I read the book night by Elies Wisels, and I enjoyed it, and it was one of my favorite books I've ever read in high school. My favorite part of the book is at the end when Elie went to the hospital after he was one of the people that survived the concentration camps and all the work that they put Elie and his family through with little to no food or water and after he was in a hospital for a few weeks he got out and wrote the book which I think is amazing after everything that happened.
ReplyDeleteI agree, this is for sure one of the top books I have read in a very long time.
DeleteI read this as my second book and i can also agree this was a very good book but it was very tough to read
DeleteIts amazing that he wrote the book after he lived through all of that stuff.
Deletemy favorite part of the book is aslo when elide gets freed.
DeleteThis sounds like a great book based on a true story.
DeleteDid you pick the story because you thought was interesting or from the history aspect? i like the history aspect of books and this book is something id like to read again. i was very happy he made it though the end and was able to persevere though it and write about it
DeleteHow did reading this book change your views on the Holocaust? I haven't read that book but I would be interested in reading and learning more about the events of the Holocaust.
DeleteI agree that night was one of the better books I read in highschool, it was a pretty interesting read.

ReplyDeleteI read the book Basher-Five Two and it was a very good book because I learned about the Air force also cool to see how Scott survived in the woods for a week without water. my favorite part of the book was when they rescued Scott from the woods this was cool because I knew Scott was safe and he could go back home and visit his family that was worried about him. I would recommend this to people who likes to learn about US Air Force also would recommend it to people who like planes and love suspense.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book to read. Definitely interested in reading it myself!
DeleteDefinitely not my type of book but it seems interesting!
DeleteSeems like an interesting books did you like the army side of it or the survival part of the story? I think both would make the book an interesting read.
DeleteThis seems like a very interesting book to read with a lot of action. My book also had a lot of action in it, which kept me reading.
Deletethis sounds like a very good book.
DeleteI enjoyed the book a lot. At first I thought it was going to be a boring book, but after a few pages I got hooked on it and read the rest of it very quickly. It was fascinating learning about all of the challenges Elie and his father faced. I don't want to call it my favorite part of the book because it was very dark, but the most interesting part that I continue to kind of think about is in the beginning when he first got to the first camp an entire dump truck load of babies drove past, backed up to a pit that was on fire, and they started throwing the babies into the fire. The SS kept some of the babies so that they could throw them in the air and shoot them for target practice. Its just so wild that they were doing things like that without any hesitation and did not think they were doing anything wrong and it was justified. I would recommend this book to people that have a pretty thick stomach. It is definitely a tough book to read if you do not like reading about death and graphic things. But if you enjoy that kind of books, this is definitely a book for you!
ReplyDeleteI also found this book very fascinating to learn about someone's personal experience.
DeleteI also thought that it's amazing that he was able to survive and write about his experience.
DeleteI agree I didn't think I was going to like it, but it turned out to be a great book.
DeleteI did enjoy my book a lot because It kept my attention and I didn't want to put the book down. When Lew found out that her brother was murdered she did everything she could to help find who did it. When other things kept happening she never let it get to her and she kept pushing herself to do more. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that a student that likes a twist but I don't recommend this book to anyone that does not like reading about murder and stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good book. I wish I would of read it.
DeleteYour book sounds very interesting Rylie. Your book and mine are kind of alike. Mine had a murder that Kya was being tried for, but she was found not guilty. In your book they kept fighting to find out who killed her brother and that reminds me of my book because Chases mother was determined to have Kya put in jail for the murder of her son. Overall, your book does sound very interesting, and I would read it sometime.
DeleteI also enjoyed my book a lot and it kept my attention. I feel like I would like your book because it seems interesting.
DeleteI also enjoyed my book but I found that the plot was a bit predictable. However, your story sounds much more exciting and unpredictable, I would like to read it. What is your book called?
DeleteThis book sounds like my book because Shane goes missing and Nikki is determined to find out what has happened to him.
Deletethese books sound very interesting and like something i would enjoy.
Deletesounds like a book I would like.
DeleteThe book night is a book that i found very entertaining so i really enjoyed it. My favorite part is when Elie got freed and was a survivor but it was also bad because his dad didn't make it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to learn about the cruelty of the holocaust because this has a bunch of it.
ReplyDeleteI agree when Elie got freed it was the best part of the book.
DeleteMy favorite part was also when he got freed and lived to talk about it.
DeleteMy favorite part of the book was when Elie was freed from the prison camp.
DeleteThis book sounds very interesting, and very similar to my book. It is the same time area.

ReplyDeleteI read the book Night and I enjoyed it. It's one of my favorite books I've read in high school, I really liked the part when after how long of being worked and tortured Elie is finally freed. I would recommend this to people who like books about the holocaust.
ReplyDeleteI think that anyone who enjoys reading about history would enjoy this book also.
DeleteI read the book night and I liked it and found it intrestresting. My favorite part of the book was when at the end of the book when he got freed from the prison camp. I would recommend the book to someone who likes to read about history and read biographs
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed my book, The Carpenter by Jon Gordon. I would recommend it to anyone interested in business because it contains several educational lessons. Does your book have any "lessons" or things readers can learn from?
Deletei have always been very interested in history and while I wasn't able to read night as my second book, i think it is very interesting to read about a historical event feom the perspective of someone who is either very knowledgeable about that topic or was there and witnessed it.
DeleteI always wanted to know more about it, but I would probably get depressed about it.
DeleteI have always loved history and diddnt get to read Night yet. It sounds like a interesting book
DeleteI also found that to be my favorite part of the book when i read it.
DeleteI read the book Goodbye Perfect by Sara Barnard. Yes i did enjoy the book. The reason is that it was nice story between Eden and Bonnie. I got to meet Eden and everything she went though. I got told the story how she was adopted and fostered into the family she has today. I met her family with her two sisters and parents. The book was a lot more of Eden not only dealing with her best friend running away but also Bonnie's mom nagging at her. Police taking to her and everyone saying that they know that she does where Bonnie is she just promised her that she will not tell. Just very interesting and kept me wanting to read more to find out if Eden will spill or if just someone will find Bonnie and Mr. Cohn. Just an overall good book even though the end could of been little more interesting not just a hard stop. Just ended that Mr.Cohn went to jail and Bonnie and everyone go home but Eden and Bonnie never talked again. But Eden cam eclose to her not real sister which is good. Because they weren't before.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with the ending of the book that there could have been more to it. Your book was definitely interesting, but I think it sounded like a good book from our group meetings. I think a good section of people would like to read this book.
DeleteSince I read the book Where the Crawdad Sings honestly found it very interesting because of the way that Delia Owens (the author) wrote the book there was very much detail in it. Like when Kya would be looking at the bids, the different colors the bids are, how they acted and also what type of texture they were really good. It felt like you were right there looking at the bird and listening to it. I would recommend this book to someone who really likes to read mystery/murder but also a little romantic. I honestly think that even if you don't care for this genre, I feel like you would still like this book.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the movie and would like to read the book is it very action packed and something you get sucked into easily
DeleteMy book also had a lot of detail in it which grabbed my attention more so I think this book would be good to read if it pulls you in.
DeleteYour book really does sound very interesting i might have to look into it. From our meetings it does sound like a book that would have a lot of mystery and horror to it. I like when authors add a lot of detail to books in mine my author didn't add as much detail to my book. Your book really does sound like a good book though and i was not expecting the end.
DeleteI haven't read this book, however, I have heard many positive reviews of it. What is the main plot of this book?
Deletethe book I read was certainly going to be something i remember for a long time, it really made me think about my morality and what my farther in the future plans are i did knot know there were a lot of options that the book said. I think that funerals should be able to tell others of options of cheaper funerals and alternatives there are so many options that is good for the environment and to be basically immortalized. I love the little last will and testament prompt on the back as well as a book club section. Also the fun descriptions she had of the people she came across were hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHow would you like your remains to be treated after reading this book? Personally I wouldn't mind being cremated.
DeleteI enjoyed my book, because of the constant action in the book. I read Grenade by Alan Gratz and I specifically liked the parts were it told the same part of the story in the different perspectives of Ray and Hideki, like when they were in the school and Hideki was in the corner hiding and Ray took the picture off the wall. another part that was one of my favorites was when Hideki finally did find his sister and there was hope for them both. I would recommend this book for people who like to read war books and people who like constant action.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting book.
Deletei like reading books that involve action as it kind of hypes up the way you feel when reading the book and how i become more intrigued. (hunter fosdal)
DeleteDuring book talks your book sounded like it had a lot of action. I might have to read it sometime.
DeleteI enjoyed my book because it was interesting and always had my attention. I liked that it had flashbacks of Lia's life with Cassie because it helped me know what kind of person she was. I also liked how in depth the details were and made me feel like it was real life. My favorite part was at the end when Lia accepted help from her parents and doctors and wanted to get better so she could go back home to her little sister, Emma. I would recommend this book to those who like reading interesting books about experiences with mental health issues and eating disorders.
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting how she finally wanted help at the end and wanted to go home and see her little sister
DeleteMy book had also taken place at different times in their life past and present. My book also had so much suspense i wanted to just never put it down.
DeleteThis sounds like a very interesting book. It seems like it deals with some pretty difficult issues, but ones that need to be brought more awareness. My book deals with a pretty heavy topic as well . My book also includes flashbacks. The main character uncovers some old letters she had written about her first true love. The book will flashback to what life was like with her first love and what life is like in present day with her husband. My book was also very descriptive, which helped me as well. I'm glad you enjoyed your book.
DeleteI really enjoyed my book, The Girl who was Supposed to Die, I thought it was full of plot twists and it had murder mystery as well as a love story entangled in it. The only part of my book I disliked was towards the end the parents company came into the story and kind of took control. This company ended up being the main conflict in the story, however it hadn't even been mentioned until the last couple chapters. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone that likes mystery books.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy murder mystery and think that it's weird that the company was the main conflict but it hadn't been mentioned until the last couple chapters
DeleteI enjoyed this book when I read it. I think the company coming into the book made it make more sense.
Deletei read this book to it was very good and i agree they should have had more on the company.
DeleteI would have been very annoyed if what ended up being the major conflict was introduced at the end of the book and took over. How did it make you feel?
DeleteThis book sounded really interesting when we talked about it in the discussion groups, if you could rate the book what would you rate it.
Deletewhat part of your book really got you interested? its seems like a really good read, do you feel as though the book itself was really impactful?
Deletei enjoyed my book because it deals with having to deal with addiction, suicide, and family. my favorite part of the book is when Hayley saves her dad from committing suicide. i recommend this book to anyone who struggles with addiction and suicide because they are not alone in the world.
ReplyDeleteI think these topics are interesting for teenagers nowadays because I know a lot of people who started doing drugs in their adolescent years, and because mental health is a big issue with teenagers nowadays, the suicide aspect of this book makes things interesting
DeleteI read the book Reminders of Him and I really enjoyed it. My favorite part was when Kenna finally got to see her daughter and how the story ended with Kenna and Ledger having a kid together. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romance.
ReplyDeleteI read the book, The Carpenter by Jon Gordon. I enjoyed my book for the most part because of the lessons that are embedded within the story. I really enjoyed the message that Gordon spoke on regarding failure. In the story Micheal is struggling to manage his business and experiences failure, but when he turns to the carpenter for help, he assures him that success stems from failure. Overall, the story was kind of boring but that knowledge that Jon gives you while your reading is what led me to finish the book and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very interesting and very motivation. It seems like a book for people trying to find motivation in a sport.
DeleteI thought that the book "Night" was very good. It had a lot of detail and a lot of emotions in the short story. my favorite part of the book was how Elie's main reason for fighting to stay alive was his father. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading World War Two story's.
ReplyDeletewhile I didn't get the chance to read this as my second as i wasn't there. your description piques my interest towards it even more than a summary could as it seems like a very emotional story.
DeleteThis sounds like a interesting book to read and it seems like a lot of people enjoy reading this book. I hope I find some time to read this book so I can experience the story with my own eyes.
Deletei think this sounds like a very good book did it keep your attention throughout the entire book and would you recommend it to somebody who doesnt like to read. could you relate to the book in your own life.
DeleteI read the book the gunslinger which is the first book in the dark tower series from Stephen king. I really enjoyed this book. It builds a really intriguing world and incorporates it with very well written in depth characters. I would say my favorite part of the book was the large battle in Tull where the whole town is turned against and tries to kill Roland. I would recommend this book to anyone who really likes fantasy books.
ReplyDeletehow much gunslinging happens in this book
DeleteI enjoyed my book. It definitely hooked me and made it hard to stop reading. My favorite part was when Shelly got arrested for hurting her kids and for killing her best friend along with her nephew. I would recommend this book for people who like to read about true crimes. This book is a true story. The crime took place in Raymond Washington in 2004. This book is a sad book and I do not understand how a mother can hurt her kids the way Shelly did to hers.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this sounds like it would be a very hard read. That is very sad to hear about, and even more sad that it is based off of a true story. True crime books can be very interesting to read about, but can also be quite challenging at the same time. It's so hard to pinpoint to what could lead people to commit these heinous and unthinkable acts. It is truly heartbreaking. I'm glad you enjoyed this book though, what is it called?
DeleteI don't really like crime books, but this one sounds interesting to read, and with it being a true story I would like to see others point of views in the book.
DeleteI read the book Running Loose by Chris Crutcher and I really enjoyed reading it. I liked the combination of sports and the drama involved with high school. I liked when Louie talked about training for the football season, it reminded me of playing sports and trying to get better. I also liked how Louie stood his ground when he was put in tough situations. My favorite part of the book was when Louie flipped out on his coach after the coach had his team hurt the opposing team’s best player. This was my favorite part because this is when there was a change in the story, and it is where the action picked up. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes sports and anyone who wants to read about teenagers in high school.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read it I was really surprised at the ending. I thought that it was a solid 8.5/10 for a book I thought I wasn't going to enjoy.
DeleteI also thought this book was super good. I loved how Chris implemented so many emotions and feelings with all of the tramatizing things that Louie goes through. I
ReplyDeleteOne of my characters perspectives was out of her diary which helped her bring out a lot more feeling and emotion.
DeleteI enjoyed this book other than how the double perspective was laid out, it was confusing until I got further into it. One of my favorite parts was when Amy made friends at the lake house it helped add more suspense to if she was going to be found or not. My least favorite part was when she returned it got confusing and lost my attention. I would recommend this to anyone who is into the suspense and the toxic traits of relationships.
ReplyDeletei read the girl who was supposed to die and i really liked this book one of my favorite parts was when Candice locked the cop in the back of the cop car. this book made me want to keep reading it was hard to put down i would defiantly recommend this book to anyone that doesn't enjoy reading because this book makes you want to read.
ReplyDeleteI read Night and I enjoyed it because it was interesting, surprising and educational. It was always one horrible thing to the next and their was rarely a dull moment. I was surprised by how much the imprisoned jews went through because I was not very educated on the reality of what they went through. I am glad that I read this though since it taught me so much of what they had to bear each day. My favorite part was at the beginning where the family were all together not knowing their lives were about to be ruined. They were all somewhat happy and together, but after that they were split apart and it went downhill. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the halocaust or someone who wants to know more about what the jews went through while imprisoned.
ReplyDeleteI think I will read your book in the future because the things you said about Eli's father really stuck with me and I think it would be interesting to see how he slowly dies because You did say that it was a part that really stuck with you
DeleteI did enjoy my book, i didn't think I was going to finish it because of how disturbing the cat scene was in the begining but most of the book didn't feature animal abuse so I was fine. I think the other part of the book that disturbed me was the sexual assault, but jennifer had a way of dissasociating and shutting her brain off so she never goes into detail about it. I think my favorite part was when Coach Sherman was telling Dillon that he can't do anything about Stacy not liking him or about Jennifer's trauma. It really made me think how most of life is just people throwing things at us, but the thing that matters more is how we react to those things
ReplyDeletewhen i read that book, i also was very disturbed specifically by the cat scene. how did you feel about how the book had ended? do you feel as though the ending could of been more impactful?
Deletethe book was great, at first it looks like your every day apocalypse story, people living in the aftermath of an apocalypse, survivors must battle zombies and each other against a brutal landscape in order to reshape what's left of the world and make themselves a place in it, but with the characters, the places, the mystery, the best parts were the person to person interactions and the real feeling behind their decisions with are great, would recommend.
ReplyDeletethis book sounds interesting and i would like to read it sometime (Hunter Fosdal)
DeleteI read and enjoyed the book The Justice Project. My favorite part was when Matt and Sonya break into the police station to get documents for their case. I recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense.
ReplyDeleteDid you find this book to keep your attention throughout the entire book and would you recommend it to someobody who doesnt like reeading very much.
DeleteWas it more a boring read or enjoyable read. Do you think that people that don't like reading will like this book?
Deletehow suspenseful is the book
DeleteI read Terror The Zoo and i really enjoyedbthis book it had a lot of turn of events and i didnt want to set it down when i started reading it. I would recoomend this book to any person that is interested in reading books that are a little scary and very twisted events. I never knew what was going to happen next it was a very good read and i think that anyone would like this book.
ReplyDeletein my book Shawshank redemption there was many turn of events every time you thought something bad was going to happen the author did the opposite and vice versa that is what i also liked about my book
Deletei liked my books because it shows the sides of both stories. what goes through them and how they respond or act to there challenges they face until they "meet". Spencer overcomes the challenge of basic training and hell week while Dieter has to suffer shooting his friend and leaving his family. this shows that even in rough times u have to push through it if u want to accomplish what u want. (Hunter Fosdal)
ReplyDeletein my book Shawshank redemption you have top push through tough times because the main character Andy is put in jail for life for a crime he didn't commit and overcame it by spending 19 years in prison and finally escaping and living the life of luxury he deserved
DeleteI read shoot your shot i found my book very interesting my favorite part was probably the ending in the book the ending was my favorite part because you get some of the best advice out of the whole book at the end. I would recommend this book to anyone.

DeleteI read the book "It Ends With Us" By Colleen Hoover. I really did enjoy this book, because it was very descriptive and had very good imagery. My jaw was constantly on the floor. It also deals with physical abuse. Although this is a very sensitive and hard to read about topic, I believe it is one that needs to be brought more attention. The message of the book really stuck with me. One of my favorite parts has to be when Lily confides in her mom on what to do about her abusive husband Ryle. Lily expects her mom to make some excuse for him, because that's what she did for her own husband when he was abusive. Instead she tells Lily that Ryle doesn't really love her. She says if he did he would let her go. He would protect her from him and his abuse by letting her go. I really enjoyed this moment and her moms advice. I also enjoyed the irony in Atlas's story line. He was once a homeless boy who was constantly bullied, and now he is living in a mansion and is basically the most successful man in Bostin. I thought this book was very meaningful and so beautifully written. I found it even more heartfelt when I learned the author wrote it in correlation with her own childhood. I would recommend this book to anyone in a relationship, , especially an abusive one. It helps to show you how to navigate through one and also shows readers what a true relationship should look like. As well as what love looks like. This book deals with some pretty graphic stuff, so, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone under the high school level.
ReplyDeleteI finished the book the alchemist, I really loved the book and honestly it was the only book I've ever truly enjoyed reading. The ending can either make or break the book to you. But I personally really liked the ending of the book. I think that everyone would love to read this book.
ReplyDeleteI read the book The Summer I Turned Pretty and I enjoyed the book. My favorite part of the book was the ending when Belly confronted Conrad with her feelings. Conrad then finally gave Belly a chance and at the ending of the book they are leaving to go somewhere together. that's my favorite part because the whole book Belly has had feelings for Conrad but never came out to him and then she finally got the guts to tell him and in the end it was good she did tell him. i would recommend this book to teenagers and older because it does talk about some inappropriate things. i also would recommend this book to someone who like romantic and drama.
ReplyDeletethe book night by Elie Wiesel is a very good book enjoyable is not a word I would think is appropriate since is about the holocaust but its a good book to read
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy my 3rd book Shawshank redemption there was lots of suspense and plot twist and i have enjoyed all the books i have read by Stephen king he is an amazing author and his choice of words is great my favorite part was when at the end of the story Andy finally escapes prison i truly liked this part because it shows anything is possible and he spent 19 years in prison for something he didnt do
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my book Prisoner B- 3087 was very interesting. It always kept me wanting to read. I would recommend it to people who like reading about World War 2 since it is in that area.
ReplyDeleteI chose to read the book Maybe Someday, and I really enjoyed it. Each time I would read, I did not want to stop. Colleen Hoover makes incredible stories and I love reading her books. I would definitely recommend this book to any teenage girl.

ReplyDeleteYes, I really enjoyed this book, because , I feel a gained a lot of insight reading this book, especially with me being a basketball player, and I feel that I learned how to adapt myself like Kobe did, and how to stay in the present and not get stuck in the past or worried about the future. I would recommend this book to anybody who has a goal or dream they want to reach. My favorite part was when Kobe talked about the certain moves and things you could do against, certain players with certain skills.
ReplyDeleteI did think Sold was very interesting, although it was quite sad and even heartbreaking at times with her becoming more and more numb throughout the story. One of my favorite things about the book is probably how she repeats "my name is lakshmi, I am from Nepal, I am 13 years old". It just has a different tone each time she says it. And she uses it to make herself keep going and it's also what she says in order to get help from the people in the end. I would probably recommend this book to anyone who is interested in reading about different cultures. I think people who liked "I am Malala" would enjoy this because they both include the topic of women and their role in certain cultures.
ReplyDeleteYes, i liked my book a lot although i was lost in some parts it was interesting to read. When Louie standed up for the other team because his team made a hard hit on the other team's player and Louie fought back and ended up getting kicked off the team but i always wonder what you have happened after that. Louie got into track and was good in that sport. Any on that is interested into athletics i would say you want to read the book running loose.
ReplyDeleteYeah i read that book too. I thought the action and detail he gave was a most to much. would you read any of his other books. i almost want too.
ReplyDelete
