About Us

The Teenager's Book Club is a place to find a good book to read. You know how hard it is to find a good book. Well, all the books on the sight are books I've read and or reading. Some are good and others are not so good. My friends have also read most of the books. That's why I decided to start a book club. Because at my school we share books, well not literally share them,but one person will read a book and if it's good they will tell someone else to read it. That is basically the goal of this Book Club.

Identical


Do twins begin in the womb? Or in a better place?


Ok so this book was extremely weird. Usually I like Ellen Hopkins books even though the ending suck, but this book twisted so bad at the end I was in shock. Besides having odd content it was ok until the end when it took a major turn. Being a story narrated by two different people I assumed it was two different people.......I was rather shocked. Dealing with touchy subject like molest, drugs, and cutting it isn't appropriate for anyone younger than probably 13 at least. If you like stories that suprise you this is something you'd like.


Review/Description

Kaeleigh and Raeanne are identical down to the dimple. As daughters of a district-court judge father and a politician mother, they are an all-American family—on the surface. Behind the façade each sister has her own dark secret, and that's where their differences begin. For Kaeleigh, she's the misplaced focus of Daddy's love, intended for a mother whose presence on the campaign trail means absence at home. All that Raeanne sees is Daddy playing a game of favorites—and she is losing. If she has to lose, she will do it on her own terms, so she chooses drugs, alcohol, and sex. Secrets like the ones the twins are harboring are not meant to be kept—from each other or anyone else. Pretty soon it's obvious that neither sister can handle it alone, and one sister must step up to save the other, but the question is—who?

Marley & Me


The heartwarming and unforgettable story

of a family in the making and the wondrously neurotic dog

who taught them what really matters in life.


This was a really good book especially if you are a dog lover. Of course the ending is sad, but all the classic dog books are. At times Marley and Me was hilarious, touching, and devastating. It was written really well and an overall enjoyable read. It has a few parts that aren't that bad, but possibly not suitable for younger readers. I watched the movie before I read the book and it did a pretty good job sticking to the story. I recommend this book to everyone.


Review/Description

John and Jenny were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy—and their life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound steamroller of a Labrador retriever who crashed through screen doors, flung drool on guests, stole women's undergarments, devoured couches and fine jewelry, and was expelled from obedience school. Yet Marley's heart was pure, and he remained a steadfast model of love and devotion for a growing family through pregnancy, birth, heartbreak, and joy, right to the inevitable goodbye.
