Student Review - The Lost Hero




Book Title: The Lost Hero

Book Author: Rick Riordan

Reviewer:  McKenna Young

Why would you recommend this book? It had you off the edge of your seat and you never wanted to stop reading. After the 1st book you had to start the 2nd one immediately because it got you so curious about what would happen next.

What did you like about the book? Everything, the plot, the setting, the characters, the feeling it gave you. You know it's just fantasy but it feels so real, you feel like you are one of the characters in the book. It makes you think you are there experiencing everything that the characters are.

What did you dislike about the book? Honestly, nothing, I loved every little detail about the book. It was just so exciting.

Final thoughts about the book? If you love Greek Mythology or any kind of Mythology this is the book for you. If you love being on the edge of your seat and feeling what the characters feel and experience what they do, this is the book for you. I would give it 5 out of 5 stars!

Student Review of Life As We Knew It


Book Title: Life as We Knew It

Book Author: Susan Beth Pfeffer

Reviewer:  Courtnie Stone

Why would you recommend this book? I would recommend this book because it has a really good concept and makes you think about how lucky you are and not to take things for granted.

What did you like about the book? I liked the idea of the book, with the moon being knocked out of orbit and the whole world changing because of it, and I liked the way it was written, which was in a diary form.

What did you dislike about the book? I didn't really like how her sentences were kind of dull and that some parts were exaggerated a little too much and too long.

Final thoughts about the book? I loved the book because of the overall idea of it; it is about something you generally wouldn't think would happen. I wish the book had some more exciting events and not as much time in between exciting events.
