Write a brief review, 50 words or less, of the independent novel that you most recently completed. Be sure to include your author,title, and recommendation to other potential readers.
The novel I completed most recently was There is no me without you. I thought it was amazing how this woman was able to provide so much for the orphans of Ethiopia with hardly any help from the government.
I just finished Julip, by Jim Harrison (my favorite all-time writer!). It is a collection of three novellas. The writing is brilliant, the landscapes vivid, and the characters thoroughly believable, memorable, and flawed.
I just finished reading Candy by Kevin Brooks and it was amazing. It was just like my favorite book Tweak. It amazed me that someone close to my age could go through all those terrible things. Joe's experience with meeting with Candy, I think as a person it changed him. It opened up new doors and oppurtunties.
I just finished Island of Lost Girls by Jennifer McMahon. It was not that good because it jumped from the past to the present every chapter and it was confusing at times. It was also not very realistic with some of the thigs that were happening. Most of the things that were happening in the book would not actually happen in real life.
The last novel i read was Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever by James Patterson. It is the second in the series about a group of mutated kids with wings and other abilities. They are in the middle of finding The School in washingtin D.c. and running away from half wolf chasers. It was a very action packed suspenseful book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action/adventure novels. Yours, 15
I read beyond the choclate war by Robert Cormier. This book wasnt as good as the The Choclate War because it was more gloomy and dark. It tended to drag alot during the middle of the novel. I honestly dont recommend this book because i found it quite boring and not interesting. :\ ||314||
The book i just finished reading was the Junction Boys by Jim Dent. I thought this book had its good parts but overall it was pretty boring. It ended up being more about college and the towm than about football. #313
The book I have just finished reading was "Drive" by Larry Bird was a great book. I liked it because it told about his whole life and what he did throughout to become so good. Basketball was not his first love but it definatly became his last.
I just finished the book Ricochet by Julie Gonzalez. And to me, I think it was an OK book, but it had many characters, and it's very difficult to keep track of who did what and who is related.But, overall I would give it a C on a grade scale.
I just read the book The Godfather by Mario Puzo. The way he made you feel immersed into the book. Overal this book was very good. It was a little confusing at times to fully understand what was going on. In the give this book solid A.

He had no idea what was awaiting him at his boarding school and how much his life would be influenced by his experiences there and by the people he would meet there. -312
the novel i just read was Angles watching over me by Lauree Mcdaniel.i sugest her to anyone who likes to read about loving people.she rights about people who are sick and the people that are there for them and care about them. her novels are often sad but good books.

i currently finished reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyers. this book is amazing , the was the story plays out is great. Also the details help create a good metal image of whats going on in the book. I highly recommend this book to any one who is interested in vampires.
The book i just finished was How to Hook a Hottie by Tina Ferrara.I chose this book because my cousin was reading it but she didnt want to anymore. so I took it and read and im happy i did because the book helped with the project since the main character was actually going to college and all it was nice i guess.so it was really easy. -36
The book that I just finished reading was A Hero is Nothin But a Sandwich by Alice Childress. This was an amazing story about a kid who does drugs and how he effects his whole community. Benjie the protagonist is angry with his teachers, parents and principals. Benjie eventually gets clean when his step dad Butler saves his life when he almost fell off the side of the building. 39

I just finished the biography Hawk:Occupation:Skateboarder by Tony Hawk, I really liked this book because Tony Hawk is a pro skateboarder and I'am very interested in skateboarder. It shows how his life was like before and during a skateboarder. It showed what his whole life was like and interesting stories about him and things that happened in his life. It is my favorite book out of all the books i have read so far. At first it was kind of boring but then it got really interesting.
The book I recently finished was Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz. It was basically about the main protagonist, Schuyler Van Alen, learning something so new about her life and it'll never be the same again after, she then tries to find the answers to her questions, which aren't solved in the first book. I recommend it for Twilight lovers but it doesn't beat Twilight at all so don't expect too highly of it but it's interesting. It's a book series also, and the one I read is the first. -41 -
I just finished reading Better Than Yesterday by Robyn Schneider. I liked reading it because it's about highschool( Hilliard Prep school)and you can relate to the events. It was also pretty easy to read so the book goes by quick. Overall the book was interesting and fun to read.
The last book I recently read was Breaking Point by Alex Flinn. I thought it was a good book because it had a lot of action and adventure in it. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys action and adventure.
I just finished reading Generation Kill by Evan Wright. I would reccomend this novel to people who are interested in modern warfare. This novel is mainly about the war in Iraq. All the information was directly from a Rolling Sotnes reporter who traveled in Iraq with Recon Marines. If you enjoy reading books about war that include every gory detail this book is for you.
I just read Brisinger by Christopher Paolini, Brisinger is the third book in a four book story. It was filled with action and dragons and set during the medieval times. You wouldn't be able to understand the book unless you had previously read its preceding books. If you enjoy action adventure books this is a must read. 411
I last read Ordinary Ghosts by Eireen Corrigan. It's about a teenage boy whose brother is abesent and mother recenttly died. He finds the key to the school he attends which allows him to access the school at all times. I thought it was pretty boring and unexciting. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen but it never did, it kept dragging on. Nothing happened that put me in shock. I wouldn't recommend this book.
I just finished the book Jude by Kate Morgenroth and it was very good. it was about a 15 year old kid who got into drugs and drug dealing very early, following the path of his father. his father was killed by a drug dealer and he tries to find his killer
Sounder was an exquisite book that takes place back in the day, when blacks weren't treated the same as white people. In such an enviroment with a family of almost poverty, their dog named Sounder was a perfect stress releifer. The dog and the young boy, a perfect match in friendship persue many obstacles, except, when Sounder is in need of savior can he be saved by his best friend?
The book I read was "I am America and So Can You". It was pretty funny but not my kinda book. I laughed a lot but I prefer books like "The DaVinci Code". But Stephen Colbert's book wasn't half bad, Bravo Colbert, Bravo.
i read "the last king of Scotland" by Giles Foden. its a story of Idi Amin, the dictator of Uganda. and the changes in Uganda under Amin's dictatorship. I strongly recommend this book, its a great book, it shows the dark side of the world, conflict, and human nature. please don't see the movie,its horrible, and nowhere near the book.
The novel i finished most recently was The Lizard King : The Essential Jim Morrison by Jerry Hopkins. This was a really good biography of the legendary lead singer of the Doors. It tells of his childhood to his untimely death. I would recommend this book to anyone.
I just finished reading Rash by Pete Hautmen, and I enjoyed the book a lot. Although the beginning of the book was a little slow, through the middled of the book, the story became more interesting. I would recommend this book to people.
The Last book I read was Kafka on the Shore, by Haruku Murakami. Its a very deep book, and kind of spiritual. About a 15 year old boy who runs away from home to different provinces in Japan to try to figure out his purpose in life, and try to discover who is long-lost mother and sister were. If anyone has ever seen the movie Fight Club, then you would understand how hard it is to explain that movie to just anybody. It's the same concept with this book. You have to read it to understand. Its longer then I expected and a bit boring at some parts so I wouldnt recommend it to be first choice. ~49
The most recent book I read was 7 days at the hot corner by terry trueman. I didnt like this book becuase i thought it was about baseball but it ended up being about a highschool baseball player who finds out his best friend is gay and remembers when his friend bleed on him so he goes to get tested for aids.
The novel I have read was The It Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar. I enjoyed this story. It has earned a place on the New York Times Bestseller list. It's about the lives of various wealthy college students, and the personal problems with friends and teachers that they go through. The characters are all very different in their actions.
The novel I finished recently is called Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements. I enjoyed this because allowed you to look in life in a new perspective of how it would be if you were invisable. In this novel, a boy disappears one morning and faces challenges that keeps you reading. This is a good choice for someone who likes mystery.
The most recent novel I have read was Getting the Boot by Peggy Strauss. I have never read a book by this author but I liked this book. It was very interesting. It was easy to read and I read it in only a couple of days. It is about a group of kids that go on a school trip to Italy. One girl doesn't take the trip very seriously and partys all the time and breaks her curfew almost every night. -31
The book i recently read was "USEFUL FOOL"S. This was very interesting becausea kid named Alonso he jois the comunist party during the Peruvian revolution. He join his mothers killers because the communist blamed it on the goverment. Alonso is been used.His mothers change and his dad sudden change to drinking and beating him drive him to do this.During this book i learned mreo thna the book my dad told me store is about what really happened during that time.This book taught how to appreciate family # 311
The book i read was The Godfather By Mario Puzo. It was an extravagant book that was so serious and dark. It was truly a twisted book that i think anyone would enjoy.

The book I just finished was The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. It was a very good and interesting book but at sometimes very confusing. But overall a very good book and is easy to read
I finished reading Heir Apparent and it was a really good book. It was interesting and unpredictable. I had a hard time putting down the book. Its about a young girl who gets stuck in a video game. I would recommend it to anyone.
I recently just finished the novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey. I enjoyed the book because of it was unpredictable and unique throughout the whole story. I recommend it for anyone interested in reading something completely different.
my last book i read was called tears of a tiger. the book was very powerful, about a boy named andrew jackson. he ends up killing one of his best friends in a tragic accident, and trys to find a way to relieve his pain and guilt.
I have recently read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It was about an ordinary girl named Bella who moved to a new one and became interested in a boy named Edward Cullen. I thought it was very interesting and once i started reading it I couldn't stop. I would reccommend it if you like books about vampires and love stories. -69.
i read the book Friday Night Lights which was also a movie that came out in 2004. This book is very similar to the movie but the book has a lot more detail in the society of Oddessa Texas. During the Permian Panthers magical season they had to deal with the social classes, money, and the pressure to win at all cost. In the movie they show the Panthers losing in the state championship to Carter but in the book it states that Carter got stripped of their state championship because the head coach played an inelligble player. I recommend this book to anyone who likes sports such as football. It's very exciting
The novel i just read recently was Who Killed My Daughter, by Lois Duncan. I thought it was well written and a good book. I would recommend the novel to anyone who has an interest in suspense and mystery novels. It is more of an investigation novel because throughout the book there are hints given to who murdered Lois' daughter. I will admit the book did get boring at times but overall it was a good novel and kept me on my feet. -623
I just reading Never Die Easy by Walter Payton. It was an autobiography. This was one of the only books i really enjoyed. Walter Payton to me is a hero, he was a guy that you just respected on and off the field. In my opinion and many other football fans he was the greatest running back that ever played the game. He was described as a mans man, he was a family man, and even when he was dying not once did he complain Walter Payton truly is a hero.
I recently read a book called Go Ask Alice, it was very good and it made you want to keep going on . It was about a girl who had started drugs when she went away to her grandparent's house for summer and got mixed up with the wrong crowd and wrong drugs. Soon after she was hooked, and doing things she couldnt even remember. i highly reccomend this book to anyone who likes to be kept in suspense.
