Dreamland

Dreamlnad actually surprised me by being pretty good. It reminds me alot of Breathing Underwater which was also a book about a controlling and abusive realtionship. Except Dreamland was about the victim of the abuse instead of the one being abusive. It helps you undestand what someone goes through and what it does to them emotionally and physically. The girl still loved the guy even after he hurt her. She couldn't see how this awesesome guy could be so mean. Throughout most of the book she talked about how she felt she was underwater, not really there (which again reminds me of Breathing Underwater). In the end though she goes to rehab, after she conseaved a drug problem, and makes her way to the surface.

Someone Like You

This book was pretty good. It wasn't really what I was expecting. Friendship Played a main role in this book. And how friends are there with you through everything, good times and bad. In theis book the times are mostly bad. Someone Like You and That Summer were the basics for the movie How to Deal starring Mandy Moore. Personally I think the movie had a better story than both the books.

Review/Description

Halley and Scarlett have been friend for years. People know Scarlett as the popular, flamboyant one; Halley's just the quiet sidekick, but she doesn't mind. The two of them balance each other perfectly–until the beginning of their junior year, when Scarlett's boyfriend is killed in a motorcycle accident. Soon afterward, she learns that she is carrying his baby. For the first time, Scarlett really needs Halley. Their friendship may bend under the weight of these struggles, but it will never break–because a true friendship is a promise you keep forever.

That Summer

This book wasn't reallyy interesting. Not much happened except that the main character stopped taking crap from everyone and became more herself. I wasn't impressed with it at all. It was one of the bokos that the movie How To Deal was based on. It ended up not being romantic at all which disappointed me .You might read it if your bored but besides that there isn't much point.

Review/Description

The Host

ok I have one thing to say this book was.....Extemely Awesome! Almost close to Twilight which of course is understandable since it was a Stephenie Meyer book also. I startewd this book thinking how awful it was going to be since I didn't understand anything going on until after the first hundred pages. So if your confused don't give up it gets better. The characters remind me of some of the Twilight people especially Jamie he reminds me of Jacob. This book had me crying and laughing because of Wanderer, I really liked her. I definetely recommend that you read this book.

Review/Description

The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories.

Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.

Fell

Ok this book was alot better than the first one in my opinion. It was the sequel to the book The Sight. It ened alot better as well. It finished off where the first book left off and tied up most of the loose ends. It left open the future for Fell and it least it gave him a happy future. This book was more involved with humans and a human girl (Alina) was one of the main characters. I liked her alot along with Catalin her somewhat boyfriend. It really made the impact if humans in the world a big issue.

Review/Description
The sequel to The Sight (2002) is another mesmerizing page-turner set in Transylvania, in which the author again draws on old legends and tales, including those about Baba Yaga and Dracula. Fell, the black wolf who wanders without a pack, and Alina, a 15-year-old human, are both gifted with the Sight, which enables them to communicate, and both haunted by frightening visions, dreams, and inner demons. The companions join forces to fulfill a prophecy indicating that Alina willrescue nature itself from doom. Their trek is fraught with perils introduced by the evil Lord Vladeran, who tried to have Alina killed asa very little girl and has recently learned that she still lives. Vladeran's arsenal includes the spirit of the cunning wolf Morgra, called up to exert dark powers over Fell. Despite some minor discrepancies and an ending that feels way too pat, this book will be deemed worth the trip by returning readers as well as some newcomers, who will find sufficient back story to illuminate this adventure and to pique interest in the earlier one.
