Book Title: Wolf Mark
This weird novel starts just like a normal book, but soon turns into a fictional wonderland then finally ends in a wierd [sic] science fictional world. This book literally ends in a bang. Culture blends with myths and legends making this a novel like no other. If you where to compare books to food this would be a very exotic food. One thing is for sure this will completly [sic] change your idea of vampires and werewolfs. [sic]

Book Title: Twilight
To be honest, I really did not like this book. The character development (only the vampires) fascinated me, Stephenie's accuracy in writing about some things--but everything else just made me mentally roll my eyes.

Book Title: The Compound
[sic]from the stand point of a twin, i would never want that to happen to me! sure it would be reassuring at the end to know it was all fake, but being lied to for so long, you would have to want to yell at SOMEONE!

Book Title: Pride and Prejudice
This was the best Jane Austen book in my opinion. It was very realistic and believable. It was much better and more understandable than Sense and Sensibility. I loved the ending and can't wait to watch the movie!!!

Book Title: Maude March on the Run
This sequel to The Misadventures of Maude March was not as good as the first. It had less excitement and took more brain power to understand. There better be a THIRD book to correct the unsatisfactory ending to this one!

Book Title: Black Coffee
I picked this book because it had a neat title. Turned out a neat story too. I KNOW because I read it to my mom, and it kept her on the edge of her seat, guessing, the entire time!!

Book Title: Mansfield Park
This was almost as good as Pride and Prejudice! The Austen books are a great way to painlessly increase your vocabulary!! And they all end happily ever after. Even better than Cinderella.

Book Title: Sweet Sixteen Princess
I did not care much for this book. I believe that the author was trying to make this book similar to the movie "Princess Diaries". I think girls 12-15 would appreciate this book more than I did.

Book Title: Sense and Sensibility
This was a very interesting book. Although it ends happily ever after, you can tell that this is fiction. Some of the character's escapades are very hard to swallow and pretty unrealistic.This IS however a classic and I think that every girl should read this.

Book Title: Smile
A graphic novel. It won a few awards, but it is a slow-moving story, about a girl who loses her front two teeth, and has to have all this surgery, until as a senior, she can finally smile again.

Book Title: Titanic: Voices From the Disaster
This was a really understandable book that portrayed the life of the Titanic so clearly. It includes the personal stories of many of the passengers and lots of charts detailing the ship and even a special map showing where other ships were at the time of the sinking.This book made the Titanic real to me.

Book Title: Postern of Fate
This last of the Tommy and Tuppence mystery series is extra special. One of the main reasons I like it so much is that Tuppence's[sic] new bodyguard is a DOG. He heroically saves her life twice (and to me) is the REAL hero of the story. :) P.S. He gets knighted at the end!!!!!!!

This is one of the better Agatha Christie mysteries. It is another Tommy and Tuppence book that mingles mystery with nursery rhymes. The ending is so unexpected that you will fall out of your chair!!! By far one of my favorites.
