    The Movie or the Book? Nicholas Sparks has written multiple novels that have evolved into movies‚ such as The Notebook‚ The Last Song‚ Dear John‚ Message in a Bottle‚ and A Walk to Remember. The movies previously mentioned are as equally good as the novels except for Dear John. To me‚ Dear John is one of the best books written by Nicholas Sparks‚ yet the movie is the worst. The plot is excellent‚ but it is poorly portrayed in the movie. Several literary elements are found in both the movie and the

    FEED‚ by M.T. Anderson‚ is one of those books that has voice galore. It had so much voice‚ it was kind of hard to read. In fact‚ as one point in the first forty pages‚ I got so frustrated with it‚ I put the book down and didn’t know if I would pick it back up. This is a book that’s told from the first person point of view of a teenager who is connected to internet feed. The feed is yelling at him all the time: ads‚ news stories‚ TV shows‚ games. It was like reading a book with a stereo blaring

    Just Try Isabel is a young girl. Isabel is a slave. Isabel is a girl who is constantly juggling new problems that are thrown at her.

    I am still reading Ophelia Speaks by Sara Shandler. When I first started reading the book I was very interested in it but as I got further in reading the book personally I feel like it gets more depressing.
