Hoops by Walter Dean Myers

This is a very fast fast paced book that grabs you quickly and doesn't let go. This book has lots of drama and in some parts it can be very sad.

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

I was sad when I understood what topic it was focusing on. I read this book from a recommendation and liked it. I just found out that there was a movies on it. This book is very relatable even if you have not been through that situation. It is not a super challenging book for readers.

The Pact by Jodi Picoult

Yesterday, I began reading "The Pact" by Jodi Picoult. So far, it's quite interesting, I just wish Jodi hadn't went off and killed another character. Anyway, this story is like the anti-Romeo and Juliet type of story. There are these two teens, Chris and Emily who have grown up together ('cause their parents are besties) and fell in love. Yet some point in their relationship, Emily gets shot. Chris is saying it's suicide, the prosecution is saying it's homicide. It tears the two families apart and I am guessing it's going to lead Chris to commit suicide himself. The dude is depressed that the love of his life is dead, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he does.

I guess I would suggest the book but so far it's a drag. Nevertheless, Picoult (my new obsession!) always starts her books off with a drag and ends them with a big bang. So let us see what happens!

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

Normally, I try to stay away from books that eat me up inside and make me feel sick.

Normally, I read those type of books. Which is why I really want to suggest to stay away from Jodi Picoult, unless you are one of the many people out there who love reading heart wrenching books like "The Fault in Our Stars." "My Sister's Keeper" is along the lines of a heart wrenching and somewhat depressing book.

"My Sister's Keeper" was suggested to me by my very energetic English teacher, Ms. P. She encouraged me to buy it on our school trip back from Pennsylvania. I had previously read a Jodi Picoult book, "Nineteen Minutes" and thoroughly enjoyed that (I recommend it, but it is sad). So it seemed harmless to read a book by her again.

Boy, was I wrong. Before we even made it back home from the trip, my math teacher was telling me how sad it was. My classmates tried to convince me into not reading it because they thought it was bad. I had already bought the book and had eight hours until we got to school. So I opened up the book and began to read.

This book isn't your typical, "My sister has cancer and my life is horrible and I wish she could stay alive but she can't blah blah blah." It's pretty funky. Picoult takes such a complex and controversial subjects such as stem cells, emancipation, and designer babies into a book about love, sisterhood, and whether a child is any smarter than an adult.

Picoult does an amazing job crafting this book. The characters really bring out the meaning of the story. Anna's desire to be free from the constant hospitalization for her sister, to her sister's almost suicidal thoughts makes you think what in the world is wrong with Picoult.

I would love to recommend this book, but at the same time I wouldn't. It's painful and very sad. I am warning you, if you decide to read this book be prepared for that bumpy and emotional roller coaster.
