To All The Guys I've Ever Loved Before

To All The Boys I've Ever Loved Before 

By: Jenny Han

 

Blurb: Lara Jean keeps her love letters in a hatbox her mother gave her. They aren't love letters that anyone else wrote for her; these are ones she's written. One for every boy she's ever loved-five in all. When she writes, she can pour out her heart and soul and say all the things she would never say in real life, because her letters are for her eyes only. Until the day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly Lara Jean's love life goes from imaginary to out of control.

My view: Soooooooooooooooooooo many plot twists, it's so crazy ( can I say crazier than count Olaf). It is so beautifully written in so many ways. You fall in love with the literature and the characters. The book makes you believe the young love you experience if you did is some what like this unlikely love story.  And if you like this book you can read the second.

To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill A Mockingbird 

By: Harper Lee

 

Blurb: A gripping,heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable coming-of-age tale in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father-a crusading local lawyer-risks everything to defend an African American unjustly accused of a terrible crime.

My view:  Harper Lee writing in this book is amazing. Just when you think you have this book figured out something new is brought out of the shadows. Plot twists all over the place. This book is such a classic, you could read it over and over. It brings sight you never really thought about come into view.

Divergent

Divergent 

By: Veronica Roth

Blurb: One choice decides your friends. One choice defines your beliefs. One choice determines your loyalties forever. One choice can transform you.

My view: read it to find out all the fuss. The movies don't do this book justice.

Looking for Alaska

Looking for Alaska 

By:John Green 

Blurb: Before.  Miles "Pudge" Halter's whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the "Great Perhaps" (François Rabelais, Poet) even more. He heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.

After. Nothing is ever the same.

My view: This book such like (TFIOS) also written by John Green makes you feel every emotion. When the plot makes you sad he hits you with humor. You fall in love with Pudge's and Alaska's friendship. They are always their for each other. This book is extremely heart wrenching and heartbreaking but at the same time is light and playful. Prepare yourself to take the plunges that come your way in this storyline and the plot twists that come your way.

The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars

By: John Green

Blurb: Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten. 

My view: This book makes you feel every emotion. If you have never read anything written by John Green start with this book. The way he writes makes  you fall in love with the words he displays on the paper. You fall in love with the characters and the life they live in the pages within the book. John Green has written other books, so if you love this one you can pick up another one of his books.

Uglies

Uglies

By: Scott Westerfeld

Blurb:Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. In just a few weeks she'll have the operation that will turn her from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty. And as a pretty, she'll be catapulted into a high tech paradise where her only job is to have fun.

But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to become a pretty. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world - and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally a choice: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. Tally's choice will change her wold forever.

My view: The way the book was written shows how she may not be beautiful on the outside but beautiful on the inside. He makes sure you can see the want that the people have to be considered pretty. For me it shows how easily this could happen in our world today, how many people only care about how they look. Tally's journey throughout the book will make you want to read more and lucky for us it's the first book in a series of four.

Stars: 8.5/10

The Giver

The Giver By Lois Lowry

Summary: Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the community.

When Jonas turned twelve, he is singled out to receive special training from the Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now it's time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.

My view: The book is written so beautifully and shows views in every aspect. Jonas (the main character) shows growth and development throughout the unfolding of this story. His growth as a character just makes you fall in love with him and how Lowry writes him a magnificent storyline. If you liked the book then catch the movie it is one of the closest movies to the book I have ever seen.
