Is there 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000001/5 ratings?
I doubt you even read it.
I read the first few chapters.
It was horrible.
I read the books and thought it was quite good, maybe you are blinded by all the people saying "OMG TWILIGHT SUCKZORS"

I agree, I didn't think the books were all that bad.
 
Once again, the requested reviews have been changed, the order their has nothing to do with the order I will read them in. If your book is not up there, them I am not able to get it at the Public Library. Information regarding, Angela's Ashes, my mom told me I can possibly get this at the Public Library, I am checking today. I will probably be done with the next book around next week. Please be patient, I will try to read as quickly as I can.
 
No offense but your 13 years old and some of these books on the list are pretty advanced. It is one thing to read the book but it is another to fully understand it and give an accurate rating. I'm not sure about How to Kill a Mockingbird (I've never picked it up) but I know for a fact that 1984 will go at a pretty slow pace and uses an different colloquialism from most books you've probably read (it also introduces a different language :/ ). I tried reading it and I knew I wasn't ready to read the book after the first chapter. Can I suggest you replace 1984 with the book Fahrenheit 451? It has a similar concept but it is much easier that 1984. Also, Fahrenheit 451, was one of the summer reading books for my honors English class. If your still looking for something by George Orwell try Animal Farm, I loved that book and I'm sure mostly anyone will too.

Hey, I like to go above and beyond. These books are mostly on the list of my AP English Extra Credit, except Lightning Thief and To Kill A Mockingbird. I think these books are not too advanced but actually at my reading level. I don't find them hard or advanced. Everyone reads at a different pace. Just because I'm thirteen doesn't mean I can't read these books and still understand them. I'm in English Honors Society and all that stuff and I'm pretty sure I'll have no problems with these books. Now excuse me, I have a book to read.


edit: I don't really think the different language will really be a problem, I've read Beowulf and it's fine.

1)- Your school offers honor societies for 9th graders..?
2)- Lord of the Rings and Scarlett Letter seem like they would be in your level
3)- People go into AP classes when seniors, and in AP classes you do college work. You're basically telling me 1984 is an AP level book! You have no idea how high my doubt is for you reading this book successfully. I'm sure you're smart and a good reader but try a book maybe at a different level, the books I mentioned are pretty advanced would be impressive. If you still are thinking about reading it good luck I guess, I highly suggest you take notes though (that's what I did when reading part of it).

I'm sure she's more capable of understanding advanced books than you.

Under my circumstances, my school district has allowed me to take advance placement classes mmkay? I will say it one more time, I pretty sure I will have no problems reading these books.


@L Lawliet- uh thanks I guess.
 
I read To Kill A Mocking Bird almost at your age, but I had to re-read it again last year for my class. I developed a better understanding of it than I did years ago. I'm guessing that's what D1llon's trying to say.
But whatever, good luck.:)
 
browsing through my EXTENSIVE, MASSIVE, ENORMOUS book collection, you must read east of eden.

grapes of wrath sucked, but east of eden is so much awesome after you get going.

DAT BOI JOHN STEINBECK

You WOULD try to start an argument. I was literally trying to help her and refrain her from what could end up be wasting her time.

So your school is letting you take courses with college work in them......I'm just going to nod my head yes. Good luck with your reading!

"The Advanced Placement (AP) program is a curriculum in the United States sponsored by the College Board which offers standardized courses to high school students that are generally recognized to be equivalent to undergraduate courses in college. Participating colleges grant credit to students who obtained high enough scores on the exams to qualify"

That's all it is. I can see your concern, but trust me it's not going to be a waste of time.

I believe that anyone could read any of these books, just like O.J. said.

So, where are the BOOK REVIEWS I SAY?



SEE WUT I DID THERE?
