Teen Review: The Genius Squad

Posted in Science Fiction and Fantasy, Teens Read on May 14, 2013 by juniebeth

Book CoverIn the 2nd book of the Genius trilogy, Cadel (Piggot, Drakon, or English) has to find his way through a world of lies, deceit, and trickery? A world he has tried very hard to detach himself from. He also he has to stop an evil super villain from ruining his life (again), a powerful corporation from doing bad things to people, and survive. Cadel, who is said to be a genius, can?t do all this alone, so he teams up with a group of hackers and decoders. I liked this book because it?s suspenseful and leaves you wanting to read more.****

Teen Review: The Genius Wars

Posted in Science Fiction and Fantasy, Teens Read on May 14, 2013 by juniebeth

Book CoverIn the last book of the Genius trilogy, Cadel Greenius has found a new home, life, and school. Unfortunately Cadel is still not safe from his old therapist gone super villain. His therapist has gone from turning Cadel evil to trying to kill him because he knows ?too much?. Cadel, yet again, has gone back into hiding because his friends are being badly injured, and is otherwise very unhappy. In the final battle, Cadel has to protect himself with cyber warfare and powerful firewalls. Old acquaintances become new enemies, while old enemies become new allies. I liked this book because it had many turns and twists, and was a story where anything could happen.*****

Posted in Science Fiction and Fantasy, Teens Read on May 10, 2013 by juniebeth

Book CoverAnother Warhammer 40,000 novel by Sandy Mitchell, Scourge the Heretic is the first book in the Dark Heresy Series. The book takes place on Sepheris Secundus, a feudal mining world in the Calixis Sector. The story follows a band of Inquisitors sent to help deal with the breakout of a prison filled with rogue Psykers. The novel is great for fans of Warhammer 40,000 and fans of Sandy Mitchell’s other works.****

Teen Review: Mockingjay

Posted in Science Fiction and Fantasy, Teens Read on May 10, 2013 by juniebeth

Book CoverSo the book “Mockingjay” By Suzanne Collins Was fantastic in my opinion. The trillogy was suspensful yet amazing. Every book had a ton of action and many surprising moments but the book that popped out to me was “Mockingjay”.The reason i chose “mockingjay” was that this book ended the trillogy and made me realize many events that i was not so sure about. By doing so it made me appreciate the other books and this book especially. There was an equal amount of action and everything that makes a book interesting. I liked this book especially becausethe author made the events so vivid and the reader really roots for the main character and by doing so the author engages the reader with all the events that go on during the book. I would read the trillogy more than once.*****

Teen Review: To Kill a Mockingbird

Posted in Historical Fiction, Teens Read on May 10, 2013 by juniebeth

Book CoverI read this in my english class and it had to be my favorite book that i hav read in school. This book has a mixture of mystery, suspense, and action. i like how Atticus, the main character, stood up for what he believed in even though he faced the whole town. it shows that not everybody goes with what other people think, the only thing that should matter is what you truly believe in. i do not like how the book ends but thats what gives this book diversity. Definitely a must read book.****

Teen Review: Starcraft: Firstborn

Posted in Science Fiction and Fantasy, Teens Read on May 9, 2013 by juniebeth

Book CoverBased on one of the best games out there, Firstborn the first of three books in this sage acts as a bridge from brood wars to whats happening now in the starcraft universe. If you enjoy starcraft enough to want to know the lore behind whats really going on i suggest checking this out it will shed so light on some of those question you may have. The characters in this book might seem familiar and some just being introduced for those who the game.For some like the xel’nage’s intentions become a little more clear and a old enemy makes a reappearance overall I was a very good read.****
