The police come and it’s this huge deal, and they are trying to save each other. This was a pretty good book overall, just very sad. It was suspenseful to see what was going to happen next, I just didn’t like it all that much because I tend to not enjoy depressing books. I would recommend it to others who are feeling the need to read a sad book….or anyone who likes sad books.

I saw someone else reading it and they said it was a good book. It is about a family who is very poor and is always moving around. They live in about ten different houses, and it is all about their adventures. Eventually the kids end up successful and the parents homeless. I would recommend it to any teen!

It was really depressing since it about this girl who has a friend with cancer and she wants them to wake up but they never do. SHe visits the hospital every day and tries every possible thing to get her to wake up (she is in a coma). Very depressing.

It was about a kid who lived with his father who lies to him about his mother being dead. A dog is stabbed and killed with a garden fork and this kid wants to figure out who did it. Eventually he runs away to London to live with his mother after he discovers his father has hid letters from his mom from him. This is a good mystery/suspense.

It was about how a kid wanted every pet possible but all of them ran away from her. She finally found a dog and fell in love with it, trained it and everything, but the owner showed up and took her back. It was a quick read, so if you are looking for something quick and simple, this is for you. It is also a graphic novel.

It was about how people were being conditioned to behave certain ways- little kids. It was kind of strange also, so if you like strange books you should read it.

It is one of my favorite books ever!!!!! I recommend it to anyone who is about 14 or older. It is probably hard for younger ppl to understand. I had to read it for school, but I had already read it. I found out about it from a friend and it was totally amazing! It is about a futuristic world how everything is a complete tyrannical government. It is very interesting…the ending can be hard to read…it is a very emotional book. I suggest it to everyone. Outstanding!

It was about a girl that got breast cancer, and her friends wanted to raise money for her through a triathlon. This book kind of drags on, doesn’t have much of a plot, and doesn’t have enough going on. I would not recommend it to others to read.

My friends told me that if I were to read only some of the Harry Potter books, I should read the 6th and the 7th. This book was definitely worth reading. It was really long, but I enjoyed it! I read it before bed and stayed up late reading it. It never failed to keep my attention.

It was so good!!!!! The plot was great, and it was so suspenseful. It kept me hooked because I wanted to find out if Harry would ever defeat Voldemort. I held off from reading Harry Potter for a while, but after so many people told me how good they were, I decided to read some. I just finished this book in about two days. I highly recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed the movies or read any of the other books. It was my favorite book that I have read in a while.
