EverFound Book Review (Fiction)

"EverFound", by Neal Shuterman, is the third and final book by him in the "Skinjacker Trilogy"and was a great finish to the series. I would only suggest reading this book if you have read the other two, "EverLost" and "EverWild" respectively, otherwise the reader may be a bit confused. The simplest way to explain this book is that there is a place in-between the Living world and the afterlife known as Everlost; this place is full of children that have died form the ages of 6-17.  The Basics of this "in-between world" are explained in detail in the first book. This book however is about a war between the Eastern witch, Mary Hightower, and three friends, Nick (AKA The Chocolate Ogre), Allie, and Mickey McGill. I don't want to reveal anymore, but i will say anyone who reads this and (and the other two in the trilogy) will enjoy themselves by doing so. I would recommend this book to a friend.

MAUS book review (Award winner)

Maus, by Art Spiegelman, is a fantastically put together graphic novel. This book is about the Holocaust, but is told in a much different manner compared to most Holocaust books. In this book the victims of the Nazi party are represented by mice and the Nazis themselves are represented as cats. The novel revolves around a father (mouse) telling his son, who wants to write a book, about his stories during the time of World War II. This story, even though it is told as a graphic novel, still has the same affect as reading a full fledged novel and keeps the readers attention the whole way through. I found that this book did a great job at showing the hardships of the war for everybody. I believe it also showed how poorly people were treated and really showed the reader how it was during this time. I plan on reading the second book and I would recommend this to a friend.
