Monster, by Walter Dean Myers.æ Monster is written in the form of a movie
script. It is written as it happens and includes the fade in's, music and
credits. I love this book because it is so realistic and the reader can create
a picture in their mind. I think it would make a great movie and hope it is
one day formed into one. But read the book first because it gives the reader
the feeling that they are their experiencing everything that happens.

I just finished a book called Speak.æ The author was Laurie Halse Anderson.æ But
this book wasn't like the rest.æ It was about a teenage girl that had gotten rape
and nobody knew about it.æ I really connected with this girl in the story.æ I
think that's why I really loved the story. The girl in this book was just an ordinary
girl.æ Not like most books where some of the characters are rich and sexy.æ This
girl was just the opposite.æ She never got attention, and I think that is why
the book appealed to me so much.æ This book also showed the darkness of High School.æ
If you want a sad, disturbing but at some times very happy and understanding book,
Speak is the one for you.

Francesca Lia Block will forever be my favorite author. I've never read anything
that even comes close to her amazing way of writing. I hope to write as well and
as thought provoking as her. In some ways i believe i do since i have yet to have
soemone leave reading soemthing written by her without a comment ... and the same
goes for my poetry. I'd love to enter your next search for an author. But in the
meantime i suggest everyone read at least one thing the amazing francesca lia
block has written

I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.æ It was
amazing.æ Very intelligent, very profound.æ I suggest you at least take a look.

Author: Chris Bohjalian
Book: Buffalo Soldiers, The Law of Similars, Trans-Sister Radio.
I believe
that Bohjalian really puts you into the the story, he brings about feelings
that alot of authors can not.æ His work is eloquent yet realistic.æ All three
books are a great read.
