What I'm Reading


Right now I'm reading "The Heroin Diaries, A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star" This book is about Nikki Sixx, the bassist/songwritter for the well known band, Motley Crue. This book tells you when, how, and why Nikki Sixx's life got turned up side down, when he went spiraling through his life on drugs, perticularly heroin. The book starts out by telling you about Nikki's life growing up. He tells you about when he was about 1 or 2 years old his father left him and his mother. And when his mother used to pone him off to his grandparents. He says that he basically lived with his grandparents his whole life. Once he was a teenager, he was really into the whole rebel rocker scene, and wanted to start a band of his own. He tells you about his adventures when he first got to hollywood, and Los Angles. It tells you what he did when he found a couple of guys to make a band with. And when they got there big shot at becoming famouse. He tells you about all of the good and the bad things that go on when your in a famouse rock band. But, most of the stuff you get into comes with being a rockstar, and most of it's no good. Nikki states that " Before the band, I only lived for music, now that it started, I only live for the drugs."

Left Behind

By: Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins

Left Behind is a book that is part of a series about the last days on Earth. The series starts out with the people who were "left behind" that didn't truly believe in God. Everyone who did believe in God were taken to Heaven and they left behind all of the things they were wearing and most of all some of them left behind family and friends. There are four main characters in the story, Bruce, Chloe, Buck, and Rayford. Bruce was one of the main men in his church that didn't truly believe in God so he was left behind and since he knew about what happened, he became the reverend of the church and started to tell people what happened. In the bible it says everything that is going to happen in the end times and people the four main characters of the book started to meet once a week to study the end times. Two of the things that happened in bible is the rapture came and took people who believe in God, away. The other prophecy that happens is a ruler will come and everyone will like him but he's really not a good man, and he is called the Anti-Christ. It goes on to tell about how people are dealing with everything that is happening. The next books in the series tells about what else happens in the end times and what other prophecies from the bible come true.

Brutal By: Kevin Weeks

Brutal is about the big time mobster Jim "whitey" Bulger, and his days being a mobster until he had to flee the country because of the FBI. This book goes into great detail about how he ran his crew, killed people, and took care of business. Through his years Whitey extorted millions of dollars, shook down pimps and drug dealers, and had dirty cops working for him. I recommend this book to everyone. On a scale one through five, I give it a five.
One good Punch

By: Rich Wallace
CORE Rating: 4.4 (Out of 5)

The protagonist is a 17 year old named Mike. He is accused of having marijuana in his locker. Mike's only a few weeks away from graduation and he's a star on the track team. He's also starting to become romantically involved with one of his best friends- the rising action in this book is great! I really liked the way that Wallace incorporated Scranton, PA, and Gerry McNamara into the story.
