Born to Run

it was so upsetting. I can't read that again.

This is a story about a girl named Ginny having a very cool but sloppy aunt. Everything was going fine until her aunt disappeared one day. Everyone thought that she passed away. Only Ginny still believed that her aunt was still out there somewhere. She found 13 envelopes that her aunt left for her so she could follow the steps, more like accomplishing a mission for her aunt. The envelopes were meant to be read one by one in order. In the first envelope, it told Ginny all the rules to follow and what to bring on her trip. So she ended up living in a guy's (Richard) house in England searching for an artist to give money to after picking up a package at a Chinese looking house in New York.

Sputnik Sweetheart - Murakami Haruki

This book is very emotional but confusing sometimes. It switches to different characters point of view sometimes without you noticing. This is a book you need to read twice or even more to understand its implicit meaning. Honestly, there are some parts that I don't understand even now. I've read the novel called "Norwegian Wood" from this author and it encourages me to read his next book which is this one. There were a lot of romance in this one and a bit of psychological elements which is mostly the same as his previous works. However I think is book is too confusing and difficult.

Even so, I think is is very successful as it gave the readers a lot of affects. Such as for the part where one of the characters was having psychological trauma and was suffering painfully, I as the reader could also feel the headache as I was reading through the lines of description and flashbacks. This book is okay but I think it will requires a lot of your patience if you are reading it.

Scorpia

This is the fifth Alex RIder book, and the fourth one I reviewed, so Ill get right to the plot.

It starts with Alex on a school trip in Venice, but secretly looking for 'Scorpia', by the last words of Yassen Gregovitch. Yassen also revealed another truth as he lay dying- Alex's father was an assassin. He manages to find Scorpia, he is almost killed, but manages to get away. He later manages to get back to them, and discovers it is a terrorist organization, which his ather, John Rider, worked for. He joins them, throwing all traces of the M16.

I like this book, it is the best 'Alex Rider' book, because of the complexity of the plot. I would rate it a 8.7/10.

The book starts of continuing from Skeleton Key therefore if you want to read this book and find out what Alex Rider is all about... You have to read the first book from the series.

Alex Rider - Crocodile Tears

"Crocodile Tears" is the latest book in Anthony Horowitz's series --"Alex Rider".

The gradual build of danger from the previous missions had set a sole desire in Alex's mind; he wanted to leave. Leave the world that suppressed what he really was. Leave the world that forcefully dragged him in. Leave the world that now called for his help "for the last time".

The shadows of MI6 stalked his soul where ever he walked; where ever he was. To be honest, he thought nothing of it, as long as his secret was safe. So that he would remain hidden among the stars; never eager to shine in fame.

As if misfortune read his mind, a journalist appears at his door. "I know who you are" -- these words shattered his mind. And now, he has no choice but to turn around to the existence that started it all. Of course, to keep his identity unknown, MI6 requests for one "last" mission.

A nuclear explosion in India had been redeemed as an accident. But MI6 knew otherwise. Set undercover to once again spoil the plot of a previous enemy, he will face an organisation that fooled the face of the world.

What will become of the world that now rests on Alex's shoulders? And will Alex no longer be known as a "teenage boy"?

The Martian Chronicles

This book is an interesting book, and it has some interesting morals and ideas in it. The book takes place over 27 years, and it is not connected, but short stories within the same alternate future.

The story starts in 1999, on earth, where a group of astronaughts are preparing to go to mars. They are quickly killed by the native martians, beings with golden skin and eyes. However, eventually, the humans accidentally mange to kill almost all the martians, and so the colonization of mars begins...

This book is very good, as it has some deep ideas in it, that you have to read between the lines to find out. I like it, and I would rate it 9/10.

Code Talker By Joseph Bruchac

This book is a about a young Native American boy (from the Navajo tribe) who was shipped of to military school. The story was set back in the year 1942 where World War 2 was happening at the moment. The young boy then feels what it is like to be a soldier where big guys always tell you what to do and very hard tasks which leads to exhaution and quick loss of energy.

In this story the boy graduates from military school and then shipped of to famous battles areas like "The battle of Guadalcanal and The battle of Iwo Jima".

I think Joseph Bruchac did a very good job of writing this book. It had many action and you can imagine what it is like in those Japanese controled islands.

For those looking for action books, I think that this book is the best for you.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

This book tells the story of Hugo Cabret, an apprentice of the city's Timekeeper. Every morning after the day the Timekeeper disappeared Hugo would check the clocks to keep the right time. That is, until he found the automaton. He found the machine amongst the rubble of the museum that had burnt down. Being good with his hands, he had tried to fix it with his father's notbeook (that had the instructions to fix the automaton) and mechanical parts that he stole from the toy booth outside the station. Things got complicated when he was caught and had the notebook taken from him by the toy booth owner. From then on, his mission was to try and get back his notebook while also trying to fix the automaton. But like a good plot, this story doesn't go as smoothly as that....
