The Brotherband Chronicles book 1: The Outcasts

This book is the companion series to Rangers Apprentice which are both by John Flanagan.  The main story is about the Brotherband training to become a Skandian warrior.  Brotherband training essentially where he and his fellow Brotherband members compete in a series of events in competition of 2 other teams.  This book was so amazing I read through it in a day!  Totally a 5 of 5

The Fault in Our Stars

I read this book in a matter of hours and decided that it was worth the 4-5 hours of my life.  This book is captivating from front to back with its...entertaining story.  In this wonderful book Hazel appears to be depressed in the eyes of her parents so they send her to a support group in the "literal heart of Jesus."  In the support group Hazel meets Augustus.  She and Augustus start seeing each other but not quite in the dating way.  As the book progresses they go through a series of ups and downs but they stick together through it all.  Even though there are s's, d's, gd's, misuse of God's name, one or two f bombs, and a's (in multiple forms of a such a clown) I give this book a 4 of 5

A Tale Dark & Grimm

This book is "the true story of Hansel and  Gretel."  As the story goes through Adam Gidwitz gives his personal option on different parts of the story.  His options and thoughts are in bold (so you know if you read the book).  One thing I found annoying is that throughout the beginning there were multiple "The End"'s but on the next page it would say something like "Almost" or "Well not really".  That bugged me because I never knew when the real chapter would end.  It was not what I expected (in a good way) so I give it 41/4 of 5
