This was an amazing book and it gave me a deep glimpse into a view of a teenager from another culture. It was fascinating and informative as well as creative and enjoyable.

It's basically a teen angst book. If you like teen angst, you'll like this.


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Charlie Bucket, Bk 1)
Review Date: 4/17/2008


It's always good to read the book before you see a movie, and this book is as enjoyable as the movie is. I prefer the book usually and this case is no exception. It's a great book to get kids started into reading if things like Harry Potter don't interest them.

This series is phenomenal. It's wild and crazy with a deep plotline and lots of twists. It's a Korean comic, not a Japanese one, so it's still read from left to right. I just can't get over how good this was and I'm reccommending this to everyone.

This book was very exciting and very well written. The two main characters are fantastic and I love the awkward way the girl is portrayed, it sort of felt like it was me or someone I knew and I was reading about her. It's another teen angst novel that requires some maturity to read, but a great book for those on that level.

This book is a must read, I think, to help understand the problem the book deals with. As a fictional story it's superb, and as a book put together through research it's very informative.

Who doesn't love Pirates of the Carribean? This is a book geared towards the younger fans, though.

A page turner from start to finish, you could possibly finish it in one sitting. Just such a good book, the writing and the plot are just so well put together and the story itself is crazy. Crazy in a good way.

Definitely my favorite book from my whole grade school reading experience. I'd almost say that despite the label of children's literature, this was the book that made me start loving fantasy and science fiction. It flows and twists and makes you re-think things you thought you knew already. Good read for most teens.

I read this book in grade school and it was one of the books that made me start reading on my own and not just feel like I had to. I would recommend this to any younger child to get them to start to love reading as well as to teach them about a variety of different issues.

An espionage novel, based in times of war and about the freedom of a country left to fend for itself. Very thrilling with non-stop action and sexual tension.

The main character is so funny. I love how this book is written, I really think Abigail is a great character and I plan on reading all the books in the series. I love sarcastic women, I can't help it.
