Lightning Thief

     A book that I started to read but never got around to finish is Lightning Thief.  It is not a difficult book to read, but at the time that I was reading it, it was hard for me because I hadn't read much.  I thought it was a really good book and at first I was not into it and a little while later I decided to try again and see if I liked it.  I loved it and there were some ups and downs, some slow and some fast paced parts.  I do not remember it well and if I started to read it again I would really like it.  The last part I remember was with about 150 pages left I was deep into the book but there was no climax or high point of the story yet.  I remember I was at the part where they were in a waterpark or something by an empty pool.
     Overall I thought that it was a good read for me to start up on and if I ever get around to finishing it or restarting it I think that I will enjoy it.

Strap Bar

Strap Bar is a book taht I have started recently written by a mom of a gymnast. The book is written in the gymnast's perspective and what they think. The plot of the book is based off of a bunch of short stories that have happened to these gymnastics. The book is about how they overcame fears, were able to deal with a really mean coach who just so happens to be a mulitple olympic gold medalist and just the normal parts in general about gymnastics that are hard to understand on the outside world. These kids have had injuries and even with them the coach is pushing them to sip levels and to go for the gold. Even when they have bad competetions the coach gets meaner and meaner depending on how bad that they did. I have just started the book but so far I loke it and I think that it could be interesting to see what I can get ou of this book.
