Teen Summer Reading Review

Ashes is a wonderful Sci-Fi book filled with dark twists and turns. In it, the main character, Alex, has to brave her way through many challenges she would never have thought she would ever face. Such as controlling a bratty young girl (Ellie) while also trying to keep her safe, and avoiding man eating "monsters" in the woods...

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys survival stories or sci-fi stories or both. However, if you do not like gory-murdery-gross stuff then you may not want to read this. But you could alway start and see if you like it before deeming it not fit to read. (Warning, if you listen to it on book-on-tape Ellie's voice is just as annoying as her character...)

  

I feel like I should wright more but I don't know what to say...

Teen Summer Reading review

I chose to write about the book "Maximum Ride;  The Angel Experiment." By James Patterson. I also thought that this could tie in as my favorite author because James Patterson is indeed one of my favorite writers. I personally really enjoyed this book for it's humor, and good will to stick together when times get tough. James Patterson does a wonderful job connecting bits and pieces throughout the story to make the details thorough and suspenseful. SPOILER ALERT!!!! 

  

My favorite part of the story was when Max's voice told the pack to go through the sewers which led them to the Institute where they found more of their own people, or as some may say, creatures. I would recommend this story to anyone who enjoys fast paced adventure and a side of humor to make the story an enjoyable piece.

Riders of the Apocalypse Series by Jackie Morse Kessler

“Thou art the Black Rider. Go thee out unto the world.”   Lisabeth Lewis has a black steed, a set of scales, and a new job: she’s been appointed Famine. How will an anorexic seventeen-year-old girl from the suburbs fare as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

Traveling the world on her steed gives Lisa freedom from her troubles at home: her constant battle with hunger, and her struggle to hide it from the people who care about her. But being Famine forces her to go places where hunger is a painful part of everyday life, and to face the horrifying effects of her phenomenal power. Can Lisa find a way to harness that power — and the courage to battle her own inner demons?

Missy didn’t mean to cut so deep. But after the party where she was humiliated in front of practically everyone in school, who could blame her for wanting some comfort? Sure, most people don’t find comfort in the touch of a razor blade, but Missy always was . . . different. That’s why she was chosen to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War. Now Missy wields a new kind of blade—a big, brutal sword that can cut down anyone and anything in her path. But it’s with this weapon in her hand that Missy learns something that could help her triumph over her own pain: control. A unique approach to the topic of self-mutilation, Rage is the story of a young woman who discovers her own power and refuses to be defeated by the world.
