If I Tell You I live You I'll have to Kill You


My friend suggested this book to me after she couldn’t stop talking about it. I thought that it wasn’t my kind of book, I was wrong. This book is hilarious! It is not an action book, but I still liked it. This book is about a girl in a high school. It is not a typical high school, it is a school of spies. She has many experiences in her school, she makes new friends throughout the book, and has many adventure being a spy. I liked this book, even though it is more a girl book than what I normally read. This book is very funny, and I think it is a great book.

Hiroshima

Hiroshima is a great book. This book is very realistic, and it represents everything that happened when the atomic bomb went off. Hiroshima is about two girls on the island that were living normal lives where they were. But the other point of view is what is happening in the Enola Gay bomber, and the other U.S. planes involved in the attach. This book is very dark, but it is what actually went over during World War II. The book is intense and full of terror and some action, but also shows heroic actions, survival, and pain. I liked this book, and it deserved every award it received.

The Giver


The Giver

The Giver is a great book. It is based in the future and a community is trying to make a utopia. A boy starts seeing things that other people cannot see. He receives a job that is different from other jobs in the community. He has to hold memories both good and bad, and he has some rough experiences throughout the book. He wants to save the community and release the memories to the community. I thought this book was very cool. Some things were confusing at some point but nothing that was too difficult. The book was very interesting and I could not put it down. In conclusion I loved this book, and I suggest it.

The hut


The cold air

A cracked door

The fallen snow

There will be more

 

The rusted bell

An old mail bod

A leaf that fell

A wall of rock

 

No door knob

Some broken glass

Who lived here

In the passed

The Road

The Road is a good book. A lot happens in this book in a short amount of time. The author does a great job of painting a vivid picture with descriptive words. Because there is so much happening throughout the book it isn’t always easy to follow. The place the characters are changes rapidly so you really have to be paying attention.

 The book is about two people (a man and a boy) that think they are the last people alive. They struggle to find food and shelter, but somehow they live to see another day. They get scared, tired, hungry, and cold, but the father and son never give up on finding other people or surviving.

The author never announces the names of the characters, and I think it adds a very different prospective. I liked this book but it can be confusing. Although it is confusing sometimes, I think it is a great book and the topic is very cool.
