I liked this novel very much because it shows how precious life is, and that drinking and driving is NEVER a good idea. The story makes me realize that with maturity, comes difficult choices, and you must always be wise. Things like this happen every day and people always think, “Oh it won’t happen to me,” but you never know. I would recommend this book to my friends because I think the story line would influence their choices greatly. I think it would give them a better perspective on making good…

I think this book is breath-taking because Cole beat up his friend Peter and then he blamed the world on every thing that had happened, so his parents thought that this island would help him from beating up his friend and blaming the world on everything.…
It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…
I like how its really intense and calming and also some parts funny. I like how it talks about teen pregnancy because some young teens will want to get pregnant at such a young age and if they read this book it may help them change their mind and wait till they get older, thats very important to me. I really like the chapter where Bobby was talking about the wall when he was trying to get everything back in place and try to see who he really was, i thought that part was really good. I like how it goes back and fourth for the chapters like then and now, it makes you want to read more because in one chapter it tells you really good information and you just want to read even more till the…
This novel has been oversimplified, attempting to make not only the setting but also the characters and plot simpler than what they really are. This novel is a fairly straightforward read for a young adult. The story is narrated in third person, gives the reader details of the entire world where the story takes…

To Kill a Mockingbird shows the innocence of children and the troubles they are faced with in their daily…
I had a really good time reading this book, it’s descriptive words kept me interested. Also the use of imagery, figurative language, and the creation of mood helped a lot with putting images in to my head. The book never got boring to me and stayed on point.…

Imagine a dangerous journey, a mission that your family doesn't want you to go on. One surrounded by bad predictions and an overall sense of doom. That's all I could picture when I first read the starting sentence. I can just imagine that this book will be full of adventure and possibly misfortune on a journey that the main character will be on. I expect a lot of twists, turns, and obstacles that every good book should have.…
This book makes me motivated and makes me not want to give up on my dream. It motivated me in a way to keep pushing for my dream. Don’t let drugs or people put you down just push past those and you’ll get through them. In the book a building was being built next to the football field where the two boys played football on. Without football the boys wouldn’t be who they are today. That’s the part of the book that motivated me the most. If I give up I won’t be able to achieve my…
I liked how vivid the author was about the things he encountered. His inner thoughts is what also made this novel an interesting read for me because it showed readers what he was really feeling. When I read Dave’s thought and feelings about being locked in a bathroom with ammonia, it brought tears to my eyes. At first, the brutal details in this book made it hard for me to believe that any child endured such pain for so long. I couldn’t believe how long Dave was abused. I just couldn’t understand what human being does this to a child—what mother does this to a…

What I enjoyed most about reading this book was the way the author introduced and described all of the characters. I had a great picture in my mind about each and every character and I felt myself thinking about some of them even when they were absent from a page or two. It became so interesting that before I could finish the book, I had to turn to the internet to look up the characters of the movie. I just had to see them in the flesh!…
