Review: Want To Go Private? by Sarah Darer Littman
Hey guys! I've been gone for a while because I haven't had access to my computer, but now I'm back!!! :D So today I have a review of Want To Go Private? by Sarah Darer Littman. I'm also going to include a new thing in my reviews and change the layout a bit. I decided to include a theme song for every book I review. A song (or two) that represents the book.
Format: ARC
Publication Date: August 1, 2011
Abby and Luke chat online. They've never met. But they are going to. Soon.Abby is starting high school—it should be exciting, so why doesn't she care? Everyone tells her to "make an effort," but why can't she just be herself? Abby quickly feels like she's losing a grip on her once-happy life. The only thing she cares about anymore is talking to Luke, a guy she met online, who understands. It feels dangerous and yet good to chat with Luke—he is her secret, and she's his. Then Luke asks her to meet him, and she does. But Luke isn't who he says he is. When Abby goes missing, everyone is left to put together the pieces. If they don't, they'll never see Abby again.
This is a very powerful story that shows us the realistic view of things. Alot of books conjure up this perfect romance between two characters because it's what we love, to read about our perfect love story with the perfect guy or girl. But, sometimes we need to be brought down to reality (just for alittle while :D ). This book is about the dangers of teen chat rooms. We all think we would never do anything like meet a total stranger we met online, and that's what Abby thought, the main character of this very realistic story. This is a very emotional story and really made me watch what I say and do on the Internet. When Abby thought all was lost she had her friends to lean on, who supported her every step of the way. I really loved the end. It was really heartfelt and brave. Everyone should definitely read this book because it contains a very important message that everyone needs to hear. Be careful what you do any say on the Internet and stay away from chat rooms

Review: 20 Years Later by E.J. Newman
Hey guys! I have a review of 20 Years Later by E.J. Newman for you today! So, here's the synopsis:
LONDON, 2012: IT arrives and with that the world is changed into an unending graveyard littered with the bones, wreckage, and memories of a dead past, gone forever.
LONDON, 2032: Twenty years later, out of the ashes, a new world begins to rise, a place ruled by both loyalty and fear, and where the quest to be the first to regain lost knowledge is an ongoing battle for power. A place where laws are made and enforced by roving gangs-the Bloomsbury Boys, the Gardners, the Red Lady's Gang-who rule the streets and will do anything to protect their own.
THE FOUR: Zane, Titus, Erin, Eve. Living in this new world, they discover that they have abilities never before seen. And little do they know that as they search post-apocalyptic London for Titus' kidnapped sister that they'll uncover the secret of IT, and bring about a reckoning with the forces that almost destroyed all of humanity.
I really liked this book! There was pretty perfect balance of everyting. There was a nice balance of romance and action. The storyline was really great! I really liked the relationship between Zave and Erin although I really would have like it to blossom. For me, I was really surprised that there were more people living with them, I really thought it was a monster! I would've like Eve to be introduced early like Zane, Titus, and Erin. The relationship between Titus and his sister was really great! They had such a great bond you could just feel their closeness. I really liked the Zane's purity, it makes him who he is and makes him a really good character. I loved the end of this book and how everyting turned out. This is a great read and I can't wait till the second book :D
