I thought that this book was very intense and unique. It felt different than any book I've ever read before because it held new ideas. I look forward to Healing Wars:Book 2!

Simone Elkeles is a brilliant author and her books are worth the time to read them. Leaving paradise is a intense love story where two people don't know their are in love and in turn help each other find the strength to face others. I would reccommend this book to both boys and girls.


Along for the Ride

This book by Sarah Dessen is just simply amazing. I enjoyed every page and could not get enough. The fact that it delt with a girl with divorced parents, new step mom, and getting the childhood she never had is very compelling to anyone. I would defintely recommend this book to those who are fans of dessen's and girls. :)


Dead Until Dark

date submitted: 2009-07-27 11:24:56.0
First book in the Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries Series. Sookie is a small-time cocktail waitress at the bar Merlotte's in small town Bon Temps, Louisiana. She can read the minds of the people around her. Unfortunately she doesn't see this as a gift but more of a disability until Bill Compton walks into the bar one night and changes her life forever. Sookie is thrilled by the arrival of Bon Temps first Vampire and also that she can't read his mind.After saving eachother's life they form a strong relationship and together solve they mystery that has killed a number of woman who have been in a sexual relationship with a vampire. Sookie fearing that she is next. This novel is fast, funny and scary. The author is very descriptive (sometimes too descriptive) and sets your imagination alight. The mystery is both shocking and intriguing with an unexpecting outcome, with possibly the best ending I have ever read. The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries has also recently been created into a TV series and is currently on it's second series, (based on the sequel of Dead until Dark, Living Dead in Dallas) the TV series is called True Blood and has been proved very popular in America.

A friend of mine at JobCorp introduced me to this book and told me that all of her friends are reading it. And she showed me the inscription on the inner cover of the book where the author apparently donated a bunch of them to support our local PBS station. Everybody in my school is reading this book. The book's about cat people with psychic powers. I don't know when I've had so much fun reading a book. Not just because my girlfriend is reading along with me either. I'm into Science Fiction. I like things like Star Trek, Star Wars and Stargate. Anyway if you're a Science Fiction fan this book is a must read.
