1984
by George Orwell
Reviewed by: Enna
(eloysen)Book Review: A despotist, dreary book full of sad things and hopelessness... so why is it that a generation of people have appreciated it? Because of that blackness it fills you with? No. 1984 is a true classic because of the fact that it fills the one requirement of good literature: it makes you think - think about "what would happen? are we really happy? can life really get that bad?". I would recommend this book to anyone who would care to listen. 1984 really does make you think in a way all those other, happy novels won't.

Angela's Ashes
by Frank McCourt
Reviewed by: Emma
(thepinkrino) Book Review: The book is a memoir written by Frank McCourt. Within the book he talks about his life in Ireland in the late 1930's. He starts out talking about when he was younger all the way up to his life in new york years later. The book talks about his struggles, like most memoirs written. I found this book especially special because of the way it was written, it has no dialog what so ever! I thought I'd get confused but to my surprise I loved it.

Go ask Alice
by Anonymous
Reviewed by: Jenna
(abcxsouppp)Book Review: Go Ask Alice is an honest portrayal of the life of a drug addict. It gives an empathetic description of one 15-year-old girl's descent into a life of drugs that still resonates in today's teen culture. In one part of the book, the character says, "I don't know why I shouldn't use drugs, because they are wild and they are beautiful and they are wonderful, but I know I shouldn't..." Although this book isn't REALLY the diary of a real-life teenager (that is just an urban legend), the amazing first-person view of the book gives you a look inside the characters many experiences, good and bad. This is an excellent book, but not very appropriate for young readers. The author really illustrates that shows us that drugs have a seductive pull, and are not simply some distant monster to be feared.

I Know This Much is True

Reviewed by: Splitty
(splitzazor)Book Review: This book is incredibly good, and after reading it, it became my favorite book of all time. The storyline is very much real to life and in all reality could happen to anyone. It's also a very touching story and well written. I'd suggest this book to anyone who was looking for something to read. The only thing is it's long, but it's well worth it in the end.

Shrinking Violet
by Danielle Joseph
Reviewed by: Jenna Clare
(tjingal5295) Book Review: Shrinking Violet is for the music lovers, shy girls, and just plain odd balls out there. Teresa is a truely inspiring girl, and she is a lot like me. I felt like I could relate to her....I even finished this short read in one day! Since the page number is close to 300, it won't take long, so if you just want a break from a long book like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, Shrinking Violet is the perfect quick read. You will think about it long after you've turned that last page.
EXTRA: I found this book by walking into Borders with my best friend...I had a load of birthday money, so I looked at some books. Shrinking Violet is in a high school setting, so its fine to read, but you'd understand better if you were an 8th grader or up.

(thepinkrino) Book Review: Still Alice is an amazingly written book by Lisa Genova about a very successful Harvard psychology professor named Alice who has been diagnosed with early Alzheimer Disease at the age of 50.

(uglies_xd) Book Review: My favourite book :3 This books has a HUGE metaphor in it, and I hope you take the time to figure it out. It talks about the life of a german girl during the Holocaust. Her trying friendship with her best friend, and the struggles both endured. It really paints a picture in your mind about what these youth endured. They faced death, and starvation each and everyday. It opened my eyes a lot. I would recommend this book to anyone who isn't afraid of a thinker :)

The Giver

Reviewed by: Uriah
(uglies_xd) Book Review: I've read everything! This book is very,,,,unique! It talks about a boy's struggle to break out of the mold that everyone else has set for him, and everyone else. It is centered around a type of government where the "Leaders" dominate people's wills, fully. It is an amazing story of following yourself, and no one else!
break
Reviewed by: Chami
(chinesechami)Book Review: The intention of the government was a utopia. Enter a child blessed with the ability to see that perfection is impossible. Lois Lowry takes dictatorship and communism, and makes both seem innocent. But behind this facade, reality is ugly. The Giver is a book that makes one think - about the world today, and how our actions shape what will become of it.
The Glass Castle
by Jeannette Walls
Reviewed by: Emma
(thepinkrino)Book Review: Jeannette Walls writes about her hardships throughout life and although some parts may seem "far fetched" its not my place to call her a liar. She writes about her parents Rex, & Rose Mary, lacking to support her and her other siblings as well as overcoming the hardship of truly being dirt poor. The book mostly focuses on how poor her family was and how difficult life got when they didn't have a dime to feed themselves for days but what I found most fascinating were the parents, which I found to be mentally ill (especially the mother) I can't help but to blame them for everything that went wrong due to their selfishness and lack of interest in doing everything they possibly can to support their children.
I would recommend this book to anyone that took interest in the book called "Angela's ashes" and for anyone who liked this book but has not read "Angela's ashes" to go and read it!

To Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee
Reviewed by: Savannah
(spiffypanic)Book Review: This book really opened my eyes as to how life was in the deep south, amid major racial prejudices. It's narrated by a girl named Scout, telling about life growing up, so the voice of the book is really naive and childlike. But the plot mainly centers around this one horrid event that takes place in her town. At first the book seems bland, and I wondered how in the world this is an important literally work. But in this time you really get to know the characters for who they are before the conflict. The second half of the book has amazing plot twists and things really start to happen. So if you're tempted to stop reading like I did, just try to brave it out for the last part of the book, it's worth it. Harper Lee only wrote one book in her life, and it's a classic.

Reviewed by: Christina
(_sweetxtart)Book Review: This book was assigned to me as a freshman in high school. Most books that schools assign are hard to relate to and don't hold our interest very much. The first half of the book didn't have as much of a pull as the second half. Lee gave a great description of the characters and lifestyle that could easily be pictured in your head. The first half builds up to the main conflict. Then you are reeled in and must finish the book! I admit I would never pick the book up myself, but I'm glad that I was given the push to read it.
