ROOM

The title of the book, ROOM. When I got the book ROOM it caught my eye. It captures what the book is going to be about, something dealing with a room. The colors reminded me of a young child. Just by the cover, I figured it was going to be interesting and something I would enjoy reading. I think a book can say alot about the cover. But also, not looking at the colors of the word, just the word ROOM looks boring. Some people might think when they pick up the book "Oh, it's about a room?" "That sounds boring, and put it back down." But the color just gives it more brightness, and something that stands out. As soon as I started reading the book I could not put it down. I like that Jack and his mom have such a great mother son bond. Espically since all he has is his mom, and they are with eachother everyday morning till night. Jack doesn't know what the real world is like because he doesn't go out of the room. I am glad that I got the book because what I have read so far I really enjoy and I can't wait to get more into it. It seems like a very interesting book, and I like that the title is simple with a few colors.

ROOM & Truth About Forever.

I finished the book Liar, and I did not really enjoy reading the book. It just didn't catch my interest, but I am starting to read two new books, ROOM and The Truth About Forever. After finishing up Liar, for the midterm project I did the vision board "I know what I want". I did Micah as the main character, and I pictured her to go to college and start a new life. I felt that she was going to further her education, and someday have a family of her own and live life the way she wanted to live it without having to worry about her parents or anyone else. I pictured her becoming a model. She loves to run, so that would encourage her to be a model because it would keep in her shape.
The book I am starting to read now is ROOM. I already started to read it yesterday and so far I am starting to enjoy the book! I love the way the book is written, in the words of a five year old it is cute. I think that I will really like this book. It seems like a really good book, and the cover makes me want to read it even more. I try not to judge a book by its cover because it could have a very ugly cover but still be a great book, but the cover makes the book look more interesting and it caught my eye. I am reading The truth about forever for extra credit. I also think this book will be a great book, and something i will enjoy reading. It is a relationship book and those are the main types of books I like to read. So hopefully i will like this book as well.

Werewolf.

After reading in class, i was anxious to find out what was going to happen next. When I read that Micah was a werewolf It was shocking. I did not think this was going to happen at all.  At times the book can be very frustrating because we never know if she is telling the truth or if she's lieing. She only told the truth a few times, but it just goes back and forth from lies and the truth. So no one knows what to really believe. Then all of a sudden she finds out she is a werewolf. I dont know if i believe she is a werewolf, but then I feel like she is telling the truth because of the reason she was born with excessive hair all over her body. Also, her dad was the one who told her she was a werewolf, and he is a pathological liar, so he could be lieing to her about the whole thing. When he told her I got the feeling she really didn't believe him. He said she knew when it was going to happen. Especially when she thought she was turning into a werewolf but nothing happened, it was a false alarm, so i thought it was all a lie. She took the pills because of her periods, but it was actually for the part of being a werewolf. I just think this book is very different, and hard to understand whether or not Micah is lieing or telling the truth.
