Can love be defined by death?

          Im reading the book called, Roses Are Red. by James Patterson. This book is actually amazing! and here's why... It all started when Janee and Amanda were talking about it in school. They were having a great conversation and I wanted to read the book really badly.

          This book is about a Mastermind, or atleast that's what he calles himself, an bank robberies and killings.There is also a hint of love/hate relationships. I paid close attention to the detail put into the book and the author did a great job. I felt like the story was happpening right infront of me! It was so good! It had a lot of stories mixed in it and a lot of themes but they all came together in the end and I cant wait to read the next one.

          While reading this book I felt like I was one of the characters in the book. It was so amazing I barely even have any words to explain it! The characters felt so real to me and I wanted to be a detective with them and figure out all of the mysteries. I wish I was a character in that book! I cant get over how attatched I got to the characters. I felt like I knew them better than I knew my real friends. I was able to get into their lives and just see which kind of person each of them was. I was watching a TV show about bank robberies and the first thing that came to mind was the book! I just couldnt get my mind off of it!

          I recommend this book to people who like very mature, very involving mysteries! I loved this book so much! And I know you will too :)

my mentor posts!!

     Click here to see the post I picked from Zarrin's blog!!!!!!!!!

          I feel like this post shows a really good retell but not the whole thing is a retell. She really gets into detail about how she feels about this book. The things I might like to try like Zarrin did are... give a quick retell, put lots of big words, how i got introduced to the book, how i feel about certain characters in the book, how i feel about the certain decisions that the author made and more. This is only one of the great posts written by Zarrin, but this one really caught my eye because of the position it was written in, and how "attracttive" she made it look. I give props to her because of all the thought and effort she put into this post, and the feeling as well. Now I need to add these into my next posts!!!!

     Click here to see the post I picked from Keiame's blog!!!!!!!!!!!!

          This is absolutly my favorite postby Keiame! I love how in the beginning she gives astraight forward view of the book when she first picked it up, but then she gets into how her opinion changed! I also love how she connects characters together to show that one person would be attracted to someone with the same, but better, characteristics than the last. She also uses bigger words!!!! I need to do thatt!! Keiame puts a lot of thought and feeling into this post and I really enjoyed reading this. I also like how she didnt judge the book by its cover when she looked at the happy and sad face. :) :(

     Click here to see the post I picked from Janee's blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          This post is from two months ago but it really stood out as I was looking through Janee's posts. I love how she includes the amazing story of how she quietly took the book from her sister's room. It shows that she was already interested in the book before she began to read it. I got hooked into the post from the first line. I dont really include how I came upon the book but the next time I do, I'll be sure to put in as much detail, thought and feeling as Janee did. This post was so interesting and I will try to apply that to all of my posts from now on.

          These are my allstar mentor posts!! I hope you can get the same kide of influence as I did! :)
