I am number four

I started a new book today. It is about a group of people and they are all being hunted down. There are nine people in this group and people protecting them have casted a spell on them in which they all have to be killed in order. And when one is killed the rest will get a scar on their ankle telling them that a person has died so they know what number the killers are after. This is told in first person and the one telling the story is number four. In this first chapter he gets his third scar which means he is now suppose too die.

Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy 2nd enrty

Arthur comes home and he sees his house getting demolished by bulldozers.  He starts screaming at the people doing this and describing how he will kill them in great detail.  They start running away and Arthur thinks they are running away from his so he starts chasing them.  After chasing them for about 30 seconds still yelling at them he trips and falls on his back.  He then sees what they are really running away from, in the sky there are huge yellow machines coming over them.  Soon every speaker, stereo and anything that can produce sound automatically turns itself on.  It announces that they are from another planet and their planet is making a hyper speed bypass.  Apparently earth is in the way so they have to demolish earth.  Everybody starts running around franticly screaming.  Then the pa system says that they had told them 50 years in advanced that this would happen because the planning charts and orders were on a place called Alpha Centuri.  No one on earth had read the warnings.
The chapter ends like that and then in the next chapter it skips to a new planet, Damogram. It describes this place as "the secret home of the Heart Of Gold".  It is a deserted planet with several dessert islands.  This planet was chosen because it has very little people on it therefore it can be a more secretive place.  An alien named Zaphod Beeblebrox is riding in a boat on the planet.  He is talking about how he is running for president.  He is running for reasons that are questionable but have not be revealed.
I am finding this book very interesting mostly because of the action although it is hard to follow.  I am looking forward to seeing what will happen to earth.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

This is a book recommended to me by my friend and this is my first day reading it.  The main character is a man named Arthur Dent.  People are trying to take down Arthur's home without his permission to build a bypass.  Another character was Ford Prefect he is Arthurs good friend and he an alien.  Arthur does not know that he is from another plant but the author indicates this to us.  Ford has been stranded on earth for 15 years now.  He is on earth to write a book called the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.  Arthur is laying down in front of the bulldozers when Ford comes.  Ford does not really understand sarcasm so his conversations usually end up being very awkward.  Ford tries to come up with an agreement with the man trying to tear down his house but the deal he makes doesn't really make any sense.
I like this book also because it did not take me a long time to get into for I have already got hooked on this book I think this will turn out to be a really good book.  I am looking forward to the next reading day in class.

The Attack on Pearl Harbor

Today I read a book called The Attack on Pearl Harbor.  It is a choose your own adventure book.  Last time I read on reading day I read a different choose your own adventure book so I wanted to read another one.  In this one I choose the role of a Japanese pilot because I did not really know the story from their side.  I was onboard a plane when the U.S.A started shooting at me so I did not crash into the boat I was attacking.  I then went to crash into the USS Nevada and then I died.  Usually the Japanese kamikazi fighters crashed into boats to bring them down.  I think it would be very scary and you would have to hate the other country to be able to do this.
I am very interested in Pearl Harbor  attack and I once went to Pearl Harbor on a tour.  The whole thing was boring except when I got to go on the USS Tennessee which was very very cool.  While reading this book I got a much better picture of the scene.  I was able to visualize the boats getting attacked by Japanese planes.  This book did not make me sad nor happy but I was very interested in it.  I would like to learn more about the US wars and Pearl Harbor in particular.

Return to Atlantis

     Today I read a book called Return to Atlantis by R. A Montgomery.  This book is a choose your own adventure book about two people who have been to Atlantis but no one believes them so they decide to go again.  The story starts where you are in a room and your friend walks in and tells you that you should go back to Atlantis and you decide to go.  You and your friend get grant money to find Atlantis and you go in submarine called the seeker two.  While going to Atlantis you find a giant under water creature with a silver pod attached to it.  The silver pod breaks off of the creature, goes towards you and you then hear a voice that says, "may I come in". At this point you have three choices, first I choose to let the people in the escape pod into my submarine.  They came in and told us that they were Atlantians and they were hunting for food and that animal is used for hunting.  They gave me a choice to either finish the hunting trip with them and then return to Atlantis or for them to give us directions to go to Atlantis.  I choose to go straight to Atlantis.  They gave us directions and once we arrived we found the Atlantians at Atlantis armed and ready for war.  They told us they were at war with another culture and they asked for our help.  We were also given the choice to stay in Atlantis.  I choose to help them. They give me a weapon and in about 30 seconds a bomb goes off destroying Atlantis killing me.
     I like this book because it gives you choices where to go through and sometimes you make the wrong choice.  This book is good because sometimes you don't know what to choose and there are many different endings.

What My Mother Doesn't Know

The book I read monday was What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones.  It is a series of little paragraphs on each page about how this girl is going through high school.  This was a book that I will only read once because I did not enjoy it.  I think this is not a good book for people like me because there is no comedy, action or suspense and that is what I look for in a book.  This book also did not drag me in so after about a half hour I felt like putting the book down and switching books although i did not do this I never got to a point where was dragged in by the story.  I do not believe this is a bad book it is just not the right book for someone like me.  If you like books with action, comedy and suspense like me then I suggest not to read this novel.

diary of a wimpy kid

A book I read a while ago was Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  It is a book about a kid named Greg Heffley and he is a kid going through middle school on the bottom of the popularity list.  He has two brothers one named Rodrick and one named Manny.  Manny is a young little kid who is very spoiled and funny Greg is often jealous of him.  Rodrick the older brother is a mean bully to Greg and will always make Greg's life worse.  This is a funny, interesting and drawing in book that made me feel like I couldnt put it down.  I do not recommend it to anyone in 7th grade because I feel we've all out grown this book but it has always been one of my favorite books and thought i should write about it.
