Book:The Duff

I have wanted to read this book for a while and when i heard they where making it in to a tv show I just had to read the book.
I thought the book was good but I thought it would talk a little bit more about what it was like to be a duff. but the whole thing was about a guy and like a love story thing. So  other then that it was pretty good.
I liked it. but the hard thing was at points it felt like everything I have read before. I think that it will make a great TV show and that people will like watching it and reading the book.

really there is not much I can review of it because  there was not much to the book. now that is not a bad thing it just is the way the book was. a light break from the rest of the world and that is nice for a book. but it makes for a bad review sadly.
so if you like books all about sex and teen age matters of the heart. I liked the end of it very much. but would have like to see a little more of it.

Book: Entwined

I have wanted to read this book because I love the cover and I saw the book at the library and I had to get it because on the back The writer of East praised the book. and I loved East so much that I just had to take the book. I did not read the inside cover so when i read it and it started to sound like the 12 dancing princess ( which is one of my most loved childhood fairy tale) I fell head over heels for the book.One thing I love about books like this one is that is it gives the people in it that little push it tells us about them. it gave the girls a hobby and we see how that changed who they were and what they did with their time. I loved the people in the book to. and so much of the book made me think of the book East. In a good way. I also loved the hole thing with the king. But I found that the keeper and the end was all but to easy to see coming from the start. it was good and all but if you are going to change the story and what happens then you might want to add a good twist to. I like how all of the girls had flower names. and I like how they all where so one of a kind. what I did not like was how unclear the ages where and all of that. I thought a lot of the girl where the wrong ages and got a little lost. I think it would have been nice to say which girl would come out in what year or found some way to tell you how old they where a little faster. but other then that I liked the book. I liked why they had to go dancing. I did get a little mad at them for the way they where so dumb about things here and there.Sometimes I ask my self is it so hard to write someone who is smart and who some what really knows whats going on. and its like with the keeper there are so many little things that could have been done to better play out what happened. but again other then that I liked this book. I felt it was a great YA story of the 12 dancing princess.  A must read book if you liked East or the 12 dancing princess.

Book: Dash and Lily's book of dares

This book was pretty good. I do not know if I like every thing in the book. it was good. the Ending was a little odd. it just end that part of Lily's and dash's life. i love the idea of the red note book. The story played out like life really does. and it was very fun to read and hard at other parts. I think how the book was told was good. having there be two people writing two people really makes things better and cooler to read.The book is nice for you see that there are to sides to every story. I really want to cohn's and levithan's books after this one ( yes. I have not seen or read Nick and Norah's infinite playlist.but I will now). a sweet X-mas break book. short but sweet in a good way. over all a good book. great for people who want to read about really life really love and that sometimes you just have to see things to the end before you break your own heart over it.

Book:Shiver(The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1)

Well the best way to start off the review is by saying that this is one of the biggest let downs I have ever read. A lot of people I know like it.And so many people told me that is would be a better read than Twilight. After reading this I want to read twilight again. And I don't even like twilight ( yes I went through my sad six months of liking it before I finally read something really good). I did not like how Sam and Grace are never really are happy. It seemed like the whole book was just them sitting around waiting for the next worse thing to happen. Which is sad because the book did have some good little points. Like I liked the setting of Mercy Falls. And at first I did like Sam and Grace and they why I got both sides of the story but the more I read the less I cared for that fact. And I'm sorry but I think that there was a lot when it came to wolf way of life that could have been left out and something truly worth reading put in its place. But  NO WAY! And at times I was not sure what story I was even reading. Which was a pain. So I would sit there and be like " yeah its a werewolf love story...and ummm yeah its cold. Which is why its called shiver" In some ways being in love is ever thing. But not the love in this book. I sat there thinking to myself that a love story about two teens dying of cancer would be more hopeful and worth reading than this.  And I might have learned something useful from that book. This on the other hand could have been great and would have been much better if it had not been written by a love sick stay at home mom. I have a stay at home but at least she is not out there trying to sell to young teenagers. I will try to read the next book in hopes that maybe it will pick up on the few good points that were hinted at in this book.
