Summer reading novel: Uglies
I would rate this book a 4/5 because although it was very good and the ending was a cliffhanger, it took a lot of time to describe many things. The main character, Tally, always dreamed of becoming a pretty when she turned 16. When she finally turns 16 and goes to get the operation to turn pretty, she can't because she had to locate the friend that she helped escape from the horrible, decieving world that they lived in. -

Class reading: The Giver
I would rate this book a 5/5. This fiction book keeps its reader very interested and thinking about how different the setting is compared to reality. In the novel, choices are made for each citizen, however, people today get to live their own lives. Also, everything and one in the Giver society are the same with skin tone, hair color, eye color, birthdays, living styles, etc. There's a major difference between how life is lived in reality to the Giver community.
