Prey by Michael Crichton


4.5/5
This book addresses a social issue of technology overpowering humans. In this book micro-robots are created and have become a species of their own. Slowly, they target a prey: humans. This fast-paced novel is impossible to put down. This would be recommended to anyone because of the author's captivating and narrative style.

Unlikely Romance of Kate Bjorkman by Louise Plummer


5/5
I love teen romance novels, so I read everyone I can get my hands on. When I read "The Unlikely Romance..." I thought it would be just another good romance like the rest, but I could really relate to the main character. She was tall and awkward and in love with her brother's best friend. The best part about this book is that Kate herself was writing it. She has revision notes and uses the "Romance Writer's Phrase Book." The book is a must read for teen girls.
