Are you having a reader’s block? Do you want an interesting, breath-taking book to read that will leave your mind spinning with wilderness? Well you have come to the right blog. Just sit back and read The Lovely Bones! It will be the closest book to realty that you would ever read. No need to fear, this mesmerizing book is savagely beautiful. But there is one thing you need to bare in mind. “Don’t start The Lovely Bones unless you can finish it. The book begins with more horror than you can imagine, but closes with more beauty than you could hope for.” I was completely absorbed with this story, and I do admit, it does get a bit frightening when you’re reading it at night. This book led me to tears which I find amazing.

This book was written in first person-in that case, Susie Salmon. Fourteen year old Susie Salmon was an average teenage girl until she got murdered on December 6th, 1973. She was adjusting to her new home in heaven, which wasn’t anything like she had imagined it. It was like her personal playground. As she is heaven, she is watching life on earth go on without her. We not only see the turmoil of her family and friends, but also Susie herself going through various emotions. We all think that once a person is in Heaven, they would not feel loss or pain, though 'The Lovely Bones' shows a different side. As Susie watches her family move through the years, she realises how much she herself has lost. Will the family uncover her killer before it's too late? Will Susie forgive and cross over? Read to find out!

From the first page to the last page of the book, I was fully interested in the book. It is so compelling and realistic that you just can't seem to put the book down. I struggled to stop reading in the middle because it totally captured my mind. It is extremely touching and emotional at the end which may be too hard for some people to take in. I found myself in tears for some parts in the book. It is certainly a book that stays with you long after you finish the last page. If you ask me, I would absolutely recommend this book to you! This book is probably more suitable for readers 12 and above because it contains some horrifying content that may scare little kids. It is certainly a book you would want to read. If you don't read it, you will regret it! Along with all the interesting text, it still teaches you a deep, important moral that many kids need to know, especially during your teenage years. So once again, I strongly advise you to read this book!

Rick Riordan - The Battle of The Labyrinth

book is all about Percy Jackson, a normal boy on the outside but a half god on the inside. He is the son of Poseidon the god of the sea. In this book he goes on a mission into a labyrinth to find a string that can guide you anywhere you want but in the end they just use a mortal girl because there main enemy Luke has stolen the string.

This is a great book in which they fight more enemies than ever.

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning - Lemony Snicket

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning is the first book in the series: A Series of Unfortunate Events and the start of the horrible events that happened to the children of the Baudelaire family. This book, like the title of the series suggests, is entirely composited of unfortunate events that occurred to the Baudelaires.

Starting off at a nice and calm beach, Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire received the terrible news that their house and their beloved parents all perished in an terrible fire. In the will of their parents, it states that the enormous fortune that the Baudelaire family owned will be passed on to Violet when she comes of age. Since the Baudelaires received the terrible news, they have been entangled with unfortunate events that seemed to never end. As the Baudelaires struggle to survive they begin to learn more about a man named Count Olaf who is the man behind causing these innocent children their woe. The story of these children is carried on on the second book called A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Reptile Room.

Although this book is only around 200 pages long, it presents an interesting story that will make you hungry for the next book. In addition, the way that the author writes this book greatly differs from other writers making the book interesting to read. Putting himself inside his own story and using a pen name called 'Lemony Snicket', I believe Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning is a great book suitable for anyone.

A Gathering Light Jennifer Donnelly

Mattie is a pleasant young girl. Like any other ordinary girl Mattie has a desire that possesses her. Mattie dreams of going to college and becoming a writer. These dreams cannot be pursued when her familial responsibilities are taking up her majority of time. Her dilemmas and choices are then reflected in the life of a young woman drowned in a lake, a woman that Mattie only gets to know through reading her letters. When finally the tales of Mattie and the mysterious path of the drowned girl merge, their stories beautifully combine in a brilliant and perfect conclusion.

I'd recommend this book to people who are interested in learning new vocabulary because every chapter of this book introduces a new word, Mattie's word of the day. in my opinion I think that this book is extremely touching because this book describes things to you in the most detail. This book can also relate to other peoples life including mine.

The Knife of Never Letting Go - By Patrick Ness

At first glance, The Knife of Never Letting Go appears to be another coming of age story. Todd Hewitt, the last boy in Prentisstown, is one month from entering manhood. Sounds normal, right? Add in the fact that there are no women in Prentisstown and everyone can hear each other's thoughts. Not normal at all.

After finding something Todd never expected to find- a girl, his life changes entirely. Before long, Todd, his dog, Manchee and Viola, the girl, must escape Prentisstown. With only a knife and some vague directions from an old map, he must embark on a perilous journey to uncover the truth of Prentisstown and what it really takes to be a man. He discovers that what he knows might not always be true and the truth can be false.

The creation of Todd's world is very cleverly done. The author created Noise, the term used for men's never ending stream of thought. The fact that Todd's thoughts cannot be hidden form other's allows the book to build up the element of surprise and suspense.

After I finished the book, I was emotionally exhausted. The ending was very unexpected; it was like a punch in the stomach when I finished. I anxiously await for the next book to come out

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson, a nearly 16 years old half-blood had come to replace Harry Potter to save the world. After killing monsters for 3 years, he meets up with the worst Titan ever, Kronos and his army. He has to defend the Empire State Building (the Olympus) and prevent western civilisation from dying. If western civilisation dies, all the gods and people in America will die. To prevent this, Percy must first prevent them from boarding into Manhattan directly by destroying their ferry, the ship which contains most of their troops and which is capable of going to Manhattan directly. Then he will have take the campers in camp half-blood to Manhattan and separate them into different groups which will defend each bridge and tunnel blocking the Titan's force from coming in. However, they only have 40 campers and they are missing the Ares campers (the god of war children), the best fighters of camp. They are mad at the Apollo campers (god of the sun) for getting the flying chariot causing them not to do anything at all . So anyway, the Ares campers will just watch their fellow friends die and the western civilisation collapsing. Also, the gods are busy trying to kill another threat, typhon so the gods wont be helping the campers. Will Percy Jackson lead the campers to victory or to their graves.

I like this book and the series very much. People may think this is like Harry Potter, well is different and in my opinion is much better than Harry Potter. I will recommend this book to who know or what to learn about Greek Myths. PS: please read this book after you finish the first 4 book of this series.

Plain Truth By Jodi Picoult

This book is about how a dead infant found on an Amish farm shakes the entire community. An eighteen-year-old, unmarried Amish girl, Katie Fisher, is accused of murdering her newborn baby. As the police investigate the death, they discover that the baby was not stillborn, but died shortly time after birth. Katie Fisher is charged with murder of her new-born son. Ellie Hathaway, a distant relative of Katie, reluctantly accepts the case. If you want to know the rest of the story, you will have to read the book.

I think the book Plain truth has a very surprising plot. The author Jodi Picoult understands a lot about the Amish people to make us understand the irony and the impossibility of Plain folk facing our legal system. It is a great story about values and choices and cultural assumptions. I highly recommend this book. It's a good legal drama with keen psychological study of a unique culture. Jodi Picoult's novel is very readable and you can’t stop reading it after you started. There is so much more about this story than what I wrote in the paragraphs, so you got to read it!

RULES by Cynthia Lord

Twelve year old Catherine yearns for a normal life and a normal brother, this is nearly impossible for her with a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability. She had spent years trying to teach her brother David "rules" such as 'keep you pants on in public' and 'if someone says hi to you, you say hi back' in order for him to be able to blend in with the scociety.
One summer, Catherine meets Jason, a boy from the clinic for occupational therapy. Catherine finds he is a suprising type of new friend, partly because he has a speaking disability and moves around on a wheel chair, and partly because he is the kind of understanding friend she had always yearned for. Catherine also meets Kristi, a next door neighbour she had always wanted. Everything seems fine until Catherines own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and she is forced to think: what is normal?
From this book, i learnt that judgment about a person cannot be made unless you really get to know them. Some people (e.g.~ people with certain disabilities) are often judged too harshly. A good is example from this book is when Kristi (Catherines new neighbour) first meets David and purposely points out to Catherinethat even normal brothers are a pain. This book overall was not only a easy book to understand, but it was also enjoyable and taught me many new things. I am sure everyone will be able to learn something from this book and I recommened this book to people of all ages.

Jumping the Scratch ~ Sarah Weeks

Do you ever get the feeling that whenever something bad happens, there are worse things to come? Well that was what Jamie Reardon assumed when his cat Mister died and his father left his mother for another woman. Most importantly, his aunt Sapphy had a huge accident in the cherry factory that caused her to be unable to store new memories. She was like a scratched record that kept on repeating the same line over and over again, but unlike everybody else, Jamie wanted to help his aunt "Jump the scratch" and carry on with her life.

Unfortunately there is one more bad thing in store for Jamie-something he'd give anything to be able to forget, and this one leaves himself feeling like a complete stranger in the world. One of Jamie's neighbors is a girl in his class called Audrey. She is smart like him, and slowly they become friends. She said that she could hypnotize people, and he wondered whether she could help him with forgetting his secret. However, thinking about what happened to him just made him want to tell someone else about it.

Jamie tries in vain to find the magic trigger that would help Sapphy's memory 'Jump the scratch', like the needle on her favourite Frank Sinatra record, but in the end it is aunt Sapphy and Audrey who helps him unravel the mysteries of memory and jump the scratch in his own life. Jamie never thought that Jamie's horrible secret would be the key for his aunt to jump the scratch as well.

I would recommend this book to anybody from the age of eleven to one hundred and one because it will completely soften your heart and let you know what bad luck really is!

This miraculous book tells a story of a young teenage boy who has gone through a lot of obstacles to overcome what he has gone through. I found this book very interesting and memorable. The part of the book is that you find out what Jamie's horrible secret is at the very end of the book. This develops a cool twist that leaves your mind spinning. Want to know the ugly secret Jamie has to lock up in his heart and cover? Want to know why he would do anything to forget it? There is only one way you can find out. Read the book and uncover his heart-breaking story!

Beautiful Boy by David Sheff

Beautiful Boy is a story about drug addiction and Nic, the main character in the story, started smoking and using marijuana since he was in 7th grade. One of the reasons why he started using drug was because of his parents’ divorce when he was only about 3. Nic thought that marijuana would help him blocked out his feelings when he felt too much, and it also made things blurrier. After going to therapies and lectures by his dad, Nic was influenced by his dad’s talk about how drugs were bad for his health and how it will affect your life afterwards. Things started to turn well when he was in 8th grade; he stopped hanging out with the friends who sold him the drug. He started to read massive amount of books, which helped him to become the award- winning journalist. He started to work hard, wanting to get good grades so he could enter an university. Through Nic’s hard working, he entered an university in Los Angeles which forced him to leave his family, and that was when he started the drug, meth.

This book was written from parents’ point of view, so that we could feel how the parents felt when they were facing their child’s addiction to drugs. I think this is a really interesting book, because through the storylines, we could actually see the way Nic changed and the way the parents reacted. This is one of the most depressing stories I have ever read before, and I recommend teenagers to read this book.

The Other Sister-S.T Underdahl

Josey Muller's regular life of homeowork, guys, and gossip was blown away when her parents dropped a bomb: she has an older sister that she never knew about. Her parents were overjoyed to reunite with Audrey, the baby they were forced to give up in high-school. Everyone was cool with this. Somehow, this was just not so easy for 16 year old Josey, to accept this fact. She had been playing along well, until one day. She finally cannot hold this anymore, and suddenly, a torrence of uncontrollable words came out of her mouth. Tears started to roll down her cheeks. How are her parents going to react? Read this book and find out.
I really enjoyed reading this book, because of how the tension was built. The way Josey dealed with things were sometimes not very mature, but she certainly got to her point, and made sure that everyone knew how she felt. Some parts of this book was emotional and I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about family issues.

As months pass without leads, Susie sees her parents' marriage being contorted by loss, her sister hardening herself in an effort to stay strong, and little brother trying to grasp the meaning of the word gone.

As she explores heaven, it looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kind of swing sets. There are counselors to help newcomers adjust and friends to room with. Whatever she wants appears before she thinks of it-except the thing she wants most: to be back with the people she loved on earth.

With compassion, longing, and a growing understanding, Susie sees her loved ones pass through grief and begin to mend. Her father embarks on a quest that is very risky to ensnare her killer. Her sister takes undertakes a feat of remarkable daring. And the boy Susie cared for moves on, only to find himself in the middle of a miraculous event.

This is one of the most unusual books I have ever read before. The descriptions of heaven may be a bit unrealistic, but it was a great book for the most part.

The content might be too serious for 12 years olds and down, because it has some adult matter in the book. I had a fantastic time reading this book.

A series of Unfortunate Events : The Bad Beginning

The series of the Unfortunate Events is written by Lemony Snicket which then was filmed as a movie in 2004. The Bad Beginning is the first book of the series "A Series of Unfortunate Events".

Percy Jackson & The Olympians- The Sea of Monsters

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan
It is the second book of the "Percy Jackson & The Olympians" series. There are the Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Tiatan's curse, The Battle of Labyrinth and The Last Olympian. This fantasy series fascinated me since I first read it. Percy and all half bloods learnt a lot in these dangerous quests, although sometimes they need to bear the grief of death. He grew up a lot in this event, in addition, it contains interesting conflicts and humorous dialogue. I could barely stop reading it.
The main character Percy Jackson is a half blood, who is the son of Poseidon. At the end of school year, Laistrygonian giants attacked him and his cyclops brother Tyson with flaming cannon balls. Their friend Annabeth, the daughter of Athena came in time to help them, also reported the bad news: Protector of the Magic Boarder, Thalia Tree is dying, Camp Half Blood is in grave danger. At the same time, Percy's dream about their satyr friend Grover come true, that he is captured and forced to marry a cyclops in 2 weeks. The only way they can save him is to find the golden fleece on the island: The Sea of Monsters.
Percy, Annabeth and Tyson experienced uncountable danger and difficulties, but they overcome them. They escaped from the monsters swarming cruise"Princess Adromeda", shelled Hydra the nine head reptile, fleed from Charybodis the hurricane and Syclla the men eating monster, beated Circe who turn men into guniea pigs, and find the island, fought with the enormous Cyclops Polyphemus. With the gift from Hermes, they eventually saved Grover and Clarisse, in addition, get the Golden Fleece. He even deceived Luke to tell the truth to the whole camp in Iris-message, clearing Chiron's name for poisonong Thalia's tree; and fought Luke to gain more time for Clarisse. They finally completed the quest and saved the camp.

There are lots of meaningful moments that made Percy grow up. Once he had felt ashamed for having a cyclops as brother, but after they been through so many hard time together; he realized how important Tyson is to him, no matter what others think. At the end of the chariot competition, he admitted Tyson as his great brother and shared the victory with him. Everyone cheered. Tyson found both his friends and interest, he isn't self- abased anymore. The developing of trust and understanding of them taught me that communicating is important, but always think in their point of view before any hurting could be done.

Furthermore, there is one decision Percy had taken really impressed me, that he let Clarrise send the Gold Fleece back alone, since this is her quest and the deadline is close. Annabeth disagreed his incredibly riskful act, but Percy thought for the relationship between her father Ares and her, the feeling of quest been taken away, then insisted on giving Clarisse a chance. His desicion is proved correct soon when Luke attacked them. Although Clarisse and Percy were worst enemies, but he considered her feelings and trusted her. They were less tense afterward. I admired his guts, considerate, and trust. On "Princess Adromeda", he dared to fight Luke even he knew how well he is, just to gain time for his friends to esape.

In addition, I think the Circe's word:"Everyone has a guniea pig inside, and that is your true form." is quite appropriate. No matter how brave or strong a person is, they all have some thing they fear of, some time they were helpless.

In conclusion, Percy Jackson & The Olympians series is something you want to read it over and over. If you like fantasy or adventure stories, don't miss it. It contains excitement, adventure, joy, bitter, friendship, family, trust, respect, and courage, like a cup of espresso, bitter but mellow, stay on your tongue in such a profound way, make it unforgetable. Reading it improves your vocabulary and knowledge of Greek myth, and you will enjoy the story with the half bloods. Remember to reserve quick from the library, soon there will be a long list.

Shiver - Maggie Stiefvater

Grace was once attacked by wolves when she was young. From then on she became extremely interested in the wolves that lived in the woods behind her house, particularly the wolf with the yellow eyes that saved her from being mauled to death vice versa. After she got attacked she didn't feel scared or in danger when the wolves came near her; she thought they were harmless, but it all changed when Jack Culpeper was killed.

Jack Culpeper was Grace's classmate, and he got mauled to death by the pack of wolves that lived in the forest near the town. Well that was what everybody in the town thought; Jack Culpeper did not die, because the wolves that lived in the forest weren't normal wolves, they were werewolves. The werewolves changed back into humans when the temperature became hot and turned back into wolves in the cold weather and the longer they've been a wolf the hotter the temperature needs to be for them to turn back into wolves and one day they wouldn't be able to turn back to humans. When werewolves bite people they turn them the victim into a werewolf but abnormally Grace did not turn into one. Jack Culpeper was bitten badly so when the people found him they thought he was dead.

The town became paranoid over the fact that there were wild wolves that could threaten the life of a human living in the woods. So the townsmen decided to hunt the wolves. Grace's passion towards the yellow eyed wolf forced her stop the hunt, but she was too late and her wolf got shot. Strangely Sam (the yellow eyed werewolf) turned back into human, and he met Grace for the first time in human form.

Grace and Sam fall in love. Grace believes that her relationship couldn't go wrong, but Sam has some secrets of his own. Sam won't be turning back into a human anymore, that year would be his last. Suddenly Sam finds himself locked in a race to find a cure to his werewolf curse, all the while suspecting Jack Culpeper may conceiving some harmful secrets of his own.

This mesmerizing book tells a tale of two lovers and their obstacles in life, and their race against time to move around them . I recommend this book to people who have problems of their own, because this book can really relate to the people who are in stress. This book will give you hope, because this book has a happy ending.

This book is about the 5 marine snipers in Vietnam. It follows the progress of this unit through multiple campaigns from the founding of this regiment to the time that they leave Vietnam years later. I liked this book because it is written by someone who knew the snipers so it is quite personal. Its also nice because i like this sort of book and i recommend it to anyone else who likes this sort of thing

Three of Diamonds by Anthony Horowitz

Three of Diamonds is an excellent series of books written by Anthony Horowitz. This is a three books in 1 which are 3 different books written by Anthony Horowitz. All 3 books are a mystery series that happen to 2 diamond brothers.

The first book is about a French confection, where the 2 brothers go to France where they have to encounter some illegal drug dealers and escape there alive

The second book is about a picture of a blurred man who is said to be dead. The brothers have to prove if he actually is dead, and what is the mystery behind it

The third book is honestly the best of all the 3 where they go to a remote Scottish island with their old friends, and they start getting killed 1 by 1. The 2 brothers have to find out the mystery behind all this

I really recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense, and mystery books

The Nixie's Song by Tony Diterlizzi

The spiderwick chronicles is back with the second chronicle. However this time, the characters are different and the story too. The story is about two people Nick Varcas and Laurie Varcas who are living in the Mangrove Hollow. Laurie thinks about faeries all the time and has a field guide about it. She also tries to find them by looking around the forest around her house. Nick has no interest in looking faeries but he is drag in to Laurie's faeries search. During the search, they find a faerie and they saved her life. In return, they must find her sisters or they bad things will happen to them (a very good thing in return right?). During their journey of finding the faeries sisters, they find strange things and...danger.

I like this book because it is full of imagination and creativity making it must more interesting to read than any diary books. I will recommend this book to the people who read the first series of Spiderwick.
P.s: if you haven't read the first series don't read the second series otherwise it will make no sense at all.

loser

Loser, by Jerry Spinelli is a heart touching story about a young boy, Donald Zinkoff, and why people are called “losers.” This story is about how Zinkoff was one of those people, and how he also got noticed. In this story, you first meet Zinkoff when he is about three or four years old, and are introduced into the world of kids competing and racing. Zinkoff soon enters first grade, and goes to school. He plays soccer and other sports. He loves to just play and has no regard for the rules of the game. His teammates think it's weird that he doesn't mind losing. He keeps a positive attitude and doesn't make many friends, although he tries.He is first noticed when his fourth grade teacher, instead of placing him in the back of the classroom, like all the rest of his teachers had, places him in the front of the classroom. Kids start to notice him. A quote from the book is an example of how little they really thought about him beforehand:
"Zinkoff has always been clumsy, but now they notice. Zinkoff has always been messy and atrocious and too early and giggly and slow and more often than not wrong in his answers. But now they notice. They notice the stars on his shirts and his atrocious hair and his atrocious way he volunteers for everything. They notice it all. Even the dime-sized birthmark on his neck below his right earlobe.

Small Steps By: Louis Sachar

Small Steps is a sequence of Holes, also written by Louis Sachar.
Summary: Two years after being released from Camp Green Lake, Armpit is home in Austin, Texas, trying to turn his life around, but it's extremely hard if you have a criminal record. The only person who believes in him is his ten year old disable neighbor-Ginny. Together they're learning to take small steps instead of large steps.
Armpit seems to be on the right track until X-Ray comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme. X-Ray's moneymaking plan leads Armpit to a chance encounter with teen pop sensation Kaira DeLeon, and Armpit's life suddenly loses control. Only one thing is 100% certain: Armpit's life will never be like before again.
I think Small Steps is a very interesting book. When you start reading it, you won't want to stop. I strongly recommend people who liked the book Holes to read this book!

The South Pole by Roald Amudsen

Roald Amudsen wrote this book, Robert Falcon Scott's his rival. However Scott died so Captain Amudsen lived so he wrote about the trip.

Robert Falcon Scott is a young man who's been in the navy all his life and passed out of Britannia as a midshipman, seventh overall in a class of 26, he knew he has to prove to everyone that he can do more by himself. Therefore, he took on the Discovery Expedition to South Pole, well no one knows it was to the South Pole, they only knew that its an expedition for discoveries. The ship they sailed on was named Discovery.

The book is really interesting as it talks about one person froma third party's point of view and you can see how the author goes "They see a huge ice shelf that's called Ross Ice Shelf but at that time, there wasn't a name for it so it was known to everyone as "The Barrier". A barrier that stops people from going to the South pole." The author tells you about what happened then, and how it could have been improved etc.

For all those travel-lovers out there, this is a "you-have-to-read-this-book-because-you'll-love-it" book! I personally don't like to read much, but this book did get me reading on and on, non stop. If you love to read non-fiction books, this is a great book too. It talks quite alot about the past because, well, Scott's from the past of course.

I hope whoever that reads it will enjoy as much I did. :)

Chasing Che by Patrick Symmes

Che Guevara a revolutionary, physician, author, intellectual, guerrilla leader, diplomat, military theorist, and major figure of the Cuban Revolution. Thousands of T-shirts with his face on it sold around the world. But how did he become such a famous person, what did he do and where did he come from. 'Chasing Che' follows the adventure of Ernesto Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado, through the authors eyes in a motorcycle journey through South America

Two hundred and twenty nine miles south of Buenos Aires, the engine of the BMW R80 G/S dies, and than silence. Nothing, nothing to hear or to see. These aren't the only problems Patrick Symmes since he arrived in Buenos Aires, first his luggage mysteriously disappeared and than no one could find his motorcycle in the harbor. In the book Patrick Symmes tries his best in being like Che, even if this means stealing office supplies from local newspapers.

I like how Patrick Symmes tries to follow the exact routes the two G's- as he like to call them- went, and even if those didn't exist he still tried to have the same experience the two young adults had.

Every book is different to others, this one connects history with travel, which I enjoyed. I learned a lot about Che, who was just another historic diplomat. Personally I would recommend this to people, who are interested in history and travel adventures.

Neither here nor there by Bill Bryson

Neither here nor there travels in Europe is written by Bill Bryson in 1991. In it, he talks about his travels in Europe, from the northernmost point - Norway, to Turkey, one of the nearest european countries to Asia.

His trip begins with Hemmerfest in Norway, where Bryson stays for months, in order to see the Northen Light.

Unlike the other Bill Bryson's travelogues, Neither here nor there contains lots of flash backs: he retraces his journey he had had twenty years ago in Europe.

I've always thought that the first chapter of a book is what decides its succes. Neither here nor there caught my attention on the first page: it starts of with a misadventure Bill Bryson had in the beginning of the trip to Hemmerfest: he overslept and couldnt get on the plane due to a mistake of his name on the reservation: Bernt Bjornson... he encounters numerous misadventures before finally arriving in Norway. This made me want to know what would happen to him next and drawn me more and more into the story.

The best part about the book, is Bill Bryson's writing style. He adds humour into the whole story and describes the surroundings, the people, the events... everything that's in front of him with such a special way that it keeps me amazed through out the whole book. He can make the most boring, ordinary experiences sound interesting; and the awkward situations Bryson often finds himself in are discribed in such a humourous and vivid way that you can immediately picture the situation and will be laughing till your stomach aches and have tears in your eyes.

I am normally not a big fan of non-fiction, but this book just kept me reading on and on.
Anyone who wants to have a good laugh, while learning about other countries, should definitely read this book!

I Am An Oil Tanker - by Fi Glover

This book is about a girl called Fi Glover who had a random appifany in a hotel at night, wanting to cross continents, seeking out truly unique radio stations in the world.
The book will introduce you to alot of different places like Austria, Belgium, Beirut, Montserrat, New york, Palm Springs and many more.

Its starts of in a bar in California and Fi Glover was suffering from an interesting collision in a bar with Dj Bob, his Texan lcik and some truly bad line dancers. She sat in her hotel room fiddlinng with the radio at 3am and began to wonder how often she'd been here, washed up in a strange town, searching for somthing familiar but local on the dials.

This book as a sort of sense of humour that would just be enough to make you laugh.
It is funny and exciting how she gets to places and how she gets interviewed.
I fully enjoyed this book and im sure you will too.

Journey to the Alcarria by Camilo Jose Cela

Its very common to hear that travel diaries all have boring features: endless descriptions, no dialogues and actionless! But the people saying that have probably never read this book by Camilo Jose Cela called "Journey to the Alcarria. The book is simply written, a bit more than 100 pages long and starts directly to the point by the begining.
The book is non fiction, about a traveler called Camilo Jose Cela, who anticipates a solo trip by foot to the center of Spain. The book is the story of his trip; the people he encountered, the landscapes he saw and what he thought. The author doesn't use any but an interesting type of writing which doesn't use too much descriptions but which offers efficient imagery by describing only the important parts

The purpose is mostly to tell you about adventurers who travel solo in dangerous places. I recommend this book to any fans of Spain and the country side.

The Lost Continent by Bill Bryson

In his travel book "The Lost Continent", Bill Bryson doesn’t write like most writers -a travel to an unknown country and all. He on the other hand, travels to small town America even though he grew up in Iowa. During his travel he uses many anecdotes relating what he is experiencing alone to what he experienced with his father and siblings when they would all go on a road trip together.
Near the beginning of the book Bill Bryson writes “As my father always used to tell me, ‘you see, son, there’s always someone in the world worse off than you.’ And I always used to think, ‘So?’”. I like this quotation because it is an anecdote without the reader noticing it much and at the same time it is humorous and true.
I would recommend this book to anybody who has or hasn’t been to America because if you haven’t you really will feel as if you have experienced the people.

Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure

One of the most interesting things I found about the book was the title, Hemingway Adventure. How did Palin come up with such title you ask? He started reading Ernest Hemingway's journalism, short stories, biographies and memoirs, including less fashionable novels for his research. Once he started to get to know Hemingway more, he was attracted to the same thing he was thirty-five years before - the unforced, unsesational, uncomplicated and magical ability to bring the world to life when he heard of Ernest Hemingway when he was a teenager.
Hemingway Adventure sets out to explore the amazing and rich territory of Hemingway's life. By his inspiration, Palin experiences Hemingway's adventure by either bull-running in Pamplona, fishing for marlin in the Gulf Stream or drinking daiquiris in Havana or even been attacked by cheetahs in Africa "The cheetah bares his teeth and backs up. My hand wobbles. I breathe deeply and keep it moving. It's almost there, hovering above the big, sad, yellow eyes, when the cheetah delivers a sharp and wholly unexpected right hook to my leg". I like it how he added suspension which shows the contrasts between the the big, sad, yellows eyes and when the cheetah attacks him.
Palin's writing is like no other; he allows his audience to portray what he wants as if a picture were to be painted. Humor is what makes his work so entertaining, along with his keen insights on life.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes humor or been taken on a short journey along with Michael Palin.

The Thunderbolt Kid- Bill bryson

Never before has history been laced with so much sarcasm and humor than in Bill bryson's book, "The Thunderbolt Kid". The judgmental, almost condecending, style of bill bryson mixed with a biography of his own childhood maranate together to make a deleciously filling and lively story about america in the late 50s.
The 'Thunderbolt Kid' was what young bill bryson pretended to be when he dresses up as one of the superheros in his comic books. Although he tries to use his powers for good, throughout the book he is constantly zapping people into a smoking piles of ash.

Here is an interview with him






As you can see bill bryson's natural humor greatly contributes to his style of
writing. This great humor is shown by constantly poking fun at himself,

the US, and his general way of life constantly throughout the book.

I recommend that you read through the first chapter, because this

book is to good to stop at one page.

I hope you enjoy this book

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson

In the book, A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson you can really experience a little piece of American wilderness, more specifically and better known as the Appalachian Trail.

A Walk in the Wood is a great book to read if you want to get a feel of nature. You experience everything he experienced and you feel the way he felt while he was hiking.

Bill Bryson lived in England for 20 years of his life and finally decided to move back to America where he was born. Not long after moving back he comes along a path that vanished in to the woods of the edge of town. There was a sign that read "Appalachian Trail." This trail runs 2,100 miles from Georgia to Maine which wanders through 14 states. With this Bryson decides to do the impossible, walk the whole Appalachian Trail (only a very few people walk the full 2,100 miles). To walk the total trail it takes about 4 months from beginning to end. He has lots of mixed feeling about his adventure because it is a somewhat dangerous journey and anything can happen. Bryson talks about how people have been attacked by bears and survived and really quite the opposite as well.

Before his journey-as we all probably know before going on a four month hike-he researched a lot about the park and about what sort of wild life he could encounter. He also spent a lot of money on equipment. Do you think he went on his journey alone? Well of course not. Who do know would go hiking through the woods alone??? He calls a whole bunch of his friends and only one of them decides to go with him. His name is Stephan Katz which was Bryson's hiking partner through Europe in an earlier book he wrote.

Bryson describes his journey in great detail but not only that he gives some history about the trail. You can witness things that you couldn't even imagine of while you are watching a movie. Bryson's sarcasm (which is really quite humorous) and his wonderful description of his surroundings makes this book fun to read. You can experience his humor for example in this quote: "Do you know what that was, Bryson? Cream soda. You know what else? I'm drinking it right now..." Bryson continuously descibes his hiking partner as a little child. Katz still complains that he wasn't able to watch the X-files and this makes him sound like a four year old instead of a forty-five year old. Bryson ends the explaination by saying, "Man, that was so good. Now --- you and good night."

After reading only a hundred pages of the book, it has really caught my attention. i highly recommed this book because it will cause you to roll on the floor laughing.

Facing Up By Bear Grylls

This book is written by Bear Grylls, a famous adventurer, writer and TV presenter. This book is about Bear Grylls going on a remarkable journey to the summit of Mt. Everest. In this story, Bear Grylls (author) wrote about his life experiences in the special force and childhood. Before Bear Grylls decided to 'conquer' Mt. Everest, he spent three months in the hospital in Africa, due to a broken vertebrae, caused by an accident when landing with a parachute. Eight months after the accident, he quit the special force.

Bear Grylls then have the idea of 'conquering' Mt. Everest, since he has recovered gradually throughout the year. He and his friend, Neil Laughton then decided to aim for the Indian Army, to gain access to the Himalayan Mountains. The expedition leader was Neil Laughton, as Neil has a great amount of experience on Mt. Everest as he had once organized an expedition, but failed due to a huge number of deaths.

I recommend this book as the author, Bear Grylls, used techniques like imagery, to depict the where he went and so on.

Inti Thin Air by Jon Krakauer

When Jon Krakauer, the narrator, had finally reached the summit of Mt. Everest successfully. On May 10, 1996, his teammates hadn't sleep for at least fifty-seven hours and they were all tormented by effects of oxygen depletion.

Therefore, this disaster ended with a disaster where his teammates perished one after another. How could Jon Krakauer manage to survive through this freezing inferno to tell the story?

The quote that I liked the best within this book is the following: "Straddling the top of the world, one foot in China and the other in Nepal, I cleared the ice from my oxygen mask, hunched a shoulder against the wind, and stared absently down at the vastness of Tibet..." In this quote, the author used strong imagery like magnets to attract the readers into the story. Therefore, it makes you feel like if you are just standing beside the narrator also starring into the vastness.

This author's style of informing story is more than just story-telling. It is also pulling the readers into the actually place where you can feel your skin getting ripped by the coldness of Mt. Everest or the brain-altering effects of lack of oxygen.

Bill Bryson- Neither Here Nor There

In this novel, Bill Bryson writes down his recent travel across Europe, revisiting places he'd been to as a teenager- including the restaurant he and his wife had eaten at during their first honeymoon. He includes his personal- and strong- opinions of just about everyone, everything, and everywhere in the trip in the funniest ways imaginable (though some readers may occasionally find a rather offensive comment within the book). The reader of this article may like to note that there is a bit of an abundance of swear words within the book's 250 or so pages.
This is definitely one of the funniest non-fiction books in existence. Bill Bryson's informal and sarcastic style presents all his personal accounts and memories in an incredibly funny manner (e.g. "I was sitting beside the heater, so that while chill drafts teased my upper extremities, my left leg grew so hot that I could hear the hairs on it crackle. The seats were designed by a dwarf seeking revenge on full- sized people; there was no other explanation"). I haven't exactly finished reading the book yet, but that's be one of my favorite quotes so far.
As a message to all readers who do not yet believe that a simple travel book could 'out-funny' a bookful of jokes compiled by a bunch of experienced comedians, read this at all cost. It will literally instantly erase all preassumptions that non-fiction books have to be dull and purely informative texts.
A highly recommended book.

Field Trip to Niagara Falls

This book is about a mouse called Geronimo Stilton took his nephew Benjamin Stilton to school. The teacher said that they are going to a field trip, so she wrote the place. But suddenly, someone push Geronimo and his glasses fell on to the floor. So he can't see very care that what did the teacher wrote on the board. He thought it is the place he work at, THE RODENT GAZZETTE, a place that makes newspaper. So he said OK very guickly. Then, he finally found his glasses on the floor and put it on. But he saw the board says Niagara Falls.The teacher told the children that today Geronimo Stilton is taking us to Niagara Falls from Canada.

Are You There God? Its me, Margaret by Judy Blume.

This is a book I read when I was 12, it was my birthday present from my friend's mom. For girls, we go through puberty when we're 12 (well, on average) and my friend's mom thought that it was a "guide" for me, and the book did help me. Its also about religious intolerance, like against Jewish and etc.

This book is basically about this girl named Margaret who's in sixth grade and has no religion. And throughout the book you can see the process and the problems she faced during her quest for a single religion. She's also confronted by many preteen females issues such as buying her first bra, having her first period and coping with belted sanitary pads, jealousy towards another girl who has developed womanly figure earlier than others, liking boys and voicing opinions if it differs from other girlfriends.

The book is quite simple so that's all I can say about the book or else there won't be any surprise when you read it. :) I recommend young girls to read it like, Year 5-7s. don't really recommend boys it read it, of course.

Special Operations--Dogfight

This book is about a Boy called Finn Gunnersen who was a 13 year old boy who lived in Nazi occupied Norway in world war 2. He loves aeroplanes and does all he can to damage and the escape the Nazis in Norway by steeling a German plane

Henderson's Boys: The Escape

Being a dedicated fan to Robert Muchamore's series, CHERUB, I have found another spin-off spy novel that I guarantee will have your eyes glued to the pages.

No shelter from the war, food on rations and in a short supply, constant air raids on buildings, it is not surprising people don't make it.
Marc has planned on escaping his orphanage for many years, but he just can't do it. He wanted to escape his torturous roommates and his headmaster. It wasn't possible. It was miles away from any major city and he had no forms of free transportation other than foot.
One day he recieves the news that his headmaster had bought a shiny brand new bike, unlocked, free for anyone in the orphanage to touch. With the help of his roommates that taunted and dared him to run away, he sees his chance and summons up his courage and runs away, also stealing some food and money from his headmaster's room, which turned out to be very useful.
On the other hand, Charles Henderson was a British spy that was currently smuggling a blueprint for an advances technology in World War II from the Germans for the British. Everyone in Hitler's army is trying to hunt him down. They havn't succeeded yet.
Marc has taken refuge in Charles Henderson's house unknowning broke in. He discovers the house's owner when he saw a letter addressed to Charles Henderson, which he had not know was a spy.

So Much To Tell You by John Marsden

This is a book I read a while back and thought it would be interesting to share. Its the story of a young girl, Marina, who has a very troubled life, she is a mute. She also has a scared face given to her by her father due to an acid spill after the accident she refuses to talk to anyone during recovery and her mother (who grows tired of her being mute) sends her to Warrington Boarding School in an effort to improve her communication, but even there she continues to silence. Until her English teacher Mr Lindell gives the glasses journals to write in, Mariana takes to it a sort of a joke writing down very trivial things about her life at school, but as time goes on she starts to write more deep things and this becomes her only source of communication, as the book progresses she meets a girl by the name of Cathy Preshill, she is the closest thing Marina has to a friend she is tall and thin and likes to read poetry, by the end of the book she goes to meet her father in what appears to be prison but the author isn't clear. And says her only words in the entire book: "Hello, Dad," and "I've got so much to tell you..."

This is a book that nearly every teenager in the world should read its got the whole deal: boys and girls, sex and family defiantly a good book that I love reading and its won a few awards which is cool too :)

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice is for sure one of the most famous novels of Jane Austen.
With the main character Elizabeth Bennet, we enter the world and lifestyle of the 19Th century:

Elizabeth is intelligent, attractive, but she often judges people on first impressions. She first meets Darcy, a wealthy young man who's handsome and smart but seems to be proud and cares too much about his social status, at a dance and starts immediately to think that Darcy is a hateful person. As time passes by, Elizabeth finds other reasons to hate Darcy, mainly because of his maltreatment of Wickham, Elizabeth's new-met friend, and also due to the rumors of Darcy trying to separate his friend, Bingley and Jane, Elizabeth's older sister.
But funnily, despite Elizabeth's repugnance towards him, Darcy finds himself drawn to Elizabeth.

But too proud to declare his love, he continues to stay cold and distant.

These two young persons, one blinded by prejudice and the other too proud to declare his true feelings, continue to confront each other until one day when all the misunderstandings are clarified.

This book is one of my favorites out of all the books that I've read. In it, I found humor, beautiful descriptions of people and places, and mostly, an intriguing plot full of suspense which kept me reading, and wondering what was going to happen next.

If you like to read classics, then you would definitely love this book!

Demon haunted world - Ryan Weinstein

Before you start to peer down the twisted labaryth that is "The demon haunted world" I must remind you to bring your ball of string because you will soon find you need it dearly.
This book is the perfect book for those who are interusted in TOK. You will also find this book perfect if you are a terrible sceptic that only wants to go deeper into strange ideas. As is all physics books, especialy those that are leaning more towards quantom mechanics rather than physics, you must allow yourself to realize that this book will make you a much worse person before there is any hope of becoming a better one. When you read this book, if you are able to grasp the strange truths, you also need to know that in no way should any of this ever be used in an argument. Reading this books like this is the closest you can go to reading a book on dark magic. Also if you want to take a bit of advice from me, mentioning this in an argument with a highly religious person will get you thrown out of whichever dwelling you happen to be in.
This book is ludicrous, strange, and blasphemy in most churches. It is also true.
