Raven's Gate

The book I read this week was Raven's Gate and it was written by Anthony Horowitz. It is the first in a series called the gatekeepers. Matt gets blamed for breaking a law that he didn't really break. He was convicted and was given two choices. He could either go serve time in a jail cell or he could live with an old lady named Mrs. Deverill. Mrs. Deverill lives in a town in the middle of nowhere called Lesser Malling. He chose Lesser Malling, I would have chosen jail because he finds alot of surprises living with Mrs. Deverill. An evil plan is about to be initiated in the town. Matt gets put into the middle of the plan too and he just got there. All the people who try to help him dissapear and some even die. Matt is thrown into this mystery that all has to do with Raven's Gate. Raven's Gate is an evil place that is linked with Matt's future. Matt is the only one who can stop the ancient plot that is about to begin. That is how far i got into the book. It is a good science fiction book from what i've read. It is filled with suspense. I didn't see it coming. It sort of reminded me of the book Holes. Stanley Yelnats gets convicted of robbery, even though he didn't. He gets two choices too, jail or go to camp greenlake. He chooses the camp but in the end that turns out to be a good choice unlike for Matt.

Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer (Finally finished it)

I finally finished the amazing book "Eclipse". It was awesome. Stephanie did it again! The beginning didn't seem as slow as the other two books. It was still slow and i read like two-hundred pages in two weeks and the last 300 or so in four days. I lost alot of sleep reading it and now that its done, I don't know what to do with my extra time. Yes i know how dorky that just sounded.
This book had more action than the first two. Stephanie described the fights, unlike in the other two when she skipped over them. The Cullens find out that Victoria is behind the vampire attacks in Seattle. They figure out that she is raising a newborn vampire army. She has nineteen newborns and there are enough Cullens to fight without a couple of them dying in the fight. Bella tells Jacob and the werewolves about it and they decide to form a truths with the Cullens and battle together. They plan for the attack, using Alice's ability to see into the future. Bella makes Edward stay away from the battle with her. While the newborns are battling with everyone else, Victoira finds Edward and Bella. Victoria brings along another newborn who is more matured than the others. Victoria planned on using the newborn as a distraction so she could get Bella. Seth, a werewolf, stayed behind too and he came to help Edward fight. Together Edward and Seth win but they find out Jacob got hurt in the battle. He heals almost all the way but Bella tells Jacob that they can't even be frineds anymore. Edward and Bella get engaged and have Alice plan the wedding. That's where the book ends and i need to borrow the fourth one from my friend NOW!

Eclipse part 2

Now that I finished "The Last Time I Wore a Dress", I can continue reading "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer. So far, all of her books seem to have some kind of amazing thing to them. Something that makes you fall in love with them. I haven't found that part in "Eclipse" yet, but I'm sure it will come soon.
Jacob, the werewolf and Edward, a vampire both are in love with Bella. It doesn't help either that werewolf's and vampire's are worst enemy's. Edward wouldn't even let Bella go visit Jacob. One time when Edward had to leave to go hunting, Bella went to visit Jacob. Edward found out and was very angry. He came back from his trip early to make sure Bella was OK. He had to leave after checking up on her, but he made her spend the weekend with his sister. When Bella was at school, Jacob came on a motorcycle and had Bella skip school with him. Jacob said something to Bella that got her really mad at him. She left and when Edward came back he became more understanding of Bella visiting Jacob. That part made me laugh, because when Edward is finally OK with Jacob, Bella doesn't want to see him. Once Edward comes to Bella's he smells a vampire had been there. He said the scent isn't familair so it can't be Victoria. This is were i fell asleep reading at. What a cliffhanger.
Check the series out. I promise you wont' be dissapointed. Start with the first one, "Twilight", then the second, "New Moon", third "Eclipse" and the fourth one "Breaking Dawn".

The last time i wore a dress part 2

I've read some more of this amazing book. I'm almost done. To answer your question, yes it is based on someones life and the person is Daphne Scholinski. That is the girl's name but she changed most of the other people's names to like protect them i guess. It doesn't say why she changed the names that was just my guess.
Basically what happens is the mental institute she is at says that she is too insane and they can't help her. They send her to a new mental institute and they interview her to try and see what is wrong with her. She fakes having alcohol and drug issues. They put her in group with recovering addicts. She tells them she doesn't have a drug problem but they all say she is in denial. After pretty much failing that group she gets moved to a different part of the hospital, for being a possible lesbian. Stupid right, i know. Just cause she likes girls instead of guys she is labeled crazy. She starts to make friends in this part of the mental institute because they don't all consider her a liar. She was mad at the doctors for discovering that she was a lesbian but happy that they moved her. She hated the recovering addicts area.
That is where that I've stopped reading. If you want to borrow the book, sorry don't ask me I'm borrowing it from a friend. Maybe the library has it and if not the book isn't expensive. If you can't find it anywhere ask me and i might be able to get it too you. You need to read this book.

Memoir summary

I am reading the book, The Last Time I Wore A Dress. It is am memoir based from the life of Daphne Scholinski. At first i thought memoirs and autobiography's were boring. Then i starting reading this book and i thought yep, boring. Then i got past the sixth page and things started to get interesting. Now i can barely put the book down to write this.
The first couple of pages, the boring ones, where the ones that made me think the book was for girls. It was about make-up, dresses and all of that girly stuff. Then it stopped with the make-up and started with her life and her challenges.
She grew up without her parents caring about her. Her dad was busy and ashamed of her. Her mom just wanted her gone. When her mom got the chance she sent Daphne to a mental institution. Her mom's excuse was that she dressed too much like a guy and she had gender confusion. I thought that was really stupid; people can wear whatever they want and shouldn't be considered crazy.
One time she went to the store with her dad adn she went to the bathroom. She went into the girls one and as she left, one of the clerks brought her back up to her dad. The clerk thought she was a guy and the dad told the clerk, that she was a girl. Then she went back to the bathroom and a different clerk grabbed her. This clerk brought her to her dad. Instead of telling the clerk she was a girl, the dad pretended she was a guy and slapped her wrist.
The book is good and i recommend it for anyone who likes a good book. It makes you feel bad for her. She did nothing wrong and she got treated badly. It really makes you think about if treating them like that really helps them. Good book, READ IT.
