| The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
I really enjoyed this 'dog'-narrated book; in fact, I interrupted another dog story (THE STORY OF EDGAR SAWTELLE) to read it. I particularly loved the parts when Enzo was most being a dog and enjoying 'racing in the rain'.

| What My Girfriend Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones |
| Rating: 3 Stars |
It was a pretty good book. I like how all of Sonya Sones's books are laid out like poems. It makes them a lot easier to read. This book is more for guys because it's from a guy's point of view and talks about things that we all know guys are thinking about in there minds, lol. Anyway, overall, I liked it.

In this coming-of-age tale, the author eloquently tales the tale of his journey through life. The book is throughly enrapturing and really grabs the reader's attention.

This book is actually an adult book but there's nothing bad in it and a teen will enjoy it. It's about a women who is a fomous author of self help books for single women. but when pictures of her and a handsome new actor show up in magazines her credability is questioned, but she's not going down unless the actor goes down with her. Great book for anyone who likes romantic comedies. A really fun and sweet book

I am half-way through this book that has been on my to-read list for years. I was afraid it wouldn't live up to all the praise I've heard over the years, but thankfully the book fully lives up to the hype; it's easy to see how it has become a cult classic over the years.
Some books pull you in with great use of language or a compelling plot; while "Geek Love" is certainly not lacking in these qualities, I would say its greatest strength lies in some damn fine storytelling.

When Gwen was 10 years old she went sleep walking down to the beach where she met a strange boy with dark slightly tilted eyes he came to her, whispered stange words in her ear, and then disappeared into the sea. Shortly after that Gwen and her family moved. Now 7 years later Gwen has returned her nana asked her to come stay for the summer. But Gwen knows there's another reason why she came, she yearns for the Sea. Perhaps the sea itself is calling her. Perhaps the memory of the boy and his haunting words are drawing her back.

This is an AMAZING book I love it! It mixes Celtic legands into the present day. It's well written and very entertaining, one you'll read again and again, I know I have. You will fall in love with Jesse and never want the book to end. It's just a really good "clean" book. ages 13 and up

| My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
The reason for my choosing of this book was only because of the fact that it was made into a movie. I believe that every book made into a movie should be amazing, but I'm often disappointed. This book however, didn't disappoint me at all. It was very deep and touching and made me cry and feel everything going on in the book. The author alternates points of view, which I think is great because the reader gets to know each character's thoughts. MY SISTER'S KEEPER is about Kate, a girl with leukemia who doesn't have a matched donor, and also her sister Anna, who was conceived to become a donor for Kate. All her life, Anna has had to go to the hospital to get blood drawn for Kate, get her bone marrow taken out for Kate, and now her parents ask her to donate one of kidneys for Kate. It is known that this kidney will not make Kate healthy again, but only give her maybe a few more years to live until one of her other organs fail her. Anna was never asked by her parents if she wanted to donate anything. She loves her sister, but she also wants to be free of all of this pressure and pain. This results in Anna finding herself a lawyer and suing her parents for the rights of her own body and its parts. The family must go through this together, but also seperately. It is a rough time for them all, but also a time when they gain understanding for each other and realize how much they need each other. I highly recommend this book to teenagers to adults. I'm confident that every reader will love this book as I did.

| Rating: 4 Stars |
Kurt Schreiber is a Canadian high school student who came to Germany to study for a year. Along the way he hopes to find out more of his family history, particularly about his grandfather who participated in World War II. But the truth is sometimes hard to hear. Kurt is a believable high school student with a voice that is strong and distinctive. As he delves back into the past, the author presents real life historical events and makes them jump off the page for the reader. Anyone can read about the battles during the war, but Ms. Bass makes it seem as if you were there, which brings home the point. The book also explores the feelings felt by those who are descended from people who fought these wars over fifty years ago. The central question that Kurt finds himself wondering is, what makes a man a monster? I thoroughly enjoyed this book for presenting these issues in all their shades of gray.

This book is really good. Just like all the other books Kate Brian has written in her Private and Privelege series this one is good. I would recommend this to anyone who is caught up with the series.

| Rebel Angels by Libba Bray |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book is the second book in the trilogy. It is amazing because it has twist and turns I would have never seen coming. I could not put this book down. The first book was good too but this one was the best in my opinion. I am about to start the third one. I hope for the best =D.

This book was nothing like I thought it would be, but still one of the best I've read all summer. It's full of twists that I would've never anticipated. It starts out a bit slow though.

| The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
With a title like that, how could it not be entertaining? Terry Pratchett is a marvelous writer, and this book, while aimed towards younger readers than most of his books, is a fair representation of his work. The plot is clever, the characters are fun, and the book is quite funny. Read it.

| Princess Lessons by Meg Cabot |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
Its hard to rate this book, because its certainly more of a manual then actual reading material. However, I would have to say that most of the information inside is very, very relevant to a teenager's life, even if some of it - course lists for future princesses, for example - are not. The narrative voices are interesting for the most part, and Princess Mia's comments tend to be interesting and shed a nice light on certain subjects, bringing them closer to those of use who do not necessarily have to worry about seating Communists with Anarchists.

Im only on the 3rd chapter and I cant put it down because it's so awesome. The author provides so much detail about the main characters, and it's like the books invites you in, and you cant put it down.

| Boy Toy by Barry Lyga |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
AMAZING. This book was incredible. Barry writes about a young boy named Josh, who had...an inappropriate relationship with his history teacher, Eve, who tricked him into believing it was love. Flashing to the present, Josh, in his senior year, hears about Eve's parole, and it brings back all the memories from 7th grade year, where we get the full story from the source.

| Great Expectations by Charles Dickens |
| Rating: 3 Stars |
I have a "classics" list that I want to finish before I graduate and this was among the 83 books on it. For a classic, it's actual not too bad, though the sheer length of it makes the writing style seem more unentertaining.

| Troy by Adele Geras |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This is a retelling of THE ILIAD of Homer in a novel form. If you are studying THE ILIAD in school (as I am) it really helps to read this book because it offers the same story from a different perspective. For instance, you get to hear for Xanthe, who is Lady Andromanche's maid and Astyanax's nanny (not sure if that's the right word). You also get the viewpoint of Hektor and other Trojans. There aren't many battle scenes, mostly the characters talk about the battle but, not in the droning tone of Homer. All in all, it is a really good read.

This story was very weird but quite entertaining. It is a new way to look at death and heaven and you could quite possibly end up not being so scared of death. This book also includes love, loss, and happy beginnings.

| My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book is great ! It actually made me cry at the end. The way the author detailed the plot from each characters point of view was genius. Especially at the end, where Anna's point of view finishes and her fathers takes over, and describes the accident; he is called upon to attend, which in fact its his own daughter who is the victim. It added a great suppense ! Not to mention how its Anna who actually dies at the end & saves her sister's life . That book was wonderful from begining to end.

However, things soon turn a little bit wilder than she imagined as she is thrust into a world of pixies and werewolves. You'll love it! I know I did.

I recommend this books to all romance lovers!!

| Revealers by Amanda Marrone |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
I'm a fan of sci-fi and fantasy books with a hint of reality, and this book fits that description so I really like it. It's about a group of girls who are witches/revealers who are powerful in a lot of ways yet are still teenagers so they struggle with a big secret that is to be revealed when they turn 18 and are inducted to their coven's inner circle, where the secrets and the life they thought they knew is turned upside down.

THE SWEET FAR THING is the final book in the Gemma Doyle trilogy. I don't often re-read books, but this is one of my favorites. Mystery, suspense, romance, magic, the lot of it, and an oh-so-frequent metaphor: the corset.

This book was good, and I liked how the original sisterhood was tied into it. But, I didn't think it was a very sisterhood type book like the other four and that was more of what I was expecting. I enjoyed it though and would reccomend it if you liked the sisterhood.

Hayley is smart and witty and has such a pretty . . . face. These words are used to hide that fact that Hayley has a body image problem, but a summer trip to Italy, helps Hayley change the vision of herself. She's curvy, not fat. Pizza isn't evil. And life is so much more than one-size-fits-all. Gotta love this book !
