Reflections on Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz




(P.S. This is not my picture)

I really like the characters in this book. Alex Rider, the main character, is really heroic and saves, basically the world in this book. I think that what keeps me reading this book is the suspense. Once in a while, I guess I'm looking for something that has suspense in it. Once I pick it up, it's pretty hard to put it down. It's sort of working as a reading pleasure, but some parts are terrifyingly scary, making me jump to the edge of my seat. There are occasionally boring bits in this book, like there are in most books. I think that someone would definitely like this book, that is, if they like suspense, and adventure, because this book is pretty complex but interesting. I picked this up because I've read it before, and it's pretty good, and because I didn't have a book for this assignment, so I chose a good book that I already read. I pick up any book that I think is interesting, and I always accept recommendations for books, because I just like trying out books. I guess my favorite kind of books to read are adventure-ish books. These are my reflections on this book.

Reflections on Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen





(P.S. This is not my picture)

Hi there. During reading day in class, I read an e-book that I downloaded from the iPad, that was named Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I have only read the first several chapters of the book, but from what I read, it is pretty interesting. Like I said before, I have only read a little bit of the book, but from what I understood, this book is talking about some rich people that come to town, because they found some property there. People were admiring them during a dance, and were delighted to see those wealthy men dancing with the girls from the village. The village people are also gossiping about how prejudice one of the wealthy men. Personally, I really like the main idea of the story, and I like most of the characters. I don't really have anything in particular that keeps me reading this book. This book is sort of hard to put down though. I have a little bit of reading for pleasure in this book, but it is not one of my favorites. Some bits of this book are boring, but some parts are really interesting. I think that someone else may like the book, because it talks about pride and prejudice and talks a little bit about why that's bad. This is the first book that I have read from this book. The reason why I picked this book up is because since we had to have a book for reading day, I just looked in the e-book store and got this book, mainly because of it's title. My favorite kinds of books are adventure books that are full of suspense, and books with good messages, sort of like this one. I think that you should at least read a little bit of this book. You may like it.
