To Kill a Mockingbird

I just started reading the book To Kill a Mockingbird. It takes place in an old country town called Maycomb. It's about a boy named Jem and a girl named Scout, they are siblings. I red about half of the book but it got really boring so I stopped reading it. It was about a black man who was not treated fairly and he was sentenced to life in jail for something he didn't do. Of course, because he was black everyone just though he was lying. Everyone that is except for Atticus, Scout and Jem's dad. This book was not interesting and I would not recomend it for many people.

The Time Travelers Wife

OMG! I love this book... but I wouldn't recommend it for younger readers. It's about a guy named Henry who time travels, but he can't control when he goes or comes. This book is really weird though because when he is older he travels back in time and meets a girl named Clare. only when he meets her she is six and he is thirty something. In present time though they only have an eight year age difference... I think. Over time he always returns back to Clare's house and they build a strong friendship. So, when she gets older and he meets her in the present they are about the same age. Long story short, they get married and have one daughter named Alba. I finished the book last night and it is soooo sad. I won't say exactly how it happens, in case any of you guys want to read it, but he dies. Obviously!!! It is so sad though the way it happens,. Early on in the book he gets shot, and you think it going to end there but of course there is so much of the story left it can't be like that. What you don't know at that point is that he was older then and so when he is that age in his present he dies. It's amazing how attached you can get to characters in a book, any ways it was really really sad. But you should definitely read it!!

Polls!!

Hey guys vote on some of my polls!!

Detectives in Togs 6

Ok, so basically the boys are rescued by their teacher and Lukos, who btw is really Tellus Lukos is just a fake identity he used to make more money, escaped to the roof. He though he would be tricky and used the boys old trick by jumping into the Baths of Diana. What he didn't know though was the baths had already been drained for the night, so when he jumped he fell onto concrete. Obviously, he died. The boys and Xantippus arrived at the jail just in time to save Rufus before he was shipped off to be a galley slave. Tellus had bribed the guard into sending him away, in fear that he might be released then Tellus would be found guilty. So the book is just like your typical story, happy, problem, happy again. Well, this is like my last blog so peace out people!! I really won't miss you but I guess that's what I'm supposed to say so... you get the point.
