My favourite books!


My favourite books are the Twilight books. These very exciting and good books are written by Stephenie Meyer. The first book (Twilight) is about Bella Swan who lives in Forks with her dad. In her new school she falls in love with a boy called Edward, but then she finds out that he's a vampire! But Bella doesn't care if he's a vampire. She still loves him. The rest of the books (New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn) are about all the dangerous and exciting adventures that Bella and Edward explore.

I think these books are really romantic but also exciting. I like those kinds of books. The books are quite long but they are worth to read! To find out more....you have to read them!

Harry Potter

Harry Potter är en kille som bor på en skola som heter Hogwarts. Men det är inte en helt vanlig skola....Det är en skola för Trollkarlar och häxor. Men på Hogwarts finns det en massa farliga saker som stora troll, jätte farliga trolkarlar mm, men den värsta av alla är Voldermort! Harry Potter är den bästa trollkarlen på skolan men Voldermort vill ha tag på honom fär att döda honom!

Suggestions!
















Here are some books that I suggest. They are really good.
The twilight books are much better than the movies.










Together (Tillsammans)


I read the book "The fifth man" recently (I've written about it some posts before this one) and now I'm reading "Together" or the original title is "Tillsammans" by Denise Rudberg. It's in Swedish and it's really good.

It's about three ordinary teenagers called Alexander, Theresa and Jakob. They go to a cooking course for a week during the summer holiday. That's the place where they meet each other.

Alexander's dad is not a nice person. He hits Alexander, his sister and his mum. He also always goes on business trips all the time which irritates Alexander a bit.

One day, the three friends go on a small vacation with Theresa's dad to an island. During the vacation, Alexander falls in love with Theresa. Then he finds out that Jakob is that too, but they don't fight about her which is good. Then Alexander's dad finds out about the small vacation that Alexander was on. He tries to find him...

To find out what more happens in this amazing book, READ IT!!! :)

I think this book is good because it's about friendship and I like reading those kinds of books. It's also a little bit of violence in it but not a lot.

I still think "The fifth man" is better than this book. You can read my previous post and see what it is about.

Books 'n' Blogs Year 7: Boy Overboard

Books 'n' Blogs Year 7: Boy Overboard: "I dont really like this book becouse it´s abit boring for my taste. I´d rather read a action or even look at a action movie.I would suggest..."

The fifth man (Den femte mannen) by Carlo Laszlo


I read a swedish book recently called "The fifth man" and the author is Carlo Laszlo. It's about Anna and Arvin who are a couple.


A foreign shopkeeper was shot below the ear by a racist and Anna and Arvin saw the guilty one. Together with their friend Lasse they try to solve the mystery with the racist or the racists. They also try to convince the police that they know who shot the shopkeeper but they won't listen to them beacause they're only 16. Anna, Arvin and Lasse have many clues but there are some obstacles in the way.


Lasse is a very smart boy which is good when they're solving the mystery. Anna is a very brave girl which is a good benefit because then she will take risks. Arvin is not very brave but he anyway goes on the adventures that Anna and Lasse explore, but he is also a big part of solving the mystery.

I recommend this book to everyone who likes adventures and mysteries because it has a lot of that. I don't recommend this book to those who like reading love stories because there is not much of that. I think this book is very good because I love reading mysteries and adventures.

To find out why the book is called "The fifth man" you have to read this exciting book!!!

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

eragon


hi, read this book in fifth grade.
The poor peasant boy Eragon's life changes completely when one day he finds a beautiful blue stone that turns out to be a drakägg.
The egg hatches and Eragon and Saphira, dragonchild become the friends in secret. From the day tied their fates forever to each other.

This epic fantasy novel written by the only 15-year-old Christopher Paolini. By chance, it ended up in one of the largest publishers in the U.S. and was instantly huge hit when it was released. In just six months it was sold over a million copies and the book is now translated into several languages worldwide.

Written by a 15-year old and has everything a young reader wishes and more, dragons, elves, mystery, passion, conflict and love. An adventure story in the fantasy tradition enchanting style. Equally wonderful habit of fantasy readers for budding fantasy lovers.
And in the true spirit of fantasy is the story of Eragon is supposed to be a trilogy.

Boy Overboard


I dont really like this book bocouse it´s abit boring for my taste.
I´d rather read a action or even look at a action movie.
I would suggest this book for those who like drama, action and abit of adventure book´s. If i had too rate this book from 1 to 10 i would give it a 4.
The most important person in the is Jamal becouse he almost picks the tempo of the book becouse he tells what´s happening in third person. So that was my book review.

The Bro Code


The Bro Code is a hilarious book based on the (of course) Bro Code which has been mentioned a very long time ago. Now it's more based on the tv-series How I Met Your Mother, or to be more specific, the character Barneys belief in the Bro Code.



The book is written as if Barney himself wrote it, although it was actually Math Kuhn who wrote it. Anyway, the book is awesome, it's numbered with more than 100 rules that you should follow to be a so called bro. Heres some examples of some paragraphs in the Bro Code:



Appropriate "Bro" Usage: Inappropriate "Bro" Usage:



Nabroleon

Tom Brokaw

Bro Jackson

Teddy Broosevelt

Broce Springsteen


Inappropriate "Bro Usage:



Broan of Arc


Brovara Walters


Bro J. Simpson


Gerrardine Ferrarbro


Broko Ono


Although most people CAN read it, I guess you need some maturity to read it as it has got some nasty occasions and so on which can be inappropriate for some ages.



As said, it's a great book and I really recommend it for people who watches "How I met Your Mother".

A Thousand Splendid Suns

This book is about Mariam, who lives with her mother Nana in a little house, not big at all. They haven't got a lot of money.
They call Mariam a "harami" (bastard, or in swedish 'oäkting') because her mother was only a maid to Mariam's father Jahlil.
Her father's wives forced Mariam's mother out, and then built her a little house far from the village.
Mariam dreamt of living with her father since the very beginning of her life. She loves her father, even though her mother can't stand his actions, leaving both her and Mariam.
Jahlil visits Mariam every thursday, chatting with her and such. He tells her about the life in Herat, about the green and happiness.
Although, it all turns around as her mother died and her father forces her to marry a man she doesn't love.

This is a heartbreaking story about friendship, sorrow and power.

Hawksong

Hawksong is a book written by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.

The book is about two people. The Avian and the Serpiente. What both have in common is the ability to shift shape, the avians into beautiful birds and the serpiente into hauntingly beautiful snakes. The two people have been at war for as long as Danica Shardae, the heir to the avian throne, can remember, and she is tired of it! She is tired of losing everyone she loves to the Serpiente, tired of fighting a war she knows no one will ever win. So she sets out to make a deal with Zane Cobrianna the future leader of the Serpiente.
The book is set around 750 BCE and tells the story of Zane and Danica in an attempt to unite the two kingdoms.

This book is the first in the Kiesha'ra series. I love this book because it is beautifully written and describes everything so clearly. I also really admire the authour because she got her first novel published at the age of thirteen. The negative thing about the whole series is that every book is read from a new persons point of view so it can be very confusing. Another negative thing is that they are so thin that you have finished the book in about a day when reading slowly. All in all I really like this book.

Across The Nightingale Floor


I book I read recently is Across The Nightingale Floor byLian Hearn. It is the first book in the trilogy "Tales of the Otori."

It follows a sixteen year old boy named Takeo in a country much like Japan. His life is completely changed when his whole village burns down and he is adopted the mysterious Lord Otori Shigeru of Hagi. He starts a new life as heir to the throne in Hagi and the Otori Clan. But a mysterious organization called The Tribe claims Takeo as their own and they have dark plans for his future. Because Takeo has great magical powers- he can make himself invisible, he can be in two places at once, and has the ability to hear what other people cannot. In the view of The Tribe this makes him the perfect assassin, a deadly weapon. But before he can pledge his life to them he must take a very dangerous path, revenge. There is no time nor place for falling in love... but when Takeo meets the beautiful Kaede, he knows that his heart will never give her up.

I love this book. I first read when I was eleven years old and I have loved it ever since. What I love about the book is that it is written so beautifully and all the characters are described in such detail it feels as if they are next to you, actual existing people. Another thing that is wonderful about this book is that it doesn't move along so quickly that you have no time to understand what is happening. In all of her work, Lian Hearn writes so slowly, beautifully and in so much detail that you understand exactly what is happening and why. I

I would recommend this book to any one who likes reading in general.

The Book Thief


I have read the book "The Book Thief". In swedish, "Boktjuven" . It is about a girl who is called Liesel. She is living in Germany in year 1939 when it is World War II. Her little borther died and her mother leaved her. Liesel came to a new family with a new mother and a new father.


Liesel loved to read book, but there was a problem...she could not read. Every night when she had a nightmare about her brothers death she woke up and then she sat with her new father and learned to read. Liesel had just one book to read, but it didn´t take that long time before she had read it many times. She wanted new books but the family could not buy any books to her because they didn´t had so much money. Then Liesel started to steal books, from the libary, neighbors... everywhere.


I think it is a really good book because you were looking on the World War II in a different angel, how the childrens were living in that time, when they didn´t had any money or food to eat. It is a book that I can recommend!

En ö i havet

I've just started to read a book called ''En ö i havet''. The book takes place in Sweden (year 1935-50. It's about two girls called Steffi and Nelli that has moved from Wien, Austria from the World war 2. Steffi and Nelli live with different familys. Steffi live with an woman called Märta, she can't speak german so she has it really hard to communicate with Steffi. Nelli lives with a woman called Alma. She also can't speak swedish.
That's all I know about the book so....

Hoot

I am currently reading the book Hoot. It is a about a normal boy named Roy, who recently moved to a new town and doesn't really have any friends. One day he sees a boy running down the street without any shoes or socks and wonders what he's doing. He hasn't seen him before at all, not in school or anywhere else.
He later in the book meets him and finds out that a pancake company is building a shop over an owl nest (they have a nest underground) and he's trying to stop them. He gets to know the boy, Mullet Fingers and his sister Beatrice. I haven't read much more and i will continue reading it! I would recommend this book.

//Victor, 7E

The Kite Runner

This book is also known as "Flyga Drake" in swedish.
It is about a boy named Amir and his servant Hassan, and they're best friends.
They live in Kabul which is described as a very colorful and happy place, a magical place.
Hassan suddenly got raped by a couple of boys, trying to teach him a lesson.
So he moves, knowing he couldn't live with such humiliation.
Amir knows why, but he doesn't tell anyone, so Amir's father hasn't got a clue why Hassan moved away with his father.
Later on, Afghanistan is invaded by The Soviet Union, so Amir and his father have to flee the country, to California.
Then the story moves to when Amir is about twentyfive years old, and he hasn't seen Hassan since they were little.
His dying uncle tells him to come to Afghanistan to meet him.
When he arrived, he gets some very sad and terrible news.

This book has a heartbreaking story which makes you smile at the same time. You wish the pages would keep on going forever.

Den nödvändiga boken med värdelöst vetande om fotboll


This is a book with useless info about fotball.
tex did you know that Chelsea FC was created becaus there were a fotball stadium there no one wanted to play on.
Brazil is the one team that have won VM most times(5).
it is a good book and it is verry fun if you like fotball.

Catching Fire


Recently I have been reading a book called Catching Fire. Catching Fire is the second book in the Hunger Games trioligy. The books are set in the land of Panem, the country that rose up from the ruins of North America. Panem is dictated by the people of the Capitol, who are rich and powerful, while the 12 districts are struggling to get by. Every year the Capitol forces two young people from every district to particpiate in the Hunger Games where the motto is "Kill or be killed."

The series follow the lifes of two characters: Katniss Everdeen, a wild girl who struggles to keep her family at life and Peeta Mellark, the local bakers son. Both of the so called "Tributes" originate from District 12, the poorest of all the districts.

I really enjoyed the first book and so far I am enjoying the second one. I would reccomend this book for anyone who loves a good fantasy book with an amazing twist.

"Glöm mig inte" (Don't forget me)
I've been reading Don't forget me, and so far I've read 40 pages.
It's about a girl named Stella who's 17 years old, and recently a neighbours child disappeared, abducted they say.
The day after the disappering the police shows up, looking for her mother Teresa Parfitt.
Stella knew they would interview everyone in the neighbourhood, so at first it didn't surprise her.
Although she realized it was something special as her mother found out that the police wanted to talk to her.
After the interview her mother tells Stella about something that happened 20 years ago, when a girl was abducted in her presence, and immediatly her mother became headsuspect in the investigation.
Now Stella isn't sure anymore about her mother, is it true that she might have abducted that litte girl twenty years ago, or the one who disappeared now?

Punk Rock Chapter 7 Summary



This is my second post on this blog about "Punk Rock" by Richard Allen.

In this chapter Raymond Kerr goes to a Punk festival in some park in London. During one of the concerts a girl tries to get up on the stage a guard tries to stop her the lead singer in the band takes a guitar and smashes it on the guards head a massive brawl braks out. Kerr is knocked to the ground by a skinhead. One of the punks takes out a knife and "carves" his way towards the skinhead.
Kerr finally makes it out of the festival and calls the police but they say: You'd be better of to talk to the people who arranged the festival. Then he calls his boss.

So there's a summary of what happened in chapter 7 of "Punk Rock" by Richard Allen.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is based on a kid that writes in his diary and the author has made the book so you read out of his diary. The kid that writes in his diary is named greg and he has an evil brother that he dislikes.

Greg writes about everything he goes through for about 3 years so far. I hope that they make a new Diary of a Wimpy Kid that tells you about his late teens. I would recommend this book to any boy/teen.I have read every single Diary of a Wimpy Kid and i only liked the last 2 books that are made so far.

Boy Overboard

"Boy Overboard" By Morris Gleitzman is a well written book with a great story, the main character is Jamal, who lives in afghanistan, he lives with his Mother, Father and Sister. Jamal loves to play football and hes a big Manchester United fan.
Ever since the talibans have taken over the country, they have implied cruel rules, such as disallowing education. Jamals mother and father runs a illigeal school at their home.
As the government finds out about this they try to execute Jamals parents, their house is blown up and they are forced to try to move out of the country. They have to go a long way to reach safety, and its not easy.

Right now I'm reading a book called ``Diary of a wimpy kid Rodrick Rules´´that is the second book in the series and it seems to be a really good book. This book doesen't really have chapters it's more like days when the main character Greg tells the reader what he have been trought.

So far in the book I have come to a part when Greg is supposed to write a letter in french to a guy in France but as usualy Greg is very lazy and tells the guy in France that both of them should speak in english instead.

I really recomend this book because so far the book is really intresting and really funny.

I Have also read the first book and i think that they are the same funny but I really recomend this book and hope you will read it soon.

Boy Overboard

So far... Boy Overboard has been a good story about a family who has to move because the goverment blows up their house. The goverment blows up their house because according to them they broke the taliban rules.

The family is made up of Jamal, Bibi, and there parents which i dont know the names of. Their dad leaves them at a abbandoned gas station with food and money. He leaves them because he needs to pick up their mom at a football stadium.

That is all i have read so far....

Measle Stubbs and vredesmunken








This is a swedish book and it's called Measlle Stubs och Vredesmunken, I don't know what it's called in english so I went on Translate and it said that it was called Measle Stubbs and the angry monk..???
I like this book very much.
Measle Stubbs is a boy who lives with his parents in a nice little house but across the street there lives a wierd man. It's Measles Uncle but Measle dosen't know him. The only thing he does know about his uncle is that he never talks to enyone after his wife died.
His uncles house is painted in black and there's always a dark raincloud over his house.
The raincloud follows his uncle wherever he goes..
One day his parents dies in a car crash (I think) so Measle have to live with his uncle. He's uncle get's all the money from his parents and he dosen't even give Measle a dollar. His uncle is very mean to him and Measle can only sleep on the dirty floor in the kitchen.
He don't get eny food and he never showers, that's why Measle is really thin and smells. His uncle is also very thin and pale.
One day his uncle takes Measle to his attic and when Measle sees the huge playtown of wood he really wishes that he could play with it, but of course he's not allowed.
One day Measle is in the kitchen and see's the telephone and get's an idea.
He calls he's uncles mobilephone and his uncle walks slowly to his phone (because he was eating doughnuts with pink milk), Measle tells his uncle that he have to come to the bank and talk about the money that is left from Measles parents.
His uncle curses and goes to the bank.
Measle runs up to the attic and sees the playtown and the doughnuts with a bottle of pink milk.
Measle first takes one doughnut, and then another and then alot of pink milk. Measle didn't think of how much doughnuts he had taken so he looked at the box where the doughtnuts where and it was empty! The milk bottle was also empty.
He decided to not think about it right now because that would waste his "play" time.
He looked at his uncles playtown and saw that the figures in the town looked really real.
There was a kid, a man fixing the lights and a old lady with a small dog.
Measle heard footsteps. Measle didn't have any wear to hide.
He heard that someone stopped outside the door.
Measle decided to hide behind the door and sneak out when his uncle wasn't looking but that never happend.
His uncle open the door and looked straight at Measle and said:
-Why are you in here Meassssssle? You know you shouldn't be here.
Measle hated the way that his uncle talked. He always sounded lake a snake.
-I am very sorr...
Measle didn't finish his sentence because his uncle had started to count.
-Three, four and five.
His uncle said a spell and Measle started to shrink.
Measle shrunk even more until he was so small like the dolls in the playtown.
His uncle put Measle on the table of wood, laughed and walked away.

I want to wright more about this book but I can't because I will wright to much.

A letter from Jamal....

Today I've been playing football with Yusuf. It was really fun but suddenly Bibi came out! Girls aren't allowed to be outisde or play football. I couldn't stop her, she ran to the ball and kicked it. The ball landed next to a tank!
We tried to get the ball for a long time because the ball was under the tank. I was a bit scared because I thought the tank was going to shoot on us. In the end everything turned out fine.

Marked


Zoey Redbird is a usual girl until she get marked. When you get marked you have to leave your family and your human life behind, and start your new life as a vampire. House of night is the Vamp school that have to go too. There you will be studying your new life (a vampire life) or you die. If you don´t go too the school you will die in a few days. So Zoey goes to The House of Nights. It´s not really different to live a vamp-life and a human life, you go shopping, watch TV and be with vampire friends. But Zoey got more than just boyfriend problems...

Boy Overboard - Morris Gleitzman


Chapter 12 of this book is really dramatic. Jamal, the main character, is only 12 and lives in Afghanistan. He loves football and one day follows his dad into a football stadium because he thinks he will meet a football manager and become famous. However, when he gets into the stadium he doesn't find a famous football team or Sir Alex Ferguson, he finds Taliban soldiers about to punish women who have been caught teaching illegally. One of those women is his mum!
Jamal knows he has to do something and runs to save his mum, but he is too late. Before he can reach her a taxi screams into the stadium, amongst a cloud of smoke and his mother is rescued before the soldiers can shoot.

It is only later that Jamal realises that his mother's rescuer is his father, a true hero!

This was very exciting and dramatic, I was so pleased that Jamal's family is safe but I was sad that the other women in the stadium did not escape.

I can't wait to read the rest of the book. Jamal's family is now on the run and I really hope that they can escape to somewhere safe.

This book is about a journalist in London during the seventies. His boss tells him to write about the average day of a Punk rocker. I am at the fifth chapter on page 31. This book was written in 1977. It looks like a really good book and will write more the further i get.

There is also movies made: Twilight,New Moon and Eclipse but the fourth book is coming out sometime next year,I think (Breaking Dawn).
There is a movieparody of all the Twilight movies: Vampires Suck.
Vampires Suck.
I have seen the movie and it's really funny.

I like the books and the movies equally because they are so different.
In the book Stephenie discribes more details,people and places.
In the movies it's just so different, so I think it's better to see the movies first and then read the books because then it's much easier to understand where the people in the book are.

Holes by Louis Sachar

I love this book!

I first read Holes about 7 years ago when I was preparing to teach it to a Year 8 class. I loved it so much that I have read it over and again many times and have now taught it to students at 3 different schools - I just love introducing students to this book.

I love it because the story is brilliantly clever. Stanley is a shy, lonely boy who undergoes a complete transformation throughout the novel. It is hard to believe that the boy at the end is the same boy as at the beginning of the book. He meets a whole group of new people and makes some good friends.

The way that the story is written is fascinating because the author tells stories from the past that all have an effect on the story of Stanley in the present and it is not until the very end that you can see how it all fits together. Just like a jigsaw puzzle!

Zero is my favourite character because he does not say or do things just because other people think he should. The others all think that he is stupid but he proves them all wrong. At the end the baddies get punished and the good guys are rewarded - just as it should be!

Everybody should read this book and the movie is pretty good too :)
