It is the TRYING TIMES in Johnny's house, and he is escaping from his parents' arguments by playing video games on his Pineapple. He has played Megasteroids, Galactic Thrusters, and now he's playing Only You can save MANKIND. One day Johnny is firing missiles and throwing bananas at ScreeWees when suddenly, he gets a mysterious message. It says, "WE WISH TO TAlKKKK!!!" Are the aliens...ALIVE? Then Johnny has a dream about them and realizes that whenever he dreams, he goes into GAME SPACE. The ScreeWee Captain talks to Johnny and informs him that he will lead them across the border of Game Space and back to their home planet! The ScreeWee fleet is heading deep into Game Space, so the players are finding it difficult to find them, but what if they get wiped out by those people who leave their computers on for 30000000 hours?? Johnny will have to get the help of Kirsty, a very experienced and evil gamer who wants to win everything. But will she help the ScreeWee? Or will she just blast them to pieces? ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND was very entertaining and witty and was EXCITING at the end. But the theme was hard to find.

The idea for this book is really good. Instead of focusing on Tris's point of view (in the 1-3rd books), the story takes on an interesting spin as the reader gets put in Four's shoes. I read a lot about his background, told from his own perspective. I really like the way the author chose the moments to write about, it highlighted the most significant moments in Four's life to make him more understandable and relatable to the readers. The thing I liked most was that the author didn't just focus on Tris as the main character, in the fourth book she made Four the main protagonist and led the readers through the events of his life. However I wished the book was a whole length novel with continous chapters instead of long narratives because it would make it seem more realistic, like you were actually THERE, instead of reading a diary. In conclusion, this book was really good!

it is so good it is a mystery at the end so I hope they made or making a 2and one. I can knit to! I still wont knit THAT MUCH!!!

In old houses, under the floor, live tiny people called Borrowers. The borrowers don't bother to make stuff like beds or spools of wool or safety pins. Instead, the Borrowers create their furniture using "borrowed" items from "human beans." There aren't many Borrowers left. One Borrower family, composed of three, lived in an old house in England. The father was called Pod, the mother Homily, and the child Arrietty. Arrietty isn't like other borrowers. She doesn't want to spend her entire life cooped up in a house, seeing the sky only through tiny glimpses through the grating. Arriety wants to live outside, under the blue sky. But girls are usually not allowed to go on borrowing trips through the house. After many days of asking, Pod finally gives in and allows Arietty to come. On the trip, Arrietty is seen by a human boy. He agrees to keep their secret, but what will happen when more people find out?

Aphrodite is one of the most popular girls on campus. She's insightful, stylish, and undoubtedly beautiful—she is the Greek goddess of love and beauty, after all! With everyone vying for her attention all the time, Aphrodite is both flattered and exhausted. Especially when Hephaestus, the short but quietly intelligent god of metalwork, begins to have a huge crush on her. Aphrodite doesn't want to turn him down, but she also knows that she feels way more compatible with Ares, the godboy of war. Meanwhile, Aphrodite receives a sweet and gushy letter from a mortal who wants to win a girl's heart. Can Aphrodite balance her own love life with everyone else's? This zesty and fresh book holds its own flair and is perfect for the most reluctant of female readers!

Marvellous. One of my fav series

The future has been very prosperous. Humans have conquered nature. The government has been replaced by a powerful A.I. called the Thunderhead. Death and disease have been eradicated. In a world where there is nothing else to discover, people live just for the pleasure of it. However, manual death must replace natural death. Thus, the Scythedom is born, consisting of people experienced in the art of killing. The time for new scythes roll around and Citra and Rowan are chosen as apprentices of the same scythe. In an unfortunate turn of events, Citra and Rowan, who have come to like each other's presence very much, are made to fight each other for the name of the scythe. However, there is a catch. The newly welcomed scythe has to kill the loser. This book has quickly become one of my favorites. This is the first book in a series written by Neal Shusterman, called “Arc Of Scythe.” Neal Shusterman is an efficient writer. He writes the story in such a way that it embraces you and pulls you into the book. My goal was to read 100 pages a day but this book fascinated me so much that sometimes I would end up reading 170 pages. It is the first book in the series and I must say, it is written well. The story has a fair amount of unexpected plot twists. Sometimes I just keep reading and forget that I am reading a book, not a living one. The sentences are not hard to understand either. Fairly simple sentences. I also saw some new words but was easily able to figure them out by reading the sentence. I would recommend this book to people above the age of eleven. Children below the age of eleven won't understand it fully as there is a lot of death and some swearing. Science fiction and dystopian lovers must read this book as you cannot take your eyes off of it. If you plan on reading small series I would recommend you start with this one. Overall, it’s a great and amazing book. 5/5 star.

Warning! This review contains spoilers (not that it matters because there's absolutely no suspense in this book whatsoever). There's this little girl named Heidi, and both of her parents died when she was a baby. So went to go live with her aunt and her grandmother (on her mom's side). But then her grandmother dies. So, her aunt sends her to live with her grandfather (on her dad's side). Her grandfather lives in the mountains, and everyone who lives near him says he's really mean. But Heidi's aunt doesn't care and sends her to live with him anyway. Heidi then makes friends with a boy named Peter and his grandmother. After Heidi has lived with her grandfather for a few years, her aunt comes back. Then she basically takes her to live with some random rich people, so there daughter will have a companion. What I thought of it: This book was extremely boring. Heidi was an extremely irritating character. She basically prances around bringing joy and sunshine to everyone she comes in contact with for no apparent reason. It's like everyone loves her and no one knows why. Then, eventually, in addition to going around bringing joy to everyone, she starts going around and preaching to everyone. She's probably no more than 10 years old, and suddenly (after one talk with a girl's grandmamma) she knows everything about God. It's absolutely ridiculous. Also, she just magically learns how to read in two seconds. One minute she's completely illiterate, and the next, she's the world's best reader. What up with that? Not to mention the fact that she's a total jerk. Once some of her new friends come to visit her, she starts completely (and pretty much without a reason), ignoring her friend Peter. This causes Peter to become VERY angry. I mean some of his reactions were a bit extreme, but he definitely had a right to be mad. And Heidi just continues to prance around as if nothing has happened. I mean she never even addresses the fact that he's angry. Ever. But there was one thing that REALLY bothered me about this situation. When Heidi wanted Peter to do something, and he refused, she had the nerve to threaten him! And he listened! I really couldn't believe it. But for now, I'm going to take break from talking about Heidi, and talk about the other characters. Heidi's grandfather was completely inconsistent character. He was said to have been really mean, but he's never portrayed doing anything mean. As soon as Heidi shows up he pretty much welcomes her with open arms. Then when she leaves, he says he never wants to see her again. But then she comes back again, he's perfectly happy to see her. People are always saying how terrible he is, but we never see him do anything terrible. I mean the writer meant to write him as one of those "Don't judge a book by it's cover" character, but did a really bad job. I also didn't like the fact that Heidi's friend Klara just came to the mountains and magically got better. I mean the girl couldn't walk her entire life, and then she comes to the mountains and has the ability to walk by the end of the summer. Yet another unrealistic thing that happened in this book to add to the list. I could go on forever picking out the flaws in this book, but I think I'm going to go ahead and wrap this review up. I can't help but feel that this entire book was just completely dedicated to making Heidi seem like she was a perfect little angel, when in reality, she was a total brat. I mean they never addressed any of her flaws. But instead, they tried (and failed) to completely cover them all up. The morals of the story seemed to be: Trust in God and he will fix all your problems (which isn't a bad thing, but they could have portrayed that in a way that wasn't completely preachy. I mean they pretty much had the same conversation over and over with different people.), The mountains are a magical place and if you go there all your health issues will magically disappear, and Heidi is the best thing since sliced bread. You should love her with all her heart even though she doesn't really have any really good character traits. Overall, it was a very boring and preachy book, and I have no idea why this is a classic. On second thought, it being boring and preachy is probably the very reason it's a classic.
