Dear Julio,

I just abandoned my book "Grimm's Fairy Tales" by the Grimm brothers (Willhelm Grimm and Jacob Grimm). I abandoned my book because it was boring and the stories were long and boring. I used Mrs.Zrihen's reading tactics no help, skipped many pages no help, so I abandoned it. All the stories are boring and dreadful. It made some of my favorite stories boring. I was able to get up to page 126 but note I skipped pages. I don't recommend this book unless you like taking a nap, I read the book to a 3 year old he said and I quote "It boring". In Little Red Riding Hood they called her Red cap so no hood but a cap and they sometimes called her a he then a she so a he/she? I blame the author for poor German translation since this book is German. Some of these stories are not even actual Fairy tales some were just made up. Well heres the end of the rant. Hope you liked it‼

Dear Daniel,

       I just read "Hoot" by Carl Hiaasen. I'm pretty sure you know what its about. The book is about baby owls that are about to be killed from the construction of a Mother Paula's Pancake House. The main characters in this book are Roy Eberhardt is a kid/pre-teen that came from Montana to Florida who finds it hard living here. Beatrice "The Bear" Leap is a tough soccer player who is the step-brother of Mullet Fingers and protects him from trouble he might get from messing up the constuction. Mullet Fingers is Beatrice's step-brother, he got his name well nickname by capturing a mullet with his bare hands. He also messes up the construction site of Mother Paula's Pancake House. Dana Matherson is what I like to call the big lump of coal since he is a bully thats mean to Roy. In the book he got stripped down and tied to a flag pole which is funny and humiliating. Officer David Delinko, Chuck Muckle, and Curly also are the main characters the 3 work to get the job done and make the place made. My favorite part in the book is when they save the little tiny owls from being killed since they are endangered. My hated part was when they try to destroy the land and run over the owls. Most of the Mullet Fingers does a prank Curly does something for it to stop. Each event literally showed a cause and effect. The book is really great I recommend it plus its made by a great author but be careful some of his novels are nc-17 rated. Thats all so bye!

Dear Samuel,

   I just finished reading "Sunrise Over Fallujah" by Walter Dean Myers. Its a really interesting book. Its about the current war that ended but, it took place in 2003 but, its all fictional but believable. The main characters are Robin "Birdy" Perry, Marla, and Charles "Jonesy" Jones. The plot starts when Birdy is deployed and meets his fellow soldiers. He meets Marla and Jonesy, Marla is a cocky person that sometimes gets on Birdy's nerves, and Jonesy is an African American with a gigantic vocabulary who really doesn't want to be in war. Birdy is also an African American, who doesn't want to be in war but is also nervous about it and sees no purpose in it. In the middle of the book soldiers die and go in combat however, the last battle is the most important one. In the last battle a blind kid walks in the middle of war and Jonesy did the bravest thing, he ran in to save the kid but also got shot in the neck for this process, he later died  from his wounds with full military honors. The conflicts in this book are the war, and why did Birdy want to be in war. The resolution to one of them is when Jonesy dies saving a blind kid in the middle of the war made Birdy rethink why he came to the war and why he has to fulfill his purpose. The war was not fixed since the book took place in 2003. My favorite part was when Jonesy saved the blind kid because it reminded me of 9/11 how some people were saving one another. The part that hated the most was when Jonesy died it also reminded me of 9/11 how some people were saving each other but died in the process. My personal feelings are the book is really cool had a lot of action and suspense. I recommend you to get it because its like Call of duty but most parts in the book are more modernized, other than having this made-up chemical "Nova 6" which makes you die a slow painful death. That's all I can write hope you write back! Well bye!

Dear World,


     I just read the book "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens. However, I'm jumping ship on it. Many of you know about this book because its famous and the book had a play based on it. The reason why I'm abandoning it because the book is hard to comprehend for the smart 6th grade brain. The books pages are really long, I was only able to get to page 19 after 2 weeks trying to break down its highly proper English. The way the book was written down had proper English which the British and old Englishmen used. The way it was written made me think about Wikipedia explaining about 2+2 in big hard to learn terms. The book was quite interesting, around page 12 (at least that's the page my ereader addressed) that's when we finally get some dialog. Since I only got up to page 19 trying to read the book it did not tell me anything about the characters it was not like '"insert words here" said Bob' it mostly called the characters madam for women or sir for men. The book should have used the style of dialog like I said above then it would make more sense. The plot had no action because I only got to page 19 it mostly had transporting of letters to one and another. Since it was about the French and the British in the French Revolution some fighting should be involved around those pages not taking 20 pages about letters. I really had no favorite part in this book or hated part so I'm neutral with this book. Its pretty long and old I would recommend it if your a reading addict but, if you just want a book to read and your around preteen to teen I wouldn't recommend it because its hard to understand an if you have a short attention you could get bored. My feeling to this book is get it if you like reading but if all else don't get it at least it came on my ereader for free. Instead of this book I would recommend Lost in Shangri-La by Mitchel Zuckoff. 






                            Over and out,
