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!

Grizzlys game on 5/8/10: Did they win? Did they loose? I don't know!?

Imagine my surprise when my friend called on Saturday asking if I wanted to go with her to a Grizzlies game. Of course I said yes, since her family has season tickets, they could always go, but I have only gone a few times. When we got to the stadium, I was stunned to find that we had front row seats. But, everything has a down side, and I noticed it right when we sat down. A bunch of other fans were pushing in front of us trying to get autographs! I was super annoyed but relieved when the game started since they had to go back to their on seats. Unfortunately, it was not one of the Grizzles best games. But I don't know if they lost or won in the end since we left at the start of the eighth inning after the eyeball race. The night had several ups and downs and I have to say that one of the ups was when the Grizzlies mascot Parker ran onto the field with a little boy who was wearing a mini Parker suit. Everybody thought that it was especially cute when he started to dance. When I got home that night I was so pumped that I thought I would never get to sleep. But I passed out the moment my head hit my pillow.

Scorpia

"Scorpia never forgets. Scorpia never forgives" These are two lines from Scorpia, another Alex Rider book by Anthony Horowitz. If you read this 388 page book you would experience a journey Alex takes to discover the truth about the organization his father supposedly worked for named Scorpia. Julia Rothman recruited Alex to Scorpia by showing him a video to show that Mrs. Jones, the deputy head of MI6, was behind the death of Alex's father. So Alex's first field assignment is to kill her, but he can't do it and is captured. He is then taken to a meeting where he discovers Scorpia's most recent plot, a project called Invisible Sword. Invisible Sword will kill thousands of innocent school children, unless Alex can stop it. But in the end there is a truth so shocking, that not even the most brilliant person in the world could have guessed it. But I'm not going to tell you, so read this book if you ever want to find out.

Eagal Strike

Anthony Horowitz does it again with the Alex Rider book Eagle Strike. In 322 pages, Alex sees a contract killer, has a run on with an evil famous pop star, takes a trip on Air Force One, sees that contract killer die, and finds out that he is the son of a contract killer. After Alex's friend Sabina invites him to go on vacation with her, he gets tied up with Damian Cray, a mad pop star who ordered contract killer Yassen Gregorovich. Yassen was ordered to kill Sabina's father, a journalist working in a story about Cray. Cray, in truth, was launching Eagle Strike, a project to take over Air Force One and launch all of America's nuclear missiles and destroy the places where drugs come from. Alex stops Cray but then learns a horrible truth from a dying Yassen. His father was a contract killer, and even though it was terrible news, it leaves the reader wanting more. So, if you want more details you would have to read Eagle Strike by Anthony Horowitz.
