.The Book Thief
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: Markus Zusak

September 11, 2007
A group of ladies (all over 65) decided that even though we meet once a month, we needed at least once during the year to read and review a book. Book thief was suggested, but acknowledged that it was during a depressing time of history. I thought I would read the book and then get on to more pleasant reading. I was surprised at what an excellent book this was. I found the story, completely fascinating, and the point of view of the narrator to be excellent. I couldn't put it down. It was a depressing time in Nazi Germany, but a new look at the era. Great book

.Untamed: A House of Night Novel (House of Night Novels)
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: PC Cast, Kristin Cast

September 23, 2008
Untamed picks up almost immediately where Chosen, its predecessor, left off: Zoey has lost not one but all three of her boyfriends (and one in a particularly gruesome way), and her friends are hacked off because she's been keeping secrets from them, regardless if it was for their own good. But Zoey's strong, and she decides to face her issues head on: she plunks herself among her friends and get them to see her motives and even gets them to begin to accept the not-quite-so-hateful Aphrodite. But there's still plenty of angst to go around as Zoey must decide what to do about evil High Priestess Neferet and the red fledglings, one of whom is her undead best friend, Stevie Rae.

Untamed definitely continues the darker themes that gathered ... Read More:

.Nation
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: Terry Pratchett

September 30, 2008
For Pratchett fans familiar with his personal struggles, this book is a comfort and a joy. It's not about him of course - it's about life and death, history and future, old men and young children and the existence of God. In other words, it's about all of us. There are no storybook endings here but the real endings are even more satisfying.

.The Real ACT Prep Guide: The Only Official Prep Guide From The Makers Of The ACT (Real Act Prep Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: ACT Inc.

December 25, 2007
I think that this book did a pretty good job helping me prepare for this test. The practice tests are the best part. The rest is okay, but the practice tests seemed pretty similar to the actual test. By using this book, I made a 33 composite on the ACT.

If you would like some pointers or interesting ways to remember hints, try The ACT For Dummies in addition to this book, but not alone!

.Marked (House of Night, Book 1)
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: PC Cast, Kristin Cast

May 01, 2007
This book is horrible. The characters are annoying and the writing style is sub par. Elements of Harry Potter, Twilight, and Wicked are very apparent throughout the entire book. There were many times that I had to put the book down in utter frustration from the obvious rip offs. This is very unoriginal and an obvious ploy to make money off of the young adult fiction crowd. I only finished the book to see if it got better, which it didn't. The vulgar language was completely unnecessary, as well as most of the parenthetical statements. Pop culture references make the story even more cheesy. I cannot even believe this book got published.

.The Gypsy Morph (The Genesis of Shannara, Book 3)
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: Terry Brooks

August 26, 2008
I was very pleased to finally get my hands on this book. Every year, I go through and read the entire collection, just to update myself for the next book. I love how this book finally binds what the Word and Void started to the world of Shannara. Now there is so much room to grow from the end of this book to First King of Shannara. I anxiously await more. Terry Brooks is the current king of fantasy.
