Possessed by Katie Cann is the book I'm currently reading & to say the truth, to me, this book keeps me guessing. So far, I've leaned a few things about the main character, Rayne and right now, she's not liking anything about her hometown, which is like the same way my dad feels about his hometown too. From what I've read so far in this book, well its pretty interesting because Rayne is wanting to get away from her home in London, from her controlling boyfriend and her apartment that she currently lives in, with her mother and her little brother. It must be very weird to hear that she hates London, I don't!!!!!!! But it's the way the story must go so I'm okay with that fact. And as I must repeat, my dad also feels the same way and if he was reading this book, he would really connent to the book.
My dad was born & raised in the worst part in the Bronx and his dad used to abuse him all the time. His mother left the picture when he was very young so him and his three sisters never really respected her. They used to get bullied all the time for the way they dressed and the way they used to act so yea. It's kind of obvious, into why he hated the Bronx so much and I really do honor him for all the great achievements he has accomplished & for the fact that he doesn't treat me the way that his father did to him. "Benrock," the nickname that stuck with him when people found out, at his work, about his past. A powerful, achieving, street fighting man that I respect with all my heart and that would never change.
Other from my dad & Rayne, I know there are alot of other people who feel the same way so I would just like to say that if you're really wanting to go away because you hate the way you live at home, or in your hometown, just go, escape to that new place. I might even go to a high school in Staten Island and maybe, just maybe, might not ever return back to Brookyln, ever. But moving on with your life is one of the best decisions you can chose, it's the chance I'm taking, to change my life so, I hope you can open your eyes and experience all the good opportunities in this world, just like me.

Accidental Love by Gary Soto
Well I just finished the book Accidental Love by Gary Soto and I'll have to say that this is a book that really got me begging to read on. It was about how the main chararcter, Marisa, falls in love with a guy that she should have never meet. It all starts when Marisa's about to hit her best friend's ex. Somehow she picked up the wrong phone and that leds into the guy Rene that she falls head over heels for. Thier relationship from there goes up and down with situations that Rene goes through everyday; everyday life for him before he met Marisa.
Most of all, I really liked this book because of the fact that the author took an relationship that barely happens to teenagers and interprets it into a hilarious, some what scarey book. The author gives so much life into the book that for me, makes the reader addicted to this book and until the end, you never know what scene you'll wined up to.
Most of you must of read the first sentence in the second paragraph and must of thought it to yourself, well how come a book with so much to deal with love, can be described as a some what scarey book? Well a) it's possible in so many ways if you have experienced it and b) I was put in that scarey situation myself. So what is this scarey situation you must ask so I respond, in one part of the book, Rene was beat up Marisa"s best friend's ex because of what Marisa had done to him in the beginning so of course, she found out and there was a fight. If you know me as well as you do, you must know that yes, I was in that situation but I'm not getting into more detail 'cause it's kind of obivious where I'm going to whine up, but if you want some advice, never, ever ever underestimate your opponent.
As much as I want to give away the ending, I can't because its wrong but I'll give you a hint, it was very romantic and thought for him to do. Anyway, I recommend this book to readers who want to read about unexpected love and to readers who loves a happy ending and I hope if you read this book, that you'll love it the way I did.

The Phatom Tollbooth Chapter 5: Short Shrift
Chapter 5 in the book, The Phantom Tollbooth, was the most funniest part in the book that I've read. It made me smile from cheek to cheek and I hope that most people, who also read this book had the same feeling I did.
The chapter was mostly about what happened after the Humbug and the Spelling Bee destroying the stalls in the Word Market and the police force came to clear things up. Officer Shrift, the shortest policemen Milo had ever seen, came into the picture and considered that Milo was gulity. Somehow the situation whines up on July 27(the officer's birthday) and as soon as he can, he sentenced Milo and Tock a short sentence and a additional penatly of six million years in prison. He also took them down to the dungeon with the Which. So now, at this very moment, you wonder, but only a judge can sentence you. Well that is true but there's just two promblems. a) He's a judge & b) he's also a jailer.
The way the author, Norton Juster, wrote this chapter with so much humor and imagination, just made me laugh my butt off. It was probably one of my favorite chapters in the book and I hope that I remembered all the good/humor/imagination parts so that I can share them with you. So anyway, I really enjoyed the way he wrote the chapter and as they always say, "humor and imagination is what makes the world go 'round."
