MILA 2.0

So, this week I read MILA 2.0 by Debra Driza. This was one of the types of books that I like the best, it's sci-fi/action/futuristic. And it was really good, not surprisingly. It is about a normal girl who doesn't remember much about her past. Then she discovers that she is not who she thinks she is. She has to go in the run/into hiding to try and avoid the two groups which are trying to capture her alive in order to use her powers to their advantange. It's really entertaining and futuristicey, with a lot of cool technology and epic-sounding flips:). The main character is likable and for me was connectable. It was not hard or easy to read; most of it is that it's just really long to read in one week (it's like 550 pages). It does make up for  it in the fact that it's so entertaining that you will probably read it in a few hours and not be able to put it down, if you're anything like me. What, true fact:). Overall, this was a really good book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes sci-fi/futuristic stuff/artificial intelligence type books/even people who like fantasy.
Next Week's Book: Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card(sequel to ender's Game) (probably)

A Mango Shaped Space (book response week 2)

This week I read A Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass. This was a book about a 13 year old girl that sees colors when she hears sound. She thinks that this is normal, and when she realizes it isn't, and tells somebody, they make fun of her and don't believe her. For the next five years, until the book takes place, she doesn't tell anybody. Everyone slowly forgets the first time she told them, and blames it on her imagination. The main plotline of the book is about what happens when she finally tells somebody her secret, but there are lots of alternate stories weaved into it. It is about her everyday life, but is actually quite fast- paced and interesting. It is not too hard to read at all. I'm not sure what genre I would call it; it's kind of a mix of a couple. One thing it definitely is not is sci-fi or adventure, so I was surprised that I liked it. I would recommend this book to almost anybody. Even though the main character is a girl, boys should like it too. Overall, this book was awesome!!!

1st Book Review

HI!!!
This week I read Daniel X by James Patterson. I read this book because I have heard of it before, I like the author, and it was recommended by somebody (I don't even remember who now). This book is about a boy named (guess what) Daniel X whos life is dedicated to hunting aliens misfits that are trying to take over the world and more worlds as well as ours. The book is pretty entertaining with not really one dull moment, which is probably just as well:). You really do feel bad for Daniel though, because he's an orphan, etc., etc. I thought that there was not really an interesting plotline, lets face it, or an especially important one. Just my opinion. It did make up for that though in surprises and action. This book had lots of surprises; you will keep wanting to read a little bit more over and over and over again. I Would call this book a fantasy-sci-fi-adventure book. Itis not especially too hard to read.  I think the person who would like this book the most is someone who likes futuristic fantasy/adventure books. Overall, this was a pretty good book this was fun too read!
