THE PACT

I was really unimpressed with this book. Not really much to say about it. Boring plot, confusing dialogue, no climax, not very well written. I do not recommend it.

A LONG WAY GONE- ISHMAEL BEAH

Ishmael beah lives in New York City. He was born in Sierra Leone, where, during his childhood, Civil war initiated. Before the War, Ishmael was a normal boy living a normal life filled with friends, music and sports. Ishmael and his friends manage to escape violence until they reach Yele, a government protected village. There, they are converted into drug addicts and killers. Eventually they are forced to go to rehabilitation. Later, Ishmael is deported to New york where he writes this story and suffers frequent memories and dreams of violence. The book was good, but because it was such emotion and events, it was much more interesting. Alos, I feel that the book had a good ending and meaningful plot. I enjoyed it very much.

FIGHT CLUB

Fight Club was an unexpectedly good book. Also, I thought it was interesting that Brad Pitt was in it, because I did not know that there was a movie. It was an interesting read. As mentioned earlier i was not anticipating a well written plot or surprising twists that had enraveled the book. The language and mood made the book increasingly interesting. The title I still believe is slightly irrelevant, however, it makes a little sense. If there's a sequal, I will read it. I highly recommend it, because it was probably the best book I read this year.
