Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson
My Rating: 5 stars This is yet another amazing book by James Patterson. Seriously, I cannot put into words how much I love and adore his writing and book ideas. This book is the first in a series, and it is about six children (Max, Fang, Iggy, the Gasman, Nudge and Angel) without parents, without […]

Extras by Scott Westerfeld
My Rating: 4 stars **If you haven’t read previous books, don’t read!** This book was nothing like I expected. I thought it was going to be another book from Tally’s point of view where she goes through another surgery. But this book is from Aya Fuse’s point of view. Her world formed a few years […]

The Giver by Lois Lowry
My Rating: 4 stars I had to read The Giver in school and usually I don’t like books that I read for school, but I really liked this one. I really liked how Lois Lowry created this futuristic world, where everything seems perfect on the surface. There are no conflicts, unemployment, poverty, inequality or injustice. […]

Specials by Scott Westerfeld
My Rating: 4 stars **If you haven’t read previous books, don’t read!** Everything has changed for Tally Youngblood. She has been completely remade. Her bones are now aircraft ceramic, light but indestructible. Her muscles repair themselves. She can hear the faintest, most distant sound through her skintenna. And all her senses are supernaturally sharp. She’s […]

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
My Rating: 5 stars Okay, so I’m going to contradict myself at least a million times while writing this, so just bear with me. I have to say, this is one of the strangest books I have ever read. Just the whole way it was written was totally different and original. But at the same […]

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
My Rating: 5 stars I’m not going to lie, but I absolutely loved this book! The whole series is great actually. But this was a really good way to start it all off. So this takes place in the future, not the type of future you’re thinking about: the stereotypical flying cars, etc. Although this […]

Skinny by Ibi Kaslik
My Rating: 1 star Hmm. I didn’t really like this book very much. I’m not quite sure why, but it just didn’t click with me. It didn’t really make me want to turn the page and read more. It’s sad to say, but it was boring! Truthfully, it was. I guess it could have been […]
