Where do I start with this AMAZING novel. So 'Tempest' is about a young man named Jackson Meyer. He is attending New York University at 19 years old. After finding out from experience that he has the ability to time travel, he takes on a challenge that will change his life forever. After watching his girlfriend, Holly, die before his eyes, he is taken back to 2007. Two years ago, since it takes place in 2009. He is stuck there for quite some time. There, he finds Holly, his friend Adam, and his Father. Everything pieces together. A small jump in time leads to a LONG search for answers. My friend introduced me to this book. I am greatful she did or otherwise I would not have had the privelage to read it. As you already know, I am a phsycopath with many opinions that are stongly exaggurated, however, when it came to this book, (you can ask my friends) I went LITERALLY INSANE! It is a trilogy and the next book, called 'Vortex', will be released on January 15th of 2013. So basically, if you are into science fiction, romance, and following a 19 year old boy's thoughts about life itself, then you will be sure to enjoy 'Tempest'. (WARNING: There is mild cursing throughout the book just in case that bothers you.)

What started off as a small idea for a book, has blossomed into something entirely bigger. The popular novel known as 'The Hunger Games' has swept the minds of thousands of teens over the past year. Am I being too serious. Yeah, I am. Let's make this a fun book review! Okay... right! So 'The Hunger Games' (if you don't already know) takes place at some point in North America's future. North America is now called 'Panem' (did you know 'Panem' means bread in latin???). There are 12 districts where the united states once stood. Katniss Everdean (the main character) lives in the 12th district. District 12 is an outline district meaning it is known as a poorer district. Katniss is forced to fend for herself and her family consisting of her Mother and her Sister Primrose. Each year the Capitol has a celebration called 'The Hunger Games'. A boy and a girl are selected from each district and basically trained for a week and thrown into an arena to fight eachother to the death. In the story we follow Katniss's journey through the hardiships of the games and possibly finding something hidden inside her that she had never seen before. If you are into adventurous novels that keep you guessing at the turn of events, then 'The Hunger Games' is the best book for you! Once i started reading it, I literaly COULD NOT stop! I stayed up half the night reading and reading and reading! That just shows you how insane I am. BUT SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! Read this book!!! |
