Incarceron, by Catherine Fisher

This book is really good because it has many twists and turns. Also this book shows how enemies can also become friends. This is a really good book.

My rating: ***** 5 stars

Halo - Cryptum, by Greg Bear

Pretty good book, for grades 6 to10. It's confusing, and it's a little bit stupid in some ways if you didn't read the previous books or played the video games.

My rating: **** 4 stars

Dead Space 2 (Video Game)

Obviously the best game this month. It's so scary that you would need your mom to sit next to you! "Necromorphs" pop out of nowhere and if you kind of suck at video games, it will be frustrating, because on the easiest level, I still died a lot. I'm pretty good at video games, so I'm not complaining.

My rating: ***** 5 stars

The Way of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson has published yet another fantasy novel! This storyline takes place on the world of Roshar, a rocky land perpetually wracked by immensely dangerous storms. The three protagonists struggle to win over their enemies while trying to keep insanity at bay. Filled with adventure, suspense, and magic, The Way of Kings is a compelling read that will not let you down.

My rating: ***** 5 stars

Wired, by Robin Wasserman


A tightly-woven story that focuses on the loss of humanity, and what it really means to be human. The sequel to Skinned, this novel develops the idea of Faithers, who are anti-skinners and pro-human. The main character, Lia, feels like she has lost what it means to be human, but then discovers her humanity in the most surprising places. Each more surprising than the last, it is when Lia finds out that her make is not unique to her, and that the group she lives with, who think the "Skinners" are more superior than humans, might be keeping secrets and have an unholy connection with Biotech.

My rating: **** 4 stars

The Body Toxic, by Nena Baker

This book was really good. It was really shocking, and makes you rethink how you live. It's all about the hundreds of chemicals in our everyday life and the environment. It is interesting, but really scary because of how many companies hide what is in their products and food, and the tragic effects of these chemicals. This is a non-fiction book and research-based, but definitely a must read!

My rating: ***** 5 stars
