This is one of most famous classic book in literature. I shouldn't explain why it is a highly recommendable read but I will tell you my point of view and some stuff that surprised me or that I found interesting.

The first thing that I didn't expect was the fast plot, the whole story goes on in only 4 days, little time for me. Or at least for a love story where the lovers get laid,married and died together by its passion. Maybe this is the master point of the play, you can actually imagine all those things happen in front of you even if you don't actually see the play.

You can see a lot of similarities between this book and nowadays normal young adult books, for example some of the phrases of Romeo and how he describes his love for Juliet and they way he acts are quite similar to the way some of our favorites guys in YA books act, I really find so many similarities between Edward Cullen (Twilight) and Romeo, and you should have guess Romeo and Juliet it's kinda annoying at some points if you are not a natural romantic.

There a lot of things that sometimes are a little bit too twisted with all of the family hatred and that kind of problems. I would defintly recommend to read this book not only because it a obligated reading but because it's a way I think to understand better modern literature.

The Lonely Hearts Club

The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Love is all you need...or is it? Penny's about to find out in this wonderful debut. Penny is sick of boys and sick of dating. So she vows - no more. It's a personal choice...and, of course, soon everyone wants to know about it. And a few other girls are inspired. A movement is born; The Lonely Hearts Club (named after the band from Sgt. Pepper). Penny is suddenly known for her nondating ways...which is too bad, because there's this certain boy she can't help but like.

For those who have had (I think almost everyone) the heart broken once by an idiot this book is perfect. Maybe it's a little bit predictable but you will have lots of fun.

After the Blue Prince of Penny Lane broke her heart, she will promise herself that she will never ever care about guys anymore so she decide to create a new and original club,The Lonely Hearts Club. This club is integrated only by girls who want to stop caring about guys and want to start a new way of life,caring about friends,being more proud of herself.

The club was going on well until parents and even teachers get involve,the guys are complaining about this club and some girls want to restart dating guys. What will Penny do to save her club?

In this book the are a lot of references of The Beatles which I think (as a little Beatle fan) it's great because you can read the book while you play the songs on your ipod.

I love this book because it's funny,full of entertaiment,cool and has a lot of positive energy. The characters are great and it has a fast pace. Also remarks the moral that got the book:

"Guys are important but so do you and your friends,keep the balance in your life"

Twilight

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this book so much and I know some people will complaing because this isn't a master piece, I agree but I didn't become a Twihard because I think it is a must read book, I just love it because I like the plot and the new focus of the vampires life style.

What I mainly love of this book is the misteryous character Edward,you only know what you know from him from Bella's point of view, but she's in love with him so for her he is just perfect. He seems to hate himself at the begining,anyway later on you can see that he awesomely has also a funny point. (Famous crooked smile,fangirls gotta love him)

You don't really know where this love relationship will take them but as you can read Bella's mind is a little bit messed up.

Them we have Carlise and Charlie to characters that I love because each one is the alter ego of the other, Vampire daddy and Human daddy working together!!! It's not like that but I like their short conversations.

Divergent

Divergent by Veronica Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

At first I didn't expect too much of this book, all the people say this book is like the Hunger Games, believe when I say you that this book and The Hunger Games have nothing in common but the kind of theme that they treat, dystopia.

When I was reading the first chapter I was a little confused, I was surprise by the way the author deals with some problems that all dystopian books have such as the laws or the way the goverment works, even more important, the way that the people of the world that she have created think.

One thing that I really love from this book are the characters, my favorite one with no doubt it's Four, an amazing character that it's by far better than Gale from the Hunger Games, his personality and developed throught all the plot.

Tris is as well an awesome female star but I will wait to the next book to finally decide if is as worth as Katniss like a female leader.

In short if you haven't read this book I don't what are you waiting for, You will love it from the beggining to the end. You would not start reading this book with preconded ideas just enjoy and don't be surprised if you finish this book in only 2 days.

PD: I'm in love with Tris and Four romance,it's just amazing and so cute what I think it's a goo point for this book,I'm such a romantic I can't stand action books without a bit of love

Pretty Little Liars

 

Title: Pretty Little Liars
Author:Sara Shepard
Publisher:ATOM
Release date:04-11-10

Aria, Emily, Spencer, Hanna and Alison have been best friends since the third grade. They go everywhere together, thinking no-one can come between them. If anyone is the ringleader of the group it is Alison, and the other girls cannot help but confide all their secrets to her. One night, during a sleepover, Alison goes missing. Her body is never found. The girls mourn her death but move apart after time, assuming their secrets have disappeared with Alison too. Three years later and Aria is having an affair with her teacher; Emily is questioning her sexuality; Hanna is a thief; and Spencer is flirting with her sister's fiance. They all think their secrets are safe, until they starting receiving messages from the mysterious A - who knows exactly what they are all up to, and is threatening to spill the beans ...

Well I have to admit that I saw the Tv series before reading the book but I also have to say that I love both, they are so addicting ,but they have their diferences, for example the girl's looking it's a little bit diferent and there are some stories and points in the girls relationship with Alison that for me in some cases are better in the Tv series.

Anyway what I really love about this books is the suspense, action and obvious manipulation that's around Alison's characther. This character not only has a incredible manipulation skill but a incredible way of making you love her and hate her at the same time.

The main point in this book it's basically show the reader how Alison whats kinda like a drug for the girls, the girl share all their secrets with Ali, but her in the end was an stranger, they didn't know nothing about her even being best friends. That's why you are the whole book wondering who is really Alison and why does she lie all the time.

Alison dissapears and the girls stopped being friends, Alison seems the only link between them and know that she's gone they start making their own new lifes thinking that with Alison's abduction all their secrets are buried, what it's interesting at this point it's how the author mess up with you making each chapter for one girl point of view, I like that.

When Alison's body shows up it's something that you expect but what you don't expect is the way that everybody's react, what you really don't expect it's that the girls start coming along together again because of some strange messages from a creepy someone that knows everything about their, just like Ali used to.

For short, an awesome book that you have to read if you love young adult and mistery, it's highly recomendable and totally a worth of reading. I will defintly continue the saga and as well the Tv serie which it's as I said a little bit other story.
