Hey, you've GOT to read these.
This is Anna speaking, I still can't remember my password DX
Anyway. I've been on sort of a reading binge lately [I know, what a bookworm :p] And I have some [Ok, 4 or 5] books that you would LOVE if you're like me.
PRIVATE PEACEFUL:
This book is about a guy reliving his childhood, and then his life in the military. It's sad, but it's really really good. It conveys the life of a soldier and his family as well as the life of just a normal teenage boy dealing with World War 1 and all of the other teenage drama stuff.
NOT AS CRAZY AS I SEEM:
A 14 year old boy has OCD-in one of the worst ways. The book is about living through it as a teenager in a prep school. He can't step outside his box, and he doesn't want to [which is an interesting twist, believe me]. A really good book that makes you think about what mental issues YOU may have :p
CRUNCH TIME:
Ok. Maybe not the best book to read right before the SATs. Because that's what it's about; 4 high school juniors start an SAT prep study group. It's told from each of the 4 people's POV [that's Point of View :p]. Then, someone cheats! :o
But who could it be? By the end, you don't really care, even though it's a significant element to the WHOLE novel. You wouldn't believe how everything is connected. Anyway, it goes through the whole high school drama/college nervousness really well, and you get to hear what it's like for the guys, and the girls; you get to hear both sides of almost every story. It's just GREAT XD
GO ASK ALICE:
About a girl who gets into drugs during the hippie age, and her downward spiral then her upward struggle. Great. Need I say more? Anyway, it's great, and real [because it's a real diary] and you can really see her change. Just fantastic. A must-read.

Hey, this is Chase... I read a book, too! And I really liked it! Haha...

Quick read, and a great book. True story, too.
