Abraham’s comments from the Class of 2015 group.

What would you do if your "best friend" back-stabbed you? Shakespeare, often regarded as the best writer in history, might have written one of his best ever books with Othello. Othello is by far my favorite book/play because of its treachery, suspense, and romance. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 15 because of its difficult text to understand. Shakespeare is also the writer of such plays as Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Hamlet, among others. Shakespeare's plays and sonnets have won him the Medaille D'or Award, the Theater Hall of Fame award, and the Tony Award, among others, for his contribution to the growth of theater plays. "Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; often got without merit, and lost without deserving." (This quote means that reputation is often won without being earned and lost without deserving to have been lost.)

I think that this book sounds great and like a book I could really relate to because of you great review. Good job!

I like how you really made the book sound interesting and hard to stop reading. I might want to read this book someday. Its hard to imagine she lived in this kind of world. Good review, Danny.

Wow. This review is amazing and I liked how you added great cliffhanger questions to get me wanting to read the book. How many books are in the series?

Great review, Oscar! The summary is great and I liked how you described the coach's perseverance to win. Good job!

This book sounds amazing, with all the technology and science fiction, and you made it sound even better. Great review.

Would you travel to a different continent by yourself? Or form an alliance with people you hate? In the fifth installment of The 39 Clues, siblings Amy and Dan Cahill travel to Russia by themselves in an attempt to find the only lead to their parent's death. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of twelve because the book is fairly simple to read. I personally liked this book because it combined humor, action, and suspense. Patrick Carman is also the author of the Atherton, The Land of Elyon, and Elliot's Park series, among others. "Out of all the five books, this is by far the best in the series. Carman brought the series back to where it should be, it had the feel of the first two books."- Amazon Revbiews

Great review, Miriam! I am barely starting the series and it seems that the ending will be epic, judging by how you used a great cliffhanger question to make the book sound very interesting! Good job!

I really liked the cliffhanger question and how suspenseful it sounds! I think I would really like the story, considering how you expressed mixed feelings about the book, which is what I love in stories. Great review!

What is the secret? How can you be forever young and turn anything into gold? In "The Name of this Book is Secret", by Pseudonymous Bosch, two middle school students named Cassandra and Max-Ernest investigate the mysterious disappearance of a magician that might have something to do with a secret that can keep you young forever and turn anything into gold. I would recommend this book to anyone above the age of ten because it is a very fun book and easy to understand. I had a lot of fun reading this book because it was very humorous and ironic at the same time. Pseudonymous Bosch is only the author of the "Secret Series" which has five books for every sense: smell, hearing, taste, feel, and sight. "The fun part is the mystery: Children with a taste for this kind of thing will enjoy the clues and codes, and will wish for more of them." -Commonsensemedia.org

There are several series of this book, but the series this book is in has eleven books, Miriam.

That sounds like a really hard choice. Great review, Miriam, the word choice and book description makes the book sound like a really good one. Great review!

Your review really makes the book sound interesting. Great summary and makes me want to read the book again! Great review!

Those are some great cliffhanger questions Ashley, they really get my attention. Overall, great review and this sounds like a really good book. Perfect review Ashley!

What would you take, one million dollars or a clue? In The Maze of Bones, the first book in the 39 Clues series, siblings Amy and Dan go on a clue hunt to become the most powerful people in the world. I would recommend this book to anyone above the age of 11 as the book is easy to understand, funny, and interesting all at once. I really enjoyed reading this book, for its amazing and creative storyline made it hard for me to put the book down. Rick Riordan is the author of The Heroes of Olympus series, The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and The Kane Chronicles. This book has been a New York Time's Bestseller, Tres Navarre mystery series, and the Edgar mystery award, among others. "Mixes just the right proportions of suspense, perils, and puzzles." - Publisher's Weekly

The items that were stolen seem very important to the fairies and their world. The book sounds really good and the review is great as well. Good job!

You review is perfect. You covered everything of the book and came up with great questions. Tye book is described perfectly and made it seem truly like magic. Good job!

Your review makes this book sound interesting and funny at the same time. I've read and your review sums it up perfectly. Great job!

The Landry News, by Andrew Clements, is about a girl whose talent is being a reporter, which usually earns her more enemies than friends. Andrew Clements has won the Edgar Juvenile Book of the Year, Children's Choice Author of the Year, and Pennsylvania Book of the Year, among others. He is also the author of Lunch Money, Frindle, and Things Not Seen. I really liked this book because it is humorous and very interesting. What problems will Cara get in now? Is she going to survive middle school? "This book shows the power of creativity, the written word, and the First Ammendment."-commonsensemedia.org
