All Rivers Flow to the Sea

All Rivers Flow to the Sea is a very interesting book to read. Once you start the book you get very interested and don't want to stop reading. I enjoyed reading this book, and I recommend that everyone should read this book. All Rivers Flow to the Sea is mainly about two sisters, Rosie, and Ivy. Rosie and Ivy got into a car accident going around a corner in dusk when a blue truck was sliding toward them. The blue truck hit them, now Ivy is in the hospital with major injuries.      Nothing will ever be the same for these two sisters and best friends. Read how each of the characters deals with this tragic accident. Friends like William T make this time for Rosie bearable, especially when Rosie's Mom escapes in a world of paper cranes.

Angels and Demons By Dan Brown

Dan Brown writes another thriller! This book is as good as the Da Vinci Code if not better. I think it is amazing how Dan uses real history and intwines it into his story line. It isn't boring history either, it is facts that you have never heard about before that are extremely interesting and exciting! This book is long, but it reads fast. Angels and Demons is a book that once you pick up you won't want to set it down. This book is an adventure that keeps the reader constantly thinking, guessing, and amazed at the outcome. It is action packed and full of obstacles! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves action, drama, and a little bit of history!

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

This book takes place in a small, ordinary town in New Hampshire, called Sterling. One average day at Sterling High, turned into a thrilling shocker, that effected the lives of thousands of people.

She could be one of the State's best witnesses but, she tells everyone that she cannot remember what happened. This story tells about the lives of different people before and after the incident, and what kind of impact it left on them. Everything boils down to the friendships and trust developed between a few of the characters. I recommend this story to all ages and anyone looking for a roller coaster of a book. ~K~

Lori is a unique, 11 year old girl who enjoys playing chess, getting straight A's in school and always being right. Throughout the beginning of the story, she is desperately trying to fit in and be popular. She is surrounded by images of very thin women. Women who diet, count calories, and obsess about their weight. Lori starts becoming very self-conscious of her weight and begins dieting. What started out as just eating a little less, led in to a whole lot more towards the end. She was hospitalized and kept in a controlled environment. This story is a very serious yet extremely humorous one. This is a true story and is based on true events. If you enjoy crazy stories on different people's lives, I suggest reading this stomach-turner! ~K~
