learning about the characters and different kinds of creatures. I liked the way the author (Eoin Colfer) explained the characters and the way he. My favorite character in the book is Artemis's body guard Butler. he is HUGE and has a a black belt. I would not like to fight him.

What didn't you like about it?

At some points in the book it was slow moving but it wasn't all the time. I didn't like the personality's of some of the characters, but i suppose that they weren't supposed to have the best personality's in the first place. I also didn't like The illistrations in it that much.

About the author:

He is most famous as the creator of the Artemis Fowl series, but he has also achieved success with other books. His novels have been compared to those of J. K. Rowling, and like Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl is used as a reference to describe the work of other writers (e.g. Jack Heath and Mark Walden). In September 2008, Colfer was commissioned to write the sixth installment of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, entitled And Another Thing....

Eoin Colfer was born in Wexford, in Ireland. He attained worldwide notice in 2002, when his first Artemis Fowl book was published. He then became a New York Times best-selling author of books for children and teens, known for writing the Artemis Fowl series (which consists so far of 7 books), Half Moon Investigations, The Wish List, and The Supernaturalist, along with the Eoin Colfer’ The Legend of... books. In January 2008, Colfer published a book titled Airman, which was a New York Times bestseller. To date the majority of his works have reached the New York Times Bestseller list at least once. Colfer currently resides in Wexford, Ireland with his wife, Jackie, and two children, Séan and Finn.
