The Lord of the Rings

Book Review

By: James Prater

The book that I read was the Lord of the Rings made by J.R.R Tolken and in my opinion it was a very good book. This book is about a Hobbit named Frodo Bagins and he has a job to do in the book and it is to destroy the evil ring that was handed to Frodo from a wizard named Gandalf. While he is on this adventure he meets up with other fellows named Gimly he is a dwarfe, Legales and he is a elf and a human named Arogon and he is a King. He also travels with his Hobbit friends and most of the time in the book it is talking about how Frodo and Sam Frodos friend are trying to get to the Volcano were the ring was made. That is the only place it can be destroyed because the ring is indestructible. While Frodo is trying to get to the Valcano ther are these Riders named Black Riders and they want the ring so they try to kill Frodo and anyone who stands in there way of the ring.

The thing I liked the most about this book was the end when Gandalf was fighting a creature named Balrog and Balrog is this huge demon like creature that has a whip. And when they were Fighting Gandalf Yells out “You shall not pass” and smashes his staff on the ground which lead to the ground breaking. Balrog fell in and when he was falling he used his whip and wrapped it around Gandalfs leg and brought him down with him. Now everyone thinks Gandalf is dead and they are very sad about this.
I recommend this book to people who like books that take place a long time ago and who ever likes medieval stuff like swords and bows and creatures like Orcs and Balrog. The age should be 13 and above because there are some parts that are gross and not appropriate for children. I rate this book a 4/4 stars because I liked the book a lot and can't wait to read the next books. You should read this book because its a very awesome book and if you like these kinds of books then you will love this one. And if you like fiction books then you should like this because it has a lot of Fantasy parts like Orcs and wizards and Hobbits.

Freak The Mighty

Freak the Mighty

By: Rodman Philbrick

Eric Morel

The book is about this kid named Max.  His body was growing faster than his mind, then a kid named Freak sees him flying a toy in the hard an they become best friends.  They go on lots of adventures together.  One of the big parts of this is when Max goes to find Freak when he got kid napped from his dad.

I liked how the kids became best friends and at first they thought that each other were really weird.  But slowly they started to really enjoy each others company.  Later in the book some of the adventures that happened were 1 Max gave Freak a book to write in for the adventures they go on.  2 Freak puts max on his shoulders so max could play basketball.

I would rate this book a 3.  I just wished it explained more at the end when he max died.  This book was really good other wise because it was very interesting and it kept me occupied.  I recommend this to anyone it is a really good book.  It is also fun to learn about what they do and how friendship can grow, and mostly how you cant judge a person by how they look.

Hunger Games

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 Uglies by Scott Westerfield

Emily Tobin

         The book that I read was Uglies by Scott Westerfield. The main character Tally lives in a world with separate places. One is Uglyville and the other is New Pretty Town. Tally lived in Uglyville at first but then she gets an operation into a pretty. She meets up a new friend named Shay. All of Tally's old friends became pretty. Shay isn't quite positive if she wants to enter New Pretty Town.They both have a dilemma weather to be pretty or stay ugly.
           The part I liked in the book was when Tally sneaked into New Pretty Town with a mask looking like a pig so no one knew who she was. She wanted to see her old friend Peris. The part I didn't like in the book was when Tally and her friend Shay went to some forbidden place called "The Ruins" to meet Shay's friend David but he never showed up.
            I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read fiction books. I would say 12-14 year old's would enjoy reading this. I rate this book a 3 out of 4 because there were some interesting parts and some were not really as interesting.         

Book Review#1 Chris Landry

I am reading the book Hatchet by Gary Paulson. Genre is either adventure or suspense. The story is about a boy named Brian Robeson who gets into a plane and while in the air the pilot has a violent heart attack. Brian strears it into a lake and it stuck him in the middle of a Canadian wilderness with no one with him and nothing to use to survive. He has to use only what he can find to survive.

This book kept me interested because of the way the author describes the situations and the way Brian handles them. My favorite part of the book was when he the pilot has the heart attack and Brian is panicing on what to do and how to land the plane without getting killed. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading suspencful books and younger kids might not truly understand whats going on. Also people who like wildlife becasue he deals with alot of animals and forest. I rate this book 4 stars because I was able to read it and stay interested and actually painted a vivid picture what was going on.

It is definitly a great book to read!
