Hey everyone! How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was great! I finished reading a lot of books lately, but I haven't had enough time to post. So.....here we go:
The first book is called "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott. I enjoyed this book very much and it's a classic novel too. It's about 4 sisters named Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. It talks about their life growing up in the 1800's. Yes, it is a very long book, it has lots of information about them. I think it was a very fun book and the author did a very good job of describing and elaborating. I think I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars!
The next book is called "Boy of the Painted Cave" by Justine
Denzel. It is about a boy named Tao who is a part of a Native American tribe. Tao really likes to draw and paint, but in his tribe, it is considered bad if you do that. Only the cave painter of the tribe may draw and paint. I really liked this book. I was very surprised at some parts of the book, and there is a sequel to it called "Return to the Painted Cave" I will be reading that one soon, also. I would probably give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
This book is called "The Golden Goblet" by Eloise
Jarvice McGraw. The setting is in Ancient Egypt and the main character is a boy named
Ranofer. He has to live with his mean half-brother,
Gebu who screams at him and beats
Ranofer.
Ranofer has to work at a gold shop and loves it. He finds a disturbing thing in house---he thinks
Gebu stole the gold! He needs to figure out how
Gebu stole it. But nobody would believe
Ranofer if he told them. How will he do it? In my opinion, it was
ok. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.
This is called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" by J.K Rowling. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!! Everyone was telling me to read the Harry Potter series because they are so awesome. Some of my friends have read them more than one time so I said, "Okay, I'll try and read them" thinking that I wouldn't like them.......wow......I was wrong. They are amazing books....I defiantly recommend them to everybody! I can't really tell what it's about without wanting to give away the ending.......5 out of 5 stars!
Then I read "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" by J.K Rowling. Again, I LOVED IT!!!!!!! It took me about 1 and a half days to read it because I loved it so much! With this book, I would want to see what happened next so I HAD to keep reading. This book was about the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts school, (maybe that's where she came up with the name for the book......
heehee) it was opened by somebody! I can't say anymore. Actually, yes I can. But I would like to say that when I read it, I would HAVE to go onto the next part so that I could see what happens. (You probably will too.) The way that she writes it, it makes me feel like I am there with them at Hogwarts. I was scared at the parts that were scary-(there were a couple)......I even screamed at one part....at one time I had to stop reading and calm down. And then I felt kinda silly because it wasn't happening to me. But again, 5 out of 5 stars!
After that I read "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of
Azkaban" by J.K Rowling. It was a great book. Just amazing. I really like the way she ended it, I wasn't expecting a couple of the endings and the way she chose to write it.......I LIKED IT! This book was a little bit bigger than the first two Harry Potter books. But I didn't care. It was amazing like the others. 5 out of 5 stars!
What books have you read lately? Please feel free to comment. Well, goodbye! I'm off to read the fourth Harry Potter book........ :)
