Radiance

The Bookworm says...maybe. Radiance by Alyson Noël was an okay book. It is the first book in the spinoff series from "Immortal Series" also by Alyson Noël-Evermore is number one in "The Immortals". Riley and Buttercup area cross the bridge, and are starting school There. Riley gets her assignment as Soul Catcher. Her job will be to travel back to earth, and encourage lost souls, like ghosts, to cross the bridge. Her first soul she is assigned is Radiant Boy. There have been many other Soul Catchers that had failed with Radiant Boy. Will Riley succeed. She also must go along with her guide, Bodhi, to watch his mission. Once they both are complete, she is promised a trip to London, and a flying lesson. Will she make it to her lesson? Radiance is the first of a series, and you MUST read the "Immortal" series first. This book was very interesting, and exciting to read. I do not think I will finish the series, because it didn't quite hook me.

Looking For Alaska

The Bookworm says...YES. Looking For Alaska by John Green was fantastic. Just hearing John Greens name should make you go out and buy it. Miles is a nerd, loser, outcast, etc. He decides to restart his life at a boarding high school called Culver Creek. He gets there and meets his roommate Chip, aka The Colonel. The Colonel introduces Miles (who was immediately nicknamed Pudge) to Alaska Young and Takumi Hikohito. They all become best friends. They pull many excellent pranks on The Weekday Warriors- the snobby rich kids that go home on the weekend- and on The Eagle(the principal). After a long night of truth or dare, and hopeless drunk ness, Alaska gets a call. During it she starts to cry and scream. She runs to her car, and has Pudge and The Colonel make a distraction. She leaves and.... Well I'm not going to give away the surprise. This book was by all means wonderful, and seeing as you are still reading this, there is no way you could be buying the book. So stop reading this and go!!
