Go Ask Alice by Anonymous

The book Go Ask Alice by Anonymous is one of my new favorite books ever. I have read biographies before but none were like this; in this book you never learn the girl’s name. Anyway this young woman lives a normal life until she has to move. In her new home town she makes a new friend with a girl who invites her to a party. At the party someone slips LSD in her drink, after that one sip it seems like her whole life becomes all about drugs and she becomes despite to get them. In the spirit of not ruining the ending for you ill just end this blog with saying that this book is awesome in every sense of the word. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Cut by Patricia Mccormick

The book Cut by Patricia Mccormick is to me a depressing book. Usually I try to veer away from reading books like these because of how sad it is. It’s about a girl named Callie who it seems lives a normal life. At home though it’s a bad situation, her brother who a serious asthma condition that causes him to have sever attacks because of it. She blamed herself for the attacks and would cut herself to get rid of the pain. She would do this when her parents were asleep. Before she knew it she was caught and sent to Sea Pines the correctional Facility for girls were she had the worst time of her life. I don’t want to give t much away because that would ruin the “fun” of reading the book at all. Though for me it is a tough read I think others will enjoy this book.

The Wall....The Nazi take over

I left of last time with only knowing what was going to happen because of the back of the book. I only understood that the fought against Nazi tyranny in their own town. As I read it was clear that the Nazis weren’t even there, but they still were affecting the people psychologically. Well this was only true for some though. It wasn’t until the Nazis were telling all the people to leave there homes, they also told them that they can no longer work at stores or go to public school. The people of the town don’t know what to do, and I’m curios what is going to make the people snap enough to revolt against the Nazis; I personally can’t wait.

The Wall

The new independent reading book that I decided to read is a play call “The Wall” by Millard Lampell. This book is set during the Second World War; it’s about Jewish hardships in a town named Warsaw. I haven’t gotten far enough in the play to really get a feel of were its going; I’m only on page 20 after all. Anyway I think that this is going to be an interesting story, many have told me that this play is great but because they didn’t want to ruin the ending for me they didn't say much else. I cant wait to see how it ends.

Can't we get along

The book Five People You Meet in Heaven has a great message, to me the best message of any book I have ever read. The message of this amazing book is that everything we do in life, as Isaac Newton said, every action in life has an equal opposite reaction. We need to learn that everything we do could affect someone else’s life and could change or even as depicted in the book end someone’s life. We need to, as people, live life better and conduct ourselves as better people; not just with people were close with us but with everyone.

Five People You Meet In Heaven......Birthdays

While Mitch Albom tells he story of his journey through heaven, there are side stories about Eddie’s, the main character in the book, birthday parties. The stories go from when he is very young to when he gets old. Each one starts with the title, Its Eddie’s Birthday, and it tells a little bit about that day. Its never a happy story usually it usually has a little bit of good and a little bit of bad taste as well. It shows you that even a great day cold be spoiled by a stupid mistake or a stupid person. You’ll see what I mean when you read the book.

Have a Little Faith......Mitch's Childhood

As well as telling the story of Henry and the present story he also tells the story about his life growing up with the “Reb”, which is the nick- name for the rabbi that he is doing the eulogy for. He calls him the “Reb” because when he was a child that is what they would call him; he was tall, tough looking, and was down right scary to him as a child. He at this point in his life can’t believe how much has changed; The “Reb” is a completely different person. Now being much older, the “Reb” is much less of an opposing force. Though I haven’t finished the book yet, it’s obvious that through out the book he learns more about the “Reb” and more about himself then he ever knew. I cant wait to see what happens in the end.
