Flower for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

Charlie Gordon is the main character and he was borned with an unusually low IQ. A group of doctors and experts of brain jad done a surgery on him. It made him become very smart and brilliant. He had been through all normal people's lives and normal people's emotions. He became a genius. But after a few months, he slowly became what he was in the beginning, a malfunctioned development person. Neverless, the return to the original state made him feel happier because he thought sometimes being a retaded one, would make his life easier, better than being a very smart and brilliant guy, who would have to face thousands of problems anad a nervous life.

This book is kind of funny at the beginning because the author write it in the way that Charlie Gordon will write before he becomes a genius. The whole book is very interesting and there are many surprises when im reading it. And this book also teaches people that being smart isnt good all the time. Being retarded isnt bad at all because you wont know the dark side of the human hearts. I hope you guys can enjoy this book!!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

The author of this book is Jeff Kinney. He wrote a diary about a kid in his middle school life. Many funny things and terrible things happened in this story, like trick someone by dangerous way.


Next by Michael Crichton

Next is the last novel to be published during Michael Crichton's life. It takes place in the present world, and discusses the possible consequences of various new advances in human genetic research and genetic patenting.
The story focuses on many main characters, who are all related to each other in one way or another in a world full of genetic research, corporate greed, and legal interventions. Throughout the story, the author shows how recent studies, advances, and laws humans have made regarding genetic research could possibly affect the way we live- things like a (completely fictitious) transgenic ape who lives with a human a family and goes to school.
The book certainly challenges the readers to think of how this technology may affect ours futures, which- according to the book- could be a world with effective cancer treatment, trangenic pets, drugs that 'boosts' one's maturity, and much more.
A must read for any fan of techno-thrillers.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne

He had a perfect life, a perfect home and a loving family. Everything seemed to be just right. Until the day his father announced his promotion to a higher position, therefore having to move to Auschwitz. He didn't know that his father worked for Hitler and why they had to move. All he cared about was leaving his friends back in Berlin. Bruno is forced to start over, in a place he never heard of.
This book is about the events that led to a terrible tragedy.

The Hand of the Devil


Thinking that you are not scared of mosquitose ... Try this: The hand of the devil is the most effective horror book I have ever read, which is why I chose it. This book, By Dean Vincent Carter is not something to be taken lightly. About 300 pages but with a good beginning, you are immediatly draged into the story without focusing on how long you read.
The book is a fiction book (obviously), set in Ingland about a journalist who goes on a island in the middle of a lake where he meets a nice old man for an interview. He soon finds out that the man is the servant of a bloodthirsty, giant mosquito from a distant legend. The purpose of the book is to tell you that you can't trust people just because they look nice from the outside, and also to fright you a little.
I liked the story, it was very exciting. The part I liked the most is the end because it is the part where most of the action is. I would recommend this to anybody, except sensible people and highly mature adults.
Thank you for reading my article. If you read the book, don't forget to write a comment! (better be a good one)

Avalon High by Meg Cabot


Although it takes place in the 21st Century in a high school called Avalon High, the book refers to the Aruthurian legend.
Every character seems to have a role in the Arthurian legend: Will, Lance, Jennifer, Marco, Mr.Morton reincarnate respectively King Arthur, Knight Lancelot, Queen Guinevere, Mordred, and Merlin. And the historical legend seems to be repeating itself in this high school.
Ellie, the new girl from Minnestosa, finds herself in this twisted roleplay that's becoming more and more complicated: she appears to be the Lady of Sharlott, who kills herself after being rejected by Knigt Lancelot, while her, Ellie Harrison, has fallen in love with Will.
This book is full of suspense and it is really fast-paced. You wouldn't be able to stop reading it before you know the ending.
One of the many reasons why I like this book a lot is because, while enjoying the story, you can still learn a lot from it: since it is based on the Arthurian legend, you get to know more about the adventures and romances of this great medieval leader.
What I also love about this book is that Ellie seems to be a normal teenage girl in the beginning, but you discover as you keep on reading, that she is actually one of the most important character in the arthurian legend. This makes me think that everything can happen, and keeps me wanting to know what will happen to her next.
If you like fantasy romance, with some historical events in it, you would definitely love this book.
I highly recommend it to you !




The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

Ponyboy 'Pony' Curtis and his older brothers Sodapop 'Soda' and Darry are part of a poor group of teenager called, Greasers. Ponyboy is a shy and quiet boys and gets good grades in school. His oldest brother Darry takes care of Pony and Soda and is serious. He sometimes yells at Pony to do better in school. Soda is the middle brother. He is happy most of the time and very handsome and likeable. Sometimes Darry and Soda get into fights with each other over Pony's education. The Greaser's gang consist of the three Curtis boys, Johnny, Two-bit, and Dallas Winston.

Then comes the Socs. They are stuck up rich kids that love beating up Greaser's like Ponyboy, his brothers and his friends. One night two drunk Socs jump Pony and Johnny. One event leads to another and soon Johnny and Pony are running away.

This book is filled with action and adventure. It is really an emotional book for young readers.

I highly recomend this book.

The DaVinci

This book is second in the series. I suggest that if you where to only read one of Dan brown's books that you would read this one. The others are all exactly the same.
This book is fast-paced, action-filled, and a very good read. It is suited so that it can be read in one night, or 2 months, however the book will drag you in and keep you till the very last page.
Some criticism of this book is that it is almost on a template that the others where built on, the difference is that this one has more action and mystery than the others. I would not recommend this to my greatest enemy because I wouldn't want my greatest enemy to have such a good book.
While I don't want to ruin the storyline of this book I will give a small hint as incentive to go and buy it: The book involves Jesus descendant"
While that may not be much incentive for you it certainly was for me.
I Hope you enjoy this book!
Buy now
"I highly recomend this book"

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrck Rules by Jeff Kinney


I really like this book because it is a funny and interesting book. This book is about Greg Heffley writing his diary about funny and exciting events. Greg is always fighting with his brother and his dad wanted him to be a athletic,Greg admits that he is a wimpy kid. In this book Greg is a class clown but his father disapprove his attitude.
Greg's diary is really interesting because he draws in his diary to show what is going on.
I recommend this book to age 8-12 and people that likes funny books and cartoons.

Cirque Du Freak Book


The book im reading is Darren Shan, Cirque Du Freak and the Vampires Assistant. Those are two of my favorite books iv'e seen this week. the book is about Darren Shan living a vampire life. This book has an exiting way to describe horror. This book i'd give an 5 star because it's so exiting at the end.

Crash by Jerry Spinelli

John 'Crash' Coogan didn't get his nickname by being the sensitive, touchy-feely type. He always wins first place in everything; the blue ribbon in every race and highest number of tackles in every football game. He loves how he looks in shoulder pads and he has to have the most expensive sneakers at the mall. So when he meets Penn, a scrawny, four-eyed, new kid with a pet turtle, he does what comes naturally - he torments him.

What I love about this book is that it is many stories rolled into one. As these stories play out, you watch Crash grow up and reevaluate his life. It's a story about aging grandparents and traditions; Crash's beloved, scrumptious-food-cooking, story-telling grandfather is dying and Penn wants to run a race that his own grandfather proudly ran when he was a kid. In the background of the story is Crash's little sister who is passionately organizing an environmental rally against a building project that her own mother is heading up! Also, Crash is so confident that he expects, in fact demands, that his love interest like him back, but she doesn't. Worse, she is friends with Penn and she despises how Crash treats him. John 'Crash' Coogan might not be the center of the universe after all.

If you love fiction that is very realistic and takes on pressing life issues you'll love this book. But it's not all serious either; you will definitely laugh at the dialogue and the antics of Crash's sister. This really is a novel that will make you think and I hope you read it, especially if you're a bully.
