Hunger Games


Kyle Monteiro

Hunger Games
This book about a girl call Katniss and she has to fight for her life for the entertainment of others. The book called the Hunger Games it is by Suzanne collins. Katniss dad died in a explosion. Katniss also sacrifice herself for her sister not to be in the hunger games by tributing herself. Katniss had experience with a bow so she had skill to use a weapon unlike any other person in sector 12 tributes. Katniss find out Peeta loves her and she got angry and slap him. Kaniss also got betrayed from peeta join an alliance with other tributes and help them find her. My favorite part of this book is that when katniss shot an arrow at the judges when they were just ignoring her like she had no skill and then they were in shock after the arrow hit the pig. I did not like how Katniss and Peeta move to a cave and were never found. I will rate this book a 4* and I recommend this book for the age of 13 and up. There were some parts in the book that were graphic and confusing and also some parts that were some hard words and there was a really good plot. the reason why I think people should read this book is because the plot for this book is just spectacular. This book has action and weapons also death. This story also has romance and drama with a little comedy. The book does build suspense and leaves you hanging a little. This book will make you want to turn the page none stop and not stop thinking about it on what will happen next or is it true. This book will have something that anyone would like because they put a little of everything in it.

The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller is about a girl named Haven that had been reincarnated. She was living in Snope City which is located in Tennessee she hoped to move to New York when she was older though so that she could go to school and meet the boy she was destined to be with. Though along the way she struggles with weather this boy was actually the one. Finally by playing it safe in New York and by trying to avoid the paparazzi before the people from a secret society get to know to much information.
I liked the book because it left you wondering what would happen next it also made you make many predictions though out the book. everything in the end though went together in the end i didn't like that in the end they made you wait for answers to the questions that where running though your head at the time. My favorite part of the book was when Haven found that the one she loved was not actually dead.
I would recommend this book for anyone that likes a suspenseful romance story. I would also recommend this book to people in there teen age years. If i where to rate this book i would give it 3.5 stars because it was really good but the start of the book started a little slow but by the end of the book you didn't want to put the book down. This book will blow you away with it's intriguing yet suspenseful moments in the book though there is also some romance to the book.

Dear John by Nicholas Sparks


Dear John by Nicholas Sparks

by: Sydney Mountzouris

Dear John is a realistic fiction romantic novel. The main character John, a young man in the military, meets a girl named Savanna at a beach. They instantly fall in love when John retrieves her purse from the waters. Shortly after meeting, John is retreated back to the army. Even though they are apart they still keep up a steady long distance relationship. Six months later John returns but unfortunately there love is not the same. There love is put to the test and they discover true love, loyalty, and heartbreak.

I enjoyed the book very much. I was very engrossed through the entire time and at some parts I could not stop reading. The plot was very good and the book was well written. Nicholas Sparks is an excellent writer and his books are very easy to read, but at the same time sends a very good message. I was very happy with the book until around the end. I did not enjoy the ending at all. It was a very good twist to the story, but I was expecting something different. It also bothered me that over time, Savannahs character changed and did things that I think she would never do. When Savannah was introduced I liked her very much, but as the story progressed I started thinking differently of her.

My favorite part was the first week of John and Savannah meeting. I thought that everything they did was just so adorable. The reason that they met was very creative and sweet. Overall, I enjoyed reading about their relationship. I also really liked how John respected Savannah which made me like his character very much.

I would recommend this book to any female reader from young adult to senior who is interested in realistic fiction romance novels. This book is very easy to read and isn’t very hard to finish. I would rate this book three stars because it is very well written, has a good plot, and I was interested in reading the story the entire time. The reason I would give this book three stars is because there were some parts when I thought the characters did things that I did not think they would do. Also, the ending was nice but disappointing, and I expected something different. Essentially, Dear John was a very good book that really defined true love, loyalty, and heartbreak. It was easy to read and kept me interested the entire time. If you are interested in realistic fiction romance novels, you should take into consideration reading Dear John.
