Untamed

Untmamed was the fourth book in the House of Night series. Personally, I think the authors are sort of drawing out the series a little bit. They basically resolved everything that happened in the last book in the first fifty pages, it as a bit too easy. Zoey even got involved with another guy.Then, something totally different basically happened than what was set up in the last book. It was ok towards the end and it left off setting up for the next book. That I hope will be better.

Review/Description

Life sucks when your friends are pissed at you. Just ask Zoey Redbird – she’s become an expert on suckiness. In one week she has gone from having three boyfriends to having none, and from having a close group of friends who trusted and supported her, to being an outcast. Speaking of friends, the only two Zoey has left are undead and unMarked. And Neferet has declared war on humans, which Zoey knows in her heart is wrong. But will anyone listen to her? Zoey's adventures at vampyre finishing school take a wild and dangerous turn as loyalties are tested, shocking true intentions come to light, and an ancient evil is awakened in PC and Kristin Cast's spellbinding fourth House of Night novel.

Body Surfing

Body Surfing was pretty goo, it was very surprising and written well. The main woman of the sstory has a hard time with love and life, being once divorced and once widowed. The ending fit the story pretty well, it was sad at times and funny at others. It was a more adult type romance novel,but not graphic or anything. At times it was a bit confusing. It makes you want to go to the ocean and try body surfing. It teaches you a lesson that sometimes people aren't really who you think they are and you shouldn't make assumptions.

Deep Down Popular

Deep Down Popular was ok when I bought it I didn't know it was about sixth graders. It was written kind of simply, not alot of big words. The feel of the book was very down home in the south kind of book. Since it was based in Virginia, they say Ya'll alot. True friendship and childhood love is the main point in thi story. Bascially enjoying life and realizing what deep down popular truly means.

Review/Description

6th-grader Jessie Lou is deeply, madly, passionately in love with Conrad Parker Smith. Too bad she's a tomboy with only one on-again, off-again friend, and hair so short you can't spit on it. Too bad he's the most popular boy in their small-town school. But then Conrad hurts his leg and suddenly can't keep up with his old pursuits anymore. Jessie Lou and Conrad start spending a lot more time together, but she can't help wonder -- is she just a substitute friend? And will Conrad forget her when his leg brace comes off and he's king of the school once again?

This I Believe...

This I believe was ok. It's a collection of essays about what people believe in, their opinions, and their ways of life. Some of the essays were really interesting, while others not so much. if you like to see how other people look at life this is a good book for you to read. The first half of the book wesn;t that great, there were alot of stories about religion. You might read this book if you had to write an essay yourself, it would be good inspiration. The only problem is the essasy are mostly from famous people, professors, or jounalists. Few teenagers.

Review/Description

An inspiring collection of the personal philosophies of a group of remarkable men and women
Based on the National Public Radio series of the same name, This I Believe features eighty essayists-from the famous to the unknown-completing the thought that begins the book's title. Each piece compels readers to rethink not only how they have arrived at their own personal beliefs but also the extent to which they share them with others.
Featuring a well-known list of contributors-including Isabel Allende, Colin Powell, Gloria Steinem, William F. Buckley Jr., Penn Jillette, Bill Gates, and John Updike-the collection also contains essays by a Brooklyn lawyer; a part-time hospital clerk from Rehoboth, Massachusetts; a woman who sells Yellow Pages advertising in Fort Worth, Texas; and a man who serves on the state of Rhode Island's parole board.
The result is a stirring and provocative trip inside the minds and hearts of a diverse group of people whose beliefs-and the incredibly varied ways in which they choose to express them-reveal the American spirit at its best.

Thirteen Reasons Why

Th1rteen R3eaons Why was a really good book. It shows how alot of little things add up to alot. And how no matter how big you think something is anothere person could take it totally different. People are contected to each othere by their actions. Throughout this whole story people see the connections that wouldn't have really been noticed if they weren't pointed out. It makes you think twice about how you treat people. The ending could have been better, it wasn' quite what i wanted to happen.
