Looking For Alaska, by John Green

soooOo i borrowed this book from +Josh Xu bc i have been meaning to read it for monnthhss but i could never find a copy so then +Josh Xu was a very nice person and let me borrow it on the condition that i  made a blog post about it which i was going to do anyway but still this post is dedicated to/requested by +Josh Xu

Summary:

so basically there's this boy names Miles (but he is called Pudge for the majority of the book because he is skinny) and his life is hella boring and so he decides to go to this boarding school in alabama called Culver Creek and there he meets his room mate Chip (but he is called the Colonel for most of the book) and "gorgeous sexy funny screwed up self destructive something and endlessly fascinating Alaska Young" and she is kind of perfect. except she has a boyfriend named jake and i like him too. so they go there and Pudge takes this class called World Religions and there's a bunch of metaphorical stuff that relates to his life and for most of the year he, the Colonel, and Alaska smoke and drink and play pranks and generally do stuff you're not supposed to do at boarding school but that the boarding school experience wouldn't really be complete without. so Pudge gets to know alaska better and he falls in love with her because how could he help it. but alaska is weird and moody and some days she'll be funny and laughing and sarcastic and some days she'll be depressed and sad and angry and stuff. 

spoilers so dont read ahead unless you want to 

so basically its because her mom died when she was little. and then one day the Colonel is drunk and alaska is very very very drunk and miles is mostly sober and they are playing truth or dare and the alaska kisses pudge and then she's like OH CRAP and she's crying and she leaves to go somewhere but because she's very very very very very drunk she hits a cop car and dies. 

so that was mostly predictable (like the dying part not the how) but the next part is very very very very spoiler so do not read okay unless you already read the book

and so basically the last half of the book is Colonel and Pudge and Takumi and Lara (other friends) trying to figure out what happened and why she ran away and did she commit suicide or what. and basically what happened is that every year on that day at the exact time her mother died, she goes and puts flowers on her grave but she forgot so she was rushing to go do that. 

Ships:

• Alaska and Jake - i kind of ship it but like alaska also kissed Pudge while she was dating Jake so i mean kind of but eh we didn't really get to see much of Jake in the book so idk
• Miles and Alaska - i ship it but at the same time they're so different like alaska is all BAM and miles is all ehhh so i kind of
• Lara and Miles - ehhh its okay i liked Lara tho and i want her to be happy so i guess i shipped it but ehhh
• is there even anything else I don't think so

My overall opinion:

10/10 omg I loved it it was so heartbreakingly beautiful and I loved Alaska so much and asdfghjkl. it was (as is the case with everything written by John green) so absolutely amazingly well written and I loved it so much. surprisingly I didn't cry that much (just like a little after she died and that's it) but I was really sad and it was so perfect and as much as I wish she hasn't died because I loved her she kind of had to otherwise there would have been no plot but just everything about it was so sad and perfect and asdfghhjkl.  and their pranks were amazing omg I died laughing. and yeah. just read the book. 

yeah its pretty



btw +Josh Xu  is literally the only one who requested anything and you know you can request stuff cuz sooner or later im going to run out of books 

looook

guuyss look at what cohelly (music-wbu.blogspot.com) (sorry i couldnt link it im on the mobile app and its literally more useless than the eggplant emoji) got I'm so jelly so yeah there is literally no other purpose to this post 

The Host - Stephenie Meyer

okay so i actually read this book a few weeks ago after procrastinating for like a year. and yeah it was actually much much much MUCH better than i was expecting it to be considering twilight and stuff


**sidenote: i know everyone either loves loves loves twilight or hates it with their enitre existence. i read the books and they weren't that bad, they just didnt really have that much of a plot and bella irritates me so much omg asdfghjkl she's so DUMB LIKE JESUS LORD WOMAN GOD GAVE YOU BRAINS TO USE NOT SO YOU CAN FOLLOW YOUR IMMORTAL VAMPIRE BOYFRIEND EVERYWHERE AND HANG ON HIS EVERY WORD. but anywayyy. jacob was awesome but then he went and fell in love with bellas kid whILE BELLA WAS STILL PREGNANT and that irritated me but at the same time im glad he got over bella at least. anyway this side note is kind of long so bye**


anyway i dont own a copy of the book but here's a picture of the cover:

and heres a picture of the movie poster (i haven't seen the movie yet) 

(melanie is really pretty omg) 

Summary:

Earth is being invaded by aliens who posses human bodies and kill the actual soul that was inside it before. so when the book starts, there are very few humans still left on earth that are "un-possessed." the story is told from the POV of an alien named Wanderer (wanda) who possesses a girl (Melanie) who was a part of the resistance force thing. the reason she was put in Melanie's body is because the aliens want to get the information about where the rebels are hiding from her brain. but theeennn Melanie's soul doesn't go away, and she's purposely hiding the information from Wanda, and then she and Wanda start talking to each other. At first Wanda hates Melanie and wants her to go away, but then they start getting attached to each other. Also, their emotions start blending together so Wanda starts feeling the same emotion for Melanie's boyfriend Jared (who is hiding with the rebels) and then Wanda decides to go and look for Jared. So they go and find the rebels and then at first the rebels think Wanda is there to trick them but then they start becoming friends with her. however some of the rebels aren't happy with it, and one of them tries to kill her, but she survives. and then the aliens notice that Wanda has gone missing and there's this one psycho alien that's obsessed with her and thinks she's a traitor (which she is but still) and so basically they learn how to take the alien souls out of human bodies and send them to other planets without killing them, and sometimes, the human soul comes back.

My Overall Opinion:

9/10 i really liked the book overall, especially how it was written from Wanda's POV but it wasnt like amazingly well written (like it wasnt bad but it wasnt like mind blowing either) The story was interesting and unique and melanie didnt bother me thaatt much but mostly because she barely said anything it was mostly Wanda. i liked wanda (mostly) and i also liked jared a lot (i shipped him and melanie so hard) and i also shipped ian and wanda and i wish that could have happened. i liked how it ended without too many people dying too. i didn't like how they didn't tell you what happens to the rest of the world though. like she only resolved the love story (taylor swift reference) but even though they meet the other group of rebels, you dont know whether they kick the alien souls off of earth or if they learn to live in harmony or what so that bothered me slightly.

if you actually read all of that, thank you ily. feel free to request a book review in the comments if you want :)

omg :D

okay i know this isnt a book review and im sorry but omg look what usha gave me today :D :D :D :D (i have no idea how those faces are going to show up but they're an accurate description of me atm)

Legend, Marie Lu

so Legend by Marie Lu is a dystopian "fight the power" kind of book (like Divergent and The Hunger Games) and i know that those books are really popular right now and there's a lot of them but this one really is amazing i love it so much asdfghjkl. its a trilogy (Legend, Prodigy, and Champion) (i havent read Champion yet though ): ) and yeah. (this post was requested by +Josh Xu btw.)

Summary:

(its been a while since ive read this book so instead of me writing a lame and probably inaccurate summary here is the inside cover)

What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.

From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths – until the day June’s brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family’s survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias’s death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.

Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills.

My overall opinion:

9/10. its amazing omg. i ship june and day so hard asdfghjkl. and its really suspenseful and its very very very well written and i love the switching perspectives. and also marie lu doesnt kill that many people *cough* jk rowling *cough cough cough* what who said that not me i didnt say anything what are you talking about. anyway. yeah just read the book. this isnt a very interesting blog post im sorry about that. 

anyway here's my copy:

its beautiful isnt it. ("hailey" gave it to me yay thank you tina hailey)


and here's marie lu ( idk i just wanted to have a picture of her here bc shes really pretty)

its nOT FAIR WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE PRETTY AND FUNNY AND AMAZINGLY TALENTED WRITERS LIKE NO YOU CAN CHOOSE ONE OUT OF THE THREE STOP HOGGING ALL THE GOOD QUALITIES SOME PEOPLE ARE NONE OF THE ABOVE OKAY. 

The Fault in our Stars, by John Green

okay so the books that im reading atm aren't really that post-worthy so im going to blog about some of my favorite books that i've already read. so im going to be talking about The Fault in our Stars, which is one of my most favoritest (yes that's a word dont argue with me this is my blog) books ever asdfghjkl its so perfect and heartbreaking and funny and beautiful and asdfghjkl. "Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book." thats the kind of book this is. (if you thought that was too deep for me to have written then 1. thanks for your faith in my writing skills and 2. you're right i didnt write it, thats a quote from this book) if you havent read it yet stop reading this right now, turn off your computer or ipod or whatever, and read it. now. you have to. okay? okay. <- lol that was a reference to this book hahahahaha im so funny i crack myself up (that was sarcasm but yeah it was pretty genius)

so anyway. this book isnt part of a series, and its by john green (the most amazing perfect hilarious genius person to ever walk this earth ever... like ever) (that was a taylor swift reference to those of you who understood that) and yeah hes just kind of the best. so anyway heres the book cover:

and yeah. so since its not a series theres no background info or ship updates *tears* yes i know its so sad but now im going to tell you what its about and if you havent already then you hAVE TO READ IT OKAY? OKAY. (lol i did it again) like i told alisha to read it like last month and she still hasnt finished it because its "boring" but she's wroNG OKAY? OKAY.(omg guys im so good at this) so anwyay dont be an alisha.read the book. okay? okay. (im on a roll guys)

 Summary:

so the book is written from the perspective of a girl named Hazel Grace, and she has lung cancer and basically her lungs keep filling up with fluid and she has to carry this little cart with oxygen in it around everywhere. so she meets this boy named Augustus Waters (i love him okay? okay. (again!!!)  <3) and he had cancer but now he's all better but he has a fake leg and you know what happens next hint hint wink wink nudge nudge and so basically they bond over this book by Peter van Houten called An Imperial Affliction. and then

SPOILER ALERT EVEN THOUGH I TOLD YOU TO STOP READING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS POST IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK YET BUT IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT THINKS THEY'RE TOO COOL FOR RULES THEN THINK AGAIN CUZ NOT ON MY BLOG YOU'RE NOT SO IF YOU ARE STILL READING I DONT KNOW WHAT EXACTLY YOU THINK YOU'RE ACCOMPLISHING. GO. READ. NOW.

they go to amsterdam to meet him and he actually turns out to be a drunken arrogant obnoxious little jerk but that's besides the point because then when they come back augustus tells hazel that actually he has cancer that is significantly worse than her cancer (even though before this they both kind of assumed that hazel would die first cuz hers was worse but actually it seems like that was not the case) and that is most likely probably going to kill him. so they spend a bunch of time together and then augustus dies and yeah actually its not a very eventful book that's pretty much it.

My overall opinion

 overall its 2384659823045/10 yoU HAVE TO READ IT. and yeah my favorite character would either be isaac cuz hes so funny omg i love him or augustus because hes also really funny and because he's so sarcastic and sometimes he just has these deep thoughts and yeah augustus waters is a beautiful person whY DOES HE HAVE TO DIE. the story isnt amazingly geniusly unique or anything but its so incredibly well written (john green is a genius) and its DEEP MAN. LIKE EXISTENTIAL PONDERINGS DEEP. and speeeaaking of deepness depth this book is probably the most quotable (omg thats a word i didnt know that. well im guessing its a word since spell check didnt have a problem with it) book ever and some of my favorite quotes come from it. 

fun fact: the books title is based on this quote:

"Men at some time are masters of their fates

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars

but in ourselves, that we are underlings"

-Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

(thats probably not in correct quote format and stuff im sorry mr rossow (dishonor on me, dishonor on my family, dishonor on my cow)(mulan reference)) wow thats a lot of parentheses that looks confusing but im not going to fix it cuz yall are smart enough to figure it out.

but you would know that if you'd already read the book so if you're reading this right now YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THAT. (dont try and trick me i know everything i see everything this is my blog) and yeah so here are my favorite ones from this book (in no particular order)

•  I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once. 
•  My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations
•  "That's the thing about pain," Augustus said, and then glanced back at me. "It demands to be felt"
•   "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.” 
•  Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.
• The marks humans leave are too often scars.  
•  The world is not a wish-granting factory.
•  Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you
•  Augustus Waters was a self-aggrandizing bastard. But we forgive him. We forgive him not because he had a heart as figuratively good as his literal one sucked, or because he knew more about how to hold a cigarette than any nonsmoker in history, or because he got eighteen years when he should've gotten more.'
  'Seventeen,' Gus corrected.
  'I'm assuming you've got some time, you interupting bastard.
  'I'm telling you,' Isaac continued, 'Augustus Waters talked so much that he'd interupt you at his own funeral. And he was pretentious: Sweet Jesus Christ, that kid never took a piss without pondering the abundant metaphorical resonances of human waste production. And he was vain: I do not believe I have ever met a more physically attractive person who was more acutely aware of his own physical attractiveness.
  'But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him.'
  I was kind of crying by then
• You are so busy being YOU that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are.
• It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing.
• But it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he has Cassius note, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.
• There is no shortage of fault to be found amid our stars.
• But, in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying.
• And I wondered if hurdlers ever thought, you know, 'This would go faster if we just got rid of the hurdles.

and then of course: 

• Okay? Okay.

and many many more that i am far far far too lazy to add.

yeah i know thats a lot but they're good quotes and they're all hipstery and deep and yeah
so if you're still reading this and you still haven't read the book

1.  i hope you will soon because it really is amazing and yes i did cry a lot when i was reading this (i haVE NO SHAME)
2. you're a rule breaker. i like you. 
3. now get off my blog and start reading. okay? okay. (laST TIME I SWEAR)

and heres a picture of my copy:

loOOK ITS SIGNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JOHN GREEN SIGNED MY BOOK!!! THAT MEANS HE HAS PHYSICALLY TOUCHED MY BOOOOKK AND BY DOING SO ACKNOWLEDGED ITS EXISTENCE AND THEREFORE INDIRECTLY ACKNOWLEDGED MY EXISTENCE!!!!!! but i wasnt there when it was signed it was bought like that by my wonderful amazing friend maryam who gave it to me for my birthday (thank you maryam ily)

House of Hades, Heroes of Olympus Book 4, by Rick Riordan

So house of hades came out last week and asdfghjkl. its the fourth book in the heroes of olympus series, (The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, The Mark of Athena, and The House of Hades) which is a continuation of the percy jackson and the olympians books. and in case you havent already noticed im kind of a little bit slightly obsessed with them.

see look at the beautiful cover isnt he a genius

anyway.

im not going to do a background info for the percy jackson and the olympians series (only the heroes of olympus series) just because thats a lot of work and also im assuming yall have read that and if you havent dear youre missing out on one of the best parts of life

Background Info

After the demigods win the battle with the Titans, Rachel Elizabeth Dare (idk i just like using her full name)  (the oracle of delphi) delivers this prophecy

Seven half- bloods will answer the call

To storm or fire the world must fall

An oath to keep with a final breath

And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death

(did i mention hes a genius)

The halfbloods (Jason - son of Jupiter, Leo (my personal favorite i love leo okay) - son of Hephaestus, Piper - daughter of Aphrodite, Percy - son of Poseidon, Annabeth - daughter of Athena, Hazel Levesque - daughter of Pluto, and Frank Zhang - son of Mars) and also Nico di Angelo (hes my very very very close second favorite i love nico so much afhoiskjld) - son of Hades (even though hes not part of the prophecy he comes with them) are on a quest to close the Doors of Death (the doors to Tartarus which keep the dead monsters and demons and stuff dead - at least temporarily) Their main enemies are Gaea (the oldest goddess, the Earth Mother) and the giants. When The Mark of Athena ends, Percy and Annabeth have been thrown in to Tartarus (COMPLETELY UNFAIR OF RICK BTW BECAUSE WHO DOES THAT. LIKE HEYY IM GONNA THROW YOUR OTP IN TO TARTARUS AND LOL OKEI YOU WONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS UNTIL NEXT FALL HAHAHAH *forced laughing* oh. youre. so. funny. haha. rick. im. laughing. so. hard. *sobbing*) and the rest of them are on the Argo II  and going to Greece. They're supposed to meet up with Percy and Annabeth  at the Doors of Death.

(side note - he also added a dedication in the beginning of this book that went like this:

To my wonderful readers: 

Sorry about that last cliff - hanger. 

Well no, not really. HAHAHAHA.

But seriously, I love you guys.

um do you thINK THAT EVEN BEGINS TO COVER THE AMOUNT OF EMOTIONAL STRESS WE WERE UNDER DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE ALREADY EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE YOU CANT JUST DO THIS TO US. )

SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT SCROLL BEYOND THIS POINT IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK SEE IM TYPING THIS IN REALLY BIG FONT TO GET THE POINT ACROSS TRUST ME DONT DO IT

 

 

 

 

Ship update

• Jason and Piper are still together :) :) :) and jason wants to go to CHB with piper after the war.
• Hazel and Frank are too :) :) 
• PERCABETH ASDFGHJKL THEYRE SO CUTE I CANNOT EVEN 
• Nico's bisexual and he has a crush on Percy (i dont ship it because i always thought of percy as kind of a big brother to nico but then once bianca died he got all mature and grown up and he hid his emotions really well and i guess theyre okay but PERCABETH) (i mildly ship nico with leo because they both feel like the dont belong and nobody wants them and they have self esteem issues and stuff and they've both been through so much but theyre so different and the only problem is leo is creeped out by nico and also)
• Leo meets Calypso and they start to like each other and leo promises he'll come back for her and asdfghjkl (tbh i just want leo to be happy and calypso does make him happy and thats good and im happy because seriously leo deserves to be happy and sometimes i just feel like giving him a huge hug and telling him dont worry everything will be okay in the end i have complete faith in Rick Riordan) (the amount of attraction i feel towards some of these characters scares me a little) 

Summary: 

this post is getting a bit long already so im just gonna tell you to go here because they have a really good summary.

WARNING THEY HAVE SPOILERS TOO OKAY

My Overall Opinion:

345678583468/10 it was so perfect asdfghjkl i cant. i loved loved loved the percabeth scenes of course. and i reeeaally especially loved Leo in this book because he's so funny and he's actually really sensitive but he hides it but in this one with calypso and everything he's starting to show it a little and asdfghjkl i love him. alssooo i loved Nico because he's like so insecure and he hates himself for being different but he's actually a really amazing person and also crucial to the mission but he's so sad and then jason was kind of insensitive when he was talking to him and nico was all sad and i was like come here nico its okay you just need a hug. (like i said. the amount of attraction for these characters scares me) and coach hedge is a daddy!!!! and idk that made me really happy. and also *round of applause for rick riordan* because he ended the book properly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay congratulations rick you learned  how to end a book without almost causing a mutiny in your own fandom!!!! (jk that was sarcasm i love you rick youre a genius and asdfghjkl) speaking of his geniusness the book was also absolutely amazingly written and i loved how everyone got POVs in it (i just kind of wish nico had gotten some)  and yeah this book was kind of completely perfect and while i do not want to wait an entire year to read the next one (The Blood of Olympus) its NOTHING compared to last time.

(thats my copy of the book. isnt it beautiful.)

Fall of Five, Lorien Legacies Book 4, By Pittacus Lore

So today I'm going to be talking the 4th book in the Lorien legacies series, fall of five, by Pittacus Lore. The series (I am Number Four, The Power of Six, The Rise of Nine, The Fall of Five) is one of  my favorites ever... like... evER OMG. 

Background info:

The series is about aliens from the planet Lorien, which was destroyed by another alien species, the Mogodorians (from planet Mogodore) Only 9 of the Loric survived, and they were put on a ship headed for Earth. Oh yeah, and they were toddlers when this happened. Each was accompanied by a Cepan, whose job is to protect their Garde member and train them so they would be ready to fight the Mogodorians and take back Lorien when the time came. There was also a curse placed on them that they would only be able to be killed in order of their numbers. Numbers One, Two, and Three have died when the first book begins. (hence the name I am Number Four) 

Stuff you should probably know:

• John is Four's human name (he prefers to go by that)
• Marina is Seven's human name (same thing)
• Malcolm, Sam's long lost - just found dad, was working with the Loric on Earth long before Sam and John became best friends (Coincidence? I THINK NOT)
• In Rise of Nine, the Garde tried to fight Setrakus Ra and failed. (thankfully, no one died)
• Each of the Garde have powers called Legacies, but each one has different powers. (For example: John can shoot light out of his hands, Eight can teleport, Marina can heal people, etc)
• Setrakus Ra is the leader of the Mogodorian army on Earth
• Each Loric has a Chest, with some special Loric stuff
• There was a prophecy drawn on the walls of a cave in India that showed Eight getting killed. They thought this was talking about the time where Eight did die (during the battle with Setrakus) but was healed by Marina.
• Pittacus Lore is an alias; there is a character in the series named Pittacus Lore, and he is Lorien's ruling Elder. (he's also dead)

Ship Update: 

• John and Sarah are still together, but John is starting to worry about what will happen after the battle.
• Eight and Marina are starting to spend a lot of time together (hint hint wink wink nudge nudge)
• Six rejects Sam because she knows there will be casualties, and "maybe if Sam were somewhere safe, it could be different" (really, Six?) 

Synopsis of the book:

John, Sarah, Six, Marina, Eight, and Nine, are hiding out in New York, while Sam is rescued from the Mogs by his dad, and a traitor Mog named Adam. They are reunited again in New York, and then soon go on a mission to find Number Five. They find him in Arkansas, and bring him back to New York with them. Meanwhile, in New York, Ella's nightmares are getting worse, until they actually begin to think that the nightmares are  messages from Setrakus Ra. So now that they're all together, they start training to work as a team and trying to figure out how to use the items in their Chests, because they don't another incident like the last time they tried to fight Setrakus. Then Ella has a really bad nightmare, and she won't wake up. When John tries to touch her, he passes out too. While John and Ella are comatose, Six, Marina, Eight, Nine, and Five leave for Florida to recover Five's Chest.

  SPOILER ALERT - if you haven't read it yet, and plan on reading it soon DON'T KEEP READING.

okay don't say i didn't warn you. 

So they reach the island where Five claims his Chest is and they take it, but when they're about to leave, Five attacks them. (he wAS WORKING WITH THE MOGS D: ) He tries to convice Marina to join him, but she says no. (of course) He almost kills Six and Nine, and he acTUALLY KILLS EIGHT. :'( *moment of silence for Eight* (yes, Eight is dead, it works out like the propechy said it would after all) Marina gets really mad (obviously) and almost kills Five, then she, Six, and Nine leave.

Meanwhile, in New York, the penthouse is attacked by Mogs (because Five revealed their location) and with Ella and John still in a coma, Sarah, Sam, and Macolm (Sam's dad) are left to defend themselves. But then (thankfully) John wakes up, and Adam comes to save them (yay, he didn't die after all) and that's how it ends.  

My overall opinion:

9/10 

So over all, I really loved this book. I couldn't put it down (even though one of my friends ruined both of the big plot twists for me -_-) and it was really well written, just like the rest of the series. I do kind of wish that Eight hadn't been the one to die, though, because he was my favorite, and also I really wanted it to work out with him and Marina. But I was happy with John and Sarah, and I really want to know whether Sarah will come with John to Lorien or if John will stay on Earth with Sarah or if mysterious option C will hapen. ......um I don't really have much else to say except for wOW FIVE IS AN ARROGANT LITTLE JERK ISN'T HE.
