Doomsday Conspiracy

This is a science fiction story by Sidney Sheldon. I was not sure that I would like this book because I had never read science fiction books before. Well like most of his books he is the master of words. This was a story about a guy named Robert Bellamy a US Navy Commander who was assigned to find 11 people who saw the crash of a weather balloon. Every time he finds a person they turn up dead. Robert Bellamy starts to uncover why people are dying around him and what the 11 people really saw. This book was action pack form the beginning to the end. This is one of my favorite books.

The Giver

I have to say this book was so well written. I can see why it got the  Newberry Award. This is a futuristic story about a boy named Jonas who lives in a world were everything is controlled. How they talk, were they work, what they see, and who they marry. When Jonas turns 12 he is assigned the most important job in the community, Receiver of Memory.” His teacher the Giver, open his eyes up to the world he actually lives in.

Louis Lawry does a magnificent job at writing this story. The way she describes the memories, makes you think. I have not read a book like this before. I would have to say it is in my top ten much read books. This book is not a fast past book but it holds your attention. The whole concept of this book is what makes it out standing. There is talk that in 2011 there will be a movie out on this story.

Eclipse

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was my favorite book of the saga and my favorite movie so far. This book and movie had a lot of action and was a complete story. There is a love triangle between Edward, Bella and Jacob. All the carters are in this book the humans, vampires and werewolves. In this story Bella and Edward are back together but Jacob is in love with Bella. Jacob is trying to convince Bella that he is better for her and not Edward. There is also a vampire after Bella trying to kill her. So everyone gets together to fight agents the evil coming to town. The movie follows the book very well. When I watched the movie I was so amazed at how much of the book they had in the movie. This is a stand alone book and movie. I would say that both the book and the movie are a must read and must see.

New Moon

I was not much of a fan of New Moon. It was kind of long and drawn out to me. Stephenie Meyers was very wordy in the book. In New Moon the book as well as the movie, they can not stand on there own.  Basically the story is about a girl named Bella, the love of her life Edward the Vampire leaves her and she gets a stronger relationship with a guy named Jacob (who is a werewolf). I was board through out this whole book and I did not really care for the movie either.  Bella mopes through out the whole story, because the love of her life is gone (Edward Cullen). I enjoyed the end of the book as well as the end of the movie. Maybe I am just a fan of the vampires. I feel that is book and movie is just a filler of the saga.

Dear John

This is a love story about a guy who fell in love with a girl. He lives with his father who is in question has a mental illness, who he dose not understand. He leads a life of rebellion and soon realizes that there is more to life, so he joins the army. While home on leave he meets a girl and falls in love with her. In this book their relationship goes through a lot of hardship because he is still in the army and she is at home always waiting for him to come home. I thought that this book was pretty good. I did not like the movie. I felt that the carters in the movie did not match the ones as good in the book. Just read the book you will not miss anything if you do not see the movie.

Mountain Sky

Jack Mercy a rich rancher has three daughters who live totally different lives. Jack Mercy dies and the only way for each of his daughters to inherit there part of the ranch is to live together on the ranch for a year. Through the story Nora Roberts keeps your attention through out this story. Spending this year together the women are brought together thorough a killing on the ranch. This is a love story with suspense and family coming together. I liked this book

Twilight

 I enjoyed this book a lot. This book was about a girl who falls in love with a vampire, putting her life in danger. I have to say that I watched this movie before I red the book. I liked the movie so much that I had my daughter watched the movie. She liked the movie so much that she got the book. When I read the book I liked Twilight even more. Of course the movie did not have everything that was in the book. And some of the scenes were changed in the movie. I remember seeing the scene were they were jumping from tree to tree to tree and see the beautiful land scape. I wanted to see how Stephenie Myers the author was going to write that scene but it was not in the book. When I read the book I had a whole new picture of Twilight. The book was so much better than the movie that seeing the movie first did not really hurt the book.
