Hello all

today was great I finished Where the Kissing Never Stops a review for that will come later possible tomorrow after I hit barns and noble (i spend like all my time there it's scary)

Now on to the review

Today's book: Fahrenheit 451 by: Ray Bradbury
               I had to read this one for school and I most definitely am not a Bradbury fan but....this one was good I liked the theme of censorship in it. Fahrenheit 451 was written in 1953 originally a short story called The Fireman written in 1950 latter made into a full length novel. In a society where all books are baned and if found are burned, main character Guy Montage begins to question his position as one of the firemen that burns our beloved stories and books. at first he only steels one then sinks further and further into the conspiracy of the government to keep all "happy". The book is science fiction but still good.
                Favorite quote~"It was a pleasure to burn."-this is the first line of book and is just so simple it's beautiful.               

                This is a classic on challenging censorship and questioning what we know. A must for any library but not a must buy unless your into  political and books on utopias.
                  Two out of four stars

I shall leave one question: do you think they should ban books?

REMEMBER I ONLY DO YA BOOKS (and others leave any book you want checked out and if it is not YA I shall inform you if I will check it out)

merry reading I will post tomorrow another book!

Hi,

     This is the first entry, as you can see, on this I shall post reviews and other topics relating to youth books and or random stuff I have read.

now on to the review

Peter by Kate Walker:
          This one was AMAZING I read it three times in a row. Peter was written in 1991. Its main character is you guessed it PETER. Peter is a fifteen year old boy living in the land down under he enjoys photography and riding a dirt bike.  His life is fine until he meets his older brothers gay friend david and starts to question his own sexuality.
           Favorite quote~"What a way to start the day-being perved on by a myopic old cleaning woman."
           I think this book is worth the buy
           3 out of 4 stars

My taste in books vary I will read almost any book and give my thoughts. So if you want me to check out a book before you buy just leave the title and author and i will head to barns and noble or the library.

REMEMBER I ONLY DO YA BOOKS! (and others leave any book you want checked out and if it inst YA I shall inform you if I will check it out)

merry reading I will post tommarow another book I have pleanty I read just this month and am allways looking for more!
