This week I stared and finished the book Flush by Hiaasen Knopf. I would say it was more than a par of Hoot but I have never read holes. From the movie and what I have heard I think I am correct by saying this book is way more than a par of Holes. This book starts out as a save the environment story that will tell you about how un-environmental friendly we are and how we should change that. Then out of nowhere the book turns in to a sabotage story about these 2 kids trying to buts a casino owner from dumping waste in to the ocean. The 2 kids make friends with this man who lives in a trailer and make a deal with him. They say if he writes a report to the coast guard saying he witnessed the boat dumping waste in to the ocean they would give him a boat. This is one of the things they do to show the city what was going on. And the book only gets better.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fishing or the ocean because this book has constant references to them. I would also recommend this book to anyone who likes books with action and exposing the evil. This book is one of those stories just disked with child characters. There is one problem with this book; you have to keep reading until page 10. That’s when it becomes interesting. Over all I give this book 9 out of 10.

What I read this week
This week I read a graphic novel called Death Note. The story was written by Tsugumi Ohba and the art in the book is done by Takeshi Obata. This book is a mystery murder story that focuses on an old Japanese legend. A high school boy picks up a book call the death note. Later after reading what is in the book he figures out that whoever’s name he writes in the book, 50 seconds later they die of heart failure. With this power he starts to kill inmates and suspects of crimes thinking he is doing something good for the world. The Japanese government is asked the question “is it okay for someone to be killing people who do bad things”, they couldn’t give an answer so then they started the investigation that would lead to finding the killer. The boy who has the book is very smart and he joins the police force and helps them look for the killer (himself). He tricks the police force so well they end up chasing their own tail.
This book makes you want to get the next one because it pulls you so deep in to the story. This graphic novel is part 3 of 10. I know what happens at the end however, I want to know what happens in the middle of the story. This book is rated 13+ because it has a lot to do with death and killing.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery stories or graphic novels that take a long time to read because one of these books takes 2 times longer to read than a Naruto book

Book Review on The Giver
Have you ever thought what it would feel like to have no emotions and be color blind? In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry there is a town where everything functions perfectly. Every citizen has no emotion and is color bind because the town council thought it would be better for their town if the people didn’t have those things. There is only one person in the town that has the ability to feel emotions and see colors. That one person was getting old so they found someone to replace him. The old person gave the new person memories about the emotions and colors. The new person learns secrets about his town and thinks he can change something.
I just finished this book and I loved it. It had an interesting story line with interesting characters. It was a odd story but that adds on to making you want to read more. I would recommend this book to anyone who wanders what our world would be like if we didn’t have problems but not as many things that made us unique as individuals. This book is not for people younger than 10 because at some times this book can get a little weird. If you get board of books that go on for a long time don’t read this book you have to have patience to continue reading to the good parts you will love it. The end of this book is satisfying and makes you want to read the other 2 books by the author that tie in with this book. I have just finished this book and I am ready to read Gathering Blue, I think it is about the same town.
