***** (5 stars!!) "Sea-weed brain!" "Holy gods..." "Ella likes books!" This is what I call action packed comedy! The Percey Jackson series (The Lightning Thief, Sea of Monsters, The Titan Curse,, Battle of the Labyrinth and the Last Olympian)is by Rick Riordan, by far the best writer of all time!!!!!!! It's about these demi gods (Percey and Annabeth with the help from Camp Half-Blood and the Hunters) who have to go on quests and finally defeat the all mighty Kronus, the god of time. Not even a god, titan, father of the titans. I recomend this book for 4th through 8th graders. But really it canbe for anyone! If you like fantasy, greek gods or awesome, descriptive writing. You love this! It's like modern, but theres the whole ancient gods thing. SO GOOD!!! PS. this is not a review or even a recommendation: THIS IS A MUST DO!!!! PPS. Above Rick Riordan's name is pink. It is a link to his awesome website!

***** (5 stars!) The story of The Hunger Games takes place in the future, in the country of Panem. In this country lies twelve districts: District 1, District 2, District 3 and so on for twelve districts. In District 12 in the poorest part called the Seam lives a girl and her family. The girl is named Katniss Everdeen. Once a year the Capitol has an event called the Hunger Games to make sure people know who’s boss. The Hunger Games, an event in which one girl and one boy is chosen to participate from each district in a fight to the death, is happily anticipated by the Capitol and dreaded by the districts. The children ages twelve to eighteen are put into a giant arena of land. The entire country of Panem is forced to watch all twenty-four tributes either die or get killed. Katniss and Peeta, a boy who once saved her life, are forced to participate in this bloody battle. For the first time in all seventy-four years of the Hunger Games will two tributes from one district survive and win? The Hunger Games is by Suzanne Collins, an amazing author. This book was well written. It had great descriptions and vivid imagery also much suspense. She made me feel like I was in the book, I was there, I was Katniss. I love the way she took time to describe something to really make it seem real. I thought she was very clever. There were some good twists in the story and pieces of information here and there that made more sense later. I didn’t like the fact that lots of people had to die, even some good ones. Also at the same time, it made the story; it gave it a meaning, even if it was a pretty sad one. Suzanne Collins left me wanting more. I recommend this book for middle and high school aged people. It's a wonderfully written book. It contains much violence and ugly things. A horrible country with good and bad people. I say read at your own rick. It has much blood and death and sadness. I read it with my mom. 1. Muttations: Super-animals made by the Capitol used to fight during the uprising of the districts. They use them in the Hunger Games, but some also live in the wild. |
