   I love thinking about prom. It is so cool! Wearing Dresses, having a date, and dancing. It seems like a cool time! This book has many things about proms. It has times when the character does not have a date and tries to ruin the prom by casting a spell. There are ones that is scared of dancing and prom. Each story is made differently. Like there are some that is more a script than a story. There are some that is a Diary and lots more.

   My favorite story is the story about this girl who started off without any dates, but ends up with 3 dates. I thought the story was very romantic. Especially the part when knows the truth about this boy who she thought bullied her.

   Some stories are very disappointing. Some character hates prom, but in the end she is forced to go to prom. It just makes you feel angry.

   I like when books or stories is very in our time. Like when a story has parts that talk about I-pad's or trending things that we all recognized. Some of the story is to old fashioned like a girl who emails people. I think it should be like her chatting in Facebook or chatting in her phone, like now days.

   My favorite story is the story about the girl having 3 dates. I don't like some of the stories. I like the parts that is very similar to our time, I recommend this book for people who likes prom, and who didn't have prom yet. I rate this book 8 stars out of 10 or 4 stars out of 5.

  This book Is very touching. Its about a girl who loves cats. Its pretty amazing how the girl can stop many cats from dieing. I would say she is a hero. Saving many cats lives is very special thing to do.
  A cat lover, Sunita really wants a cat. But her mom does not let her have one. So she volunteers to help a vet. She wants to help animals. At the vet, Sunita adopts a orange cat named Socrates, The cat leads the to a secret world of cats at the back yard.
  I am a cat lover. reading this book makes me broken hearted. It even made me cry. This book carries a big lesson. Animals are Equal to humans. If you hare stay cats why don't you nurture them? They can still live but they won't make more kittens suffer. So take care of animals. Don't hurt them!
  The backyard makes me think of the cats at the roads. Sometimes i give them food. The cats near the streets look very skinny. I really want to take care of all of them. But there are too many stray cats here.
  The mother cat can't naturally give birth, so now the cat needs an operation. Operation on the mother cat and on the cat of Socrates, made me sad.  Humans are scared of operations. What about cats? They would freak out.
  I am a cat lover. Cats are suffering I think we should help them. I recommend this book to cat lovers. I rate this book 4 out of 5.

Rating: 4 Stars

   This is the third book of the Uglies series. Tally youngblood is a teen girl who before was a ugly. Her world was turned upside down. She has done what the Specials(the people who control the city)has told her to do. After her becoming a pretty she made a mistake and now she is forced to become a special. I really like imagining things in the book. That is the only reason i read books. When Tally changed i imagined how she would look like. She also has a Skintenna (A communication thing under the skin that can communicate with other specials)now which makes the book more cool. The author says that tally has been remade into a scary human.

   Tally has been remade to a special called a cutter. A cutter is a younger and cooler type of special. The cutter group was lead by her best friend. Shay. After Tally has been remade to a special, she goes on her fist mission. They try to look for a outsider. They found one but, they have made a unexpected turn. They go into an unforgettable mess with the specials and the Smokes.

   The fact that they still had the Smoke blows me away. I thought the specials had already killed that place. But turned out it made a new one. The New Smoke. This one is much more stronger, bigger, and more caring to those runaways.

   Zane is Tally's boyfriend, but Zane died. It is very sad. I don't wan't tally to think that its her fault. I it kind of Is her fault. She is the one who made him eat that pill. I knew this part was coming anyways. Zane was already sick scince the 2nd book, the pretties.

   Tally is new now. Zane died. Smoke still lives. I recommend this book to teens. It is not appropriate for children. I rate this book 4 out of 5.

   I am reviewing a great book called Z for Zachariah. This is a book about a young lady that is alone in the world by her self because the radioactive waves in her country has killed everyone. She meets a man who is a scientist. She thinks the man is the person who has invented the radioactive wave. This Is a good old fashioned book. My dad used to read this when he was little.
   A teen girl named Ann Burden, lives in the country side. She knows how to survive on her own. She owns her own farm, which means she can grow her own food and take care of her own animals! The most amazing part is, she knows how to cook, farm things, and she has a store that isn't owned by anyone anymore. It's really cool. I'm sure she can survive at that place for a long time.
   This book has a many important meanings. Sometimes people do things that kills many people. Every one in the world has selfishness in them. You can't change that. Some people might look nice but actuality they could be selfish.
   The setting of the book is very interesting. The main character lives in the big house. Besides the big house is a store with nobody owning it. The fact that the character can cook, spices up the book. She also has a farm of her own, so she can farm her own plants.
   Overall I think this book is great. It has many moralistic endings that think is important, and the setting is beautiful. I recommend this book for people who understands the world. I think they would really like it. I rate this book 4 stars.

   This is the second book of the Uglies series. Tally youngblood is a teen girl who before was a ugly. Her world was turned upside down. She has done what the Specials(the people who control the city)has told her to do. Now she is a Pretty, her dream come true! Pretties is the best book i have ever read out of all the other series. It's the most interesting book i have ever read. It has the most important events. The story jumps to different events every page. So many events i cant stop reading it!
   The Cuffs is like a regular prisoner cuff, but only one side. It records everything you say and you do. I think the Cuffs might not be the best idea. Its not so futuristic. Maybe the specials can make a detector in their blood. This will make the story more interesting. They will have to control some doctor to cure them.
   The book changed from a science novel, to a love story. Now everything is about Zane and Tally. Its becoming very boring. I think the author should make it more interesting.
   Zane wants  to live with her forever. Zane is a kind, Pretty, Sharp guy.  But tally likes him not because he is Pretty, She likes him because he is a caring guy. He also helped her remember her past.
   I think David is not so fascinating anymore. Now he makes me angry. He thinks he knows everything. He thinks tally loves Zane because of his beauty. But no he is wrong.
   Overall I think the author should change the cuffs. The love story is too boring. Zane is the best character in the book. David is bad now. I should rate this book 4 stars!

UGLIES

Rating: ? Stars

   I am going to talk about the cool teen series, The Uglies. This book is a great science fiction novel about a girl name Tally Youngblood. Tally tries to have a normal teen life but because of her friend, she cant have one. Now she needs to fix everything to have her dream wish, to be a Pretty.

   Tally Youngblood is my favorite character in the book. I like her because she has her own thoughts. She is also like me, confused in every decision she makes. She is a 15-year old girl that has her world turned upside down in a few months. Her friend, Shay, dragged her in this revealing secret. She gives the readers unexpected turns in the story.

   The language in the book is very complicated. There is some words that i cant understand, Like bogus or Bubbly. I think the author should make a glossary in the back of the book. Some people might not understand those words.

   Smoke is the place where normal people lives(not controlled) its like the headquarters of the rebels of the city. I like The Smoke, the place is very similar to our cities, towns and countries. It has the art of living in the world in the 21st century. They bake and cook just like us.

   Tally youngblood is my favorite character. The language in the book needs changing. Smoke is very similar to our city. I recommend the book to be read by Teens and young adults. If it is read by children that is younger than 10, it might not be appropriate for their age.

  I love this book so much! It is the best romance book I have ever read. It starts out with explaining the main characters life. And how the person moves to the new town, Forks. The main character is Bella Swan, she is an 17 year old girl who just has moved to Forks with her dad. She started out hating Forks then ends up loving the place. She loves the place because the Vampire.

  My favorite character is Bella swan. I like her because she is very brave. Even though she knows she likes a vampire she still fine (not freaking out). In some parts she is very romantic.

  This book has the best romance in it. The author, Stephenie Meyer, has wrote the book so well that my heart is in the air for more than two days. The romance has caught my heart in romance. It makes me became addicted to the book that I feel I must know everything after it.

  Overall I think this book is great, it has great characters and the romance is great. I recommend this book for any teen who loves Teen Vampire romance!
