Hi Trevor,

I just finished The Fault in our Stars by John Green. Honestly, I don’t see why everyone loves this book so much. I thought it was very well written and a very sweet story. I wasn’t captivated by it though and I have no idea why.

My favorite character was Augustus Waters. He was such a sweet and thoughtful boy.  I broke my heart when he died. I love it how he wrote Peter Van Houten about an epilogue for Hazel.

I don’t really have a least favorite character. I suppose the logical choice would be Peter Van Houten, but I can’t hate him. He probably was tired of everyone freaking out about how good his book was. He probably though, “Oh, here’s another couple out to badger me about writing a sequel.” That is still no way to treat people though.

I don’t have any particular feelings about this book. It was very well written, but I can’t find anything I like or dislike about it. I don’t really like romantic books which is probably why I don’t have particular feelings about this book. Anyways, talk to you soon.

Hi Trevor,

I am so sorry, but I will not be able to go to the Exhibition next Monday. I have a National Charity League meeting and it is really important that I attend. So sorry!

Hi Trevor,

I just finished Ready Player One by Ernest Cline for my free book. It was so good! This is the only book I have ever taken to soccer practice because I couldn’t put it down. It was just that good!

My favorite character in the book is Art3mis. She is a very strong character and shows determination throughout the book. I can relate to her because she is very competitive like me. Even though Wade Watts finds the first key before her, she will stop at nothing to get ahead.

My least favorite character was the leader of IOI Oology division, Nolan Sorrento. He is pure evil. He kills a lot of people to have a chance to be rich! That is not right! He tries to kill Art3mis and Wade and all of their friends and he kills 2 of them. Nooooooooo! He is not O.K. Not by a long shot.

I really enjoyed this book. Ernest Cline described his characters emotions and thoughts so well I was living through them. I felt like I lived in this world of high-tech video games. He kept his pace fast but not so fast that I couldn’t see where he was going. This book has made my top 5 of all time! This book was so good!

See you,

Maeve
