Change in Mind

I noticed over the year from 8th grade to 9th grade my genre has changed. I loved the vampire stories and scary stories  in 8th grade but over the few months of high school I've grown to love romantic novels and comedic novels. I really donut understand it maybe i realized it was time to mature and move on from the typical baby books and start reading adult books. So I moved on up to better places! one book I read that changed me was Feed it was such a very interesting book and i really enjoyed reading it and getting to know all the characters.  Some characters are more outgoing than others and I really like that because it shows individuality. Overall this book was great and I definitely want to read more like it!

Crunch Time

In a book i read long ago called Crunch Time It was about a group of college students who stress over this huge test that could make there future or cripple it before it even starts. I like how the story splits up into the different characters and tells there story and there daily life its like the book has its own different personality! Soon the characters meet each other and decided to have this big study group to help each other out and help each other succeed on the test. Soon the study group turns into a cheating scheme that may jeopardize the group of college students even more. i love how the different characters have there own say in the scheme and some are more into it than others and  the ending turns out quite well which i love the most!overall i would give this little book a 4/5 stars because it had Good character displacement and has its own like mini stories in them explaining all the characters. i also love how it goes from sweet and Innocent to hardcore and rough.

Reviews
"I am a parent of an 11 year old who read this for her 6th grade book report. As she was reading she was excited about it and read some of it to me in small pieces. I told her a few times it sounded like something that shouldn't be in the school library. She insisted it was good. She finished the book last night and told me, "It changed my life". How many 11 year olds tell you that? I was amazed. She said it touched her and made her want to be a better person. That is how I came here to Amazon. Any book that has that kind of affect I want to research and get a copy of so I can read it. I want to know what changed my daughters outlook. She said this book replaced 'Where the Red Fern Grows' as her favorite. That is big!'-
