In my last blog on reading, I talked about a book called Uglies, which really got me into reading. Uglies though, isn’t the first and last book of the story. The books that follow are Pretties, Specials, and Extras. Each book I read got better and better, and better! When I read Uglies, I wasn’t a very fast reader. It took me months to finish the book. After reading Uglies, I wanted to start the next book right away. I got Pretties as soon as I could, and I read it during Christmas break. I didn’t read very quickly, it took me the whole month to finish the book. After coming back from Christmas break, I was really starting to like reading. I got Specials a couple of days after school started and finished reading it in two weeks. I was very proud of myself for finishing the book so quickly. To most people, two weeks is a long time to finish a book, but since I wasn’t a strong reader, I thought it wasn’t a long length of time. The last book of the story, Extras, I finished in one week. That was the point when I said to myself “I really like reading, and I don’t consider myself a ‘nerd’ because I finished reading Extras so fast.” Well, maybe to many people, one week is still a long time for reading a book, but to me it is pretty fast. The main reasons as I mentioned in my previous blog, why I liked these books so much, was because the author did a very good job in describing every event that happened. He put in so much detail that I always had an image in my head of what was going on. I always lost track of time, because the book pulled me so deep into its world. I really recommend these books to anybody who wants to read lots of suspense, drama, and an enjoyable book.
