Take Me There Susane Colasanti


In Take Me There, it tells the story of three highschool best friends story of their 11th grade year. The book is divided into two parts which I thought was interesting becuase each has three sections of each of James, Rhiannon, and Nicoles perspectives. I think by having that set up, it gives the reader a better insight into each of the characters minds. I thought Colasanti did a good job narrarating the mind of an average teen by using realistic dialect and inner thinkings. Sometimes when you read realistic fiction its hard to imagine real people actually saying the things that the author writes.

Continuation: Sabriel

Since i just finished "Where Are the Children", I started back up with Sabriel. if suggest this book to anyone whoes willing to learn a new language. Since its fantacy, the whole world is filled with creatures and objects that are used for, magical purposes. I often have to reread something or go back and figure out how two things are connected, but I really like the story line. For example Sabriel, the main character, is a necromancer. She has the power to bring back the dead. Seems simple enough, until you have to understand the 9 circles of death and the spells and symbols that magical people can posess to go in and out of the circles.
