A good book.
Had me confused and thinking hard, trying to figure out who was with who.
Cammie has her fair share of probmlems like always and so does Macey in this book.
In the third G.G book Cammie the pavement artist will need to step in the spotlight and still figure out what's going on.
Who did it? Why did they do it? What do they want? When will it be over? What's up with Zach?A good book.

A good book.
Cammie is trying to get over the trauma that hit her in face in the last book (J.A) when something unheard of happens.
Boys.
A whole group of them!
With boys come trouble with a Gallagher Girl as we learnt in teh first book. But that was ONE boy, this is...more than one!!
Cammie and her friends grow suspicious, the whole term is thrown in a tail-spin with crazy relationships, suspicision, strange boys, and a code red or 2!!
Read all the G.G books 1-5 (6 in the works!)A good book.

Thee BEST book in the Gregor series!!
Although i didn't agree with the ending i STILL love this book SO much! (which is saying alot bcause if the ending itsn't good then normally you don't end up loving it...this is not the case!)
I just finished it for like the sixth time and even though i finished it yesterday i want to read it again! (and i know if i did i would love it just as much!)
It is REALLY well done. The battles are intense, the suspense was great. She planned it all out with alot of thought!
There were times when you REALLy didn't expect the things that happened!
I LOVE Suzanne Collins!
One of her best! (and yes i've read the Hunger Games too!)Thee BEST book in the Gregor series!!

AN AMAZING book!
I LOVE the mysterious benedict series and i was SO happy when i found out there was to be a fourth!
It's compelling, mysterious, facsinatinf....extraordinary!!
You learn about Nicholas Benedict's bravery and vast knowledge at SUCH a YOUNG age!
I was VERY often astounded at Nicholas's intelect, how he came to such accurate conclusions with such little fact, proof. How he overcame hurtles in his life. Little things like dealing with bullies became something way bigger with a mind like his. He was small and not visually intimidating but i'd be afraid of him if i were those mean bullies, afraid of his persuaisiveness, afraid of those gears turning in that little head of his, at top speed!
How he went through daily life, all the struggles of orphange life, being so young, so special, being a genius AND having narcolepsy!
It's truley an amazing journey/book!
Hope Trenton Lee Stewart writes many more wonderful books like this one and all the ones before it!AN AMAZING book!

A great historical!
I have lately been reading books about Elizabeth and Mary and some information differs from the other books i've read but you never know which ones right?
It was a good read, i loe Elizabeth and how she fought through things. I'e read books about both sisters personal accounts and it's hard to really know if Mary was totally in the wrong. If she hadn't have had years of emotional torture she might not have done the things she did, acted the way she did but then Elizaeth might not have been Queen or at least that good of one. It is really interesting to think about, tehir journies, their reigns.
It's a great read and if you like it i suggest you read :
"Beware Princess Elizabeth"
"Mary, Bloody Mary"
And
"Doomed Queen Anne"A great historical!

A good book for people that like reading about old royal events, court life: assasination plots, revolts, fake obediance.....Tudor roses.
It was a good read although it you really don't understnad the power of words til you read a book about Princess Elizabeth and tehn a book about Princess Mary. One minute you're feeling HORRIBLE for Elizabeth and you hate Mary and then you read a book about Mary's life and find out it wasn't easy ither. That Mary, bloody Mary felt pain and stress, constriction and you start to feel bad for her unitl the end when you read the historical note and remember why she's called BLOODY Mary!
Overall a good read but it get's harder and harder to distinguish right from wrong after 2 or 3 or these Tudor drama noels!A good book for people that like reading about old royal events, court life: assasination plots, revolts, fake obediance.....Tudor roses.

GREAT book!
I read and loved learning about Anne Boleyn in "Doomed Queen Anne" and i was going to re-red it but my librarian showed me this one, the story of a great ruler, Anne Boleyn's daughter.
Like her mother AND father but also her own girl/woman.
It was really interesting to learn about her all that i did!
The more you learn about her the more you feel for her. You come to really appriciate her, all she went through. Then you read a book about Mary and the lines grows gray.....who's right who's wrong?
Mary was wrong on a lot opf things but what lead her to be that way?
All those years of emotional torture would lead almost anyone to do crazy rash things but just how far does it...should it go?GREAT book!

Near the beginning and the middle it's actually depressing in some ways. At one point i had to put it down to compose myself cause i was so mad, confused, and ticked at Suzanne Collins but it got better and it ended up being REALLY good (depending what team you're on. Team Peeta or team Gale.)
I was REALLY happy with how it was concluded.
Although it seemed like the outcome should have been....dragged out.....more detailed. I wanted it to last longer cause it was so....nice!
PS: Don't pay any attension to the 4 or so comments below, know that it wasn't that bad AT ALL!
It was a good book and the ending was GREAT.
Yes it was deppressing for like 3/4's but i guess it had to be that way for us to LOVE and REALLY appriciate the ending.

AMAZING book, series!!!
The characters are great, intension only revealed last minute!
WAY better than the movie, inthe movie you really don't get to know and like the characters but in the book you get WAY more of them! Inside their heads and their outward personalities.
Katniss is SO conflicted in life with her feelings, with whom to trust.....etc. which makes big events even BIGGER when they happen!! (And they do happen!!)
LOVE this book, you've gotta read it!
I was thrown at first by the horrific theme but it is so well done and presented well enough that you KNOW what the Capitol does is horrible so it's not harmeful in that way.AMAZING book, series!!!

GREAT book.
It's by the same guy who wrote Hugo Caberet....it was really good, i LOVE his drawings!
The book is about 2 kids, Rose and Ben.
Rose's story takes place in 1927 and Ben's, fifty years later in 1977.
Rose is deaf.
Ben is deaf in one ear.
Rose's story is told only in pictures but it's still understanable. Ben's is only in words. ALthough 50 years apart, their stories are very much alike. They're both looking for something.
Ben's mom is dead and...well if you read it you'll learn about Rose's mom!
I can't believe how seemlessly the 2 stories come together AND make sense at the end!
It's really well done!
I recomend it!GREAT book.

A good book, gives you a good idea of Anne's (presumed) personality.
It is written as if Anne is writing a letter to her little Elizabeth about how she got to where she was at the time, right before her trip to...the tower.
The weird part is that every other chpter is written in perspective of the king's confectionere, Lucy Cornwallis. I don't know if she was really real and i don't entirly understand the purpose of her story, maybe a general public opinion of anne and the going on, letting u in on happenings that anne might not kow of or in a perspective different from anne's.
Overall it's been a interesting read.

This was a very eye opening book.
It was sad and revolting, what that little boy (at the time) had to go through.
I do warn you, some means of abuse forced apon the child were VERY harsh, it really makes you grateful for what you have.
There is a little bit of language, in case that may be a problem for you.
It was good only in a sense of learning about...reality. Learning that horrible things happen to innocent kids, and that there are people and ways to help them.
There are 2 sequals to the book: "The lost boy" and then
"A man named dave."
The worst part about these books are.....they're real....it's all true, that is what really get's me.This was a very eye opening book.
