       One of my favorite books that I've read is The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick.  This was an amazing book with very good writing that is not hard to understand and is pretty fast paced.  The author did a great job on making the book so visual and not only with writing but half of the book was in pictures and that made it very fun to read and see what he is imagining about the book and not just what the book looks like to yourself.  It was pretty cool to see this way of showing a story.
       This book main character of this book is Hugo.  Hugo lives alone secretly within a vent of a train station.  He is secretly doing his uncles job at the station which is making sure that the clocks are running correctly.  No one has figured out that his uncle had not been at the station and all of the clocks were run by Hugo.  Hugo has also found one of the things that his dad has been working on before he died in a fire and Hugo is trying to figure out what this robotic like person run by clocks does by putting trying to piece the whole thing together.  Over all I thought this book was great and was a very fun fast read and I'm reading more of the books written by Brian Selznick.

  Right now I'm in the middle of reading a book called Hunger
Games.  The authors name is Suzzane Collins and she rihts this book
very well and easy to understand.  The book is about one girl and one
boy from each district fighting till their death on live TV, this is
called the Hunger Games.  At first when I heard about this book I
wanted to read it but I didn't know if I should because I thought the
the story seemed kind of disgusting.
    The main characters name is Katiness.  She was one of the two
people that are going to be competing in the Hunger Games from her
district.  She is in district 12 and this is the poorest district of
all of them.  With her dad dead she is the one taking care of and
feeding her family by hunting for food and trading it.  So far I love
the book but it is a little bit slow and boring in the beginning
leading up to the games, but once I get to the games I think that I
will be reading it a lot faster and it will be more exciting.  I don't
know if this book is going to turn out that well because I find it
kind of weird that it is about killing other people, but I think that
it will turn out in a good way and I will really like the book when I
finish it and continue to read the other two books in this series.
