Scarlett Fever by Maureen Johnson

Scarlett Fever is a weak follow-up to a better Suite Scarlett. It seems to try to emulate the same ideas and themes that were interesting in the first book but most of them just fall flat. However, sparkling characters like Spencer, the chairman Murray, and Amy Ambrose color the book. Rating: 3 out of 5

The Wrestler (Movie)

The Wrestler was so good! A lot of it was pretty graphic and stuff but the plot was good and I loved the ending. It wasn't generic at all and the acting was very good. NOT GOOD TO SEE IF YOU'RE YOUNG! It would be pretty scary haha. Rating: 4 out of 5

Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams by Sylvia Plath

Although Plath's writing was as paranormal, flawless, and as engaging as normal the order in which her selections were placed was awkward and made little sense with seemingly unrelated essays, short stories, and journal entries thrown together, making the book unreadable as a whole. However, each individual entry was superb and I enjoyed each with no dependence on the subject matter as Plath can make a topic to read about. Rating: 3 out of 5

Gollywhopper Games by Jody Feldman

I thought The Gollywhopper Games was very good and was an interesting story. It was very similar to Willy Wonka. A boy named Gil is participating in these games. They have to try to solve clues and it keeps you hooked because you want to know whether they will solve the challenge or not. Rating: 4/5

When in Rome (movie)

When in Rome was about a girl who travels to Rome, Italy, for her sister's wedding and takes five coins out of the "Fountain of Love." Five men magically fall in love with her and the only way to have the spell broken is to return the coins back to the fountain. This movie is cute, hilarious, unpredictable, and a definite must-see movie. Rating: 5 out of 5

Sea Glass by Maria V. Snyder

The second book in Synder's trilogy "Glass" was a disappointing follow up to the first. The action seemed forced and was too similar to her other books. However, twists involving the soul-switch of Urlick and Delvin was intriguing and as always, Synder's voice is shining and melodic.

Rating: 3/5

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

Speak was a good book except it dragged on a bit. It was very descriptive and easy to relate to. Speak wasn't one of the best books I've ever read, but it was pretty good. Rating: 2 out of 5
