Fifth Period's Reading Reviews by Jennifer Rivas https://padlet.com/jennifer_rivas/3t3fk5xagjtf en-us 2018-02-20 20:39:47 UTC 2023-05-18 06:32:03 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Alarmclock.png In the After by Demetria Lunetta jennifer_rivas https://padlet.com/jennifer_rivas/3t3fk5xagjtf/wish/233509924        It's the end of the world. "They" have taken over and only a few lucky ones have survived including Amy. She is resourceful, brave, and intelligent. In a world where you must focus on yourself and survival first, Amy opens her heart to a toddler who she finds, helps keep alive, and loves.
       Shockingly, they are rescued and taken to a New Hope. At first it seems like a haven for survivors but soon they discover that New Hope is not all that it seems. The question becomes who's more dangerous: the "monsters" on the outside who devour humans as meals or the "monsters" on the inside whose disturbed moral compass leads to corruption and death. 
5 Stars-If you like post-apocalyptic thrillers, brave protagonists, and a hint of romance, you will love this book!

- this book is written in the form of poems and short stories telling about the life of amy of her faults and her achievements in her life. the book is a very fun and interesting book that doesn't take much time to read. like an ordinary book the pages are full of word from left to right this book has some of the stories she tell in the forms of poems and short stories. 
the book tell and describe what happens when something happens. like what words to say when you smash your toe or what to say to bad drivers. this book is full of funny quotes and or incidents for her everyday to day life.  
so when you read this book it is quite unordinary of an ordinary life of amy.

This book is about a boy named Percy Jackson who discovers a dark secret. At the beginning of the story he is living with his mother in Manhattan. Now Percy was a serious trouble maker. He had to move from school to school. Percy's adventures began when Mrs. Dodds turned into a monster and tried to 🤬 him. His school master "Chiron" gave him a pen that turns into a sword. Just a little bit of background on Percy Jackson is that he is actually the son of Poseidon "the sea god ".  In the story Chiron sent Rover to protect Percy. Percy is classified as a halfblood. A halfblood is someone who is part human and part demigod. The story starts a battle between the gods and the Titans. The titans are evil and they want to take over the world and seek corruption. The people that are not half bloods are oblivious of what is going on because there is a mist that covers up the reality of the situation. Half bloods have the ability to see through the mist.

I highly recommend this book to any who is intrigued by suspense and adventure. This book is for you if you like things dealing with mythological gods from the Roman world.

Lancaster 100098350 https://padlet.com/jennifer_rivas/3t3fk5xagjtf/wish/251668726 It is a thousand years in the future and the difference between humanity and out technology is a blurred line. As every little detail is coded and put in a document things can easily be changed from there. We begin by following nearly 16 year old Peter Vincent  who has been raised to believe that everything that the backward Strakerites cling to is insane--an utter waste of time and potential. Since his father is David Vincent, genius inventor of the artificial bees that saved the world's crops and prevented massive famine, how could Peter believe anything else. The Straker tapes say the world has been through many “upgrades” but no one knows whether the straker tapes are true or not, but those who do follow it are called Stakerites. One day Peter meets  Alpha, a Strakerite his own age, suddenly the theories about society-upgrades don't sound quite so crazy, especially when she shows him evidence that another upgrade is imminent. And worse, there may be a conspiracy by the leaders of the establishment to cover it up. A conspiracy spearheaded by Peter's own father. Peter soon will realise who the real enemy is in time and will he be able to save the world?

This series is very interesting and some of the books keep you on edge or give you slight eerie feelings on some characters. I give this series a 5/5 because if some have watched the anime series, this series follows along pretty well with its anime counterpart. People who like the anime version to Black Butler or anime in general will surely like this series very much. ]]> 2018-04-16 17:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_rivas/3t3fk5xagjtf/wish/252252578 Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky 100108641 https://padlet.com/jennifer_rivas/3t3fk5xagjtf/wish/252253051 Dmitry is an author who writes mostly dystopian future books. He has written three Metro books in total. Metro 2033, Metro 2034, and Metro 2035. Three games have been made from his writings. Metro 2033, Metro Last Light, and the new video game, Metro Exodus. They all keep true to a dystopian wasteland where people do what is necessary to survive.
In Metro 2033, a man named Artyom lives in the underground tunnels of the Moscow Subway System. His home station, VDNKH, is known for its mushroom tea and pigs. His station is under attack from an unknown enemy and he is forced to be sent on a journey to seek help. In his quest he encounters enemies and dangerous environments in the Moscow wasteland. 
I really enjoy the books from Dmitry so i personally give it a 5/5 stars.
People who like apocalyptic survival and wasteland dystopias will enjoy this book. It has action and adventure with the frequent danger and awe.
