A tragedy in his childhood has left him completely mute. In his forced solitary life Micheal is able to discover a talent that will completely change the course of his life. He can pick locks. Not just one lock, but all locks; be it a simple padlock or a 800 pound safe. His unique skill makes him a hot commodity with the wrong types of people.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">We meet Micheal in Prison, after the initial introduction we are transported into the scenes of his past. &nbsp;In my opinion to have such a layout you need strong writing. The story line was interesting, but what sold the book (at least for me) was the developed characters. Each character had time to develop and grow, until they weren't just a character but a person. I actually felt like I was truly reading somebody's life story, not some fictional tale. Overall I really did enjoy this book and I would give it a 4.5 stars out of 5 stars.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">First Sentence: "You may remember me."</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5eA6rJafCvM/Tyr-T6ELHdI/AAAAAAAADDA/Rd3lISsgEdI/s1600/lock+artist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5eA6rJafCvM/Tyr-T6ELHdI/AAAAAAAADDA/Rd3lISsgEdI/s200/lock+artist.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="133" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><u style="font-style: italic;"><br /></u></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><u style="font-style: italic;">The Lock Artist&nbsp;</u>by Steve Hamilton</div></div>Besianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05385316795498623590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114938209937329510.post-60401180354139029762012-03-31T23:16:00.002-05:002012-03-31T23:16:49.739-05:00The Hunger Games Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/6jFsggUayTw?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This is my first Youtube video, and I would love some feedback!

Beneath its thick covers lies a girl struggling to keep living. Pressured by the weight of her younger brother’s death, Andi’s life went deep into chaos. Rage and grief threaten to destroy her, threatening her to make the final step that would end her and her pain. Her family is so deep in separation it is as if they don’t exist. Her mother is too lost in her own pain to even look at Andi, and for Andi to see her father is practically unheard of. After her brother’s death Andi’s father cut himself off from their family and remarried; until one fateful day when he barges back into her life uninvited, unwanted. His appearance changes everything; he puts Andi’s mom in psych ward and forces Andi to come to Paris with him. Armed with only her music and her brother’s key she goes with her father. There she meets Alexandrine (Alex) a girl who lived more than two centuries ago. Alex’s past soon becomes Andi’s present as she fights the revolution inside herself, and finishes Alex’s quest.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Jennifer Donnelly beautifully constructs a world that ties the horrors of the French Revolution with our present time.

The book, <em>Jacob's Rescue</em> by Malka Drucker and Michael Halperin, is about one of the men and his wife that did do something. Alex and Mela Roslan hid three Jewish boys in their home for four years. During the war, the punishment for hiding Jews was death, but these two courageous people risked their lives to save others. I would recomend this book because it teaches courage. I would also give this book 5 out of 5 stars.Feelutenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114938209937329510.post-857295562260939652010-07-02T14:00:00.001-05:002010-07-02T14:02:38.012-05:00The Truth About Forever - Sarah DessenThis book is about a girl whose father has died and her mother no longer pays attention to her.

Oh my! These are just a few of the things you will find in <em>Fablehaven</em> by Brandon Mull. This is a wonderful fantasy book about Kendra and Seth Sorenson, and their adventure to Fablehaven, a magical preserve. To find out all of the adventures they have as they try save Fablehaven, after they break the rules and release evil, you have to read this fascinating book. I definitely give this book five out of five stars, and you'll know why when you read it.<br /><br />BSFeelutenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114938209937329510.post-64738474373776049042010-06-17T22:07:00.009-05:002010-06-21T11:46:45.056-05:00Faking 19 - Alyson NoelThe title of the book I read was <em>Faking 19</em> and was written by Alyson Noel. I recommend this book because it is very funny and also explains what someone from the real world would do. The teenager was put in some situations that I could be in and solved them in ways that I would normally do.

If so, then <em>The Red Pyramid</em> by Rick Riordan is the perfect book for you. This is the first book in <em>The Kane </em>Chronicles. Personally, I don't know a whole lot about Egyptian mythology, so I was a little lost while reading this book. But I liked how <em>The Red Pyramid</em> was jam-packed with adventure and action. In this book, Carter and Sadie Kane go on a typical trip with their father to the British Museum. Everything was completely normal until their father blew up the Rosetta Stone and released five of the most powerful Egyptian gods. Everything went downhill from there. I'd give this book four out of five stars.<br /><br />BBFeelutenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114938209937329510.post-57155904782311557642010-06-09T10:19:00.002-05:002010-06-09T10:22:16.125-05:00Queen of Babble - Meg CabotMeg Cabot's books are always great, and this one was no exception. Lizzie Nichols can't keep her mouth shut and when she flies to England to stay with the love of her life (which she has only met a few times), things get complicated. Because she can not keep her mouth shut, she winds up in many bad situations, but a few good ones too.

It had such a long build up and then seemed to end very quickly. Emily is an assistant district attorney who is hired to put Gregg Aldrich in jail for killing his successful actress wife. The only proof they have is from a career criminal though. Emiliy doesn't believe that he did it but must prove that he did. I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars.skgymnast28noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114938209937329510.post-3355335556762557502009-07-26T21:49:00.005-05:002009-07-29T18:18:23.525-05:00Spin Control - Niki Burnham<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xsVQhPmvwYI/SnDYtNZU6tI/AAAAAAAAACE/e4_Q-viUMcM/s1600-h/spin+control.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 78px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 130px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364025427399862994" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xsVQhPmvwYI/SnDYtNZU6tI/AAAAAAAAACE/e4_Q-viUMcM/s200/spin+control.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Valerie moves to England with her dad when her mom and dad get divorced because her mom is seeing someone else.

She thinks he's going to be just a bigger version of what he was when they were nine so she ignores him. But he is kinda cute. She goes on ignoring him whenever she can, that is until the snobby girl, Laney, takes an interest in Carver. Laney tells Natalie that she likes him which causes Natalie to be mad. But why?<br />She realizes her true feelings about him and her mother finds out. Natalie is already on a short leash, and her mom makes it shorter. Natalie is ditching summer school, and finding ways to see Carver without her mom knowing.

She works at her parents' restaurant all the time, she takes a ton of AP classes, and helps tutor kids after school. But when her parents leave her in charge of the restaurant for the weekend while they go to a wedding, she messes up. She needs to pay the Health Department $10,000 in a month. This book goes through the challenges and difficulties that she has to go through to make the money in order to pay back the Health Department as well as the relationships between the people she cares most about in her life, and those that she never even talked to....skgymnast28noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114938209937329510.post-40501099989362189402009-07-02T10:22:00.005-05:002009-07-07T10:46:47.417-05:00Miracle on 49th Street - Mike Lupica<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LHPyVrl-1HA/SlNiropohOI/AAAAAAAAAC8/MjtfC5FIJxw/s1600-h/miracle49.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 134px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 201px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355732883659588834" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LHPyVrl-1HA/SlNiropohOI/AAAAAAAAAC8/MjtfC5FIJxw/s320/miracle49.jpg" /></a><br />Seventh grader Molly Parker isn't buying the whole your dad died in a war. There has to be more. Before her mom dies from cancer she writes Molly a letter saying that Josh Cameron is her father. She is a little more than shocked. Josh is only the country's most eligible basketball player.When she meets Josh, the one the camera doesn't see, she doesn't think she likes it.I would recommend this book for people who like realistic fiction or somebody who wants to find out they have a famous dad. 246 pagesmluvsdogsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114938209937329510.post-2740515503331198032009-07-02T10:21:00.006-05:002009-07-07T10:51:13.489-05:00Straydog - Kathe Koja<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LHPyVrl-1HA/SlNi7ntfJ7I/AAAAAAAAADE/H0DIsLOZzi0/s1600-h/straydog.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; WIDTH: 119px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355733158285223858" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LHPyVrl-1HA/SlNi7ntfJ7I/AAAAAAAAADE/H0DIsLOZzi0/s320/straydog.jpg" /></a><br />Rachel is closing herself off from the world. The only time when she is really happy is when she is at the local animal shelter. She sees this beautiful collie-mix, and this one's different from the others, feels different. Her heart tugs whenever she sees her and can't have her. The collie, now named Grrl, is wild. She can't stay in a cage much longer, and Rachel knows that. So when a new kid comes into her English class and reads her essay about Grrl, he is hooked too. They devise a plan to bring Grrl home, so she's not in a cage anymore.I recommend this for dog lovers; your heart will tug for Grrl. 106 pagesmluvsdogsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114938209937329510.post-91168254558246460122009-07-02T10:19:00.003-05:002009-07-07T10:57:18.449-05:00Quaking - Kathryn Erskine<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LHPyVrl-1HA/SlNnxLFcW5I/AAAAAAAAADM/4QzZAo1MlM8/s1600-h/quaking.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 127px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 192px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355738476360522642" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LHPyVrl-1HA/SlNnxLFcW5I/AAAAAAAAADM/4QzZAo1MlM8/s320/quaking.jpg" /></a><br />Being passed around from relative to relative isn't fun; Matt would know. (Her name is Matt NOT Matilda.) She gets put with a Quaker family. She doesn't like her school, especially with a teacher and a bully on her back at all times. She has to watch her back, and she doesn't have any friends to do it. She decides to go to a Quaker meeting with Sam her caretaker. She thinks it's okay since nobody talks and it's a way to spend her lonely evenings. But when things are happening to the town's peace houses Matt doesn't know what to do. And when the Quaker meeting house gets attacked...I would recommend this book for people who aren't fitting in too well. 236 pagesmluvsdogsnoreply@blogger.com0
