To kill a mockingbirdTo Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Kelly's Rating: ★★★

Review:
For it's time, To Kill A Mockingbird was actually pretty well written. It had 2 parts: Part 1 acted as an intro to the book and Part 2 acted as the real story. I thought it was good, but I do have a couple of complaints. My biggest complaint was the fact that the story took a long time to progress. My second complaint is about the character development. There wasn't an overflow of characters, which was good, but there were only a few characters who were recognized and considered "important." I liked this story a lot because it felt like a real-life story. It was a nice change of pace. It was also a good history lesson! I found out more about segregation and life back in the the Great Depression in 1935!

Conley's Rating: ★★★★

Review:
Don't judge anything by age. At first, I was very skeptical, but as I kept reading I fell in love with it. The book follows the young life of a girl named Scout and highlights points in her life from when she was 5 through 7. In the tiny town of Maycomb, Alabama, Scout has to grow up dealing with her father's lawyer business and her brother's adolescence. All the characters are deeply detailed and seem like real people. It all leads up to a stunning ending no one could have seen coming. Overall, the book kept me entertained throughout the entire adventure. Definitely a must read for anybody.

The hostThe Host by Stephenie Meyer
Teodora's Rating: ★★★★★

Review:
In The Host, Earth is now inhabited by parasites that take over their human host's minds. These parasites called "souls" usually don't encounter any resistance from the former occupant of the mind. Wanderer, a soul occupying a human named Melanie, is one of those rare cases. Bombarded with thoughts, memories, and the loves of Melanie's past life leads Wanderer to leaver her own kind and travel into the unknown. The Host caught me by surprise. I had expected a corny love triangle and extensive sci-fi action. While having many edge-of-your-seat moments, what I got was a heartfelt story filled with emotion and tough choices. One thing I praise the author for, is writing in the unique perspective of the character Wanderer, the parasite, and the conflicts both physically and mentally between Melanie, the prisoner trapped within her own mind.
