Please Ignore Vera Dietz

This Week I read Please Ignore Vera Dietz By A.S King. I thought this book was clever, interesting, and witty. It is about a girl named Vera Dietz, who's best friend Charlie just died, Well best friend and worst enemy. Throughout the book she explains who Charlie was, what happened to him in his last six months, and how he died. I would highly recommend this book to most people in our class. I think that the set up is interesting, and the directions it takes are very interesting. 

Character description: Because with Charlie, nothing was ever easy. Everything was windswept and octagonal and finger-combed. Everything was difficult and odd, and the theme songs all had minor chords.

The dead will tell

This book was interesting. I personally I am not a very big fan of the mystery genre (It feels some what formulaic, an overworked cop is tracking down a killer, commonly serial killer, and needs to stop them before they strike again. The follow one lead which looks like it may lead to an arrest but turns out to be nothing. In a twist the cop suddenly figures out who the murder is and has a final showdown with them, resulting in the cop winning and finishing the book ), so this book was hard for me. It's about an over worked cop (cough* cough* formula much cough* cough*) who is working on a murder investigation that turns out to be tied to another murder from thirty years ago. Soon she is racing to find the murderer before he or she strikes again. This book was ok. It wasn't the best book I have ever read, but it wasn't Twilight either. If you enjoy the mystery genre then I would recommend this book. It is interesting and has some clever twists, although I will say the formula is annoying at times.

Fairest

This book was interesting. It wasn't as good as the other books in the series but it was ok. If you have no idea what I am talking about this book is the prequel to the Cinder trilogy which I would highly recommend. If you want to look at my review on that then click here. This book is about Queen Levana, the villain in the Cinder trilogy. This is the story of how she became a violent and cruel Queen she is today. The story shows her rise to power starting with the death of her parents and ending with the murder of her husband.  Personally I didn't think this book stands out very much against the books that it was inspired by. It is still clever and interesting, but as a stand alone book it doesn't do very well. I would recommend this book to anyone who has read the Cinder trilogy (which I would strongly recommend most people read) and is looking of something while waiting for the next book to come out.
