  1. I really enjoyed my book, then again it was one book in a series so I had read all the books leading up to this on. One thing that I had enjoyed about the book was the story was unique in how the author had told it. One thing that I disliked about it was that the book ended in a sort of cliff hanger. Somebody who would like this book is a fantasy book reader, or someone who likes fantasy/fiction books.

    1. My author was also unique on the way the book was told. Each chapter of my book was a day. For example, Day 1=Chapter 1, Day 2=Chapter 2.

I am also glad that my author is make three more books for this series and is also going to create a movie for this series. if I had to recommend this book to anyone I would say that this book is for people that love action suspenseful books because throughout the book Michael is always taking risks with out knowing the outcome.

  6. i enjoy this book a little but not that much because at the beginning i could not understand everything much. i would recomend this book to people who like reading things about robbery and crime. the only thing i can relate to this book is that the main character has left his homeland of where he was born like me.

    1. My book was also a little confusing in the beginning, because it started out in the present and then goes back in time, as the narrator reflects how everything came to be as it is now.

  7. I really enjoyed the book at times. Such as the long chapters or just the small sieges that happened. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes crime, suspense, history and real life stories. The reason why is because the whole book revolves around this topic, which is very cool.

    1. My novel is a work of fiction, but it does involve murder and suspense similar to your book. In my novel, the husband kills his first wife by making it look like an accident. Your book also sounds interesting.

  9. I picked the book I survived the California wildfires. I really enjoyed this book because i had a lot of connections with it because i have been in the mountains when wildfires are happening. If you like books about surviving you will like this book. There is a lot of action and events that happened in the book.

    I enjoyed my book a lot and it always made me want to keep reading from all the crazy things that happen throughout the book. I didn't dislike anything about the book it was amazing. I would recommend this to anyone because it shows how inequality takes place and how the black community is treated.

  11. I enjoyed my book a lot. I liked how it became a real page turner as the suspense drew me in. What I disliked about my novel is how it ended so abruptly. I had to go back to the beginning and read the first two chapters after I finished the novel, since it helped me understand the ending better. I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a thriller about a man who kills his wife because he's fed up with her infidelity and cold-hearted behavior.

  12. I defiantly enjoyed my book a lot. My book shared a true story about a girl with Tourette's syndrome. I liked how the book was easy to read and not a lot of words on each page.

  14. I read the book The Cabin and i really liked it. The book kept me on edge the whole time because anything could happen at any point in time because there was a murderer out there. I would recommend my book to anyone who likes murder mysteries or books that end on a cliff hanger.

  15. I really loved my book Sweetness it really hit home for me and was very impactful and emotional book. The heart and grit that Walter Payton had was unmatched. Not many NFL players had his determination and will to just not go down in football. This book was inspiring and gave me chills reading about it.

    1. I could connect with the main character in my book as well, one example is jimmy never really had a father figure which neither did I and the track coach was someone who treated him like family and I have alot of people around me who treat me like family like my coworkers and friends.

      Delete
  16. I liked my book, The Voyage of the Frog. It was about a boy lost at sea which is interesting enough, but the author also created an emotional journey he goes through as well that really ties it all together. the only thing that takes away from it was how it used a lot of boat language and terms that are hard for someone whos never been on a boat before to understand.

  17. I enjoyed my book, given i have read the rest of the seires. Overall it was a nice addition. I dislike how much Edward went back and fourth in the beginning. I did like how it was told from Edward's point of view rather than third person or Bella, it definitely gave me a whole new perspective to events that happened, rather than thinking edward was rude, it explained how he felt. I would recommend this book to anyone who has previously read the twilight series, as some things are harder to understand if you haven't already read the previous books.

  18. i kinda liked my book but at the same time i did not. i didnt like how it was so back and forth all the time, and then me having to process the fact that at one time in my book this girl (the main character) was talking to her old boyfriend that was old now like a grandpa, and it was still her young self. at a time i did come to conclusion that she wasnt actually there she was just in jakes memories. i did like how it explained everything about what she sees and why it freaked her out so much.

  19. I enjoyed my book it was interesting to read at first it was kinda confusing at first, but then it started getting good for what he had to go through and what obstacles he faced and some of the things I’m surprised he survived. I liked how the book kept you going and it made u want to read what would happen next. There wasnt too much I didn’t like about it. I would recommend this to teenagers and up for age.

There was some parts of the book that I didn't get like sometimes he would speak like Shakespeare or he would like to rhyme a lot.

  22. My book was alright it was very informative and gave me some extra knowledge of WW2. But i disliked how the book became boring at times and felt stale.

  25. I enjoyed my book The Road a lot. I liked the story for the most part the whole way through. The things that I didn't like was how it ended. I didn't like that the Man or the dad died at the end of the book. I wish that he would've made it and lived with the boy. Other then that I liked the book a lot.

  26. I enjoyed my book, only complaint is that it was very slow moving other than that I enjoyed it, I would recommend my book to anyone considering going to the military because that's a majority of what this book was about and the fact that he went through training the equivalent to spec-ops is more training than someone in the main 4 branches will need and he describes all of it and the easy and the hard parts.

  27. I enjoyed my book but the dislike is the fact that is just talking about facts so it is boring to read at times and hard to read because it is just fact after fact. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you really like history because otherwise you will get very bored but it talks a lot about iraq and iran and how they fought for 10 years and talks about us and russia.

  30. I really enjoyed my book and the plot even though it was a predictable plot. Something I really enjoyed about my book was the action in the book such as the Nazi vs. American warfare and the fight for survival amongst the prisoners. I would recommend this book to people interested in the holocaust or have an interest in war. I would also recommend the 2nd book in the series called "Making Bombs for Hitler" which shows another pov from a minor character in my book.

  33. i enjoyed my book because it built off the first book but was also its own separate story. I didn't like that there were certain parts that were a bit confusing because they didn't explain the characters enough. i would recommend this book to anyone who has read the first book because you will get to know the characters more.

  34. I enjoyed my book i liked that we got to see things from both characters points of view and they connected to each other instead of being completely separate. i didn't like that there was random characters that only had a page or two then we didn't hear from them again. i would recommend this book to someone who likes reading and wants something thats more casual to read.

  36. I enjoyed my book but i would of liked it if it had less information. I liked it but it just seemed that you can only read so much at once because there is so much info.

There were many dramas and embarrassing things that happened in the book that made you wonder what is going to happen next, it would also keep you on your toes. I wish my book had either action or mystery in it, and some things were slow. I liked how it related to my own life sense she was in high school as well. I would recommend this book to middle school or high school girls it can relate to people the same age.

  Each novel has a setting or multiple settings.  How does your author create images of the setting?  If you had to describe the time/place ...
