What are you thinking about the book you are reading?

Last week you were given time to chose a new novel to start the year.  As you all know, I love to read.  Well, now I want to know a little about the book you are reading.  

In at least one well-thought out paragraph, tell me what you like and/or dislike about the book you are reading right now.  Be sure to give the name of the book before you begin.  It could be a character, situation, or topic of the book that you like or dislike.  However, don't give important information about what is happening, or you might ruin the book for someone else who wants to read it.  

Remember your good reading strategies; connect, question, summarize, predict, infer, visualize.

Once you have completed your selections and posted your explanation, read and respond to at least 2 peers.

Good luck and I can't wait to hear your responses!

Mr. Boettger  :-)

    1. cory6190 - your book sounds interesting because I also like Medieval Times. I don't know who the Rangers are, so if you could say a bit about them that would be helpful. I hope you enjoy finishing the series.

  5. the book im reading is "stormbraker" and what i like about this book is that there is lots of action parts like booms there and booms here. What i dislike about this book is that stormbraker is a girl and i think i would be even more interested in the book if stormbraker was a guy.

    sincerly, the best jako6660

    1. why would it be better if the stormbraker was a boy is the girl making you frustrated?

      Delete
    2. sean6100 says "Strormbreaker" does sound like a boys name than a girls name and a good book but be more specific about the action btw you should have more gender equalization.

    3. Hey what do you mean "boom here and boom there"?

  7. The book that I'm reading is called "The Girls They Left Behind," and i like this book because when you are at the end of the chapter it is suspenseful. This book is about a girl named Beryl, and her cousin Cameron left to war. and he was like a boyfriend to her. there was a yellow letter in the mail from the war office saying ..
    i recommend this book to you because it is a fantastic book. what i also like about this book is that the chapters are short so you can just read when you want and you know you will be finished. this book you cant put down.

    sincerely,

  10. The book I previously read was called Trapped.It is about 7 high school students trapped in the school during a snow storm. I liked the characters personalites because they were all unique and not stereotypical teenage personalities. I also liked how the author worded the book by using terms i hadn't heard of. Lastly I liked the setting and the plot twists. There wasn't anything i disliked about the book. juli6240

  11. The book I am reading is called 'Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders'. I really like it so far. I like the way Neil started to be a detective when only a young age. He turns into a detective by using his nose. The police call him 'The Nose'. I don't like how Neil's cousin uses slang language a lot. At the same time it's useful to make the book funny and interesting.

  12. Fly Boy Eric Walters

    I have just finised reading Fly Boy it is a very good book. I really enjoyed the ending because it had a lot action. One thing I did not like is does not have much action. The main idea is to be carful what you wish for. The part I can connect to is where Robert gets in trouble and he has to explian to his mother.

  13. The City Of Sparks JEANNE DuPRAU

    I Really like this book. It is very engaging and I have not got board one time in this book and usually there is a part in a book I get board of. The autor of this book is really good at communicating her thoughts. In some parts of the book she mentiond a describtion of a work without actually saying it. I know what she means right away!

  14. The book that I'm reading right now is a called a Beautiful Game. It is about famous football(soccer) players around the world and and how they got to where they are now. The thing that i dislike about the book is that some of the stories have more facts than they are talking about the players.

  15. I have just finshed the book, "Unfriendly Competetion" it is book number 12 in a series. The book is about 6 girls.. And they start off being eneimies with eachother. Once they become teamates they start to become best friends. 2 things I liked about this book is, that its about girls and it has lots of drama in it, which is like my everyday life. I also really like the characters because they have amazing personalities. There was nothing in this book that I dislike, I think I will continue to read the rest of the series.

  18. Noah,

    I am reading Fly Boy to! I haven't finished it yet, but so far it is good. I agree with you, that there is not alot of action. If the author were to add more action to it it it would be a great book.

  19. The book I have just finished reading was called "House Party". I recommend this book to everyone because it teaches you a lesson about lying, and what can happen when you don't have adult supervisie and things get out of hand. Like drinking under age and having people there you don't no because bad things could happen. Why lie and have a party when you should no that you will get caught no matter if your friend tells you that you wont get caught.

  20. I've read that book too Michella ;) I agree with you about it being a good lesson to learn about parties. I also Agree that you shouldn't lie because you'll always get caught.
