The Running Dream

This book proves that you don't really need action scenes or true love to make a story interesting.

The Running Dream is inspirational. It reminds you to appreciate what you have and what you love. That people who are different should be celebrated.

I admit, I cried at the end. (happy crying☺)

This book is about a girl named Jessica who's lost part of her right leg in a bus accident, which means she'll probably never be able to run again. It shows how she over comes obstacles, from little things like  walking a few feet on crutches, to navigating through high school.

There's nothing over-dramatic. Jessica's doesn't suddenly just start walking. It's a steady climb up. It's very true to what I think it would actually be like to lose a leg.

Fans of Jerry Spinelli and realistic fiction will enjoy this book!

Peace, Love, and I Give This Five Stars!

Delirium

Amazing.
Utterly, fantastically amazing.


The characters, the descriptions, the plot, everything.


Amazing.


Delirium is set in a dystopian earth, where love is believed to be a disease and you are cured of it when you turn eighteen. Lena can't wait, she's been told that everything will be better, safer, once she's cured.  But then, about three months before her procedure, it happens.
Lena falls in love.



Lauren Oliver has flawless descriptions of everything. Some pieces are so poetic I almost gasped out loud. How she writing about love, and life itself, is stunning.


“Now I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.” 
― Lauren Oliver, Delirium


It will inspire you, and leave you thinking. When it finished, I wanted to reread it, just to soak up every word completely. 


I love the character Alex. He's cute, charming, caring, sweet, and I wish I knew him. *Sigh*


A must read for fans of The Hunger Games.
And fans of Twilight, too, I guess.

Speak

I dont usually do negative posts, so I decided to spice things up a bit.

This book was not my favorite.
In fact, I ditched it about two-thirds of the way through.

At first, I could kind of relate with Melinda.
Then I pitied her.

And then I realized that the reason she has no friends isn't because she's misunderstood, it's because she's depressed and sad and rude.

The book is also kind of... mature. If you know what I mean.

So, this is a do-not-read in my mind.


Peace, Love, and I Can be Negative. Sometimes.

Twilight

What I liked -

Witty dialogue. Somewhat interesting characters. Funny. Cool cover. Sweet (-ish) love story.


What I didn't like -

Cliche. Bella is pretty much helpless. Sparkly vampires? (Really?) Plot leaves lot to be desired.


Peace, Love, and I know I already reviewed this.
