The Killer in Me Book Review

The Killer in Me Book Review
By: Caleb Cantrell
           
The book “The Killer in Me,” was a Survival Fiction book written by, Margot Harrison, in 2016. The book is about a girl named Nina. Nina was adopted by a lesbian mother when she was 10 months old. Ever since she turned seven she could see through the eyes of a boy once she falls asleep. At first these “dreams,” were normal until once the boy tries to kill himself. As years past Nina makes a new friend named Warren in middle school. Warren lives with a military like family whose brothers always get in jail. Nina kept getting these strange “dreams,” then the man who she been seeing these “dreams,” actually killed someone. She was so freaked out she couldn’t trust people for a while, not even her best friend, Warren. A few years later the killings get worse so she tries to avoid falling asleep at night, but then she came to the conclusion that she can try to stop him. Nina and Warren, who haven’t talked in years, but she the only person she can trust at the time, head to the potential crime scene. When they get there, Nina realizes that they are too late and tells Warren what is going on. Warren tries to get her to stop looking for this potential killer Nina keeps talking about. Nina then comes up with a plan to find the killer stop him once and for all. They were going to try and find one of the bodies he disposed of, or kill him as a last resort.
So far this book was suspenseful at some point, and a real page turner. It may not have a lot of action in the book, but it makes up for it in drama and suspense. This book also lets you see the perspectives of Nina and Warren, and gives you a glimpse of how terrible their lives were. The book also has plot twists and will make you want to keep reading. This book is really good for people who like survival fiction in a modern day society. The book also has some funny references to other books, movies, and TV shows. I do recommend this book to others who like reading.

172 Hours on the Moon Book Review

172 Hours on the Moon Book Review
By: Anthony Azzi
 
            The book I read is called, “172 Hours on the Moon” is by Johan Harstad. This book is a science fiction book about space. This book takes place a couple years in the future in 2019. The setting started in 3 different countries in the world then transferred to Houston, TX. After that most of the book took place in space. The 3 main characters are Mia Nomeland, a girl from Norway, Midori Yoshida, a girl from Japan, and Antoine Devereux, a boy from France. NASA was choosing 3 teenagers for a space mission and these were the 3 teens that were chosen. The book starts off with NASA discussing a new plan to get them popular again. They ended up agreeing on holding a huge lottery to send 3 teens from the ages 14 to 18. They held a huge lottery and ended up drawing Mia, Antoine, and Midori. Mia’s parents signed her up even though she hated the idea. Antoine wanted to leave Earth because of depression, and Midori just wanted to be able to move to New York. They go through 3 months of training. Then on June, the day finally came. They took off with their parents watching them. The shuttle was full of the 3 teens and a crew of 5 veteran astronauts. Their mission was to stay on the moon in a dome for 172. When they first went to space the teens were so astonished and extremely nervous.
            So far this book is really interesting in my opinion. The story starts of really well in introducing the teens and the plan NASA has. This book flows well and has an amazing storyline. It goes through what they have to do, their problems, and their actions. I like how it shows the different teens prospective and what they think about the project. I only have a couple problems with this book. The first one is that it can get really boring at times. The second one is that the book doesn’t talk about Antoine that much. Other than does two reasons I really like this book. I recommend this book to people that enjoy science fiction and also people that like space books and suspense. I give this book a 3.5 stars out of 5. In my opinion this book was fun to read but it gets boring sometimes.
