All My Rage, by Sabaa Tahir

 

The book All My Rage, by Sabaa Tahiris a young adult fiction book that is a really good and fun book to read. The book starts off by high school seniors who are Salahudin Malik and another one called Noor Riaz. Both of these two have been very good friends with each other since they were six years old when the friend called Noor came to the United States from Pakistan. The book from there gets a lot more interesting and a lot deeper from there on.

For me I really loved this book called All my Rage by Sabaa Tahir. I really recommend this book for a lot of people so they can enjoy the book like I did. The book is really interesting and it has a really interesting book to read. The reason I am recommending this book is because of a few reason. One of the reasons would be that the books is a really creative and a fun book to read. Another reason for me recommending this book to a lot of people would be because it was written very well, and from this, my vocabulary expanded a lot. Once again, I really would recommend this book to a lot of people because it was genuinely a really good book.

Monster Volume 3, by Naoki Urasawa


 Doctor Tenma investigates a murder that happened that he believes could be connected to Johan. He goes to the crime scene to investigate and, with the help of the robber, ultimately finds the killer. He is made out to be connected to Johan, but he kills himself before he can find out more information. Later on, he goes to investigate the orphanage that Johan grew up in, and the shocking discoveries he made lead to more questions about Johan's origin.

There were a lot of likable characters introduced in Monster Volume 3, by Naoki Urasawa, although they were introduced and gone so quickly. I like how this volume builds the mystery around Johan and his past because through his research doctor Tenma finds that more questions about Johan have been brought up, specifically around where he came from and why he became so psychotic in his early years. A consistent element of these books that I continue to find encapsulating is the small twists that there are. i enjoyed this volume a lot, however, I think it was slightly weaker in comparison to the previous two.

One Percent of You, by Michelle Gross

Hadley caught her ex cheating with her cousin shortly after learning she was expecting her second baby. She is a single pregnant mother who is in her last year of nursing school. A rude man, Elijah, moves into the house next to the apartment she lives in and when they first met, he was very critical of the young mother, but as he got to know her better, he began to see how strong and wonderful a mother she is. Elijah begins to love and care for Hadley and her two children and the relationship between Hadley and Elijah develops from their friendship.

I really enjoyed reading One Percent of You, by Michelle Gross. It was a great book to read that is short and fast, but with a good plot. I would recommend this to readers who enjoy romance books and want a short, heartfelt book to read. This book made me fall in love with the characters and the plot made me excited to read it.
