Peeps

Peeps by Scott Westerfeld
Stars: 3.5 out of 5
Genre: Fantasy
Age group: 15 and up

Wow, this is my 5th Westerfeld book in a row! Go Westerfeld! Anyway, Peeps is about a vampire parasite looking for his formal girlfriends which are all infected because of him.

What I really like about Peeps is that the even number chapters are about real, gross parasites. That makes me learn a lot about our microscopic "friends" and now, I am officially a vegetarian. Another thing about Peeps: the parasites mentioned in this book makes an infected person act like a vampire. Getting the parasite is from saliva and that is really original. I live for originality and so far, that's the most creative way to become a vampire.

The vampires-excuse me- parasite positives (a.k.a peeps) are very original. That makes the reader interested in the story because you are reading about a topic you don't know about. It is very interesting to see how disgusting little worms can be turned into a brand new story.

Westerfeld, you are the master at writing fantasy! Take that from someone who has read 5 of your books and wrote reviews for all of them in a row!

Tattoo

Tattoo by Jennifer Barnes

Stars: 4 out of 5

Genre: Fantasy

Age Group: all ages

This book was amazing. Tattoo was filled with teen drama, mystery, action, adventure and tons more.

One of my favorite parts was the powers. Barnes had a lot of creatitvity with them. How Delia used her power was funny and my favorite. I really liked how in the ending, Bailey discovers that she gets to keep her powers. That seemed like the story was going to stretch on and it wasn't going to end. I would love to read the sequel of this book and other books by Barnes.

Great job, Jennifer Barnes!

Anasi Boys

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman

Stars: 3 out of 5
Genre: Fantasy
Age Group: 14 and up

When I picked up Anansi Boys, I didn't know what to expect. I never read Neil Gaiman's works before. After I was done, I was glad that I read a fantastic author's works.

While reading Anansi Boys, I was fascinated at Gaiman's cleverness and Anansi's history. I learned so much about the witty spider Anansi and his sons, Charles "Fat Charlie" and Spider. The characters were so different but kept bumping into each other in the book which caused several plots.

Neil Gaiman wrote a witty, smart, and scary good story.

Breaking Dawn

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

Stars: 4.5 out of a possible 5
Genre:Fantasy, Love
Age Group: 15 and up

Breaking Dawn was a thrill to read. It kept me on the edge of my seat. There were surprises on each page. I literally gasped on each page and my brother found me talking to myself about the book. Even though the book is around 700 pages, it was one of the fastest book I've read. It was impossible to put down.

When I was done with the book, I was upset I finished it, so I read it again. The second time was even better. I still enjoyed reading about the love between the vampire, Edward, and the human, Bella. Even days after I finished it, I still found myself dreaming and thinking about it. Breaking Dawn will stay with it you for a long time!

I was a little disappointed there wasn't any fighting like in the other books of the Twilight Saga. I really wanted to see Bella's gift in the battlefield.

I have to say, Well done, Stephenie Meyer! It was a great end to a great series!
