I just finished reading Beastly by Alex Flinn. It is the contemporary retelling of Beauty and Beast the fairy tale from the beast point of view. It a charming story with the beast being a self centered teen boy who's father is famous and wealthy. The beauty is a girl who is smart, poor and unnoticed in the well do private school.

A very good read.

The Alchemyst by Michael Scott

"The Alchemyst" was most definitely a page-turner. One of the most major things I liked about the main characters was that they weren't perfect. Sophie and Josh both had their own personal fears and like normal fifteen year old, they were not immune to making mistakes. This makes them a lot easier to understand and connect with. Also, there is a lot of mythology mentioned in this book, and afterwards, I had an incredible urge to go read some mythology for myself, making this book a good start on becoming interested in mythology. "The Alchemyst" is a fabulous book and I would recommend it as a must read.

Jeff Kinney Rules!!!!!

Ohhhh, my sides hurt from laughing so hard. Give me a second to wipe the tears from my eyes.

Jeff Kinney's second book Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is as funny as the first.

Enjoyed every minute reading it. There's a secret in this one that Greg is trying to keep under wraps. You'll have to read it to find out if he does.

I have heard the kids in the middle school talking about the book and it's all been good. You have to get a copy and read. Make sure you have Kleenex near by to wipe your eyes from laughing.

I just finished reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. I had a hard time writting this review since I had so many tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.


It's not your typical diary. He tells you from the start of the book, it's not going to be "dear diary this or dear diary that". It's about Greg just trying to get through middle school. You meet his family and friends. You meet his brother Rodrick who joy is torturing Greg.


I liked everything about the book from the story to the pictures. It was a fast and fun read. I am looking forward to Mr. Kinney's next book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Rodrick Rules.
