Trinkets


Trinkets was a page-turner because of the different perspecives it was writen from. The characters in this book changed after meeting each other. Although all of them had their own lives they were never truly comfortable. To relive their negative feelings the girls shoplifted. When their different lives collided the girls found a new comfort in each other. This amazing story is a great read for young adults, I couldn't put it down!

Catherine


Having not read Wuthering Heights, the book Catherine was based on, I found myself being a little worried that I wouldn't understand the plot. Instead it was the opposite. I loved this book!! It kept me sucked in from the beginning to the end, the characters were full of life and spark, and the author didn't end the story the way that I thought she would. In fact, I would highly recommend this book. I thought it was excellent.

Altered


I really did not like Altered. To start off, this girl has four boys locked in her basement for testing. But does she think about how wrong it is to keep prisoners in your basement? Does she ever wonder what they are there for? Does she show any feelings at all? No!!! The only thing she cared about was how hot one of the boys, Sam, was. Is this a realistic reaction? I think not. And that was just the start of a very infuriating read. The idea behind the book showed promise, but unfortunately for this book I think something got lost in translation.
