The Truth About Forever

This week I read the fiction book The Truth About Forever written by Sarah Dessan. This book is about a girl named Macy who watches her father die. She doesn't know how to react to the loss and mourn. She begins to life a very free life where she begins to do crazy things. She has a lot of fun but she also faces many challenges. I thought that this was a really good book, it was a lot different then how I thought it was going to be and I think that the characters were really well developed. While reading the book I found myself be able to know the characters. I also think that the plot of the book is really different then many books that I have read. Overall this was a great book that I think a lot of people should try. Some of the books I would like to read over winter break are : Impulse, City of Bones, Beautiful Darkness, No Easy Day, The Perks of Being a Wallflower,

I try not to wince as the buckets try to fit into the next divet. After a few minutes the buckles are the tightest they can be. I stand, attempting to gain my balance, and lean forward. My toes that had been previously cheated, slide away for the end of the book. After aAfter a while my feet began to ache, barely having enough time to get them off, I free my feet. Almost seconds later another pair of boots arrive at my feet ready for me to try them on.

Tracks

This week I read the non-fiction book Tracks written by Robyn Davidson. The book is a first hand account of when she took the journey of walking across the Australian desert. It was a 1,700 mile long walk where she only had a dog and four camels. She faces all of the challenges that come with the desert and then some. It was a really inspiring book where I really got to know the character, who was such a strong person. Overall I really enjoyed this book and I feel like so would many others.'
