Book Review of: Forest of Hands and Teeth

   "The Forest of Hands and Teeth" By: Carrie Ryan.  Mary is learning things that she didn't know she would have to learn. The unconsecrated and humans have been battling for a while now. When the unconsecrated break down the fence that has been dividing them for years all hell breaks loose. It is basically an all out war.  When the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, she must choose between her village and her future-between the one she loves and the one who loves her. The Major conflict in the story was when the fence was breached (the fence is a big fence that divided the zombie's from the village. And basically her life turned into a big war for survival. 
        I liked this book a lot because it made you think and wonder about this story, I could very easily figure out what was going on in my head. I was one of those books where I can picture what is going on in my head like an image of the Zombies braking down the fence and attacking the village.  
        I would recommend this book to sci-fi fans, teens and series lovers. There are three books to this series #1"The Forest of Hands and Teeth"#2 The Dead-Tossed Waves" #3 The Dark and Hollow Places. And just like with every other book I would recommend reading "The Forest of Hands and Teeth first before you read the second or third book of the series because then you will not understand it at all. 


This Book has 310 Pages it is a long book (for me) but I would recommend it. (at least it isn't a 750+ pages like Harry Potter of Twilight.     


Quote from book: "It's not about surviving. It should be about love. When you know love...that's what makes this life worth it. When you live with it everyday. Wake up with it, hold on to it during the thunder and after a nightmare. When love is your refuge from the death that surrounds us all and when it fills you so tight that you can't express it."

Book Review of: American Born Chinese

American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang is a Chinese author as you can probably tell by the name. This book is a graphic novel and there are three separate stories in this book. Right when you open the book the first story that you will start ready will be about a monkey and that will go on for probably 14 to 15 pages and it is hilarious.

Then it will go on to a story about a little boy that moves to a new school from San Francisco and his name is Jin Wang. This story is one of my favorites because it is one of the longer stories and it is very, very funny, and this story last's about 18 pages long and then when you are done reading that there is one more story to come and this one is about, this kid named Danny and his cousin somes to visit and his name is Chin Kee and he is very funny. It is sometimes hard to understand what he is saying, like he will mean to say "love" and he will say "ruv." and Chin Kee bugs the heck out of danny all school year and this story goes on for about 9 pages. And then when you move on in the book it keeps going back and forth between all of the storys.

The one big conflict in the story is there is a big fight scene between the monkey and some demons and it is really cool. And there is some bloody graphics in here but nothing that bad. And then there are just some little conflicts between Chin Kee and Danny and Jin Wang and his friends.

The part that I loved most of all in this story is when Jin Wang gets this girl that he has a big crush on to finally go out with him, an then they go to the movies and there is a really funny scene...but I don't want to tell you because I want you to be surprised. This book is for girls and boys. This would be a Sci-fi book so if you like those kind of book then this is the book for you.

The length of this book is a pretty decent amount but it is a fast reading book, like there was a big fight scene and the where probably 10 pages of just pictures of this really cool fight scene. There are 233 pages in this book. This is also a graphic novel.
