House Review

House is an intense, scary book co written by Ted Dekker ans Frank Peretti,both very established horror authors. This book tells about a group of people who get stuck in a house.In order to escape,they must give their capture one dead body in order to make it out alive.

This book has its very scary moments,but at times,I felt that this book ran in circles.I understand they were trying to escape ,but this book had a lot of fighting(verbal,not physical)over weapons and stuff.Also,this book had its odd moments where I was sort of confused.I may have over hyped this book though.My friends and critics said it was great and maybe that is why.I just was not as good as I anticipated.

The Book Thief Review

Long.Depressing.Inticng. These are words that describe Markus Zusak's masterpiece The Book Thief. This novel takes place in a small German town during Hitler's reign.Leisel lives with her foster parents. She starts stealing books from book burnings and the mayors wife.Also,her family hides a Jew,adding to the ever present danger! Overall,this book was enjoyable.Some of the morals are questionable,such as the young child's thievery and some of the language used by many of the characters.This is one of those books that defiantly need to be taken into historical context to be fully appreciated. There where some parts on this that were somewhat hard to read through,but I was glad I did.This is not a happy read for sure,and I recommend it for readers who have a sense of digression! Overall,I liked this book and will read more of Zusak's novels in the future!

A Company of Swans Review

So,over the summer,I took up ballet lessons.I have fell in love with it! So,when I heard about Eva Ibbotson's A Company of Swans,I knew I had to read it! This book tells about a girl who follows her dreams,despite what other people think!She joins a traveling ballet company!She has far less experience than any of the other dancers in the company,but they see her passion,dedication,and willingness to learn.I can relate to that aspect of the girls life!She followed her dreams despite people telling her she could not be good! This is another book that I would say would be a great summer read as well!:)

This is a children's book,but if your an adult and you have not read it,still do!Please!:)It will be totally worth your time!Let me know what you think!

Hope was here Review

Hope was here is written by one of my all time favorite authors who also wrote other titles such as Rules of the Road and Squashed Sticks.This story tells of Hope (formerly known as Tulip) and her aunt,Addie.They both work in the food industry and are forced ton move to Wisconsin due to an other belly up restaurant.Here,she finds not only adventure in the diner,but also some local politics!

This book is a blissful blend of romantic,adventurous and all together delightful!I had the hardest time outing this one down.It is also a light easy read that will make the ends of your lips smile and possibly a few tears fall from your eyes! I "hope"you enjoy it!:)
