All We Know of Heaven

So this book is really good for the first half, but the end is a little disappointing. It is drawn out way too long. The story is about two best friends who look almost identical. When they get in a car accident the hospital mixes them up because they are so badly damaged. They thought one girl had died when it was really the other. In a story of mistaken identity one family rejoices and the other weeps. The life of Maureen will never be the same.

The Scarlet Letter

The Scarlet Letter was an ok book, of course it's an American classic and has an intersting point about society. It is a little hard to get interested in, but Hester Prynne is a character you want to be happy. Even though she was charged with adultery she doesn't give up, she raises her daughter to a hypocritcal society in which they are outcast. To get the whole story you have to read the book it's really too much information to try and explain.

Review/Description

Roger Chillingworth, an aging scholar, arrives in New England after two years' separation from his wife Hester to find her on trial for adultery. For refusing to reveal her lover's identity, she is condemned to wear a letter 'A' sewn onto her clothes. Roger resolves to discover and destroy the man who has stolen his honor.For the next seven years the participants in this bizarre love triangle privately suffer the consequences of betrayal, cowardice, and humiliation. Slowly but surely, the need for redemption grows in each as the story hastens toward its dramatic close.

Pride and Prejudice

This was an excelent book. It takes awhile to get used to the language and it starts off a little slow, but it's totally worth it in the end. The movie is also really good, although not as good as the book. Mr. Bennet was one of my favorite characters, along with Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Truely Mr. Darcy is a wonderful person once he got past his pride, which takes him over half the book to accomplish. I really suggest you read this book if you like love stories.

Review/ Description

This novel tells the tale of the convoluted romance of Mister Fitzwilliam Darcy and Miss Elizabeth `Lizzy? Bennet. Basically, Darcy?s pride prevents him from showing his true feelings for Elizabeth, and Lizzy?s prejudice against men keeps her from truly falling in love. The protagonists of the story are Charles Bingley, Fitzwilliam Darcy, and the Bennet family. The leaders of the Bennet family are rational Mr. Bennet and foolish Mrs. Bennet, who thinks only of finding wealthy men for her daughters to marry. This is the tale of the courtships of the Bennet girls: beautiful and gentle Jane, clever Lizzy, reclusive Mary, silly Kitty, and headstrong Lydia. The story begins with the incorrigible Mrs. Bennet demanding that her husband introduce the family to wealthy Mr. Bingley, who has just moved to Netherfield Park, in the village of Longbourn, where the Bennet residence can also be found. Mrs. Bennet hopes that Bingley will marry one of her daughters. The Bennet family forms a friendship with Mr. Bingley, his sister Caroline, and their friend, Mr. Darcy. In the mean time, the Bennets also become acquainted with one George Wickham, Darcy?s estranged childhood friend.

Fahrenheit 451

So I had to read this book for English class, but it was good. It was about a society where books were burned if they were found. The ending is a little depressing but if fits the story. It has a lot of good characters but leaves a few unanswered questions about what happens to Clarice. I would suggest if you had to do a paper for English class this would be a good book to choose.
