I read The Hunger Games and I liked it. My favorite character was Peeta. The book ended like the next book would be better. It had action, violence, and some romance. I would recommend this book.

Years later after may has grown up,s he begins to learn truths about her life that have been kept hidden from her. She learns that the people who she had thought were her mother and father are not, she learns that the reason she feels so different is because she’s actually mermaid, she finds that she has two sisters, one of which she locates, and at the end she learns to accept herself. I enjoyed this book because I love mermaids and it taught the important lesson of accepting who you are, no matter what you are.

This book was about aliens coming to Earth because their planet was destroyed by the Magadorians. They are the last hope to restoring life to their lost planet. The Magadorians come to Earth and hunt them, but due to a charm they can only hunt them in the order they were numbered. A boy who has recently changed his name to John Smith and moved to Ohio is next in line, he is number four. I enjoyed this book because it’s full of adventure.

This last book was…hmmm…AWESOME!!! The drama, the action, the danger, it was almost too much. All the events from past books were neatly tied together and tossed about slightly in this GRAND FINALE.

I thought it was really good. I liked the storyline and all the surprises and the challenges. I also liked the ending with Voldemort and Professor Moody. This is so far my favorite Harry Potter book.

Cole Matthews has always been the person who everybody was afraid of. Now, after he has beat up Peter(who did nothing), he was thrown in jail. This time his parents won’t bail him out, so they are getting him to learn from his “mistake.” After some rehab and jail time, Cole has been accepted to Circle Justice. Circle Justice is a system in which it sorta replaces being in jail. It ”repays” the victim with replacing what was lost. In Cole’s case, Peter’s injuries are not repairable. The only problem, Cole doesn’t feel sorry for what he did. Instead, he feels that Peter should be the one punished. As for his punishment, Cole gets sent to an abandoned Alaskan island for a year. There are rumors of a Spirit Bear lurking in the area, but Cole thinks it’s a piece of junk. But then, Cole sees the bear.
