Review

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins


Cover Image

I Really enjoyed this book I think it is by far the best book in the Hunger Games series. My favorite part was towards the end of the book but you never knew what was going to happen next!!!

The Fire Thief

Cover Image by Terry Deary

*** out of 5 stars - I feel this way because gods and goddesses are my favorite myths to read. What  I liked the most about this book is how Prometheus lives everyday for eternity.

Book Reviews from the Summer Reading Entries

Rumor Has It by Jane B. Mason & Sarah Hines Stephen (Reviewer Gabrielle)
It was very predictable!!  Haha

11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass (Reviewer Gabrielle)
I really liked it! It was a page turner, I love Wendy Mass's books!:)

Eon: dragoneye reborn by Alison Goodman (Reviewer Galena)
GREAT!

Eona by Alison Goodman (Reviewer Galena)
Stunning!

The Mating  by Nicky Charles (Reviewer Geornesha)
It was a great 1st book to a trilogy.

The Giver by Lois Lowery (Reviewer Jackie)
The theme was really refreshing and the book made me think what if I lived in a society like one in the book. I wouldn't like to live the way the society decide everything for me even though it's for everyone's sake.Aalthough I liked it, I didn't like the ending. I would've liked it better if I knew what happened to Jonas after he escaped from the society.
