Book Reviews

I just thought it would be fun to keep a list of books I have read.

Book Rating Scale:
1 = If there is nothing else to read - Okey read it.
2 = There are some really good parts.
3 = There are some really good parts and l learned something
from reaidng it. I liked the book.
4 = I loved the book
5 = At the top of my list. I couldn't put the book down and I
would consider rereading it.

Give me your ideas. If you have read a few of these books tell me what you think about them. Let me know what books are on the top of your list.

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli


Stargirl is the new girl who loves long pioneer dresses and plays her ukulele during lunch. Everyone in the school is shocked by Stargirl. This story reminded me of a girl in my elementary school. She had a pet rat too. I remember trying to be nice to her and regretting it every time because she was just too much for me. I think Stargirl is too much for me too. There were two things I really liked about Stargirl. One: “She had no friends but was a friend to everyone.” Two: “Bad things did not stick to her. Correction: her bad things did not stick to her. Our bad things stuck very much to her. If we were hurt, if we were unhappy or otherwise victimized by life, she seemed to know about it, and to care, as soon as we did. But bad things falling on her – unkind words, nasty stares, foot blisters – she seemed unaware of. I never saw her look in a mirror, never heard her complain, All of her feelings, all of her attentions flowed outward. She had no ego.”
