Norta Book Report

I loved this book so much. There is so much action and is so much better and exciting with so much amazing detail and description. This is one of my favorite books ever. When you read it, you don’t want to put it down and it makes you feel like you are with the characters in the book and you know them so well. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at this level.

I was not really into reading at the time, but I remember that my teacher made us read for at least fifteen minutes at the beginning of every class. If we did not have a book there were many books from her library to choose from. I believe this was one of the first books that I read in her class, and think I chose this book in particular because it stood out. I mean the title itself already piqued my interest. I honestly did not think that I was going to enjoy it as much as I did, It was such a bizarre read with all the strange events and abnormal characters. And in a weird way, the strangeness of the story was what I really liked. I do not think I would have liked it as much if it was not for that. It was one of the first chapter books that I did not have to force myself to finish. This was also one of the first books I read that really got me into loving to read. I just loved getting lost in another world and I wanted to keep reading books that did that for me.

This book changed my life and my views towards different matters. After we read the book we watched the movie and the movie made me realize the horrific things these innocent people went through. I remember sitting with my friends in class and wiping the tears from our eyes watching the cruelty that was spread amongst these people. Who could kill innocent children like that? With that one book I learned about war and prejudice along with many other things. How could someone think that was ok and what kind of motive does this set for people all over the world. Another book I have read is the Hunger Games. I loved this book for many reasons but most importantly it drew you in and then left you hanging at the end so you would have to wait until a year later just to see what happened next. They then came out with movies to every series of the hunger games and of course my friends and I were the first people in theatres to see these movies! I have read many other books in my life including, “The Shack”, “The Outsiders”, and “To kill a mockingbird.”

Ah, overall this book is great for readers who love intense fantasy, the book welcoming you just as much as they welcome the kids in Croak. It doesn't keep you exhausted on the edge every chapter, but it keeps you craving more. Something you need to know about this book is that it's hardcore fantasy, and you'll love it so much you'll want to be trapped

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

I really enjoyed the book because from the beginning it started giving background information about the characters, which really helped me see how they became the person we see in the book. Also the book does a wonderful job at painting pictures in your head. One part described the city as “… a ceaseless passage of carriages, trains, and grip cars all with iron clad wheels that struck the pavement like rolling hammers.” With that description I could see the cars and hear the wheels, plus it just helps me understand the book a little better.

It was really a joy reading it and experiencing the tolls of the tragedies on the narrator as I read. However, it was a very sad and moving story that would have you crying at parts and laughing out loud at others. I would suggest this book to anyone, as long as they enjoy books that might make them a bit emotional. Overall, I thought this was one of the best books I have ever read, just the story line was truly fantastic.

“The truth is what I make it, I could set this world on fire and call it rain.” - Red Queen. Mare Barrow lives in a world divided by blood, the reds and the silvers, the silvers are better than all of the reds and all the reds are good for is fighting in war, all until Mare Barrow. Mare’s brothers have all gone off to war and her best friend Kilron is going to as soon as he turns 18, but Mare, being as stubborn as always, decides to do something about it. This suspenseful book is a page turner as something happens to Mare that doesn’t just change Mare, but the entire world of reds and silvers. Red Queen isn't just reds and silvers but it portrays a whole message about segregation in the real world as well. The reds are treated differently just because the color of their blood and the silvers are treated like royalty because of their blood color and they all have amazing powers, for example, there is strong arm, a super strong person. There is a nymph, someone who controls water, and many more. This is similar to segregation between sexes or races and throughout the whole book, protests are occurring between bloods for equality.

Suzanne Collins always describes things so clearly. I think because of all the descriptions it makes it easier to understand. I liked the whole book, but my favorite part of the book was in the training center. When Katniss was showing the sponsors her bow and arrow skills. The first time she messed up and the sponsors didn't really pay any attention after that. Then she hits a bullseye but they weren’t looking, so she shoots an arrow towards the people's heads and hit an apple on the pigs roast. I think that many people would enjoy reading the book, but I think the minimum age is around sixth grade. The book was so good that I couldn’t stop reading at any point. In my opinion, there were no boring parts of the

Thanks to my lack of interest in reading, sitting down are reading a full story has become a difficult task. The stories that captivate my attention and hook me in have to be full of action, mythical creatures, and relatable characters. Rick Riordan’s book “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” really hooked me in as there was a lot of description and he was able to bring Greek Mythology to the modern world. For example, Percy Jackson, the main character in the novel, goes on and adventure with his friends into the underworld to meet Hades, a Greek God. As I was reading I was able to picture his journey and the setting around him. Riordan also made sure that there were lessons to be learned in the adventures Percy Jackson was going through and he implemented these lessons by using symbolism. I ended up reading the whole book in a week. Not only did I read that whole book, but I continued to read the rest of the six-book series. In addition, I also enjoyed reading “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins because I like reading about the struggle and conflict the Katniss Everdeen, the main character, had to go through, and how she was able to solve said struggle. Katniss had to become an adult early in her life because she had to take care of her sister and she had to lead the people that lived in her district. In a way, “The Hunger Games” was kind of like a coming of age novel, which is another reason I enjoyed the book. I was able to relate to the basic

Her father built her house before she was born and she adored the memories that had been made. She is now 17 years old and without an apprenticeship, may be sent off to fight the war with the Lakelanders, just like her brothers and father. She is strong, intelligent, stubborn, and unique in even more ways than she thought imaginable.

Mare has the best relationship with Shade, as they have a lot in common. She has always felt that she stands in Giza’s shadow and that she is worthless. Giza is successful and kind and makes her parents proud, while Mare believes there is nothing special about herself and that she disappoints her parents. However, Mare soon finds out that she is more special than anyone else. She has lightning running through her red blood and has the ability to create and control electricity. THe rumor soon spreads across Norta, earning her the nickname, The Lightning Girl. This is when her life changed and she knew it would never be normal

The book was very interesting I could not stop

In that book the main character, Cath, Read "The Outsiders" to another character. I ended up becoming very curious about "The Outsiders" and asked my mom about it. She said that the movie was good but she had never read the books. I naturally read the book first, which I'm glad I did because the movie is not as good. I read "The Outsiders" in 4 hours because I was literally incapable of putting it down. That book inspired to me to write again. All throughout my Freshmen year I wrote about everything I could. All paper and pencil too, as long as that was

My family was traveling to southern Indiana to see our cousins for the weekend, so I had a long time to read the book. I read almost the entire way there, and I couldn't put it down. I finished the book and immediately wanted to read another one. I was very anxious to get to school on Monday so I could start reading the second book in the series. This book was about the main character playing football, and how he had a chance to win the city championship. I again read this book within a couple days and then started on the third book. This became a regular pattern for me. I was now reading at least one book a week, and my opinion on reading had dramatically changed within a few weeks. I went from disliking what I was reading, and picking out a book was nearly impossible, to now loving what I was reading. I didn't have to worry about picking out a book because I could just read the next book in the

This book drew me in so completely I did not want to put it down.
