The Big Empty Paradise City



This book was written by J.B. Stephens. This book's genre is Sci-Fi. I chose this book because I read the first book, The Big Empty Strain 7, and LOVED it!

Keely wanted to have a perfect world again, but the world was suffering from the ill effects of Strain 7, or just 'SEVEN', so she helped Novo Mundum [which when translated means "New World"] by getting supplies. Those supplies were: GPS chips, gasoline, and other things that I can't remember.

Two things that I REALLY liked about the book were the avtion and the suspense. Twoi things that I DID NOT like about the book was all the violence and death. I read this book because it was the second book to the Strain Seven series. I would recomeend this book to my friends. This book is suitable for 12+ year olds.

THE WARRIOR HEIR

        The Warrior Heir was written by Cinda Williams Chima.  This book is action-packed and filled with excitement.  I chose this book because I have read others by this author.
        In the world of the Weir you can be either a wizard, a warrior, a sorcerer, or an enchanter.  Jack, at 16, has just found out he is a warrior. Being a warrior is very though for him because warriors are very rare and they compete in tournaments( fights to the death) held by the wizards, the most powerful of the weir.  He is being hunted down to compete in a tournament against his girlfriend...but he doesn't know it yet.
        Two things I liked about this book were that it has lots of fighting and that it had a present day setting.  This book is appropriate for people ages 12+.  This book would be liked by people who like fantasy books.

Fruit Basket Volume 1

             Recently I read a book called Fruit Basket.  This book was by Natsuki Takaya and I loved it.
               This book was mainly about a girl named Torhu who meets the Sohmas.  The Sohmas are magical people who are posessed by the spirits of the
Zodiacs who are different animals.  They will transform when they are hugged by the opposite sex.  Torhu is an orphan whose mother had died when she was a little girl.  She was living in a tent until she met the Sohmas who generously offered her to live with them if she was basically a maid.  She accepts and she becomes closer with Yuki the person who invited her to stay in the first place.  Torhu finds out their secret and is very eager to ask who the other animals are.  That is where the book ends.
                 Three things I liked about this bookk was it was a short read and it was funny. Also that the pictures were great.  I did not dislike anything about this book. I would say the reading level for this book would be 11+.  I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes anime. :)

'Eona' The Sequel to 'Eon'

           The book that I have read is "Eona." This book was written by: Alison Goodman who lives in Australia. The genre of the book is Fantasy, Battle, a bit of Romance, and Mythology and Chinese customs; it also talks about Dragons, war, magical abilities, and much, much more.

Eona The Last Dragoneye by: Alison Goodman
The Sequel to ''Eon' Dragoneye Reborn'
           Eona wanted to save the Dragons, but she doesn't know how, so she has Lady Dela, a contraire, translate the Woman Script inside for her. Lord Ido wants all of the Dragon power for himself, but Lady Eona won't let him, so he fights her and plays games to try to get it. Lady Dela wants to make Ryko happy, but he lives by his own rules, so she tries even harder to help him. Prince Kygo wants the best for his kingdom and wants Eona's body to belong to him, but he has to save the kingdom and dragons to impress her, so he joins the resistance to help get rid of High Lord Sethon.

           Two things that I liked about the book were the suspense [MAJOR!] and the action in battle and Eona training with the dragons. Two things i didn't like are that there was so much killing and a little to much LOVE! [YUCK!] I think that the appropriate reading level for this book is 13/14+. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. The people that like graphic novels would like this because it has so much descriptive language.

The Cage!

The Cage by Ruth Minsky Sender is a novel about the Jewish who survive against the Germans. Riva Minska, the main character, loses her family and lives with nothing more than a book for her poetry.
Riva has lived through think and thin. She was locked up in a cage for almost three years of her life. She was a special Jew, that guards loved her poetry and her strength. One day everything happened so fast and she was saved.
The book has an unexpected ending so everyone should read it. I liked this book because it interested me and it had short three page paragraphs. I loved this book and I hope who ever reads it does too.

Maximum Ride Volume 2

Recently I read a book called Maximum Ride Volume 2.  I read this book because I thought the first book in the sereies was awesome.  This book was overall great.
                                                       This bok was mainly about a girl named Maximum who is hiding out from people who are trying to capture her.  She has just gotten her sister Angel back and is hiding out in a cave becuase there are people trying to attack her and her family to take her back to a lab where they can conduct expeirments on them.  She and her family end up going out to eat at a fancy restruant.  They end up ordering alot of food and getting caught by the waiter for trying to steal.  They end up flying out of the restruant and getting tons of pistures taken of them.  They then go back to the cave and get attacked so they go to a hospital.  At the hospital they meet a woman who offers to keep them in her house.  She then finds out what they are.  She finds a chip is Maxes arm that shows where she is at all times.  She wants it out but the lady refuses. That is where the book ends.
                                                        Three things I like about this book was it was a short read and the pictures were really descriptave.  I also liked that it was funny and suspenseful.  Three things I did not like about this book was that it was agrivating at how some of the characters acted.  Also how it was a cliff hanger.  The readin level for this book would have tio be 11+.  I would reccomend this to anyone who likes anime or suspenseful books.

Riley then makes a bet with Bohdi that she can get The Radiant boy to come over to thte Here and Now.  Riley has a frightening trip through the house trying to find the Radant to bt she does it.  It takes some persuading but she gets the Radiant boy to cross over.  Riley won the bet and that is where the book ends.
                                                              Three things that I like about this book was it was touching and interesting.  I also like that it weas sweet. I did not dislike anything about this book. The reading level of this book would have to be a 10 to 12 age range.  This book would be reccomended to anyone who likes suspense and after life stories.
