Rubber Houses
One of the poem books I chose to read was called Rubber Houses. It was a book that created a story out of poems. This book was a very emotional book, as it made both me and my sister (who read it before me) cry. I feel that the author, Ellen Yeomans, really got her point across. I recommend this book with much passion.
Brsingr book review
I just finished reading Brsingr, by Christopher Paolini. It is an excellent book in my opinion, and I cannot wait for the fourth book to be published. It will be hard to wait, but I am glad that Christopher Paolini decided to make the series into four books, instead of three, because otherwise events would have happened too fast.
In contrasting this series to others, I feel this was written very well. Take Harry Potter for example. Now, don’t get me wrong, I like those books too. But while I was reading them, I never really got the feeling that Harry was growing up or maturing very much. Yes, he learned many things, but one time while I was reading the fifth or sixth book, I realized that he was no longer 12 or 13, but rather 15 or 16. In comparison, I feel that Eragon has matured very much, and is not so naïve by the third book. I anticipate the fourth book very much.

The Glass Castle book review
Hi everyone!
I just finnished this really good book called The Glass Castle. It is about a young girl who grows all over the united states. Her family never really setles down, and is usually running from the government. Her father never has a steady job for more than a few months, and drinks and smokes alot. Her mother is an artist, but never makes much from that, and doesn't help with their money situation at all. The four children had to pretty much fend for themselves sometimes. The author, and main character, Jeannette Walls is the most independent of the four kids, and the one who "believes in" her father for the longest time. I enjoyed this memoir very much, and give a high recomendation of it to anyone twelve to thirteen or older.
