City of Glass
(Mortal Instruments #3)
By Cassandra Clare
**** Stars
This novel is an excellent ending to a great series. This novel kept me entertained from beginning to end. I was glued to the book from when I first opened it.
The way the story was written and how the plot unfolds keeps the reader guessing. Although the main character, Clary, could be rather annoying at times this did not ruin the book for me. The relationship between her and Jace was a little predictable at the end and I also figured out the ending before it happened but I still loved the book.
I would suggest this book for people to read.

Review by MaKayla Quinn
Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer
The Twilight series books were the most fantastic books I have ever read. They were so full of detail, plot twists, and action that I had to read each chapter at least twice before I could understand it! All of the characters were so detailed and full of emotion. It literally felt like the characters were there with me or like I was part of the story. The entire Twilight Series should be in every teenager's bookshelf. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I first picked up Twilight. After reading it I was dying to get New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Now after finishing Breaking Dawn last month, I can finally put my appreciation for Stephenie Meyer's magnificent creations into words. In my personal favorite authors, including J.K. Rowling, Darren Shan, Sue Monk Kidd, and Richard Bachmen, Stephenie Meyer is at the top of the list. The Twilight Series is now one of my top favorite book series next to Harry Potter. All in all, the Twilight Series gets 5 out of 5 stars from me. If they mess up the movie, I will go Volturi on Warner Bro. They shouldn't because the Harry Potter movies have been great so far.

3.5 Stars -- Review by Chance Norton
Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer
How many people have wished they were smarter? Or that maybe, just this once they could pull off a heist? Maybe have a butler that is more than just a butler?
In this third volume of Artemis’ adventures with the People (fairies of course), Artemis does all this and more with his friends. This book has everything a YA reader could want, plot twists, horrible bad guys, loveable good guys and not so loveable antiheros.
Artemis’ plan is of course to collect even more money in this novel and he sets out to get it by NOT selling his C-Cube, which is a futuristic part fairy portable technology. DVD player, VHS player, security slicer, MP3 player, ect. There is nothing this thing cannot do. And the man he wants to NOT sell this wonderful piece of technology for is a man named John Spiro, industry leader in the very things the C-Cube will take over. Needless to say he is not pleased by this revelation and sets out to make the C-Cube his… No matter what happens to Artemis and his friends.
I recommend this book for all fans of the series and everyone who likes a good weekend read with plenty of humor, plenty of action, and of course, fairies.
