Subject Seven

Brief Summary: Subject Seven follows along multiple characters such as Subject Seven, Hunter Harrison, and many more. All of them are leading normal lives, but there is one thing that connects all of them, and Subject Seven holds that secret. What is Subject Seven? Well, years ago scientists developed a military weapon: sleeper assassins that are almost like Jeckly and Hyde with regular teenagers.
Subject Seven is there leader, and he has a plan that requires all of their help.


My review: I enjoyed reading Subject Seven very much. There were a few graphic scenes and lots of swearing, so it is not for young readers, but besides that, it was an amazing book and I cannot wait for the sequel. For Moore's first Young Adult book, I say that it was a success.

My rating:

*****

***This book may win the Jack K Fiction Award 2011***

The Hollow

The Hollow by Agatha Christie is a murder mystery with a romantic twist. Yet another one of Christie's classic crime fictions, I found it a page turned, exciting, and, at the end, surprising. While I like And Then There Were None better, I still found this book great and a good read.
****

The Hiding Place

This book is the true story of Corrie ten Boom, a middle-aged woman who took in Jews during World War 2 and the punishment that came from it, her persistance in standing up for what is right, and, sadly, tragedy.
Although it was long and at some times hard to read, I found this book incredibly enjoyable and I really liked it. It was inspiring and amazing what she and her family went through.

Curtain

In the final story of the well-known Belgian detective, Curtain brings Hercule Poirot and his friend Captain Arthur Hastings to the place of there first mystery, Styles. Although it has been a long time since the murder, it still lingers in the air, and Poirot knows that homicide will happen soon.

Although starting out with a slow beginning, it soon picks up. Most of the novel I found myself eagerly waiting for the murder or trying to prove my beliefs, beliefs that were proven to be wrong, correct. Christie makes you consider every possibility before revealing the identity of "X".

Divergent

In Veronica Roth's first novel, Divergent is one that won't be soon forgotten. It is about Tris Prior living in a divided city, but there is something special about her. Will being a divergent put her in danger or can she live the rest of her life in peace?

Divergent is really one of the best books that I have ever read. I would compare it to Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games. It's that good. I found myself dying to read it, and when I did, my heart would be pounding and I would be gasping every few pages, pages that I could not stop turning. I am sure that we will see more from Veronica Roth.

Divergent comes out May 2011.

The Pearl

The Pearl. Ah, the famous classic. It is about Kino, a pearl fisher, who finds a giant pearl, but the corrupt evil of the sales brings danger to not only him, but his family.

The beginning of this book boring but very interesting, it's kind of funny because at the end, when it was more exciting, I didn't like it.
