What makes a good book?

Everybody likes different books, but what we don't realize is that no matter what book we have, there is one common feeling in all of them; anger. When reading a book, you will always feel anger, whether it's anger towards the antagonist, or anger that just wells up inside of you when it does in the characters of your book. So no matter what we read; a tragedy, mystery, or an action packed book, there is always going to be anger. This goes to show that no matter what we read we're all pretty much reading the same books. In every book there is not only anger, but there is resentment and happiness. Books also have a evil character, a character that does not seem good but isn't quite evil, and your head protagonist. So what makes a good book? I think the question now is "Why do people say that they don't like a certain kind of book if in reality, there all the same?"

Ark Angel


After barely surviving a hospital break in, Alex Rider embarks on an adventure in the book Ark Angel which is 326 pages. Alex is staying with Nikolei Drevin, a billionaire who has decided to reward Alex for saving his son Paul from kidnappers. But soon Alex believes that he shouldn't trust Drevin, and the CIA soon confirms his fears. And the only person it seems Alex can trust is an undercover CIA agent who he can't seem to find. But you won't know who that is until you read this amazing book.

Superstitions....Crazy? Or not?

People all around have some pretty unique superstitions, and I wonder as I think of those people, "Are they crazy?" Now, most superstitions are perfectly normal and those are the ones that are more widely known. But the one I wonder about are the ones that you don't see very often see out on the street. I don't know many of these so it would be greatly appreciated if someone(That's you. Yeah, you looking at the screen!) could comment about some semi- strange superstitions that they see in their neighborhood. Bye, and remember, I'm watching!
