I can't write books so I review them instead
I first encountered this novel in Indigo. It was just there on a shelf, not on the recommended list, nothing on it to make it seem special. But something about the cover and the title grabbed me and on a whim, I decided to buy it. Little did I know that it would be the…
I actually had the audio book for this story and I feel like that may have affected my perception of it a little but I don’t think it made too much of a big impact so it should be okay. This book is about a fireman named Guy Montag who lives in a society where…
I actually read this book a while back but I wanted to watch the movie before I wrote about it in this blog. This book is about a world ruled by factions: Abnegation (selflessness), Candor (truth), Amity (peacefulness), Erudite (intellect), and Dauntless (bravery). Beatrice Prior has been raised all her life as Abnegation but has…
I first saw this book when it was up for the White Pine fiction award, which is an award where students vote for the best book. I picked it up, read a couple pages, and immediately put it away. Now, that’s unusual of me but the reason I did so is because I absolutely cannot…
When I first heard of Jurassic Park, I had no idea that it was a book and the movie was an adaptation. So naturally, I HAD to read it! This book is about a group of people who get invited to an island with an unusual theme park. What makes it unusual is that it…

Even though school has started, I’m determined to keep reading. However, it will definitely be taking me longer to get through my books. Anyways…. Just like every Dan Brown novel, there is some history theme involved and in this case, it is Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. Robert Langdon is once again caught up in a…
I have read this book countless times and so, I truly believe that it deserves to be written about. I’m sure many people have read this book or watched the movie so this may be pointless but I feel like writing about this anyways. This book is about symbologist Robert Langdon who finds himself drawn…
Melinda Sordino is a freshman at her high school and is having the worst time. She is a social pariah and has no friends. She eats alone, she sits alone, she IS alone. Everyone holds a grudge against her because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the police. But what happened that night to…
I found this book one day when I was going to a closing sale at Indigo, one of the top bookselling places in Canada. I usually don’t buy books I’ve never read; I have a strict rule that I should only buy books that I love and know I will read over and over again.…
