A well-written tale taking place in a futuristic world of robots purchased as friends for children. Ishiguro's characters are well defined and relatable and Klara, the robot, is endearing and almost human. The novel invites though provoking questions and at times familiarity with the world we live in today.

Amazing. Absolutely heartbreaking, but amazing. Set in Georgia shortly after the Civil War, George Walker is out for a walk in his woods one day when he happens upon two emancipated slaves. Having just heard his son was killed in combat, George is desperate to cling to anything, and so he invites the two to help him create a peanut farm on his land. Thus begins an emotional rollercoaster, as George and his family realizes that not all share their opinion about emancipation, and a fire of hatred spreads through the town. Few will remain standing in the ashes, and all will be scared by the outcome of George's actions. Everything about this book was mesmerizing, and it's easily one of the best books published this year.

The book Sisters was one of the best I have read. First I love that the author goes back in time so you can see what happens in the past but it still goes with where you are in the book. Also I like that Reinas siblings are in the book. Furthermore, the drawings were awesome.

Henry and Mudge went to the beach and the beach was called the forever sea. In Henry's bag he had green googles, a yellow bucket, orange shovel and a dump truck. Henry and Mudge got to the forever sea and they had hot dogs. Mudge ate three hot dogs in one gulp. They made a big sand castle but a big wave came and got it!

After getting into a fight with her roommate and abandoning her at a party, Charlie Jordan has become known on campus as "the girl who let her roommate get murdered." Though few will come out with their blame towards Charlie, the same can't be said for her roommate's family. You see, Charlie was at the party her roommate was last seen at, and she's pretty sure she saw the man who killed her. Unfortunately for Charlie, she has a tendency to get lost in her thoughts and hallucinate, so she's not sure what the man actually looked like - just what the figment of her imagination looked like, and he was something out of a Hollywood movie. Unable to deal with the guilt of being useless in the investigation, Charlie decides to use the local ride board to hitch a ride off campus and go home. Cue Josh Baxter, who just so happened to be at the board at the exact same time, and who is going in the same exact direction as Charlie needs to go. It seems like a perfect match! Unfortunately for Charlie, the further along the ride she goes, the more certain she is that the man she's with is not actually Josh Baxter. And he's probably not actually going to where she needs to go. And he seems to know things about her roommate's murder that he shouldn't know, things that were never released to the public. Stuck in the car with him for the rest of the night, Charlie has to do whatever it will take to survive. This is a great quick read, but there's nothing really spectacular about it. The main character getting "movies in her mind" was kind of weird and didn't really seem necessary to the plot at all. I really loved the idea of this book, but the execution of it wasn't there. It's definition something I couldn't put down, but it's not something I'd be likely to remember in a year.

Really great read for people who like a little romance and friendship.

What a great book!!! I loved it and am glad that things worked out for the main character-such a determined, creative thinker looking to better her and her mom's life. I am glad that they discussed the organizations that could help too...DCF is such a saving force in so many people's lives!

I was given this book but was reluctant to read it because of the cover! However I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy a very good read once I decided to persevere and read it. It follows the trials and tribulations of a once landed family in England who are trying to maintain the inheritance despite overwhelming current circumstances. I really enjoyed it.

Well in depth, lots of details and action, ends on a cliffhanger to start the next book. A very good read.

Slow to start and difficult to keep the characters straight. Ending left a lot to be desired. The overall story was enjoyable. The side story about the best friend was not needed and I felt like it was just something to fill pages and was not at all relevant to the murmur plot.
