Empire Star:
I was a bit confused while reading this book. I didn't totally understand what actually the characters were and why they were fighting in the begging or why he had to send a message to Empire star. I just didn't understand this reading. i tried rereading it to see what was going on and everytime i reread it i was more confused then the last time i read it.

Babel 17:
I'll have to be honest i read the first 2 pages and had to stop. My brother and uncle are in the Marines, my uncle just got back from Afghanistan and my brother is leaving in 2 days to go Afghanistan. Reading the first 2 pages of Babel 17 put some bad images in mind of my brother and uncle. I've had many family members past and i haven't fully recovered from their deaths. Since the main character is a General it was just creepy how way too many bad thoughts flew into my head about my brother going to Afghanistan. It gives me chills.

Oryx and Crake:
I love books that make you re-think and have a mysterious plot to them. This book really made you re-think. It seems as though every step we take could led this fantasy to become reality. The book was interesting but strange all at the same time. I was confused in some parts when the book referenced the bible and Frankenstein, even though some things were confusing the book over all was a fun book to read.

Lilith's Brood:
This was a very interesting book. I could feel the fear the main character. I would ask a lot of questions of where I was if I got captured too. I would be very scared. She handled it a lot better then I would have. I thought she was very smart not to ignore them like they ignored her. I thought it was really neat how when she woke up from her nap food would appear. Although I'm not to sure if I would eat it just in case the captors poisoned it or something. you never know what could happen.

Anansi Boys:
Anansi Boys was a very good book. I enjoyed reading it. Although I've never lost a mom or dad I have lost aunts, uncles, grandparents, and animals. I knew how the main character felt. The only thing I didnt know how the main character felt was the relationship he had with his dad. I'd be so lost with out my dad, I'm daddy's little girl and couldn't ever imagine it any other way. I felt really sad that he had to find out so much about his dad after his dad had died. I think I would be shocked too if I found out my dad was a God after he died or that I had a brother that I never knew of. I was glad that the main character had a loving fiance that was there for him and was very understanding. That's a lot of shocking news when you first marry someone. After all you do find out who your true friends are after finding out a lot you never knew before.
