    Book: A Man Named Dave

    in this particular first chapter the author remindsyou of the past sequels of these heart touching books. he reminds you of the first book and pain of the abused little boy. mentioning situations such as sleeping on an army cot in the garage or eating scraps from garbage. this book then will continue on to show this orphan's life ad an adult.

    Book: Stargazer
    Pg 3 to pg 50

    In this book, Alexa (main character) has always been in dangerous situations and saves the day. Now it's happening again. Throughout the book everything always seems mysterious and asks a lot of questions. When people discover who she is she becomes a legend at the five stone pillars because she is Thomas Warvold's daughter. The people of the Pillars knew her uncle, Roland Warvold. Now that everyone knows her, Alexa feels obligated to protect everyone from the sea monster and find more answer as she goes about this mysterious place.

    Book:Le comte de Monte-Cristo

    In the first sequence the author gave me a feel that edmond the protagonist was going to dead when he was accused by many powerful people and his girlfriend i knew she was going to married with fernand the friend of edmond just for money. it a good book

    The Namesake
    pg. 196-215
    The author made me think about how i value time with my parents. Gogol, all his life, wanted to escape his parents and get away from bengali traditions. when Gogol's father died, he regreted not being there spending time with his family. its like the saying, you never know how much you are going to miss someone until they are gone. The author made me think about how much i would miss my parents if one or both of them died.
