Riffles for Watie

     I had to read this book for school. At first I really didn't like it. I felt like the book was 'scatter-brained'. like it went from one topic to the next to quickly. When I got about half way through I started enjoying the book more. And now I see the author made it like that to get the story going, though I do think that he could have done it better.
    The book it about a boy named  Jeff who is fighting in the Civil War. Some where in the story he's given a mission to get information on the enemy and ends up having to fight for the enemy in order to not be caught.
     I think it was a pretty interesting book and I would recommend it. I feel it's good for learning what the war was like, and how the soldiers had to live - on both sides of the war.

Eragon

I read Eragon through the summer. I enjoyed the book, I only wish it didn't take me so long to get through.
I really enjoyed this book. though I have enjoyed other books more. I'm glad I read it, but I don't think I'll be reading the sequels. The book is great, the author is talented but he dragged everything out a little to much for my liking. i also think the book was not enough my style. I do like fantasy but there was something about this book that I didn't enjoy quite as much as I suspected I would. Though don't make what I say make you not read it. I know a lot of people who enjoyed quite a bit, and I do think it's a worth wile read.

I found the little paragraph about the author in the back very interesting. I'll put it here.
Christopher Paolini's abiding love of fantasy and science fiction inspired him to begin writing his debut novel, Eragon, when he graduated from high school at fifteen after being homeschooled all his life. He became a New York Times bestselling author at nineteen. Christopher lives in Montana, where the dramatic landscape feeds his visions of Alagaesia.

Now, I know this isn't a movie review blog but I feel I need to write about the movie Eragon. I have heard from many people how disappointed they were in the movie, and how the movie was almost nothing like the book. Now my own opinion is that they are all wrong! I watched the movie after reading the book. I think they made the movie almost exactly like the book. they took out a lot of things; I think they had to do that though, the book is just too long to get it all into one movie. the ending was also a bit different. But other than that I think they did a pretty good job. Though there is one thing in the movie that really upset me; I the book there is an Elf named Arya, She is an Extremely important part of the book, and it's important that she be an elf, well in the movie there are no elves! Grrrr

A PONY Book/ Last Chance Horse/ By

This book is about a stubborn teen. Kat gets mad easily and goes for a walk by a horse paddock to vent, when along comes a horse who changes her, her life, and her attitude forever. Through the book her relation ship with her sister comes back to life, It's a good book about a horse winning the heart of a girl....... well, mabey a girl winning the heart of the horse. The ending to this is odd, the auther didn't really explain it, but I think that's what she was aiming for, more of a mysterious ending. I would say any one from 10 to 16 would like this book, though it is deffinetly Writen to interest teens more.

Bark Of the Bog Owl , Wilder King trilogy

My Brother has been trying to get my to read this trilogy for years, and I wanted to I just had so many books that were in line first. Well it was Monday, our Library was closed Iwas sick of the books on my shelf, so I started it. I was in. I couldn't put the book down, the only reason I did was because I had to do school, and eat, and sleep, you know, the important stuff.
I knew I would like it but I didn't think It would be this much. when I like a book through out my day I am that character, I play in the woods as that character, and I try to solve the problems of that character, That's the way with these books. I'll tell you more about them when I've read the next two.

Books really can take you any where and every where!

Kailey

Kailey was an American girl doll, this is her book.
It was a good book and I enjoyed reading it. though I will say I'm donating it to my library and not puting it back on my shelf.
Kailey finds out the tide pools are going to be destroyed so she finds a way to help. I did like her solution it got me thinking, though I'm not telling you so not to ruin it if you decide to read it.
This is defenatly a book about saving the enviroment, witch isn't bad, but if you don't like that, you won't like the book.
