The book and the movie are both different, but equally as amazing. This is a utopian world inside of a dystopian world, and the issues of escapism are always present. The thrilling race to find the ultimate prize balances out the two extremes, and overall this book is awesome.

This book was a fascinating new approach to the ideas of the psychological impacts of Nazi concentration camps. It allows the reader to acknowledge the horrors that occurred yet differentiate them from the factual message that is being conveyed.

I put this book under the "other" category because this is really an allegory of self-improvement.

This was a truly amazing book. It is written simply yet beautifully, and it conveys messages that connect to every human being. I will always remember and apply the concepts that I discovered in this book to my life.

I’m not much of a horror reader but I went in this book with an open mind. I definitely enjoyed reading this book and really liked the way the author introduced each character. However I  didn’t think this book was “scary” or “frightening” but it was still a good read. I’ve read some reviews about this book and I do agree with one person saying that the book started off strong but after awhile it gets a little tiring. Although it was a very long winded read I did enjoy it for the most part.

This book treats dystopian in a way that I feel like is hardly dealt with. The world before it ended is just as much a part of the story as the aftermath. It really allows you to feel the grief of what has been lost. Also, considering I enjoyed it despite living in a pandemic myself should say something about how good the book is.

The giver was an interesting book with its concepts of sameness and how the story and characters seems simple and happy in the beginning but as it progresses and the main character learns more about the world it takes a turn for a more complicated and sad feeling.

This book is great. The characters are complex and I can't help but hate them and root for them at the same time. Interesting story about old Hollywood and how queer identities navigated through it. However, I must warn you that if you want to read this book, you must be prepared to cry.

Just Mercy is a wonderful book about the corruption of the American system of incarceration. This book details Bryan Stevenson’s life as he and his law firm try to get wrongly convicted/unfairly sentenced prisoners off death row, as well as those with lengthy sentences. It was a very moving book, as you can see how someone's race, gender, class, and even upbringing can alter the way someone is treated by the law. I would recommend everyone to read this book, as it is enlightening and accessible.

I really, really enjoyed this book. It's quite dark and deals with super heavy subjects so when reading people should be wary as it can be quite triggering. The characters feel like real people and so sometimes it is hard to read because the things they go through are really awful. However, the story telling and writing is really beautiful.

Cannery row is about a place of the same name in the city of Monterey California and all those who live there and it tells of how they all go about their life’s and interact with each other to create both a few small and big story’s as the book goes on. I personally enjoyed this unique way it used to convey the story over how many books usually do.

This book was great! I really enjoyed it, but that’s also because I love reading books that take place in the 20’s, they are just very interesting to me! I definitely recommend reading this book :)

YA writing at its finest. A beautiful example of how just because something is Young Adult doesn’t mean it has to be bad or cliche. This book is incredible. Everything felt so real and god it was so so sad. I feel like the movie definitely did it justice but also had a different feel to it. I have mixed feelings. The book is coming of age but it feels real, it’s like how you come of age in real life. The movie was coming of age but felt a little less relatable.

This book is probably the weirdest story I have ever read. There were so many twists and turns, it was honestly super chaotic. However, it was SUPER intriguing. I ripped through because I always wanted to know more. When I finished it I kind of just sat in shock for a solid five minutes. It was nothing like I expected but I throughly enjoyed it.

I thought this book is extremely intriguing. It deals with lighter topics like magic and curses that are common in fantasy but it was super different then any other family curse book I've ever read. It also hit super hard subjects like homophobia and teen pregnancy really well.

Mortal Engines is a very strange book, but I ended up really liking it. It’s a classic tale of revenge, but set in a futuristic steampunk world. There’s a lot of plots in this book, which can make it hard to follow at times, but I am definitely excited to read the sequels soon.

This was a very powerful graphic novel that documents Batman’s earliest missions. This story contrasts with Jim Gordon’s narrative, a new cop in Gotham who is struggling with the harsh realities of the city. The compelling story is complemented by the amazing illustrations, which present Gotham as a bleak and oppressive city, where crime lurks everywhere.

I read the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This was an exciting book, even if a lot of moments in it were pretty cheesy. I wouldn’t recommend it to someone though, unless they were a really big fan of the dystopian genre.

I thought this book was pretty good. It definitely had the suspense to keep me wanting to read more. The person behind the murders wasn’t revealed till the very end and there was never any hints as to who it was, which I guess helped me stay more into reading the book.

This book was very good. Normally I wouldn’t read a nonfiction book like this but I thought it was quite good and gave good insight on OCD and different experiences people can have with it

This book was incredible! It was quite a shocking book and not what I expected it to be at all. It definitely took me on an emotional rollercoaster and made me want to laugh and cry. The journey all of the characters took through the book together was beautiful, especially the friendships that developed.
*I chose the other category because this book is a Psychological Fiction.

This was quite a good mystery book for the reasons of not exactly knowing what was actually happening. A lot of it was confusing but it was still a pretty good read and everything made sense once you got to the end.

And I Draken is a retelling of Vlad the Impaler, who is genderbent, Radu the Handsome, and Mehmed the Conqueror. The story takes place during the time the Ottoman Empire sieges Constantinople, and has very immersive world building. I’m not the biggest fan of historical fiction, but the writing style and pacing were amazing. It reads like a fantasy novel, and the characters read a lot older than they are, which I find appealing. The characters themselves are probably the best part of the book. The whole story felt like the climax, but just kept getting more eventful. I ended up reading the whole series, and it got better with every book.

I thought the book was really interesting in the way it was written and what it was about. Some of the vocabulary was a little confusing but with context clues in the book you could understand what they were saying.

I thought this book was good and that there were a lot of interesting things such as how the narrator of the book is a person who experiences hallucinations and describes them so at times we have to discern things he is describe if as said hallucinations and not what’s exactly happening in the moment and there are a lot of other interesting characters as well.
