The boook that I am reading is called that was then, this is now by S.E. Hinston.This book is a good book because the life of the characters can be reality to some peoplen in life.One thing that I like about this book was that the two main characters stay together no matter what. One dislike about this book is the title because the title makes it sound like the two main characters won't have that same relationship they did.

Al Capone Does My Shirts
Is acceptable, but not the type of book I would read.I Think the book so far is not that good. It has a lot of background information, and nothing exciting is really happening.
-Falastin Abukar
"that was then this was now", so far I really like the book. It's intersting and always holds my attention, but I feel like something sad is going to happen that's going to make me not want to read it anymore.

the book i am reading is Among the hidden it is about a parents not supposed to have many kids so the population of the police were looking for people that were in hiding.Thar was a boy name luke he was born when the law was made the mom thought it will go away so she put him in hiding.The part I like about the story is when Luke had to sit under the star so no one can see him and the part I hate is when he dont have friends,
by:yasinkulmiys :)
The book Among the hidden is a cool book.The things i dont like about the book is that Luke got to stay in the house all day and he cant even have no friends come over.The things i like about the book is that Luke dont have to go to school. BY;COREY BRYANT$$$$.
I am reading "Al Capone Does My SHIRTS" and so far i love my book there is not one thing I would change except for the violence part because there is hardly any in the story but besides the lack of violence everything eles is picture perfect.

Book Title: A Long Way from Chicago
Some things I like: The humor aspect of the stories plot and how each chapter is a new year (1934, 1935, etc.) unlike chapter 1....and so on.
I wonder: What will the end of the book look like because so far the story is just what happens every year to the children.
I dislike: How sometimes the events can become confusing.

The book I'm reading is The Rules Of Survival.This book to me is worth-while.I know people that go though things like this in their life.A child should not have to go threw the things they go threw in their life.They should be able to have fun for their teenage years.A mother should not act like they are still a teenager or in their mid 20's.They should take care of the kids they made; This book is very interesting
-Nashiclay Reid :) 05'30'12
My book is Among The Hidden and so far this book is becoming interesting as it has not shown to much excitement to me but as i read and discover more about Luke it makes me want to read more and more as i discover more about his life.
-Michael Manuel
The book I'm reading is that was then this is now and I think its both good and boring because it's about a boy growing some parts in the story can get me confused.
-Javiyun Mosley
Al Capone Does My Shirts
I like it so far, but it's a little bit boring. Not much is really happening, even though i'm about halfway through the book. But hopefully things will get interesting soon. :)
~Amina Brantley
This book I am reading is "Among the Hidden." I am enjoying it so far but I am really wondering whether the kid in the window of the other house that Luke saw was hidden away like him or not. If so, will Luke ever meet him or even see him again? Also, although I understand Luke's father wanting to be extra safe about not getting caught, I believe he is being a little too strict and mean to Luke.
~Sierra DeAngelo Period 3
Well the book I'm reading is "The Hurricane Song" and so far the book is good,probably in someways I can relate to the book because it's almost basically like reading my own life sooooooooo yeah.
-Cason Wagner :-p
The book i am reading is a Long Way from Chicago. The book is pretty good so far. The grandmother always has something funny u her sleeves and makes me wonder whats shes going to do next. I dint really like the first chapter it was confusing. It makes me wonder how their going to end the book.
Jazmine Cheek
The book I am reading is called The Rules of Survival. This book is very interesting because the mother is very lunatic and does things that almost kills her children and even her. One thing I like though, is that the book has some humor in it in very different situations. I do wonder if the mother gets taken away from her children at the end of the story and the kids get a happier life.
-Richie Llanos (squirrelboy)
Catch a Tiger By the Toe
My book so far is in a way boring. It dosen't have much action and is kind of boring. Some interesting things have happened so far though. The main characters (Jamie) father was exposed as a communist and many people in the book that she knows have been accused of being a communist even if they're not. Its becoming hard to trust anyone for Jamie and other people because at any given time you don't know if your going to be turned in as a communist, especially during the time in which Jamie grew up which was the ''Red Scare''. Over all my book is definitely not great but it has a lot of great history.
~Arianna Rose Maire Paradine
That was then and this is now is very interesting and keeps me guessing, but one thing i dislike is that not to many good things happen.
-yoan
The name of my book is called "Hurricane Song" and it is a very good book! The book is fiction but it's based on true events. It's about Hurricane Katrina and when it hit New Orleans. It was a tragic time for the people there. They pretty much lost everything they had and those who stayed behind had to live in the Superdome, which was crowded with thousands of people. This book is very interesting and sad at the same time. I would definetly recommed this book to others.
~ Kayla Turner
The book that i am reading is That was than, this is now by S.E. Hinston. This book is very interesting and fun to read because this book has characters that are realistic. The thing i don't like about this is that the book is based on violence. Overall i really like this book. I would recommend this book to my friends.
-Faizan Haseeb
My book is the Rules of Survival.Some things that I like about my book are that it is sort of like a mystery.Also I like my book because it seems like this is what people go through in their life.Some things that I dont like is that kids shouldn't have to see their parents go through these things, and the kids shouldn't have to go and search for there moms ex to get certain infornmation about her.
By:Nyla Robinson
The book im reading is called The Rules Of Survival. so far i think the book is really good and it teaches me a lesson about what people go through sometimes at a young age , its one of those books that gets interestin and everytime i read it , it makes me read

My Book About The Rules Of Survial IS Realistic Book Its Not Related To The Holicost. In My Book There IS This Girl named Emmy Who Like's This Boy Name Murdoch But What She Dosen't Know Is That Her Sister Callie Like's Him Too. I Like My Book Because It Seems interesting And It Relates To Us Kids Now Like Callie Was Writing Her Name And Murdoch Last Name Like How We Do Now.
The Rules Of Survial Awesome Book:)
By Dannielle Davis
The book I'm reading is "The Rules Of Survival". So far the book is really good. I like that it's interesting and it keeps you wondering what will happen next. One thing i dislike though is that the book is told back in time. so it kind of confuses you if what your reading is happening to them at the moment, or is it something that already happened to them. Overall I would recommend the book to someone trying to find an exciting book.
- Kiana Ferguson
The book that I am reading is called "The Rules of Survival." This book is extremely interesting, and quite a page turner. I like how much of a thriller it is, because you don't know what is going to happen next. It is not at all predictable, so it keeps you on edge. I also like that the book is very intriguing, yet still realistic. The mother in this book is abusive, and a bit crazy, and although this idea may be foreign to some people, it does happen. In fact, it is not all that rare.
~Sarah Bennett:)
The book I am reading is "Al Capone Does My Shirts". What I do not like about the book is that I find many of the characters annoying. What I like about the book is that it has an interesting story line. I wonder what type of mental disability Moose's sister has in the book.
Katrina Tillapaugh
the title of my book is Catch A Tiger By The Toe. In the book so far Jamie is afraid that her dad will get fired and they might get killed. One thing i like about the book is that Jamie is a lot like me and one thing i dislike is that the book isn't as interesting as i thought it was gonna be.
~Beatriz Rodriquez~
The book i am reading is A Long Way From Chicago. So far the book is good. Its about two children going to visit their grandmother and she is funny, and crazy. They did a lot of things on their vacation so far like stole a boat and tried to escape. They went to an old lady's house and she was talking to the grandmother any kind of way. My book is good and funny so far, [it reminds me a lot of my grandmother].

The book Im reading is Hurricane Song. this book really makes me think what would i do if there was Hurricane in Syracuse and i had to be stuck in a stadium with my mother all week long.
-Jimmeshia Ware :D
The book I am reading is "Hurricane Song"
I like this book because Miles is just trying to fight for his dad's love and REAL attention for who he is, all the while overcoming obstacles like the gangs and the shooting.
I don't like all of the cuss words in the book.
~Jahmakah- Lynn Seals =D

boring
The book iam reading is AlCapone Does My Shirt and so far the book hasn't reached its climax to me and I kind of like it but i hope it gets a little interesting soon.
~Abshiro Abubeker.
Catch a tiger by the toe . I hate my book, it is very boring and redundant. All it talks about is the Red Scare and I learned about it in social studies
- marissa Barnett
I am reading Hurricane Song. It is a very well written, interesting book. I like it a lot. I do wonder what happense to the gangs though. Do they take over? Or does the hurricane end first? I also wonder if anyone important ends up dying.
~Xavier Boyer
Am reading the wish giver.This book is really interesting and fun to read.I dont like the scripture of the book.

The book is known as "Rules of Survival." It's a great and interesting book because it seems so realistic. The fact that Nikki is so insane adds a thrilling and intense feeling to it. None of the things she does are unrealistic either. I really lovr how not a single person in this book is perfect, but some of them better themselves.
the book i am reading is long way form Chicago.this book is really interesting and fun to read.what i like most about this book is that their grandmother is wild and crazy she have a shot gun and weapons.what i dislike about this book is that the reading pages is too long about like 20 or 16 pages long.it is really a good book to read and share it with your friends.

The book in which I have read for the literature circle project was called "A Long Way from Chicago." Although it may have been a good read for someone who enjoyed or did for care about the formatting of the story, I for was was quite displeased. I do not care for collections of literary works, unless each one has connections or references to the others. The stories were somewhat amusing though held little engagement. I didn't care for these characters, nor did I feel a strong connection towards one.Not to say they were all absolutely dreadful, It's just none of them really stood out to me personally. There is nothing left to wonder about this book as I have already completed it and I hold no further interest in it other than to review the nessicarities for the project.
-Katie Willard
The book i am currently reading is called "Al Capone Does My Shirts". The book is very interesting because of all the different types of characters that appear throughout the story.
-Johnny Duong
The book i'm reading is Among The Hidden.It's about a family who can only have two son but they have three.The main character is the third son who's name is luke.He have to hide and stay in the attic and can't go anywhere outside.He can't look out the window and can't eat dinner in the dining room with his family.The book is very good so far and I think is going to get interasting.

The title of my book is "Hurricane Song". One thing I like about this book is that plenty of events happen so the book never gets boring but something I don't like about it is that some people completely insane and the book can get a little random.
