Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice (Five Stars)
This book is beautifully written. I believe it is a must read. The tale of Louis and his heartbreaking story is enough to make you sympathize for a "monster". This vampire is so utterly human at times, you believe he is more human than some of the people you know. This book will have you falling in love with the characters. You will realize there is more beauty in the world than you once thought after having read this book. This book was definately worth the money and time that I have put into it!

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison. I would definitely give this book 5 stars. It will easily make you laugh out loud no matter who you are-and if it doesnt than you definetly have a problem. It's about this fourteen year old girl, Georgia, that lives in England. And the story tells about all her experiances from thongs to full-frontal snoggings. LOL. The best part is that i feel like me and all my friends can easily relate to so many of Georgia's problems. I recomend it... it's worth your time.

It takes alot for me to be interested in a book...I just got done reading Breathing Underwater by Alex Flinn. This is an extreamly interesting book. It tells the story of a relationship and how it turns for the worst when Nick realizes hes gotten more and more like his father. It is a really good book and it will keep you wanting to read it. another book is We All Fall Down by Robert Cormier. This book is another that kept me wanting to read on.

My favorite book is a novel by Janet Finch called White Oleander. It is an excellent story about a young girl growing into an intriguing young women. Her life is hard and she is in and out of foster homes, but it teaches you that through life's struggles you can become anything as long as you keep hope in your heart. Everyone should check this book out, especially girls who are going through a hard struggle.

Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty ***** (5 stars)
I just finished reading this book for the second time, and I absolutely love it! It is told in diary format, with Jessica Darling's funny, most often cynical outlook on life. I couldn't put it down both times i read it, and honestly think that Megan McCafferty deserves an award for this book.

I live in Buffalo where we get feet upon feet of snow so its always pretty cold.  In the past two weeks i've finished off 3 books,, but ultimately i'd have to say the best book to snuggle up next to a fire palce with is the Hitch Hikers guide to the Galaxy. It is the greatest, silliest, most sensless and obscenely brilliant book in the galaxy... and by the way, the meaning of life is 42.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
If your teacher ever announces to the class that this book is your next reading assignment thank God! Its an awesome book, it deals with the the Nolan family, a poor family growing up in Brooklyn in the early 1900s. Francie the main character, is the daughter of Johnny and Katie Nolan, parents before they were of voting age. The book chronicles their struggle out of poverty, towards education, and love. The books not all serious, out of Francie's struggles comes tremendously smart humor. Betty Smith is one of the best writers that I have encountered so far in my life. This is a definite read for all Teens!

SILENT TO THE BONE--five stars. I'm a great fan of E. L. Konigsburg, even though most of her books are about kids younger than I. I've just finished reading her Silent to the Bone, about two boys and how one of them helps the other. Branwell is a great guy with some strange personality quirks who gets involved with the critcal injury of his half-sister and goes mute for a few weeks. If he would talk, he would be able to explain what happened, but for the time being nobody really knows how Nikki Zamborska slipped into a coma. Connor is Branwell's best friend and, with the help of his half sister,
Margaret, does everything he can to break Branwell's silence.

title: Shade's Children
author: Garth Nix
rating: five stars

I highly recommend Shade's Children. It is a cool sci-fi story about a group of kids in the future. First all of the adults disappear. Kids live in a place called the dorms. When they reach a certain age they are killed for their body parts by the overlords. The few kids that escape live with Shade, who is not quite human, and not quite machine. Their goal is to overthrow the overlords and save the world. I would also recommend other books by Garth Nix, such as Sabriel.
