Week Four Book



              This week I read Forgive me Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick. This is very intense and depressing book, and I actually do not recommend this book for many people in our class. It talks about very mature subjects and there seems to be at least four bad words (real bad words) per page. Despite the heavy topics, it is actually a very well-written and interesting book. It is an easy reading level for it is in the mind of a seven-teen year old that talks mostly the same as kids these days, and I found I could not put the book down.
          Next week I will read Eleanore and Park.

Week Three Book Reading

See You at Harry's, By Jo Knowles

              I cant really explain what kind of genera this book is, but it is basically drama. It is 320 pages long, and most people can read it fairly easily because though it is not a adventure book, I found that I could not put it down. like everyone else who has read it- it made me cry. It is about a girl named Fern in a small town who feels that no one notices her, and her dad is always trying to get more business for their family-owned ice cream store. I loved this book and I'm sure almost everyone that reads it will like it. the writing style is very captivating, I've also always liked books that make you feel emotion (Of Mice and Men, The Clockwork Three) and this book makes you feel so much it's heartbreaking.
        
             This Week I will read Forgive me Leonard Peacock.

Reading for the Week of Sept. 3-Sept. 8

"Ender's Game" by Oresen Scott Card
               This book is about a boy named Ender in the far future on an earth that has been attacked by aliens (a.k.a. Buggers). The military is taking children from earth when they are around six to a battle school in space where they are trained to become commanders readying for the next attack. Ender of course gets taken up and the book explores what happens in the school. It is a science fiction book that is very intriguing and interesting. It is not an extremely easy read, and at 388 pages it could be considered a two-week book.
