Brutal




I just finished an other book. The title of the book is called Brutal and is written by Kevin Weeks. Kevin weeks is not only an author but once a mobster. That is what this book is about. The organized crime of James "Whitey" Bulger a big time mob boss. This book is action packed with Kevins life of him growing up and him getting older. It tells how he got interduced with the mob and how he became on of them. This book is seriously unbelieveable and I loved every mintue of reading it. The whole book goes so deep into detail about everything he talks about. And I mean really deep into detail and mostly about murders and other horrible crimes. I really like this book alot. If you like mobs and that kind of reading this is the right book for you, i couldnt put it down. I give this book 10 out of 10

Boot Camp


I just finished a book called Boot Camp by Todd Strasser. This book was amazing. I loved every minute of it. Im not a big reader but, spent 2 full Core Charter days reading the book straight that should really tell you something. This book is about a high schooler named Garrett. He is kiddnapped by a guy his parents hired to bring him to a place called Harmony Lake. This is a place for only "troubled teens". Garrett is very mad that his parents would ever do such a thing to him and he keeps wondering why they sent him here. Harmony Lake is pretty much a prison for teenagers. Everyone attending this "correction facility" has to speak to the camp directors as sir. If you do not they throw you in a concrete room and you have to lay face down on the floor as they beat you. Thats also how you sleep in that room. Its a hard time for Gerrett in the book. The only way he can graduate from this place is if he can live up to there standards of "matters". But he doesnt make there requiements and he can't stand to be there anymore. This book kept me on edge the whole time. And i just could not stop reading this book. I can really say it was one of my favorite books ever read. I say you read this book if you like surprising books. I give this book 10 out of 10

Generation Kill



Generation Kill is a 7-part miniseriers on HBO. This book is action packed and there is never a dull page. This book is all about the war after the September 11th attack. After the attack Bush sent in armed forces. This is about the Marines in the First Recon Battalion, there are the first generation of killers sent towards Iraq. All the men are suited up and ready to roll out when they get accompanied by a reporter named Evan Wright. All the men are so mad because they thought he was going to make them out to be "baby killers" in his writing. But when Evan tells them he wrote Hustler, the Marines really warmed up too him quickly. This book is also wrote by Evan Wright and everything that has happened in the squad he was assigned to "roll out" with. He writes his experiences in a little journal he has. He writes down all the towns he went through and the ambush they got setup in and ambush they carried out. Generation Kill has a great twist of things. Sometimes the chapters can be funny and make you laugh. Other chapters may bring tears to your eyes because of hearing how horrible war really is. An example, many times in the book he will be with Marines when they are holding roadblocks in town. The "gunny" (machine gunner on top of the humvee) he will fire one warning shot over they car, if the do not stop or turn around, the "gunny" has to shoot the driver no matter what or who is driving. It really tends to be a sad book but like i said it can be funny too. An example of a funny part in the book is that, once the reporter Evan, was trying to put on his gas suit but it was to small for him. When he tried getting it all the way on, it crushed his "area" and he fell to the ground screaming and everyone laughed at him. But one Marine felt bad and cut him out of the suit. You will really enjoy this book if you like war books or shooting and killing books. Generation Kill is more then filled with it. And it really opens your eyes to how truely brave our Marines really are.

Moon Called



I just finished the book called "Moon Called." It is about a girl who is friends with werewolfs and vampires, and she is also part werewolf herself. In the book, the main charactor is a girl called Mercy. Mercy has to find out who is trying to kill the secondary main charactor who's name is Adam. Adam is the Alpha male of a pack of werewolfs, and Mercy thinks that somebody that belongs to his pack is trying to kill him so they can be the Alpha. So, Mercy has to find out what is going on, and how to stop a plan that she doesn't even know who made. If you want to find out if Mercy finds out what is going on, and if she saves her clan, I would recomend reading this book.
