Sounds great! :)

Witch and Wizard by James Patterson
I bought this yesterday and finished this morning XD

I heard good and bad things about Witch and Wizard. How would you rate it?

GREAT WONDERFUL

That's some very fast reading, Aviva!

yeah, you read really fast!

Dragon Slippers
Dragon Flight
about to finish Dragon Spear

if its a good book and i dont have much work to do, i pretty much read most of the day.

I only wish I could do that! School work usually keeps me busy, and I don't get a lot of time to read at school anymore.

me either but they are really quick

oh crap I've been forgetting :/
Just finished Syren, before finished Scorpions, Lost, Forest of the Pygmies, and now reading Book Thief

I finished the book thief! I'm reading the watsons go to birmingham for school - :/ - and about to start this other book for book group.

Everytime you say The Book Thief, I think you're actually trying to say The Lightning Thief. LOL, was it good? (referring to the book thief)

yes. The Lightning Thief is a good book too

I agree. Just finished reading it on Feb. 20. Loved it so much and the movie's really good too. :)

If i see the movie I will have to think of it as something else

Why?

I normally dont like movies made from good books cuz I expect it to be the book and it ruins what I imagined.

Oh okay. I like most movies made from books, but I hate it when they have to change a lot of stuff. It's a little thing called green screens and a bunch of technology. Then they could really make a movie off the book.

Green screen! sorry…

???

my sister did a STRETCH (summer program - NOT summer school) they used the green screen and I've seen special features that talk about it

it's cool

Oh that sounds really cool! I wish my school could do that, but we have to get our grades up. Plus there isn't enough money for all of that. :(

ah. that sucks.

Yeah, tell me something I don't already know. LOL :)

hi

welcome to the ark…I like how it's written and what its about I guess, the four kids being drawn together, their powers, and the strive to stop the Armageddon. just everything about it put together!

same with Devil's Arithmetic. It's really cool how she goes back in time and the whole thing. I dont really know how to explain it!
