        I have recently started a new book. The book that I started was Paper Towns by John Green. I am only a couple of pages into the book, and I already find it to be really interesting. The book starts off with a boy named Quentin Jacobsen, and he lives across the street from Margo Roth Spiegelman. She was not your typical ordinary girl. She was a legend. Well a legend to Quentin. He has loved her since childhood, and would only dream of the day when she would finally talk to him.


        Prom is almost here and Quentin is jealous to see that Margo is going to go with her boyfriend Jace. HIs best friend Ben loves the idea of Prom and he really wants to go, but Quentin doesn't. He doesn't have a date to bring. Quentin then thinks about the idea of going to Prom and asking a girl. That is where I ended so far,


        What I like about this book so far is that it starts off with explaining the relationship between Margo and Quentin when they were little kids. It also explained the night of when they went to the park and found a dead man under a tree! Straight from there it goes on to the present life. Which is when Margo and Quentin are in high school.


        There are not many things that I do not like about this book. I am only a couple of pages in and I don't find it to be slow or anything. I cannot wait till I find out what happens between Quentin and Margo!

        The book that I continued on reading was If I Stay by Gayle Forman. I am very excited to say that I have finished the book...and I loved it! The story line became better and better as I continued to read, and I am so glad it did! This book is for the readers who like intense/romantic type novels. What I mean by this is that the story starts off with a tragic accident involving Mia and her family, then it goes back and forth from the past to the present. In the past it explains Mia's relationship with Adam.


      What I like about the rest of the book is that it keeps the plot interesting. It doesn't fall "off the tracks" like some stories do. What I also like about the book in general is that it is both romantic and intense at the same time. It is romantic when it explains the relationship between Mia and Adam, and it gets intense when it explains about the crash and what the scene of the crash looked like.


     What I did not like about this book is the ending of it. I don't want to spoil anything because I think it is better when you understand EVERYTHING that is going on during the story. So I will just leave that part alone, and if you want to know if Mia decides to stay...or live, you will have to read the book yourself!:)

        The book that I read was If I Stay by Gayle Forman. I only have a couple of chapters left to read, and I cannot wait how the story turns out! So far what I have read was about how Mia and her family got into a really bad car accident, and her family had died. During the accident Mia's soul was able to see what everything looked like during the time of the crash. She the figured out that she could see everyone in the real world, but the people in the real world cannot see her. Mia watches herself as she is brought to the Hospital, and they perform multiple surgeries to try and save her life. She is visited by her boyfriend Adam,and he sees Mia and how she might not survive unless she fights for her life. He begs her to stay alive so he can be with her. The "spirit" of Mia watches Adam's pain for her. So far I love the book!

        What I like about this book is that it goes back and forth showing Mia in her past life with her family and friends, and what her relationship with Adam was like. I think it brings more feelings towards the novel and the characters them self. What I also like about this book is that it has a story-line that I have never read before. What I mean by this is that the story shows the past and the present of the main character, and I think it is interesting when they do this.

        I am glad I had kept on reading this story from when I first started because I cant stop reading it! I am enjoying reading this story so much that I really don't have any dislikes about it. I cannot wait till I find out what Mia decides. To let go and die and leave everyone behind...Or to live and have a whole new life with new challenges?
   

   

       

    
                                                   Blog Book: If I Stay


       The book that I chose to read was If I stay by Gayle Forman. I am only a couple of chapters into the book but I already to find it amazing! I find it to be very interesting and emotional. This book is about a girl named Mia and she is driving along with her brother Teddy and her Mother and Father. It is a snowy dad and they decide to go and meet her Grandparents at their house. All of a sudden their car crashes into another car and it does not turn out well for Mia and her family. As Mia becomes a "spirit" she is able to see everyone and everything around her but they are unable to see her. She has to decide if she wants to come back to life or if she wants to die. The thing is if she comes back to life she will most likely be an orphan.


       Even though I am only a couple of chapters into the book I am already excited to finish it! It is very intriguing and once you start reading it, it is hard to stop. You just want to keep reading until you finish the book! What I also like about this book is that it goes back and forth from Mia's past life and what is going on right now. I like how Gayle Forman did that because I like to see how Mia's past life was, and it brings more sentimental value to what is happening to her when she is in the hospital now.


       What I don't really like about this book so far is that in the beginning it didn't really explain a lot about the characters. You had to get a chapter or two in till you actually found out about Mia, Teddy, and her rock star boyfriend Adam and her parents who used to be famous rock stars. I also didn't like that once you hear about Mia's boyfriend Adam you don't hear from him until a while after the crash. Other then that I am really enjoying this book and I cannot wait to see how it ends!
