This book follows the storytelling of Percy Jackson and his take on the Olympians.

This book is great. It is family-friendly even with adult topics and it makes learning fun and entertaining.

Guy Montag is a fireman who lives in a society in which books are illegal. His job is not to extinguish fires, but to light them. People of Montag's world takes no interest in politics or world issues. The only point of life is pleasure. It isn't until Montag meets a young girl named Clarisse that he realizes that there might be more to life. Clarisse makes him thinking about the world beyond the wall television and seashell radios; she makes him wonder about life.

Overall, a okay book. It was slow at times and while reading, I never really wanted to finish the book, and the only reason I finished was because a) it's really popular (and a semi-classic) and b) it was for a school assignment.

Brave New World is a novel set in a dystopian society where sex and drugs are reinforced from childhood. Despite the happiness of most people, one man feels distant and has a desire for a different kind of society: one of the past.

This book was okay, the beginning was slow but after a few chapters, the pace quickened. The idea of the book was there, but I felt the execution wasn’t the greatest.

The story follows Antigone, trying to help prevent her brothers from killing each other, but they are already dead. One of them is buried gracefully, but the other is not. The story follows as Antigone tries to illegally bury her other brother.

An okay story, not one of my favorites and it was hard to read. (Oedipus the King was better.)

The L.A. Candy series is about four young women coming of age in front of everyone, on reality TV. As the series goes on, drama piles on and secrets are inevitable.

When I first started reading the series, I fell in love. The series is totally binge-worthy and although it took me a while to get my hands on the third book, I still very much enjoyed continuing. This series has to be one of my all time favorites.

The Airhead series is about a girl's life after she has an accident and her brain is transplanted into a supermodel's body. As she lives her new life, she discovers secrets her boss is keeping.

I absolutely love the Airhead series, but like most trilogies, the third and final book wasn't as good as the first. Although the book was good, I felt that it lacked in action and was not as it could have been.

Everything, Everything follows a girl with an illness that prevents her from living her life fully. After meeting someone new, she decides to get out of her comfort zone (figuratively and literally).

From the moment I started the book, I was fascinated. This book is great and I enjoyed reading it. The fact that it has these extra details/doodle adds so much to it (figuratively and literally)!

In this An Enemy of the People, Ibsen places his main character, Dr. Thomas Stockmann, in the role of an enlightened and persecuted minority of one confronting an ignorant, powerful majority. For his honesty, he is persecuted and declared an "enemy of the people".

The book is thought-provoking and gives the reader insight on tough choices people in high ranking positions have to make. Overall, not a bad book, but not one of my favorites.

The book follows a middle schooler named Greg Heffley. The book is centered around going old school and electronic-free. As the story unfolds, you follow Greg living with his problematic family and a camping trip.

The book is okay, a classic "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book.
