Pretty Little Liars

It’s a warm summer night. You and your 4 best friends are having the sleepover of a life time to celebrate the end of 7th grade. Your best friends Alison DiLaurentis, Spencer Hastings, Emily Fields, Hanna Marin, and Aria Montgomery are having a great time until Spencer and Alison get into a fight. Alison storms out into the darkness and doesn’t return. Ever. 1 year later Alison’s body is found and she is finally pronounced dead. About the same time you and your remaining friends start getting notes from a stalker named “A” who seems to know everything about them, including secrets that are so dark, it would bury them alive.

The story above is the plot from Pretty Little Liars. Pretty Little Liars is a haunting series that is extremely addicting. In the series there are 17 books and 2 prequels. I have read and own them all. Each book is filled to the brim with adventure, horror, humor, romance, and of course, secrets. The author is Sara Shepard, who started this series in 2003 and the final book came out only last month. At first the book reviews were very mixed but now the only reviews you could find would be positive. Here is one of the reviews from the first book by the New York Times "This book makes most popular vampire romances look anemic", while concluding, "Pretty Little Liars could go in several directions, including mundane teen clichés. It's got an equally good shot at making us care about these imperfect pretty girls."

If I could change anything about it, I would change the fact that Aria Montgomery broke up with Ezra Fitz in book 6, and that Hanna waited until book 4 to get her bulimia under control, and that Emily was only in a coma for 3 days. Other than that I wouldn’t change anything

    I am confused by the fact that Cinder chose to go to Europe in search for a woman instead of going to Dr. Erland. Another question I thought of while reading the book was, why would Scarlet trust a man who used to work with kidnappers, he could be lying to her. This book reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood as they both have similar characters, in both books there is a little girl, a wolf and a grandmother. I love how Meyer’s books are so similar to classic fairy tales but yet they are so different. Myer writes this book in the future where an emperor rules the whole world. A question I have for the Mrs. Meyer is, what made her think of changing the government from a democratic government to a monarchy. Overall I love this book and I can’t wait to finish it. I just hope it isn’t a cliffhanger like the previous book,…

    This story is fascinating because both of the major characters are well rounded and dynamic. They also contrast with each other. Twyla’s hard heart and Roberta’s need for excitement. Roberta’s remorse at the end of the story shows not only how her guilt has preyed on her for years, but how Twyla has rationalized her form of the truth. Though readers will never know what exactly happened to Maggie, we can learn a lot about the characters from how they dealt with the…

    My second point is the Hermit. The Hermit is one of the side stories in the book they don't get that deep into the story but they give up just enough details to make a point out of it. The hermit in the book is considered to be evil by everyone in Wirrawee. But when Ellie discovers the Hermits den she finds old documents and photo's of his family. If he was so evil why would he keep them. Personally I think that he was putting his family out of their misery by shooting them, and he stayed away from everyone because he could not stand being judged.…

    Her father suffers from manic depression, Wren is always partying, their mom wants to start a relationship with them, Cath’s writing professor fails her on a paper because it uses copyrighted characters, and Cath starts to like Levi, Reagan’s ex-boyfriend who is always hanging around the room. Her life becomes a balancing act with her home life, school work, and social life all on the line. Through her struggles, she learns how to let go, be her own person, and find what makes her happy. The novel has been very popular among readers. Kimberlyfaye writes a review that highlights Rowell’s ability to write a relatable, interesting, and well-developed novel that will enthrall the reader with its character and story. I agree with kimberlyfaye’s review of Fangirl in that overall, the way the story and characters were woven together was very interesting and enjoyable. However, I disagree that some of the techniques used to tell the story were pleasurable and, therefore, necessary. Fangirl was written with a story and characters that entice the reader, but also with some techniques that could hinder the reader’s…

    In Sady Doyle’s article, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fangs: The Unwarranted Backlash Against Fans of the World’s Most Popular Vampire – Romance,” is based on a typical fairy tale romance that is successful because it is geared towards teenage girls that have an idea of love; only this time it is not of Romeo and Juliet, but of a vampire and a human being. Although Doyle reveals that the Twilight series is not one of the best reads, she offers her insight on the importance on catering to a specific audience and how it aids in success.…

    When I was reading this book, I was confused about what was happening and this made me not enjoy it as much. One thing I did not like was how Cadence would write fairy tales about a king and three sisters. I didn't understand why she was writing these fairy tales and what they had to do with the plot. But, later learned that these stories represented her her mother and aunts difficult relationship with her grandfather. I did not like these stories because I didn’t think they were necessary in the book. However, I did like how the author made it seem like in the beginning that Cadence’s life was perfect because she gets anything she wants, but when you read more into the book you realize her life is anything but perfect. I liked this aspect of the book because it made it more interesting to read about Cadence’s story.…

    Girls Just Wanna Have Fangs, written by Sady Doyle, is a harsh criticism of Stephanie Meyers writing style in the Twilight series as well as praise for women and their ability to launch products into global success. Finding someone to argue that the Twilight series is a well written, sophisticated and exceptional could be an elongated task. However, finding “shrieking” Twilight fans is not. Most people won’t argue that the Twilight books are an especially innovative series of books, because they are loaded with very publicized faults. The flaws of the series range from old-fashioned gender roles to a rather unimaginative plot. Even sometimes including unintentional humor in her work, making the series look naive and empty-headed.…

    “Tick, tock….” Quinn says. Ben gives Quinn a look, not just any look, a look of desperation. Quinn and Ben have been best friends since 3rd grade. This year, as freshman, they planned to go to the Haunted 4H Fair, for Halloween. As soon as the bell rang, they ran home and got money for the fair. The time was about seven o'clock, when Quinn wanted to go to the “Fun House”. Ben was up for the idea and decided to go with Quinn. A couple minutes in, the two best friends were split apart and on their own. Ben was looking for Quinn, but eventually wandered into the “Mazes of Mirrors”. It was so dark, Ben could barely see his own reflection. Ben could feel someone breathing on his neck. Too many thoughts went through his head, terrifying thoughts. Suddenly he vaguely saw a masked man behind him in all mirrors. Ben turned around scarcely, but saw no one. He continued to find his way around the maze. Ben was then out of the blue taken. No one saw or heard anything for a whole day. Quinn was never heard of or found, either.…
