Cover Image

Comments:
You Don't Know Me must be an act of Genius. The reader really have to pay attention to understand the point of view. This story is based on John. John is in the high school band and is just trying to get by. With his Dad gone, John's mom has a new boyfriend. John refers to him as 'the man who is not my father.' John's mom's boyfriend abuses John. He believes his mother wouldn't choose him if she had to choose between John and her boyfriend. This is a suspenseful book about how John gets through high school and realizes his mother's true love. It is a great book for anyone who wants to read.

Comments:
The Book Thief is a great and a different kind of book. It is written in Death's perspective about Liesel Meminger. Lisel lives in Germany during the rein of Hitler. Her family is very poor, so her brother and Liesel were put up for adoption. When Liesel's brother dies on the way to their adopted parents, she stumbles upon a book. This will be her first act of thievery. Little does she know, she will have to help her new family keep a Jew hidden from the Nazi's soilders. The Book Thief is a great book for anyone who likes a little slice of history and a great story.

The Perfect Shot

Comments:
The Perfect Shot, to say the least, is phenomenal. It isn't a book that starts off slow and gradually builds up but the reader starts reading and is instantly in the action. Elaine Marie Alphin has a way of captivating the audience through her words. I felt that I was along side of Brian helping him solve this mystery. The story just feels so real and is also rather easy to relate to. I love this book! I strongly advise anyone to read this book. Once the reader picks it up...the he/she will never put it down. - Brittney K

Comments:
I have read many books, but Sight is one of my favorites. I am not a scary mystery book reader, but this book share takes the cake. This book is a real adventurous book that sends chills down your spine. The reader will go through what Dylan sees and see is trying to stop the Drifter. At the same time, she has to protect her friend Philar and tries to maintain her social life. I would recommend this book for anyone and I promise the reader will not be disappointed. - Ashley Choi

City of Bones

City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments Series #1) by Cassandra Clare: Book Cover

Comments:
City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare, is a truly unique and captivating book. This book has many different elements, from supernatural to romance and with enough mystery to keep the reader guessing until the very end. Some turns that this novel takes are easily predictable, but there are plenty of other unexpected twists that keep the readers on their toes until the very end. I found that this was one of those books that I didn't want to put down until I finished. I highly recommend this book, and I think anyone who picks this book up will find it intriguing, if not a great read. - Nicole B
