Book Reviews!

Here are some books that I have recently read and wanted to share how they were with you. Read them like your life depends on it! Leave what YOU think of these books in the comments!

• The Silver Kiss, Annette Curtis Klause  five stars

Zoe is wary when, in the dead of night, the beautiful yet frightening Simon comes to her house. Simon seems to understand the pain of loneliness and death and Zoe's brooding thoughts of her dying mother.
Simon is one of the undead, a vampire, seeking revenge for the gruesome death of his mother three hundred years before. Does Simon dare ask Zoe to help free him from this lifeless chase and its insufferable loneliness? (copied from Barnes&Nobel.com) This is my FAVORITE  book! A love story with an actually plot! What a novel idea!

• The Wish List, Eoin Colfer  four stars

 Meg Finn is in a tough spot. Really tough. For her last act on Earth, she committed a crime - and lost her life as a result. Now Meg's spirit is stuck in limbo, due to a dead-even tally of good and evil deeds. Meg's only chance at salvation is to return to Earth and stack on a few more good deeds - namely, helping the old man whose apartment she was robbing during her last appearance. For better or worse, that man needs a lot of help. In fact, he has a whole list of wishes he wants to fill before he dies. And it's up to Meg to make those wishes come true - before her own time is up.... (Copied from B&N because I'm lazy) A really good book. I have always believed that the Irish write the best books, and this book is proof. (PS, Thanks for lending me this book for my birthday Carrie!!)

• The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, John Boyne  four stars

If you star to read this book you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy named Bruno. ( Though this isn't a book for nine-year-olds.) And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. Fences like this exist all over the world. We hope you will never encounter one. (From the Back cover) This book is very good, although you may think it slow at first. Towards the end this go into hyper drive, and things happen quickly. It's a great read, with a surprising ending.
