My fav book isn't even a good book. It's not spectacular writing or plot, it just has amazing characters that I absolutly adore. It's vampire academy by Richelle mead, and it's about rose and her best friend lissa trying to survive school with new complications and some unknown danger stalking them.
My other fav book is The Only Alien On the Planet. It's about a girl who moves to new England and meets this new boy. He has never said a word. Everyone calls him the alien because he is brilliant, but never talks or looks at anyone. This book delves into the lives of families with kids with disabilties, even through theirs doesn't, and it shows that sometimes your mind is your worst enemy.

My favorite book is Spanking Shakespeare by jake Wizner because it is a book that actually makes you laugh out loud. When i read comedy books I usually think they are funny but not that I have to laugh out loud but when I read Spanking Shakespeare it was so funny that I actually laughed out loud. Therefore this is my favorite book because it is so funny.

I don't have a favorite book because I won't finish a book unless it's good. For example, I tried to read "The Three Musketeers" during SSR and I didn't get hooked. I never finished that book simply because I didn't like it. However, when I do find a book I really like, I'll finish it in a couple of days. So, all books I read are my favorites (kinda).

My favorite book is "Perfect Chemistry" because the characters are very well developed. The story line is the typical, "good girl meats bad boy...", however Simone Elkeles makes the plot stand out from the others by developing real and raw characters. She writes in two perspectives and lets the reader into the thoughts and feelings of both of the main characters, and shows that those who try to be tough are just as, or even more vulnerable as anyone else. Also she uses a lot of emotion in her writing by describing the characters’ thoughts and feelings very well instead of just saying what they are thinking. Therefore, the fact that she lets the reader into the thoughts of both main characters and makes them seem very real, raw, and vulnerable behind their "masks" makes "Perfect Chemistry" brilliant and very relatable.

The best book I have read is Double Identity. I liked this book because it was full of action and always made you question what was gonna happen next . At one part of the book the main character got a note from here dad saying that he was being chased. This made me wonder why he was being chased and why he didn't tell his daughter this earlier. Also later in the story there is a mysterious man chasing the girl and she thinks its the same guy that is/was chasing her dad. Therefore, suspence and action made me fall in love with this book. I recommend it!:)

My favorite book that i have ever red is, Blood on my Hands by Todd Strasser because it kept you thinking throughout the book and had a lot of suspense. It is about a teenager being murdered and the main character is framed so everybody thinks it was her. The book is about the main character trying to find out who killed the girl. Therefore, the suspense and mystery makes this the best book i have ever read. I would recommend it to anyone.

My favorite book i have read is Carter Finally gets it because it was really funny just like Jeff's book. It makes you laugh at least once every 3 pages. Also it could teach a lesson to kids in high school becasue that is what the book is about. Therefore that is why this is my favorite book.

Joey said...

My favorite book is Unwind. This is my favorite book because it’s easy to get into in. In the book teenagers are able to be used as a limb donor if their parents sign a slip. There life will end so Conner, Lev, and Risa team up to try to survive with out getting caught. Will reading the book you don’t know what happens next. Unwind is my favorite book because its exciting and its easy to get into.

My favorite book was The Davinci Code. This book is my all time favorite because it had a great subject that i enjoy reading about which is ancient architecture and ancient culture. This book is basically a race through italy, france and even switzerland. Throughout the book the main charactor Robert, visits such places as the basilica, the louvre and Thge vatican. Therefore the books ancient and monumental setting made me really enjoy this book.

My favorite book is the eternal ones by Kirsten Miller because it kept me hooked throughout the book. The main character, Haven, has to figure out why she keeps having visions when something sparks her memory and she has to figure out who she was and who everyone else was. Haven must figure out who to trust and which story is the truth. Therefore, the eternal ones is a thrilling book filled with mystery and adventure. I highly recommend reading this book.

My favorite book is an always will be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows because it is just an amazing book! They characters are so well developed and when you pick it up and start reading it you feel like you are in the Harry Potter world and you do not want to put it down. Some people might think that Harry Potter is stupid and a pointless read but the people that have said that have never ever read the series. I highly recommend that you go out and get #1 (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) because in order to appreciate this last book you MUST read the others!

My favorite book would have to be The Lovley Bones. This is my favorite book because it's about a girl that is a teenager and made the wrong decision to talk to a stranger. This book teaches you a big lesson, not to talk to strangers, because something bad will happen if you talk to strangers. Also, the author makes all the events in this story so decriptive so that I can picture it in my head. I like that the story is nothing like the movie and how they made it different, but in a good way. Therefore I think teens, males or females, should read this book to learn a lesson so you won't ever do it.

My favorite series are the Artemis Fowl books because they make me laugh and learn about fake technology. I love laughing so when Eoin Colfer makes a character say something funny or insult another character I will laugh and a smile will form on my face. I generally like technology. The Artemis Fowl books are scifi so they have lots of technology. The technology in the books is my favorite type, technology with the environment in mind. I like the environment because it is the only place for use to live so we should treat it with respect. All the things I like to read are mixed together in Eoin Colfer's Fluid writing.

My favorite book is "Payback Time" because it is exciting and action packed. This book is full of adventure because the main character is traveling all over the state following Angel. Angel is mysterious and no one knows where he came from and the main character wants to find out about his past. It is action packed because of the constant action on the football field and off. This is my favorite because of the action and adventure.

My favorite book THAT I HAVE READ THIS YEAR.. has to be Fallen, part of th series by Lauren Kate. Fallen is a book i adore because the main character is easy to connect to and thinks and does things a teenage girl (under special circumstances) would do. The feelings she has for the other characters makes you relate you some of your best friends, or enemies. Most people think Fallen has no plot and is very dry, but you have to be someone who is patient and can really feel and adore for the characters. A favorite book is a book your truely sad when it comes to an end, and thats how i felt.

My favorite book is Beat The Band. It is my favorite because it is funny and the things that happen in it are believable for people are age. I would also recommend it to anyone who needs a good laugh once in a while.

My favorite book is 13 reasons why because of the real life situation (suicide) which is the main topic throughout the whole book. I just heard about a girl taking her life and it makes me really sad to know that this is an actual problem in our world. Another reason why I really loved this book was because of the characters that the author described so well. Over all I would recommend this book to anyone who is in need of a real eye opening story that really makes your look at life differently.

I really like the book "Maze Runner" because it combines fantasy and action. This is one of the two books that I actually want to reread again because it was so good. The characters are in a fictional place where you have to work so hard to stay alive, and there is so much blood and fights. There are scary made up animals that have spikes and are cow sized, and only come out at night. Therefore, this book took a lot of thought to write, because its is such a cool setting. The setting and blend of action in this book make me want to read it over. I probably will next month.

Colleen O said...

My favorite book by far is the Luxe. This book is a great book with a lot of secrets, lies and betrayals. this book really make you realize that not everyone is going to support you and do what is best for you....even the people you think would never hurt you.

My favorite book is Wake by Lisa McMann. This is my favorite book because it is very interesting to read. I know this because the whole book tells you about all these crazy dreams/nightmares. Reading about these is so interesting that you don't want to put the book down. Therefore, since this book is so interesting, it is my favorite book.

To answer my own question. My favorite book is any book in the Alex Rider series because they are extremely action-packed. In every book Alex almost dies at least 3 times, and there is always a huge crime going on that he, with other agents, need to stop. Therefore, since there are huge crimes going on and Alex almost dies at least 3 times in each book, it is my favorite book/series.

So far my favorite book is Hate List by Jennifer Brown because it talks about how school shootings and other school disasters can affect everyone, even if they had nothing to do with it. In the book, Valerie's boyfriend is the one who starts the shootings. She is then balmed for the shooting, even though she was the one who got him to stop by jumping ontop of him and saving a girl's life. Valerie has to now live with the guilt of knowing that her boyfriend was capable of doing such a thing and her not trying to stop him. Therefore, I would definatley reccomend this book because I think that it shows how things that happen in the real world affect people who aren't even involved.

My favorite book is the outsiders because I especially like the time period and the culture of the characters. It is set in the 1960's in tulsa, Oklahoma. The overall conflict is about the greasers, named after their greased back hair, versus the socs, the "socials". They are around are age, they are in high scholl, and they face serious problems, resulting in death for some. An example of this is that Dally, one of the greasers, has had many problems with the law, so he essentially kills himself by almost forcing the cops to shoot him down. Therfore, because the time period and cultural conflicts are so interesting, I foung it very hard to put down.

One of my favorite books is 'Spilled Water'. I haven't read it in awhile, but I remember how much I loved it because it was about a little girls troubles who I was able to connect with. It was not that I had the same troubles as her, but I felt for her when she was going through everything. Throughout the book, this little girl faces her dad's death, being sold by her uncle because her family doesn't have enough money, getting dumped by her new owners, then working in a factory. As a little Chinese girl, this character faces more troubles than many adults would be able to handle, but she stays strong through it all. 'Spilled Water' is a realistic fiction book , and although I usually hate realistic fict books, I loved this one because everything the little girl went through felt as if I were going through it too.

My favorite book would have to be Pretty Little Liars because it is filled with suspense and so much action.Every page you turn has a whole new thrilling event you are dying to read about. Four girls try to solve the serious case of their best friend's, Alison, death. Throughout the story, A, a stalker, continues to stalk them leaving the girls terrified. Each book in the series gets better and better every time. This relates to the real world because as the mystery grows stronger,their friendship grows weaker, and in life,your friendships can be torn by one silly mistake, or one huge problem, and you need your friends more than anything, especially if you are dealing with a murder. Therefore, I love this book because it has so much suspense and action, but it also relates to friendships with teenage girls.

julia h said...

My favorite book would have to be North of Beautiful because i can connect to it. The book is about a girl Terra who has a port wine stain and doesnt like the way she looks. She's really self conscious. I can connect to this, and many other girls, because we all try to look perfect like Terra does in the book. Therefore, this book is my favorite because i can relate to it well.

My favorite book is sweethearts by sara zarr because its about a girl who changes herself to fit in with the crowd. Throughout the book you learn secrets about her childhood.

Kim M. said...

One of my favorite books is Fallen by Lauren Kate. This book kept me hooked all the way through and I always wanted to find out what would happen. When I was reading it I thought it was predictable but almost every time I would end up being wrong. Also the characters were easy to connect with. I was upset when this book ended. Therefore this is one of my favorite books and i recommend it.

My current favorate book is dragon rider by Cornelia Funke. In the book, there was many action and advanture that kept me reading close to ink heart but fillded with more fanitcy action.

The book was about a group of dragons trying to a nother home due to the fact that humans were trying distroy their home for nothing. After their first stop in a city, a boy join them to find this myth called The Rim of Heaven. But, there is this evil creature made of pure gold scales that wants to hunt dragons to exstintion and it is someonewhat like one but greatly differnt. that made me wonder if they would find it or not and made me keep on reading.

Srichard said...

One of my favorite books is called " The Curious Case of the Dog in the Nighttime" It is about a boy with autism, going through a divorce and must figure himself out. It was depressing showing how some people can go through so much and feel virtually nothing. It was a little adult, but not too hard of a read. Overall, this was a great book.

AnnaClaire said...

My favorite book is a tie between Fallen by Lauren Kate, Hate List by Jennifer Brown, Beautiful Cratures by Kami Garcia and Troy by Adele Geras. Those are my all-time favorite books becuase they are all about love, hate and beign hit by reality and noticing that sometimes life stinks, but good things usually come out it.
