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.

A Great and Terrible Beauty


This book really disappointed me because the story had the potential to be really good, but the direction the author went just really made the book suck. You can figure out what is going to happen before it does and I got really aggravated at how easily she let the main character get mainipulated. Overall it was a waste of my time to read and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Even though the ending made up for a little bit of the story it didn't overthrow the way it unfolded. Apparently there are more in the series but I don't know if I'm going to read them.


Review/Description

It’s 1895, and after the suicide of her mother, 16-year-old Gemma Doyle is shipped off from the life she knows in India to Spence, a proper boarding school in England. Lonely, guilt-ridden, and prone to visions of the future that have an uncomfortable habit of coming true, Gemma’s reception there is a chilly one. To make things worse, she’s been followed by a mysterious young Indian man, a man sent to watch her. But why? What is her destiny? And what will her entanglement with Spence’s most powerful girls—and their foray into the spiritual world—lead to?
