Death Cure - James Dashner


My Summary: Thomas being left by himself in a room for weeks without human interaction. One day, the "Rat Man" called Jansen,appears and tells Thomas that he is extremely important. He tells Thomas that he has the Flare but he is one of the very rare who are immune to it. He tells Thomas that soon he will know the truth about WICKED. Thomas is reunited with his friends and the other WICKED peoples, including Teresa, Minho and Newt. Because Teresa betrayed him, Thomas doesn't trust Theresa anymore. Jansen tells them all that they will be able to get their memories back by having a surgery that will remove the chip in their brains which the scientists have been using to control and monitor them. Jansen also tells them there are a few among them who aren't immune to the Flare - including Thomas's friend, Newt. Jansen lets them decide if they want to go through with the memory restoring surgery or not.
My Opinion and reasons: 
I think that Janson is a bad person because, in the book he acts rude to the characters.

My Rating/Recommendation: 
5 out of 5. Because this book has a message that touches my mind. Also the message really connected my life, so the book was really fun.

where and tries to figure out where they are. Most of his friends

This book had a plot that did not build in the beginning but then it
started building up more and more until it finally reached it’s climax.

Alice in Wonderland

My Summary:
This book is about a girl who falls in a world with talking animals. In the land of wonderland, there is a talking animal, talking cards, and all sort of weird powers. There is a queen that rule the land. It is a heart queen. She is cruel and tries to kill alice who accidentally fell to the world.


My Opinion and reasons:
I think instead of other innocent people, heart queen should go to the jail. Because heart queen is very evil enough to kill every people who disobeys her.


My Rating/Recommendation:

I recommend this book to fantasy lovers. My rate is 3/5. Because the main idea isn’t clear to me.  

Book review: Lord of the Ring II: The Two towers by J.R.R Tolkien

This book is one of the series of the Lord of the Ring. In this book, the main character, Frodo, who is the weird creature called hobbit. (a mixture of rabbit and human.) One day, his uncle, Bilbo told him that he has a ring which could control all the ring of the rulers in the middle earth (where the story took place), and give it to his nephew. But, the evil lord called Sauron was trying to get the ring, so, Frodo decided to destroy the ring once and for all. With his loyal friends and human warrior named Aragon, and a strange wizard named Gandalf, he took journey to the mountain to destroy the ring. But, he faces a danger….. an orcs, terrified creatures of the middle earth. Can Frodo successfully finish his mission? “Can he save his world?”

I think this is well-written books with lots of crafts. Like, during this book, there’s lot of alliteration and liming words which made the book more interesting. Also, the author gave a lot of details to describe each characters in this story.

I give 4 out of 5 stars to this book because, even though this book was interesting and very tense, it was tough and hard for me. I recommend you to read this book when your reading level is higher than V. I recommend this book to the fantasy lovers and historians because the setting of this book is similar to the European medieval age.

The westing game by Ellen Raskin

This book is about Mr. Westing’s will. One day, Mr. Westing wanted to play game. So, he called heirs to let them stay in Sunset hotel and let them inference who killed Mr. Westing. But, there are bomber, thief, mistakes among the heir. Many things happened in the hotel, like the bomb exploded and, someone steal clues. Turtle(character) tried to solve the truth of the will and, what job do the heirs had. In fact, she found the truth of will by matching mysterious clues. In my opinion, this book is adventurous and, interesting. Because, while I read this book, I couldn’t throw tension away because, the author used sound impact, action and repetition. I recommended this book for people who loves to read mystery, adventurous and, exciting book. I give this book thumbs up because, the author used mysterious sentence in at the end of the chapter, and it makes us to concentrate on the book. Rate: 4.2 out of 5.  

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Divergent+hc+c(2).jpg
This book is about a 16-year old girl who lives in a society which is divided by five groups of people: Dauntless, Abnegation, Amity, Erudite, and Candor. Every year, 16 year- old children choose a faction to live their whole life in. One thing is that if they choose a different faction from their parent’s faction, it means they betray their family forever. She chooses Dauntless, apart from Abnegation. But in Dauntless, with her dangerous secret that can take her life away, needs to hide her secret to save her life. Will she? If you want to know, let’s read it.  

I think this is a great book because it shows us about a conflict between human nature and a faction system which force people to think that the group a person is in, is more important than that person’s family, which is against human nature, which made me think a lot. This book shows us that human nature is not changeable by any kinds of things people tries to change it.

I want to give 4 stars out 5 star for this book. I recommend you to read the book before you watch the movie because you can imagine more about the book, then watch the movie, which makes you compare your imagination and the story with the book.

























11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass

I really liked this book because it’s the story of a boy and a girl who are born on the same day and are best friends. But on their 10th birthday, Leo ( the boy ) is talking with his friends and Amanda overhears his friends telling him not to be friends with her and Leo says yes. Amanda just leaves the party because she is mad at him. One year passes. When they were little, a woman had talked to their parents about celebrating their birthday every year together. But since their fight, they haven’t talked. This year, they aren’t celebrating it together. On their birthday, they have an okay day.  When Amanda goes to sleep, the next day is again her birthday and so on.

I liked this book because it tells you that you are stronger with your friend than alone and together you can solve out a problem.

I give this book a 6 out of 5 stars because I couldn’t let it go! I needed to see what happened and I enjoyed the suspense. I recommend this book to everybody who likes suspense and adventure.
