War Horse By: Michael Morpurgo

Ivy has review for you! War Horse by Michael Morpurgo. For those of you have seen the movie but havent red the book or vis versa, the book isn't the same as the movie. It has many simular parts but isn't word for word.


WHAT IS IT ABOUT: It is 1914, the start of World War I. Joey, a farm horse is sold to the army and put on the Western War Front. As Joey is sent off he misses his Albert, the farmers son, he was forced to leave behind. The beautiful red-bay horse is trained to charge the enemy, drag heavy artillery, and carry woulded soliders off the battle feild. Amongst the gun sounds, and while pulling carts through cold mud, Joey wonders if the war will ever end and will he every see his Albert again.
WHAT I LIKED: I liked that most of the people in the book were nice to the horses.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Even though I know it is based on a true story, I hate that alll those horses and men had to die.
FAVORITE CHARACTER: All the horses. They did so much, from pulling carts, carrying the men, and so much more, they stayed strong.
LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER: I don't know. Because it was a war and all. There wasn't really a side or person a disliked.
FAVORITE SCENE: (SPOILER ALERT) That Joey and Albert were reunited.
LEAST FAVORITE SCENE: There was one horse that was friends with Joey, the scene where he died.
AGE I WOULD RECCOMEND: I think like 13. Just because of the fighting and the horse dying.
RATING: 5 out of 5 stars.

I loved this book! I saw the movie as well and was so excited to read the book! I would strongly urge you to read the book.

LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER: The abusive husband.
FAVORITE SCENE: I liked the scene when Cheyenne was teaching Zoey how to play the piano.

Hana by Lauren Oliver Review

Hi guys! This is Lily posting. :) Today I have a review for you on the novella to Delirium by Lauren Oliver. It's called Hana. This book is pretty much Delirium but from Hana's POV, sort of like the unpublished Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer is like Twilight but from Edward's POV. To see my review of Delirium by Lauren Oliver, click here. I could find this book avabile on Amazon for my Kindle, so I just got that. I'm not sure if it's available in a paperback or hardcover copy.

WHAT THE BOOK WAS ABOUT: It's pretty much Delirium but from Hana's POV. It starts off in the middle of Delirium though, not at the beginning.
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT: I liked how it was told from Hana's POV and you got to see and learn more about Hana.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: I didn't like how some of the events in that (also happened in Delirium) we're not included or were very minimal. Also it was very short, the estimated pages is only 63. I would of loved to read more from Hana's POV.
MY FAVORITE CHARACTER: In this one, Hana.
MY LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER: Whatever her matches name is, I can't remember his name.
MY FAVORITE SCENE: When Hana meets Alex and Lena in the stock room at the Stop N Save.
MY LEAST FAVORITE SCENE: The golfing scene, I thought that scene was boring.
WHAT AGE I WOULD RECOMMEND IT FOR: Twelve and up, maybe thirteen and up. There is lots of kissing and hand holding (one brief sentence that talks about more then that, but nothing actually happens), there might be some alcohol drinking (I can't remember for sure) and characters sneak out past curfew plenty of times.
RATING OUT OF FIVE: Five! I loved this book just as much as I loved Delirium.


Thanks for reading and I HIGHLY recommend the entire trilogy, the second book in the series I will review tomorrow. :)

Delirium by Lauren Oliver Review

Hi everyone! Lily blogging here! =) Today I have a review for you on the book Delirium by Lauren Oliver.

WHAT THE BOOK WAS ABOUT: In this futuristic dystopian novel, everybody thinks that love is a disease. Scientists have found a cure to amor delira nervosa, where they cut into part of your brain and then when you wake up from the surgery you're cured. You cannot feeling loving (or hating) emotions anymore. Everybody on their 16th or 18th birthday (I can't remember which one!) gets the cure, and just before then they get evaluated and matched with partners that they are to marry and start a family with once they cured. Being with uncured boys (or girls) is a deadly crime. Uncured's have a strict curfew. In this world, people cannot listen to music unless it's approved by the government, read books unapproved by the government (ie, Romeo and Juliet, all types of poetry, etc.) Lena believes in all this. Until she meets Alex. When she realizes that her whole entire life is a lie, everything she's been told, everything she knows is a lie.
WHAT I LIKED: I liked the characters, Lena, Hana, Alex and everybody. It was a very good story and I thought the plot was very interesting. I loved it, adding it to my list of top favorites.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The author left chapters at cliffhangers. It was really annoying because she would end one chapter with a cliffhanger, and then start the next chapter with some memory from the fourth grade or something. So that was annoying. The ending I didn't like either. It was horrible! I seriously cried for like ten minutes (we were driving in the car) and my family was like, "why are you crying?" I was sobbing "it can't end like this! It's horrible, so sad!" I don't normally cry in books, this marks one of two books I've ever cried in. I went into the book thinking, how is she going to make me convinced that love is a disease? When I came out I was half and half, I understood half why it would be and half why it wouldn't be. If she had convinced me a little more I would of loved it even more. Although it is in my top ten favorite books now. :)
MY FAVORITE CHARACTER: Oooh! Tough one! Probably Lena, but Hana and Grace aren't far behind, and neither is Grace!
MY LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER: Aunt Carol, I'm sorry but I just didn't like her all that much.
MY FAVORITE SCENE: I don't know. I loved all of the book so much!
MY LEAST FAVORITE SCENE: The ending scene! I hated that. I'm not going to spoil that much, but if you are like half way through the book or something, I recommend skipping this little part. Why did (Insert character name here) have to die?!?!?! I just thought that was a stupid choice by the author although she must have a reason for it.
WHAT AGE I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR: Twelve and up, maybe thirteen and up because there is some swearing in it. Lots of kissing between two characters and one character takes a guys shirts off. There is illegal music and books read, and some characters sneak out past curfew to parties (where this alcohol but not a lot is said about that.)A girl get's bitten by a dog and her leg is bleeding, but certainly not nearly as violent as The Hunger Games.
WHAT I RATE THE BOOK: Five out of five stars!


I have already read the novella and sequel and will get those reviews up soon. Thanks for reading!

I Survived The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 By: Lauren Tarshis Review

Hey! One more book that I finished in an hour! So I have to tell you about it!


WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT: George must be the luckiest ten year old boy around. Why? Because he gets to ride the unsinkable Titanic around. His aunt is taking him and his little sister, Phoebe, with her. Then the unthinkable happens. The Titanic hits and iceberg and water rushes in. George and his family is stranded in the middle of the ocean, on a sinking ship. He's always gotten out trouble before... but how will he survive this?
WHAT I LIKED: I liked that the author put some real facts about the ship and the things that actually happened in the book.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: How so many people died. I know that the author didn't add that in and that it's actually true. I still think its sad.
RATING: I would give it a 4. I liked it.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by: Jeff Kinney Review

Hey! Poppy here! I recently read a book called: Diary of a Wimpy Kid by: Jeff Kinney. You've heard of it right?? Anyways, I will tell you all about it.



WHAT THE BOOK WAS ABOUT: Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg Heffley. His mom bought him this "diary" so that he can write his feelings down for his first year of junior high. However, Greg doesn't like this idea at all. As he says, "Just don't expect me to be all "Dear diary this," and "Dear diary that."
WHAT I LIKED: I liked that it's written in like an actual notebook form. Like it has those line things like notebooks have. And it also sounds like completely true of what Greg say happens to him and everything.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:  Sometimes there was some things that wasn't very nice in it.
FAVORITE CHARACTER:  I love his best friend, Rowley!!! He seems so cool and if he was actually real, I would have out with him. I also like his little brother.
LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER: His older brother. He seemed so mean.
RATING: I'd probably give this a 3. Because it obviously a boyish book and that sort of thing.

Dad By Choice By: Marie Ferrarella Review

Ivy here! I have a new review! Dad By Choice By: Marie Ferrarella




WHAT IS IT ABOUT: Abby Maitland, was born into a "rich" family. She is a maternity docter, at her family hospital. She was used to living a quiet life, but when a misterous baby shows up on the door step of Maitlend Maternity Hospitail, life has turned up-side-down.  Kyle McDermott, knew that raising his sister wouldn't be easy, but he didn't expect to have to help raise her child. Kyle only thinks one way, his way, so you would think that Marcie, Kyle's sister should marry her baby's father right. No, Marcie won't. Abby now has to try to stop rummors about the baby while Kyle is pressing her to talk her young patient into an unwanted marriage. But after a while, Kyle and Abby start to have feelings for each other.
WHAT I LIKED: I liked that Abby and Kyle, learn to help each other. And I liked how Marcie told her brother that she could make her own choices.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: It's part of a series so I'm left hanging. And also there were three parts that I had to skip. I did NOT read them but I am sure that they did not need to be in that book. There was also a little bit of swearing.
FAVORITE SCENE: I liked when Abby had to protect the baby from a newspaper guy.
LEAST FAVORITE SCENE: There was this one person in the book and she was swearing a bit.
FAVORITE CHARACTER: Marcie and the unknown baby.
LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER: This one character named Janelle. She was so evil. SPOILER ALERT, she was the one involved with the mystery baby.
STARS RATING: Since the bad parts and swearing I would say like 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
AGE I WOULD RECCOMEND: I would say like 13-14. No younger, just becouse it talks about doctor stuff, like all of the technical stuff so it might be harder to understand. And the bad parts that you have to skip.

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins Review

Hi guys! Lily here again! Recently I finished the second book of the The Hunger Games Trilogy, Catching Fire. I read the first book back in October, and started Catching Fire the first week of November or so, but I had to put it down for a few months while I was really busy. I had a lot of other books to read, I had book club books and books I wanted to read before they were due back at the library and everything. So I finally finished Catching Fire and am posting a review on it.

WHAT THE BOOK WAS ABOUT: I'm not really going to say since this is the second book and I don't want to spoil anything.
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THE BOOK: I'm going to be honest and say that the first 100 pages or so were boring to me. They didn't make much sense. And then one day I got to reading it a bit more and then the plot changer kicked in. It was awesome. I loved reading it.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT THE BOOK: It took me literally months to get into it, about 100 pages or so. But then again I skip over a lot of detail and probably missed something.
MY FAVORITE SCENE:  The plot changing scene. I'm not going to spoil anything, but lets just say it's a shock.
MY LEAST FAVORITE SCENE: One of the beginning scenes, I dunno which one, but the beginning of the book wasn't very exciting.
MY FAVORITE CHARACTER: (SPOILER ALERT)Katniss and Peeta.
MY LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER: Finnick. Even if he was a good guy I still hate that character.
WHAT AGE I RECOMMEND THE BOOK FOR: 11 and up, maybe 12 depending on violence issues. Just like in the first one there are deaths and blood and everything but it's not like a horror movie or anything. There are some deaths but no overly disgusting details or anything.
RATING OUT OF FIVE: Once the plot kicked in 5, before that 3.

The Dirt by Lori Culdwell

Hi guys! Lily here! I recently read a book called The Dirt by Lori Culdwell.


WHAT THE BOOK WAS ABOUT:  Lucy's dad is about to get remarried, and the only reason she's excited is because once the wedding is over, she gets to move out of the dessert! The stupid place she's always hated. But when a mysterious girl crashes the wedding delivering some bad news, will Lucy still be able to go to her boarding school? Better off, will she want to go to boarding school still?
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THE BOOK: I liked how this family was famous and celebrities, but they seemed normal still. Like the Kardashians kind of, but the oldest girl in the family is still in high school.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT THE BOOK: The PG's that's just stupid that the NPG's put up with the PG's. I liked reading about it, but it's not very realistic. Also, you would think that Lucy's dad's wedding planner or whatever would of checked all the legal documents first and everything!
MY FAVORITE SCENE IN THE BOOK: I'm not exactly sure. Maybe when Sloane was giving Megan and Lucy makeovers and teaching them about fashion and beauty?
MY FAVORITE CHARACTER: Megan and Lucy are tied, I know it sounds weird to be on Megan's side, but I liked her as a character.
MY LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER: Well towards the end Sloane, but other then that probably Lisa.
WHAT I RATE THE BOOK: Four and a half stars out of five.
WHAT AGE I RECOMMEND THE BOOK FOR: Probably 13 and up, maybe 12. SPOILER ALERT: One character (not the main character)is accused of doing and drugs and is sent to jail but then released because they learn it's not her, it's a different character. But it's not like that's the premise of the story, just a small (maybe 2 chapter?) part.

Fools Rush In By: Janice Thompson Review

I recently read a book called: Fools Rush In By: Janice Thompson. So I will tell you about it. 




WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT: Bella Rossi's life is just starting to get interesting. When her Italian-turned-Texan parents hand over the family wedding-planning business, Bella quickly books a Boot-Scootin' wedding that would make any Texan proud. There's only one catch--she doesn't know a thing about country music. Where will she find a deejay on such short notice who knows his Alan Jackson from his George Strait? And will Bella ever get to plan her own wedding?
WHAT I LIKED: I liked how they talked ALOT about country music. Maybe that because I just LOVE country music??? :)
WHAT I DIDNT LIKE: I  didn't like how she kept talking in Italian and then she didn't tell you what she had just said.
RATING OUT OF FIVE STARS: 6!!! Again COUNTRY MUSIC!!
