Book Review

       When I was little, my favorite series of books were the Junie B. Jones books. I believe I was in second grade when I was first introduced to these books. My teacher, Mrs. Weurful, (one of my favorite teachers growing up), read a few of these books to our class. We all fell in love with them. I can also remember her reading us Ramona books as well. I liked those too, but the Junie B. Jones books were always my favorite. Any of the books that she didn't read to us in class I would check out at the library and read on my own. I remember for my next birthday, I got the book Junie B. Jones Is (almost) a Flower Girl. I was so excited to get my own Junie B. Jones book!

     
            As I got older and involved with more school activities, I found myself reading less and less, which was a shame. But the next time that I really got involved in a book series was the summer before my sophomore year. That was the summer that I discovered Twilight. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Twilight, how dumb. Everyone makes such a big deal about that series." Well, that may be true now, but when I first discovered this book was a few months before the movie was to be out. The previews weren't even being played in theaters yet. In other words, I didn't know there was going to be a movie. I think this is the most excited I have ever been to read a book. I find it really sad how all the hype from the movies not only ruined this for me, and for most of my friends. But putting all of that aside, I still believe that the series is really good; the first one is my favorite. 309
