This book was the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid book I have read which is weird since this is the last book….. lol but this book was pretty good. The whole thing revolved around Greg (wimpy kid), and it’s about how he likes this girl and triys to talk to her, but it never works out how he plans it to go. The bullies at his school tease him…………. But he does some really embarassing stuff in this book…… I might just have to read the rest of them lol……!☺

DOVEY COE is about a twelve-year-old girl who is practically a tomboy. She lives in Indian Creek in the mountains of North Carolina. Dovey has a little problem when it comes to keeping her mouth shut. She is really close to her older brother, Angus, who is deaf. Angus has two dogs that were given to him to protect him- Tom and Huck. She also has a sister that’s older than both Dovey and Angus, Caroline, who catches all men’s attention and wishes to become a teacher. But the boy that hopes to marry Caroline one day is Parnell Caraway. Dovey does her best to do whatever she can to take his eyes off of her sister.

I will have to say that DOVEY COE is a really great book. I recommend this to those who like suspense and sad books. Read this book to find out if Dovey’s plan works or if she gets into trouble that will cause hearts to skip a beat…

A Bend in the Road By: Nicholas Sparks

abomb14 — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:22:47 +0000

This is the only Nicholas Sparks book I haven’t cried in, though it just might be my favorite by him. Usually in the end of his books, somebody dies or something and it makes you cry. This book had a very very happy ending to it. Everyone should read it. It’s about a policeman named Miles whose wife died in a hit- and- run. He eventually gets over her death and meets a woman named Sarah, who is also his son’s teacher. They fall in love, but later on find out a terrible secret that could possibly break them apart. To find out what it is, you have to read the book!!
