Like No Other

Recently, I just finished reading Like No Other by Una LaMarche and this has been the best book that I have read so far. Reviews say that this book is similar to Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, but some parts of the book is not similar to Romeo and Juliet. This book would show readers that if you care about something deeply, then you would do anything, even if it means doing things that you had never done. This book is about a girl who comes from a very strict Hasidic family and a boy who is just like you or me living as an American. They both meet in an elevator in the middle of a hurricane in a hospital. They go on this adventure just to be able to talk to each other and make up lies just so they could see each other. But things go downhill because Devorah's Hasidic family find out about her secret boyfriend  Jaxon and how they made up lies so they could be with each other. If you like books about romance and a new version of a classic and loved play, I would recommend reading Like No Other by Una LaMarche.

Movie vs. Book: The Outsiders

With finishing the movie The Outsiders, there are som similar things between the book and the movie and things that were missing from the book that never appeared in the movie. Some things that happened in the movie that is similar to the book is that when Ponyboy and Jonny ran away to the abandoned church, Johnny got bread, balogney, deck of cards, peroxide, and a paper copy of Gone with the Wind to use while they were at the church hiding out from the police. Also, while Johnny and Ponyboy were being attacked by the Socs, Ponyboy was being drowned by them, except they didn't leave him completely in the water instead, the Socs pulled Ponyboy out of the water constantly and then let him drown in the fountain. Most things are similar in the book and the movie, but there are differences that we do notice. In the beginning of the movie, the movie stars off with Ponyboy starting on the prodject that was mentioned near the end instead of coming out of the movies as how the book started. Also, in the movie I noticed that Soda never mentioned Sandy at all when there are moments when Soda and Ponyboy are alone together. Even thought there might be moments gone from the book while making the movie, the movie was still great.

The Glass Sentence

Even though I haven't finished reading The Glass Sentence, I am loving this book so far. The Glass Sentence is about Sophia Tims who is living with her uncle Shadrack because Sophia's parents went on a mission, but they never returned home. While wondering in the streets of Boston, she meets Theo, a refugee from the West who is forced to be in a circus escapes and goes on an adventure  to find Shadrack who gets kidnapped by a group of people. Now it's up to Sophia and Theo to go find Sophia's uncle. I think that the message that this book might show in the future is that you need to be confident in yourself even if it means doing something dangerous for a worthy cause. I think that the character that might develop more as the story goes would have to be Sophia because she never left Boston and she now has to leave to a different part that she never knew and her feeling as a person are developing even more now that she met Theo. As a prediction on how the book might go s that Sophia might find her parents because she would usually somehow talk about where her parents were seen last until their dissaperance. I think people should read The Glass Sentence by S.E Grove because if you like an adventure in a different time period, then The Glass Sentence would be right for you.
