They're three and at the moment, I'm not sure they have the full patience to appreciate books like this. But as a kid and all, I remember liking this book quite a bit.
Corduroy is a very cute name for a bear and I guess the underlying message of the book is loneliness and how one person can come around and change all that. It really is a precious read that I remember very fondly :) ...more
Possibly the best part of this book was its dis(for lack of a better word) of Fox News. And obviously George Bush. That was funny. I think that is whyPossibly the best part of this book was its dis(for lack of a better word) of Fox News. And obviously George Bush. That was funny. I think that is why i gave this book 5 stars. The book itself was pretty good but that other stuff topped the cake. This book was basically your typical end of the world book. An asteroid, meteorite or whatever hits the moon and shifts just a little closer to the Earth. And then there's chaos and mayhem and pandemonium etc. etc. This book is told through diary entries which normally would have been unfortunate but in this case it was okay, even if the girl in the story was a little too self indulgent for my tastes. Well anyway, besides the fact there were far too many unanswered questions and whining, this was one of the best reads for me in 2010. Chao! ...more
My Life as a Rhombus. My Life as a Rhombus . Wow. What a darn awesome book! For some reason I like to read books about fellow geeks, nerds, whatever, My Life as a Rhombus. My Life as a Rhombus . Wow. What a darn awesome book! For some reason I like to read books about fellow geeks, nerds, whatever, such as myself. So after reading Saving Maddie by the same author and found out about this book, I was immediately excited. Because it's about math. And that means this girl's a nerd xD. And even though I kinda die a little inside at the mention of math, I was still really happy about reading this book. I have to admit I was a little disappointed when I realized that this girl, Rhonda, had an abortion(not that I'm pro-life or trying to make political statements in a book website) but I just kinda wanted to read about a pure, nerd girl. But I was happy again once I got into this book. And as I said it was awesome! OOH YEAH! :) ...more

This seriously is one of my new favorite books now. Which is weird because this book in a way reminds me of Twilight, which I cannot abosolutely standThis seriously is one of my new favorite books now. Which is weird because this book in a way reminds me of Twilight, which I cannot abosolutely stand. But unlike Twilight, this book has depth and at one point of this book I thought I was going to cry. And you know, I'm not sure how much I'll like this book after it becomes a movie, because then it'll become even more like Twilight, all hyped up.
I don't want to give you the impression that this book had the same stupid subject matter as Twilight however, because it doesn't and the only reason I am comparing the two is because of how popular the two books are. This book, is about a girl named Katniss. Who lives in some kind of future world where what is now North America is now called "Panem". And what is now separated into states and provinces is then separated into "districts". Katniss lives in district 12 which is the poorest and has the worst reputation. To keep all the districts in line after the rebellion of the now non-existent district 13, the "Capitol" hosts every year something called "The Hunger Games". Hence, the title. Then, 24 people, two people from each district, a girl and a boy, are picked randomly to compete in the games where they will fight to the death. And when Katniss's dear sister gets calls, Katniss volunteers to take her place...
Man, this book was so awesome. I would tell more, but I'm just so...what's the word, hyped up right now. Can't wait to read the sequel and then the one after that! :D...more
I liked the fact that Gabriel( the dude in the book) was a scaredy cat like I am. Lol. I also liked the fact that it's based in the 70s.

Most historical fiction books are never based in the 70s unless they were actually written then. I hate to admit it but for the first couple of pages I thought Gabriel and everyone else in the book was black....more

Sounder was one of those books that I had sitting on my shelf forever that my dad forced me to buy. Occasionally I would try to read it but in the endSounder was one of those books that I had sitting on my shelf forever that my dad forced me to buy. Occasionally I would try to read it but in the end, I would only get to like, page 3. Then, one day, I picked up this book, and got past page 3. Then past page 5. Then past page 10. And etc. etc. Before i knew it, I had finished the book. And i had actually LIKED it. I mean, it didn't go on my 'fav book' list. But, it was still good. Good, but sad. And get this , I hate dog books. ...more

I remember being impressed with the language in the book. What I mean, is, when I read this book in like the fifth grade, seeing the B-word was like: I remember being impressed with the language in the book. What I mean, is, when I read this book in like the fifth grade, seeing the B-word was like: OMG! And so, that was one thing that made this book interesting. And of course I'm a history geek and anything pertaining to past events(especially slavery) excites me. So, great book :)...more
