In “Soldier Boy” follows a Double story of an American Soldier Spencer “Spence” Morgan and a Nazi soldier Dietrich “Dieter” Hedrick. Both of them join World War 2 for the wrong reasons. Spence enlists to prove to everyone were he comes from in Brigham City, Utah. Dieter joins because as a young boy he was brainwashed by the HJ or Hitler Youth that Hitler was doing the right thing for the world. When Dieter and Spence get their first real taste of the war they find themselves in The Battle of the Bulge fighting each other. In the first part of the battle the Americans go on the offensive and charge at the German forces but have to retreat. During the retreat Spence’s friend Ted Darney is shot and killed. Then when the Germans attack and try to retreat Dieter is wounded and his partner Johann Schaefer is killed.
One aspect I really liked about this book is how you get a view of both sides of the World War 2, because you get to see why both characters join the war. I really liked how Dean Hughes is very detailed when a person in the book is shot or killed. For example when Spence goes into a house were a German MG is firing at his company, and another soldier Erickson runs up the stairs, and is almost torn in half by the bullets from an automatic rifle. I would highly recommend this book to any one who like historical fiction or a great war story.

Lockowitz period 8

My book is about a group of teenager high school kids that do not fit in. They are the gothic emo group of the school that is easily made fun of. One of the kids in his group lost his mind and bought his gun to school.
I recommend this book to boys or girls. It was a good book to read because I couldn’t stop reading it. It never got boring and it’s got a lot of action. It is also go because it wasn’t like a normal book. In was all interviews. You will have to read to find out what it is about and about what the interviews look like.

In the book Brisingr Eragon is tested against his limits. He is making dangerous oaths to people he shouldn’t. He makes an oath to his cousin Roran that he would help save Roran’s beloved Katrina. During the time that Eragon is helping Katrina he discover someone that has betrayed the town of Carvahall and punishes him. (he finds Katrinas dad and he makes it so he can never see Katrina ever again and sent him to wonder to the elves). When Eragon returns to the varden he is looking for a new sword because Murtagh stole the sword he once had. Later in the book Eragon is sent into battle, but as he is sent into battle he gets a vision of the other person he is connected to. This vision shows that person dying.

One aspect of this book that I find appealing is how Eragon is making all these oaths to many different people and expects to live a free life. It also makes me wonder why he would put himself into that kind of position.

The main conflict of this book is Eragon getting revenge for his uncle’s death and learning his responsibility as a dragon rider. Eragon goes through many changes throughout the book and even through these changes he will never forgot the faces of the murders who killed his uncle.

One aspect of this book that I liked is how much Eragon loves his family. He even left his own town the one place he was known and had family and friends he left to protect his family. I also liked how much action was in the book there was never a dull part of the book.

I read the book Gears of War Aspho Fields by Karen Traviss. This book is the prequel to on of the best selling video games of the 21^st century. It follows the main characters from both games (Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago) and a few new characters are added in, one of them being Carlos Santiago Dom’s older brother. During the book you get to see what life is like in the present day and in the past when Carlos Dom and Marcus grew up together. Now as humanity struggles to survive on the planet of Sera from the oncoming army of the Locust horde, the terrible memories from the battle at Aspho Fields during the Pendulum Wars comes back to haunt Marcus and Dom.

This was one of my top favorite books of all time, I would give this book a 9 out of 10. The book was full of funny little moments and some were very sad and shocking. I would recommend this book to anyone who love the games of likes to read action sci-fi books.

Mr.Lockowitz Period 8th

The book I read was Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles and the main conflict in the book involves two teens named Caleb Becker who spent the last year in juvenile detention center and Maggie Armstrong spent the last year in hospitals and physical therapy and both never expect what happens next in their life’s. If they think that fight is over in their life’s they have another thing coming because their greatest challenge is going to have to see the person that changed/destroyed your life forever. “What happens when he person that hurt you the most becomes the person you trust the most”? The thing that caught my attention is that when something happens to you that changes your life and it’s a person you trust you always think that they did it on purpose, you’ll never trust them again like you did before because your image of them is now very different. In the book that didn’t happen instead something interesting happen and if you want to know what happen read the book.

Brown Period 8.

Eclipse is the third book in Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling series “Twilight”. In this book Bella Sawn, the main character is faced with two major choices: A full mortal life after her high school graduation, or spending an immortal life with her vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen. But with the recent spring of murders around the Seattle and Portland area is something more dangerous than just a murder’s work at hand?

I think that reason that Eclipse is such a big hit and a bestseller is the mix of romance, action, fantasy, and mystery that Stephenine Meyer some how manages to mix and put together all in one book, as well as the book series it’s self. At first glance Eclipse seems like another girly teenager romance book. But it’s this mix of action and romance put together and makes Eclipse such a big. It’s that feelings that there is so much going on in the plot that you just have to keep reading to see what happens in the end, or to find out if your predictions that you made before you started reading actually came true. Stephenine Meyer has brought a completely new outlook on how the world today describes vampires, werewolf, and a romance book it’s self.

Brown Period 8

Twilight. Wow. What a book. Seriously, there isn’t a word that can express my feelings towards this book. Its really good. The book is about this girl, Isabella Swan, who shows up to a new state and town with no friends, to live with her dad who is a “minor leauge” baseball player. At school, all the boys are bedazzled over her, except one. That strange one happens to be this kid named Edward Cullen. Bella acts as if it were love at first sight. She loves Edward, but feels as if he doesn’t feel the same way. Well later in the book, you really find out that Edward has to stay away from her because he is a VAMPIRE, and it is for her own good. Bella realizes that and they do nothing but get closer and closer everyday, and she likes. Edward knows his boundaries, and keeps them. At the very end of the book, Bella gets herself into big trouble, and she gets hurt very bad, and the whole Cullen family shows up to try and save her. Thats about it.

I totally would recommend this book to anyone. Even my dad reads these books, and when I told him about them, he started laughing and told me that they were for girls. As little as he knew, he is now hooked on the supense and thrill these books give the reader.

Brown period 3

In Eragon the main character’s name is Eragon. He is a boy that is working on a farm and just happens to find a magical dragon egg in a forest. He then meets a man named Brohm who tells him about people called dragon riders and how they were betrayed by the evil king Galbatorix. So Brom tells Eragon to fly with his dragon named Saphira to the Varden, or rebels. The Varden are located in a dwarf city. When he gets there he learns that the city will be attacked by Urgals the King’s monster soldiers. Will he survive?

I thought Eragon had a lot of really cool fantasy aspects. There were all different races like trolls, urgals, dragons, and elves. There was even an own language that when you spoke in it you got super powers. It seemed to real that for a while I felt like if I said one of the words I would get super powers. I thought that in a lot of fantasy books that they get over the top and sort of dumb, but I thought that Eragon was really realistic for a fantasy story. It is really like no other book. It wasn’t for little kids either it was just a really good, cool book. I for one would recommend this book to anyone who wants a good read, I really enjoyed it.

Lockowitz p.8

The book i read is called The battle of the labyrinth. The plot of this book is Percy Jackson, Annabeth, Tyson, and grover have been sent on a quest. THere quest was to find Daedalus to ask him for help. When they had found them him luke there enemy had just come right after they showed up. Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, and grover all make it out alive, but they leave daedalus behind. They wanted daedalus to help them save there camp from luke, but it was to late for that. When they got back to camp ten minutes later lukes forces attacked them,

One aspect of this book tat appeals to me is how tyson can always care for things that even attack him or are rude. Also what appelas to me is how percy accepts the fact tyson is his brother and doesn’t let anyone make fun of him for it.
