The Host

This week I read The Host written by Stephanie Meyer. This book is about a girl who lives in a world were aliens have taken over. She has an alien taking over her body, and they are fighting to see who can ultimately win. This book is one of my absolute favourites, I had seen the movie and even though they are a little different they are both equally incredible. There was not a clear symbol in this book or something that happened to reoccur throughout the book. Overall I recommend this book and I think anybody who wants to should absolutely read it.

The Absolute True Diary of a Part Time Indian Part 2

This week I finished our book group book, The Absolute True Diary of a Part Time Indian written by Sherman Alexie. This book starts with a boy named Junior who decides to leave the school on his Indian reservation and go to a school that is considered a rich white kid school, that is outside of the reservation. Throughout the book he deals with a lot of bullying and not knowing where he fits in. The ending of the book was not as satisfying as I would have wanted it to be but I still thought that it was a overall good book. I really like the idea of it and there was a lot of present themes that showed throughout the book. I think that this is a good book groups book because it has a lot of great things that can be discussed and I think that it is in general a good book group type book. Overall I think that this is a great book that many people would enjoying no matter what types of books they like to read.

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

This week I read Catch-22 written by Joseph Heller. Catch-22 is set during World War 2. The main character, Yossarian, is in Italy for the war. In the book he must make the decision whether or not to stay and fight in the war with thousands of people trying to kill him, or surrender his position. This book was an incredible read. It was so well written and detailed and really funny book. It was also a really interesting read and I was consistently wanting to read more of it. I really liked how the author wrote about the character. He used a lot of detail and I feel like I almost got to know him and could picture him really well. The author also did the same with the setting each time it would change. Overall throughout this book it was consistently intriguing and I would definitely recommend this to everybody.
