The Lovely Bones

This was an interesting book to reread after the first time reading it awhile back, but it is still one of my favorite books. I like the supernatural part of the book how Susie is kind of in this in between part. She's not in heaven, but she is not alive. I enjoy how she tells the story through what she see's . I also like the fact that the whole time throughout the novel we know who the killer is. I kept reading this book because I wanted the family to finally find the killer. I also liked Susie's character , but I hated how she physically could not do anything to help out the family with her killer. I enjoyed the suspense that the book had, especially when her sister went searching around their neighbors house, who happened to be the killer. He came home in the middle of her searching through the house, and the whole time I was reading I was hoping that she'd get the heck out of there already. Also not to sound weird I liked how the killer die because it was kind of like karma. I was happy he tried to escape from his problems , but yet in the middle of trying to get another victim he just happens to take one wrong step and he's dead. Overall I enjoyed this book a lot, and I love the story line the author made up.

The Fault In Our Stars

I decided since I can not wait for this movie to come out that I will blog about it. This is my all time favorite love story , next to The Notebook of course. John Greene portrays this love story so well that you can not help but fall in love with the characters. Hazel Grace is such a relatable character for a teenage girl. She is a stubborn and confused with her emotions and the world which is how every teenager feels at this stage. We all got through this stage in our life times which makes he so relatable and like able. Now Augustus is the type of guy that every girl wish they had. I fell in love with him right away. John Greene creates this guy that makes you wish you were in Hazel's situation. We all want a guy that wants us like Gus wants Hazel. Although he dies kind of suddenly, Hazel still has a positive outlook on there relationship. She calls it their little infinity. Even though they were both fighting horrible cancers , they still found a way to live through it together. In a little over two hundred pages, Greene makes us fall in love with Hazel and Gus's " little infinity". I can not wait to see this movie and fall in love with them all over again.
