I haven't really started this but it is really good I like this website

This book is... nice...? Great for students of classical studies and medical professionals.

It's SOOOOOOOO awesome I wish it was more to the story but sadly its not. I really recommend it if you can buy it or you already have it its so addicting. R.L. Stine is just the best author for the horror genre and hes the best director i even binge watched his goosebumps show in the mid 1990's

Oh. My. God. I didn't read this series since last year, because over the summer I was too busy playing. :/ but now I remembered..... it was the best book EVER. This book was mostly about the Heap Family. They had a/the seventh son of the seventh son, which makes him really powerful. I'll give spoilers at the end. :D I sorta forgot what the book was about, so I'll give away Spoilers now. OK, DON'T READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT A SPOILER! So, Boy 19 (or whatever it is) is Septimus Heap, not that Darke apprentice. Oh, and Jenna is the Princess (you should already know that) and a spoiler from the next book: Simon becomes evil, and runs away. I won't give anymore spoilers now.

The book I read was Crossing the Wire, by:Will Hobbs. This book is about a boy from Mexico named Victor Flores. He makes a living for his family from selling corn at a farm after his father died. His friend Rico crosses the border to America to start a new life. Victor asks his mom if he may go to "el Norte" to earn money. His mother agrees but it's not as easy as he thinks. Victor goes through many problems and hardships along the way. He meets three people who lead him to America. He goes through sewers, tricksters, border patrol, jail, gunfights, snake bites, desert heat and much more. He fails many times but finally crosses the border. My opinion of this book is great. I really enjoyed this book because the story moves right along. It's has great suspense and surprises. I also liked it because of the dialogue and Will Hobbs makes each person difference not only with accent but with personality and emotion. He developed the characters very well. This books genre is realistic fiction for many reasons. First of all these events can happen to anyone it has no supernatural or fantasy characters. Also it is describing an real issue that today is very common about crossing the border. The setting is realistic it's not in a whole different world. I think a person who would like this book would be a person who likes current events and lots of different characters. This book is based on many events that are very high debated today. Also this book has a lot of different people from Americans to police and Mexicans. You get to know a lot of new people. Victor has a lot of man v. self conflict in this book. He has a lot of thoughts because of the mistakes he's made he needs to think any decision through which can require a lot of debating with himself. Also, another type of conflict is man v. man. Since Victor has to fight with police officers, friends, drivers and family. He has a lot of conflicts person to person with people he meets.

To my disappointment, Glass Sword did not live up to my expectations at all. Its predecessor, Red Queen, was enthralling and left my vying for more, but this is not the sequel for me. First of all, most of the beginning and middle of the book consists of Mare wrangling with her emotions. She doesn't do much except for think about things like "Oh, I wonder how Cal's shaping up," and "How do I betray Maven," even though she literally does nothing half of the time. Also, as Mare and the other Reds venture through the kingdom, the book has a knack of going into long descriptions about their surroundings - which might seem essential, but it's a real drag. Most of the time, Mare is indecisive, reckless, and completely over her head. It makes me really uncomfortable even to read the story from her perspective. And the ending could rival even that of the first book, but by that time, it was too late; I was bored out of my mind. It took a lot out of me even to make it to the end, so dreadful was the writing. All in all, if you want to read about a protagonist stuck in her head most of the time, barely any humor, rather badly-developed characters (Kilorn was the worst; reading his character pained me physically), and you don't mind slow-paced writing, then go ahead and read this. But Glass Sword personally disappointed me and eradicated any prospects of reading King's Cage. Victoria, I love you, but you've plateaued!

This book is apart of the Red Queen series. Mare Barrow sacrificed herself so Cal and Kilorn could escape. Maven has taken her as his prisoner. Mare now has to play a role she is not again, and she has to place blame on the Scarlet Guard. However, she is determined to escape this cage. Overall, I enjoyed this book although the plot tended to be slow at times. You may as well read this if you are interested in knowing what happens by the end of the series. I recommend this book to people who are interested in dystopian novels, or people who are interested in The Selection series. I rate this 5/5.

This book is great for people who look for adventure and action
