What I've Read This Summer

Right now I'm read Eldest which is a great fantasy novel. It is a complex story with characters that everyone can connect with. The story is consistent and dramatic and I think any age group or gender would love this series. I can't wait to finish this novel and read the third when it comes out in September.


This novel A Clockwork Novel is a great but horrific novel. Its interesting if you read the introduction before the novel. You get a good idea of the author's state of mind while writing the book and your learn about the differences between the American publishers and the British publishers. I would also recommend watching the American movie version of the novel. It follows the American publisher's ending and is said to leave a bit of content out of the ending. Its a in depth example of unbiased violence that is scary to think about.









Atlas Shrugged is written by Ayn Rand who is the best character developing author that I have ever run into. Although I haven't read an enormous amount of novels I really feel that Ayn Rand has the ability to create a character that is loved, hated, and adored by any kind of reader. I recommend this novel to anyone who has the persistence to finish.

Next on my list to read before school starts is Sold and A Thousand Splendid Suns. I will keep you up to date about how those novels turn out.
