Breaking

Breaking Dawn

I started reading Breaking Dawn this week, as you know a lot of people in our grade love all of the twilight books and movies.  I have seen the movies and liked them.  The book is confusing at first; it jumps right into the story, which is good in some cases.  To me I didn’t really understand.  Even though I had seen the movies I had to ask a few twilight experts the details.  It is in Bella’s point of view and this also confused me because I didn’t know who was talking sometimes. I have not read far into the book, it is very long and I like it.  A few people especially, Norma, Leigh, and Maeve recommended this book to me.  They are big fans of the twilight books.  So far I like it because it is very intense and descriptive.  Even though I have not read the first two books of the series I would like to because it would explain more about Breaking Dawn.  As you probably know it is about vampires and werewolves, and the hate between them.  Edward, a vampire, and Jacob, a werewolf, both love a girl named Bella.  This causes conflicts between them.  I also recommend the movies.  They are action packed and have a mix of many other genres.  I think the movies and books are a little different because the books are from a point of view of one person and movies are not.  Please read this book even if you’re a guy.

Hunger Games (reread)

This past reading class, I did not have a book to read.  So at the last minute I asked Charlie if I could borrow The Hunger Games because he was reading the scuba diving book.  I had already read the book and the other two books in the series and they are my favorite.  I love the action, the drama, and the description in the characters.  My favorite part, which I reread the other day, is the beginning of the actual games in the first book.  When she is standing on the metal platform her thoughts are described so well, I feel like I am there with her thinking the same things, about Peeta, Prim, the capitol, her first step.  It gets more intense as the story goes on.  For example; the second morning she is strapped in bed and she hears footsteps.  It is a pack of “Careers” including Peeta, she is still and cannot move a muscle.  People get killed and there are chase scenes that describe the scene like I am watching a movie.  I found out about this book from Owen Marks, he said it has great action, and great descriptions, and he loved it.  I read it and couldn’t put it down.  I then recommended it too my Dad, my Brother, and so many others that loved it.  If you haven’t read it I highly recommend it.  There are also two other books in the series Catching Fire and Mogingjay.  They are my favorite books ever.
