The Enclave

The Enclave

By: Ann Aguirre

This book is about a post apocalyptic world, where all of the sane people live below ground, away from the "harmful sun and rain" that will burn your skin off, and leave nothing more than bones, and you are lucky to live to 25. Rigid rules surround the "enclaves" where the people live: you only have a name if you live to 15, when you reach 15 you are either a Breeder, a Builder, or a Hunter, any artifacts from the old world must be turned in, otherwise you are banished from the enclave, and are left to fend for yourself - and to battle the Freaks. The Freaks are mindless, ferocious monsters, and if one of them dies, they are eaten by another Freak. But suddenly the Freaks are developing cunning, and strategies never seen before by the enclaves. Deuce and Fade, the main characters, investigate, and try to warn the elders of the enclave of this, but to no avail. Suddenly a turn of events sends Deuce and Fade topside, where all of the things Deuce has been taught are contradicted. Perceptions change, and Deuce tries to absorb that all she's ever known, is lost...

Rating: 4/5 Violence: PG-13, Nothing really graphic, but Deuce and Fade are Hunters, and they have to protect themselves Sexual Content: PG-13, a few kisses, and there are some discussions about sex, but nothing really big Language: G none whatsoever

This was actually a better book than I thought it was going to be. When I bought the book, it had "recommended for people who like the Hunger Games" I haven't read the Huger Games yet, because I heard its a sad book, so I was like, 'No, this is gonna be a bad book, because it said that. But I read it anyways, and I liked it. Its not at all sad, and was definitely well written. Not enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, and reading until 4 am, but pretty good. I will say that I can't wait for the sequel!!

Twilight

Twilight

By: Stephanie Myers

So it was what, probably the hottest book out there last year. It was a pretty good book I'll have to admit. I do recomend this to you if you enjoy vampires, Pride & Prejudice. This is Stephanie Meyer's version of Pride & Prejudice, and I much prefer this version. Just remember, there is only one Edward for all of us, and we need to wait for him, no matter how much we hate to.
Rating: 3.5/5

Language:PG-13, nothing too strong

Sexual Content: A kiss every now and then, nothing more

Violence: PG-13, there's a battle, and a couple killings, and one more at the end of the book

Excerpt taken from the back of the Twilight Book.

About three things I was absolutely positive

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him–and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be–that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games

By: Suzanne Collins

Summer Reading 2011(SR2011)

Could you survive on your own in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? Winning means fame and fortune. Loosing means certain death.

For Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen, the end of her life has surely came-the Hunger Games, where two 'tributes', a boy and a girl from each of the twelve districts fight to the death until only one stands, aired on live television for all of the districts entertainment. Katniss has been expecting this though, especially since her name has been entered to participate in the games ever since she was twelve, on more than one occasion. But what she didn't expect was for her twelve year old sister, Prim to be chosen, since it was only her first time entering. So she does what anyone else has rarely done-volunteer to take her place. When she finds out her partner for the games is a boy who saved her family's life when she was young, she is torn between befriending him or alienating him, because either way one of them will have to die. Now that her only options are fight or flight, Katniss must do whatever it takes to win the games and return home to her sister and her mother. The Hunger Games have began.

Violence-A LOT. They are fighting to the death after all. Really not for the squeamish. PG-13

Language-For a very violent book, it's surprisingly child-friendly.

Sexual Content-There's like none. Except for a few kisses, but that doesn't really count....

Rating-5 out of 5 stars

The only reason I read this book was because everyone else was reading it. People kept telling me how good it was and that I needed to read it, so reluctantly (it didn't sound like what I typically read) I checked it out and started reading it. About 10 pages into the book, i fell in love with it. I could not put it down, literally. No matter where I was, walking up the stairs, in the car, watching TV, I read it whenever I could. So if you haven't read it, I recommend you do. Now in the process of becoming a major motion picture!
