Zelah Green Who says I'm a freak?

Zelah Green is a cleanaholic. Her mother died when she was 9 and her father dissappered a few weeks ago. So now Zelahs stuck with her stepmother, who dispieses her and can't handel her little 'problem'. Therefore, Zelahs stepmother sends Zelah to a home for troubled teenagers and at first, Zelah thinks it sucks. She misses her best friend, Fran, and she misses her dad. However, after 2 weeks, Zelah starts to realize that everything isn't what she thought it was and that her illness is not part of her; that she could actually get rid of it. But is that what she wants? And where is dad?

I enjoyed reading this book because it's different from anything that I've ever read before. The story is interesting and it captures my attention as secrets unfold and truths are reveiled. However, the ending wasn't very good, as it ended with questions unanswered and it made me wonder what would happen to Zelah. I found this fustrating as I wanted to know what happened next.

Airhead - Meg Cabot

This is one of the strangest book I've ever read. Although i did enjoy reading it, this book talks about a girl who had her a 'brain transplant' and then turned into somebody else. It was very interesting to read because I've never read a type of book that is similar to this one. Before I've read this book I think it would just talk about a girl having trouble with her life and tries to resolve her problem, but this story is completely different from what I would be expecting.

More details about the story: This girl called Em Watts, one day she got hit by a plasma TV at this opening event and then a month later she found herself awake in another person's body. She freaked out. So, she is trying to find out what happen while she was unconscious. Throughout the book it'll show you bizarre things that you won't be expecting.

Although I enjoy most of this books, some chapters of the book drags out for too long so it gets boring sometimes but most of it is fairly good and well-written. If you're looking for a novel that is extraordinary I think you should read this one.

Blue Bloods - Melissa de la Cruz - 336 pages.

this book is about vampires. it's interesting because throughout the book they have only mentioned the word 'vampire's 3 times! (not including the blurb) i counted. it's actually because they use the word 'blue blood' instead of 'vampire' which i think is more effective because it is like a new species that i am keen to find out about. when you hear the word vampire the thought people usually think first is Twilight or Bloodsucker. i also personally like the book because the vampires that they mention and describe are different, and i like it more.

in this book, the vampires have blue blood instead of red and their blood have a mind of it's own and usually start to show and come out when you are 15, so it doesn't show at birth. it creates an incarnate pattern on the surface of our skin, usually on the hands. also here, the vampires are reborn. they are immortal,yes, but they have cycles. their human physical shell dies like a normal person, but their soul, in which this case is their blood is kept and (i dont know how) kept for the next cycle. there are vampires that choose to keep their physical shell forever.

the history of how they became a vampire is that they fell from heaven and are forced to live on earth forever as a vampire or 'vam-py-re'.

the story sets in Manhattan, New york. Schuyler Van Alen has never fit in to the exclusive school she goes to. her father died when she was young and her mother has been stuck in a coma shortly after giving birth to her until now, so she has no choice but to live with her grandma in their family mansion. the Van Alen used to be one of the most powerful family in New York. now there are only her and her grandma left...

Schuyler finds out she is a blue blood. they are known to be the city's most powerful and immortal people, like the major and senator. but they're being murdered. and now she is determined to find who is behind it and how she's going to defeat it before it kills more.
