11/13/11 The Book: I am number 4 by Pittacus Lore HarperCollins Publishers I had no prior knowledge of this author or topic Genre: Science Fiction _ _ The main location of this story is Paradise, Ohio, U.S.A. Supported by the text, "A few minutes later we see scattered lights that announce the town. We pass a sign that reads: WELCOME TO PARADISE OHIO"pg 18 _ _ The time period for this book is the 21//st// century one proof of this is found on page 200 beginning at, "Henri wakes" and going on to, "where he's going." _ _ A well rounded character is the main character #4 or John Smith. One of his traits is being brave, "then I lunge forward and sweep across the yard and burst into the house. I am swallowed by the inferno," pg 312. Another trait is that he is prideful, "Manure in my locker was one thing, but you have gone way too far with this one." pg 157. _ In contrast an exceedingly flat character was one of the Nameless Reporters. I can not tell you anything about the man except that he was a large man... He was VERY flat. "just then a man walks out of the front door. He is huge, at least six feet six, two hundred fifty pounds."pg 228 _ _ The message I believe the author meant to send with this story is that other life is out there in the universe and that we are not alone. Proof is on the inside page, the first page which is unnumbered, "Other civilizations do exist" _ _ I enjoyed the book __I am #4__ very much and found ti tp be a highly entertaining, interesting, and enthralling read. My personal preference would not have had the book written in first person as it is left most every sentence with an 'I' in it. However the fast paced story line supplemented and covered this hole well enough. All in all, this book was definitely worth reading. _ _  Important portions of the plot, and forgive the partial quotes and crypticness as I did not wish to spoil the book, are: _ "There are" to "I am next."pg9, he never would have left Florida. _ "a dog" to "on his own" pgs 26 & 27, Chimaera sighting 1 _ "I get to" to "I want to hear" pgs 38 & 39, 1st Legacy _ "I take a deep" on page 224 to "without them seeing us." pg 254, Mog strike 1 _ "I can hear Sarah" to "on top of me." pgs 312-315, the begining of a discovery trail _ Chapter 31(pg 384) to "And Sarah holds me." pg 425 A win and a Loss _ "Bernie Kosasr lifts" to "Where ever that might be." pg 440, The end of this story, the begining of a tale ########################################################################################### 12/1/11 Book: The Fairy's Return and Other Princess Tales (The Princess Test) Written by Gail Carson Levine Publisher: HarperCollinsPublishers Genre: Fantasy Prior Knowledge: I love Gail Carson Levine's novels and her book of short storys was a wonderful gift from my mother _ Setting: The Kingdom of Biddle "Once upon a time, in the village of Snettering-on-Snoakes in the Kingdom of Biddle,"pg 61 _ Time Period: Fictional Past "Kingdom"pg 61, this suggests the renisance era _ _ A round Character is the main character Lorelei She is delicate and easily sick, "Lorelei started being sick and having accidents." pg62 She is fairly pretty,"She looked pretty in the distance. As he got closer, she was still pretty. Not a raving beauty, but definetly pretty"pg 71 She is caring,**"**Lorelei climbed down from the tree and stumbled on. "Achoo!" Hang on, Trudy, she thought. Hang on. I'm coming.**"** _ A Flat character might be the mule Leonard that Lorelei's family owned... _ _ I beleive this book was written for entertainment. The stories within it are changed and turned classic follk tales Like Cinderella or The princess and The Pea.

I LOVE these books dearly and greatly appreciate the work put into them. Occasionally there are grammar errors or made up words but due to the fact that it is more of a children's book it matters little in the grand scream.
