Kerri's Reviews

So cute! I loved the curious george movie that came out a couple of years ago;)

I'm reading Uglies by Scott Westerfield right now. It's about a society that has come to a place where when you turn 16 you must have plastic surgery to perfect yourself. It's the only way people can live together harmoniously, apparently Everyone in pretty town looks gorgeous and has fun every minute of their lives. They live in a "high-tech paradise." Of course, there are people who want to stay "ugly" and right now Shay has run away to The Smoke--just before her 16th birthday and the required operation. Tally must find her or she won't get to have her operation and join her best friend in Pretty Town.

It's a YA novel. I like to read them so I can make recommendations to my students.

The first line is, "The early summer sky was the color of cat vomit." I loved that probably b/c I have a cat. It did take me a couple of chapter to really get into it though. But now I am really enjoying it.

Mel's Reviews...

Latest reads: "Goodnight Moon" Review: Starts a little slow (that bunny has to say goodnight to EVERYTHING!!), but I love the ending!

"Curious George Gets a Job"
Review: That monkey is too damned cute and way too curious for his own good. Not sure I liked the part about him getting into the ether at the hospital as I think it may be promoting drug use among young people, lol!!!!

What can I say? I have a 3 year old!! Who has time to read (although I wish...)
