Books BEDA

So, I will admit I was running out of ideas so I’m gonna talk about books that not everyone knows about that I like or dislike, because one can never talk too much about books.

Yesterday I was with a friend and decided to talk about a book on my shelf that she noticed. It’s called The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. My friends have shortened this to Stats. I adore this book. Is it a logical premise? Absolutely not. Is it adorable? Yes. Does it have some good quotes? Yes. Is it worth reading? If you like young adult romance then yes. It’s a feel good book, so if that’s what you’re looking for then this is a great read.

My most recent read was James Paterson’s the Witch and Wizard series book, The Gift. Now this book is fantasy. The series has a great premise, but as many of his teen books do, I can’t speak for the adult books, it falls a bit flat in execution. That’s not saying it isn’t good. It is a great book. I mean it is truly entertaining. I just feel like it could be better. He uses a lower level of vocabulary and chops the book up into short pieces. It feels like he’s trying too hard to write for young adults rather than adults so it comes off like that uncle who knows nothing about kids trying to talk to you. It’s interesting, but flat because of what it lacks. It’s hard for me to describe. I could have easily read the book at 9-10, so I find it to be a bit too simple.

For a final book I’m going to talk about a book I haven’t read yet, but is very high on my list. The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict. This is a prequel to a series I loved. It isn't too hard of  read, but it is written for kids who feel a bit different, or a bit smarter than other kids. In middle school I loved these books, and I still do when rereading them. It’s about how sometimes being different is a good thing.

I think it’s important to read and that it matters. Literature is important people! May your life be as awesome as you are and DFTBA!
