Madeline S, If I Stay finished

Madeline S, If I Stay finished

So I just finished If I Stay really fast. I thought book was okay, I like all the music in it though. I felt that I can relate to Mia musically because we were both afraid to preform and now that I read how well she did as a musician makes me want to work really hard also.

The reason that I didn’t like the book was because of how it was written. A few pages in the book your fine, but after that she gets hit by the car. The rest of book just goes in and out of past present which can get a little confusing. So the book was okay, not my favorite, but okay.

That was my last book for our project. I loved this project and books that I got to read were really good. I thought it was really cool also working with college student. I can’t wait to see the artifacts.

Madeline S, Finished The Book Thief

Madeline S, Finished The Book Thief

So I just finished The Book Thief and I thought it was wonderful. I saw the movie before I read the book, but I think I like the book better. After I read the book, I was in tears. I thought the author did a perfect job with the book, especially how he talked as if he was there watching over Lesiel and watching her grow up. You now how I said that I thought the narrator was talking as if he was god, when I got further, it turns out he was death, taking souls with him as he watched Lesial.

At the end of the book, it doesn’t say much about what happens to Lesial and Max, what had happened between Lesial leaving Mochling and then her dying as a old lady. I wished really knew though.

So no that I finished The Book Thief, I’m now reading If I Stay. I’m not that far in the book, but so far I like it, like how it starts out in the present, then goes into the past. I’m really liking this project a lot.

So right now in the book thief I’m on page 219 where it’s a little after Liesel meets Max and has been visiting the mayor’s wife. So this book is very interesting so far. I like all the language that use. I think it is cool how the writer writes in a different language and then goes back to english. The coolest thing I think is that the narrator writes like he is in the story watching. In some parts it seems to me that he is part of the character’s life. Sometimes when I read a certian part in the book that he is in, the way he talks, makes it seem as if he is god. So I hope whoever else is reading this books loves it.
