White Pine

And I'm back! Just gonna finish up on my last post. And I'm sure most of you have read some of the books so I won't bother outlining the plots
Little Brother: overall the book was... ok. I didn't really understand alot of the technological aspect of the book. Little Brother didn't really keep me on an 'edge' like i thought it would. The book was fairly long and I had some trouble getting through it. What I like about the book is the title. Weird, I know. After reading the book I found that the plot was very similar to George Orwell's 1984(one of my favourtie books in the world). In 1984, there is someone called Big Brother that watches over everyone in the book. Thus the tile, Little Brother. As I said before, the book was ok but not one of my favourites this year.

Gravity Journal: I thought gravity journal was a bit too whiney for me. I mean, I know she's going through a tough time and stuff but it seems like she brought on that stuff herself. Anise thought she could make everything better if she did something about it. She can't change everything and she has a hard time realizing that. I generally like to read books about topics like depression, self-mutilation, anerexia/bulmia, drug/alcohol abuse, and so on, but Gravity Journal just didn't make the cut for me. It was a quick read though.

Tweaked: I actually really liked tweaked. I thought the author put a good spin on the topic of drug abuse by getting a family member's perspective. It just made the story seem more real, and even sadder. I aslo liked the ending because it wasn't your usual drug abuse book. Overall I really liked it.

Like I said before, I am currently about half way through Dooley Takes a Fall. I like it so far because it's a sort of mystery type book. Feel free to make comments or give your opinions on books!
