Adrift by Steve Callahan

I really enjoyed this book, it was a survival story about Steve Callahan who gets in a shipwreck buy an unknown object. He then had to survive 76 days out in sea, the book was basically like life of Pi but much harder and this book seemed more realistic. There were more storms and fishing wasn't such a walk in the park as it was in life of Pi. And there was much more action and the same amount of background about the guy and what he had been doing prior to the wreck and how he got into it. All in all I really liked this book, and if you like a little realistic, action than this is the book for you.

Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher

This book was really depressing, as Hannah the narrator of the suicide tapes tells us about the thirteen reasons why she killed herself we learn more about the thirteen different people and about the main charter Clay. I really couldn't tell when the movie was set, they had walk mans but also cellphones so I'm guessing the nineties. It was really sad listening to all of the terrible things that all of the people did to Hannah, and there was a lot of emotion in this book which was something I picked up on pretty fast. Anywho, I really liked the book and I read his other book The Future of Us, so he is a good writer who likes writing about girls and their problems.

Journey to the Center of the Earth - Jules Vern

This was an awesome book, it had adventure and action. The plot was so amazing, the creativity that it took to come up with this book was amazing. Considering this book is a hundred years old, Vern did a great job. Basically Axel and his uncle Professer Lindenbrock decode this message left by Arne Saknussemm which tells of volcanic tubes that go down to the center of the earth. They travel to Iceland where they meet a guide know as Hans and travel to the mountain of Sneffels. They travel almost 60 miles beneath the surface of the Earth and find the most surprising thing.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good adventure story

The Future of Us

This book is about a sixteen year old girl, Emma, who gets a new computer from her dad, her friend gives her a CD-ROM. When Emma gets on the internet she is instantly logged into face book, but Facebook hasn't been invented. She can see the posts and information about people, fifteen years into the future. Now Emma can see her future husband and all of her friends, their jobs and spouses in the future.

I thought this book was really good, it was well written and the plot was well developed. The characters were really believable and weren't, I felt, stereotypical teenagers. I thought how even when she thought she was going to go to a different college, because she was a junior, it changed her entire future. I would really recommend it.
