The fourth book of Bone is about three cousins that go on a journey to protect the valley from the rat creatures. There are three Bones but the main carachter is Fone Bone. They are protecting themselves from the evil rat creatures by building walls around a little town called barrel haven.
The book is in a third person view and captures the audience by pictures. That is what fascinated me. The author intended his book for mainly kids from age 7 and up. Bone is a graphic novel with pictures that help the reader understand what is going on in the book. The author used pictures to keep me interested because I don't like books without pictures. The author wrote this book beautifully for his intended audience.
Bone by Jeff Smith did not in any way affect my personal life. It did not change any belies I had or opinions or standing point on anything. It made me remember the time I read a graphic novel once in sixth grade.
The book was fantastic almost no criticisms on it. If I could change one thing though I would change the way the rat creatures looked. They didn't look like rats at all! They looked more like big purple hamsters. I would totally recommend this book to any one and everyone.

My book is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Its a book about 12 districts that have to offer up one man and women to compete in the yearly hunger games, a fight to the death with 24 competitors. They train them for the course's of the arena and what to do to survive. Katniss Everdeen is introduced in the beginning of the book as a hunter that goes in the woods and hunts animals to provide for her family with her friend Gale.Primrose Everdeen and Peeta Mellark's name is drawn for the 74th Hunger Games, And they are not prepared for the danger's ahead of them. Katniss is so scared for Prim her little sister that she runs out and volunteers as a tribute for the Hunger Games.
The Narrator is Katniss, she is telling the story in a first person point of view. She tells about the hardships in district 12 and the pain of her sister's name being drawn. She doesn't understand how or what she is supposed to do to prepare herself because their mentor Haymitch is a drunk that doesn't care, but Peeta reach's out to Haymitch and talks to him about useful tips to survive and how to get sponsors while Katniss is in the dark on the subject, she doesn't know who to trust. The audience is probably younger teenagers because in the book its about 24 teenagers fight to the death, and it is Science Fiction or Utopian and dystopian fiction. The author keeps me interested by the training and her anger towards the capitol and the will to survive that she has. She doesn't want to die and in her mind she knows that she won't die.
This book affected me by making me think about what it would be like to be in one of the competitors shoes. At such a young age having to fight 23 other competitors or die trying. It really gets you thinking and makes you thankful that you have the stuff that you do and a family and you have food on the table and have freedom. After reading this book I do look at the world differently. I see it as a gift and I am thankful for that gift. This book doesn't really remind me of anything because it is so unique and non-comparable to any of the books that i have read.
I like this book it talks about hardships and surviving in an arena and questioning your every move on if you should do it or not. I didn't like some of it in the arena but overall its a good book.

Book Title: Dork Diaries
Author: Rachel Renee Russell
First Copy Right Date: 2009
Type of Book: Humorous Book Serious
General Subject Matter: Doesn't say
.
Its about a 14 year old girl named Nikki, she thinks of herself as a dork and she has always wanted to fit in. She has a diary, she loves to write everything that happens in her life about it and the way she is treated. Basically what the moral story of the book is that always be who you are not who people want you to be.
The story all start by Nikki saying that her birthday she wanted a phone, all because the CCP (cool, cute & popular) girl had one. She loves to write in her diary no matter what but she is always saying how others at her school treat her especially MACKENZIE. Mackenzie is the most popular girl in school, people have always kissed up to her because they want to hang out with her. Even Nikki. The author Rachel Renee Russell had written the book for her daughter Nikki, which I'm guessing that the story might have been actually based on the authors daughter. This book is a Real Based on true story of life, maybe some things were actually made up. The way the author kept me and many other people interested in this book was by having the book written so well and creative. Especially the way she put mean girls in the book and always the dorky one. The style of the author is great because I think many people enjoy reading it, it really well and intended written.
The way the book affected was that it made me want to read it more and read not just that book but all of the Rachel Renee Russell book's, in my opinion they are amazing. At first my idea of the book when I saw just the cover was aww man this book is going to be for little girls and blah blah, but then then I started to read it and realized it wasn't its probably for all ages or whoever wants to read it. It never really brought memories because I have never read a book so fun and entertaining that made me want to read so more.
The way I would criticize this book would be by saying that is beautifully written and that she has got to write so many more. Two of the things I would recommend the author to do would be write a book the same way she is doing it now but the only difference is to add mystery to it and the other is she needs to make movies out of them. I would love to see a movie of that book
