Dear Samuel,


I have finished read the book "Lord of the Nutcracker Men" by Ian Lawernce. I find the book really interesting as I thought this week's genre would be highly boring where you can see in my previous rjs I state that I fall asleep. The book is about a kid who plays war with an army of nutcrackers his father makes since he is a toy maker. While he plays in his imaginative world his dad gets drafted into WWI. I can tell it is WWI because of the year in the story which was 1914. I find the book to have its twist and turns in it. It has a lot of suspense where I wonder what is happening next. I also find that the more I read the more of the book I want to read. I wish it can be longer. One thing I found interesting was how when he plays with the toy nutcrackers in war he believes he has godlike powers that control his father's fate. I found it interesting be cause he can like make his father survive and win the war. I highly recommend the book because its interesting, not boring, and you like Call of Duty so you can relate to it.


Sincerely,
Lucky

Dear Person,

I have finished reading my autobiography from last week. A link of it can be found here http://luckybaydounrj2011-2012.blogspot.com/2012/01/rj-21.html. If you did not read my last rj, the name of it is My Remarkable Journey by Larry King. He has done many things in life. As I continued reading he stated that he has been arrested one time when he was younger. He also had many other talk show host jobs before his big debut on CNN.  Ever since I finished reading it, it appears to be that in the rest of the book its just little petty information. He has lived in many other places such as Miami and different parts of New York. Since he is an interviewer its obvious, that he has met many other celebrities. He has also been interviewed too, for many other reasons such as a biography not made by him or to be on a talk show. The book though did not mention his retiring from CNN. He also stated his education in the book. One of the schools he went to was Lafyette in New york. One of my favorite quotes from the book is "Memories are all we have. Lose them, and we have nothing. But memories touched by humor, those are the best of all." I also found his journey through life remarkable hence its name of the book. Like I said be fore in my last rj I would highly recommend this book to anyone since it is well written and an enjoyable read.

Sincerely,

Lucky
