Hello everybody as you can see on the post title I read the Help.Normally I read books for young adult bt recently I felt a little tired on reading books for young adult so for a change of pace i decided to read The Help.
The Help is a book written by Kathryn Stockett.It was published in 2009 and receive absolutely positive reviews.
The Good
.Absolutely great characters(To the main 3 characters to Hilly,Celia and even Skeeter's Mom)
.An absolutely amazing story that will make you feel like crying and laugh numerous times.
.Really nice cover (to me it really suites the story)
The bad
.There is nothing bad I can say except I really hoped that Celia's backstory would be more explored.
Quick summary
The Help is set in Jackson Mississippi around the 1960s.There are three main characters The white outcast Skeeter,The Help with great cooking skill but likes to talk back about her clients Minny and Aibileen the Help who is now raising her 17th Child.The story is told revolving around the three main characters.Skeeter just return from college and was suprised to find her help Constantine was fired she doesn't like how her friends treat their Help and decided to write about what does the Help thinks about their employer.Minny is now working for Ms Walters an old lady who is quite deaf but one day gets fired by Ms Walter's daughter by accusing her of stealing Silver.Lastly is Aibileen who is now taking care of her 17th child but she feels depressed since her son jst died and how the employer is treating their Help.Together the three women tries to make a change in their town........I guess that's the end of the summary.
The conclusion
When I was deciding what book to read I looked at the bookstore's shelves and found myself attracted by the cover.I hear do of the book before ofcourse but I really never tried to bother since I normally read young adult type of books.Anyway I decide to buy it and thought to myself it might be great book and I was definitely wrong The Help is an absolutely amazing book.Supplied with great story and more amazing characters it is an absolutely muust read book.To me the ending felt a little sad,the main characters does have a kind of good ending but it feels more like a bitterswweet ending.What I'm trying to say eventhough the have a good ending I still feel sorry for them but I guess in real life a truly happy ending never really happens.

White Cat
Hello every body last week I read a book called White Cat.It is a book Written by Holly Black(yes the one who co write the Spiderwick series).It was published in 2010 and receive Positive reviews.
The Good
.As the Story goes on it becomes better
.Interesting World
The Bad
.The book has a weak start.
.Didn't quite like characters
Quick Summary
Cassel comes from afamily of workers(people who have the ability to change or alter memories,Emotion,Luck and so on with just a touch)but unfortunately he is not a worker so basically he is a normal kid counting out the time he thought he killed his best friend.Eversince that he tries to be normal but one day when he found himself waking up on the school rooftop...........................That's all I guess.
The conclusion
To methe book started real slow and a boring,not to mention some dull characters but if decide to read on,the story will become more intersting pluswith a not so bad ending.To tell you the truth I really tried liking the book since a lot of my friend does but to me it is just an average book not to bad not to good.So now I'm thinking why in the world did my friends said this is a must read.There can only be two answers it is either on ourdifferent taste on book or perhaps they have been worked.

Marks
Some of you might wonder how in the world does my marking system works some times getting a 10 may not mean that it is a perfect book to me but some part of the book is too great or special to me that it overshadows the negative so sometimes eventhough I may ive it a 10 it probably has some flaws.
1-3 Completely horrible
4-5 It is a bad book
6-7 Okay
8-9 Great
10 Simply amazing
remember eventhough i give it a bad reviews doesn't mean it is a bad book people say that the Blaze of Glory is a great book yet I gave it a 5 you have to read it yourself to know I just reccomend what is good to read in my opinion.

Siren
Siren is a book written by Tricia Rayburn.It was published in 2010 and receive some positive reviews.This is the first book of the series.
The good
.The story is really interesting.
.The characters support the story well.
The bad
.To me the ending feels to loose.
Quick summary
Vannessa is devastated when her sister Justine died and what's worth is that everybody thought it was an accident but she knew her sister would be that stupid so she decides to question Caleb(Justine's boyfriend)unfortunately when she arrives there she only found Simon(Caleb's big brother)so Vannesa and Simon decides to look for caleb together but as they continue to investagate men from Winter Harbor keeps dying with a smile on their face...Summary ends here
The conclusion
Siren is a really great book. ricia Rayburn writes the story well sometimes the story does go a little bit awry and the ending was pretty loose but with the support of the characters,Siren is a book that is as hypnotizing as the Siren in the book now I can only hope that the sequel is as good.

13 days till Midnight
Hello everybody this I read 13 Days till Midnight.It is a book written by Patrick Carman and it was published on 2010.It receive a lot of positive reviews.
The good
.Great leading characters
.I really like the how the story starts,how it forms in the middle and how it ends(so basically I've got no complaints on how the story is written
The bad
.It feels too short
.I really hoped character liked Ethan showed up more
.While I like Ophelia when you arrive at the middle part of the book she became a little annoying but after a while she becomes okay again.
Quick summary
Jacob took a break from school for a week since his stepfather died in a car accident.While he was gone there is a new girl name Ophelia that came to the school.After he came to school the first person he meets is Milo his best friend which tells him that a new girl had come to theschool.When he met her he was................That's all I can give.
The conclusion
The book kept asking the same question If you could have 1 superpowers what would you choose and if you do have them what wold you do,this is the question that Jacob keep asking himself since he feels guilty because the death of his step father.13 days till midnight is a great book the characters is really interesting and the story flows well.Jacob is a really likable character he ponders on two questions yet we knows that he won't get that answer that easily yet to me it shows that Jacob is just like any other person.
