Great Gatsby book review

This book is an ok book. The book did not really keep my interested for very long, but I must admit that there were some parts in the book that caught my eye. Never the less I read the book to the beginning to the end. First off this book’s setting is in the 1920’s and about a person called Gatsby. Gatsby is apposed to be a rich man that throe's wild party's at mansion. Although this is what the book is manly about, this book is about other thing besides what Gatsby did.
In one the parts of the book, the book was gust starting to get interesting in one of Gatsby’s famous parties were about to happen. “At least once a fortnight a corps of caterers came down with several hundred feet of canvas and enough colored lights to make a Christmas tree of Gatsby’s enormous garden. On buffet tables, garnished with glistening hors-d’oeuvre, spiced baked hams crowded against salads of harlequin designs and pastry pigs and turkeys bewitched to a dark gold. In the main hall a bar with a real brass rail was set up, and stocked with gins and liquors and with cordials so long forgotten that most of his female guests were too young to know one from another.By seven o’clock the orchestra has arrived, no thin five-piece affair, but a whole pitiful of oboes and trombones and saxophones and viols and cornets and piccolos, and low and high drums. The last swimmers........”. To think that he actually has parties like this one every month or so. You would think he would have parties on a cations like for holiday day such as Christmas or Thanksgiving.
Another moment in the book was when people were getting curers of Gatsby and his life’s back round. “He’s a bootlegger,” said the young ladies, moving somewhere between his cocktails and his flowers. “One time he killed a man who had found out that he was nephew to Von Hindenburg and second cousin to the devil. Reach me a rose, honey, and pour me a last drop into that there crystal glass.”
Again this book didn’t keep me interested for very long, but never the less its a good book. This book doesn’t have that many twisted and terns in it, but its a good book if you don’t like twisted and terns. This book is a kind of short book because it has only has 9 chapters, but the pages are very long, you could probably finish it in a week if you read 2 chapters a day or sooner depending if you are a fast reader.

Catching Fire

This is my book review.This is the most awesome book ever. There is a lot of adventure and action. The source of all this action and adventure is caused by this place called the capital. The reason why the capital is causing all the action is because the capital controls these 12 districts in North America. Since the 12 district’s mistreatment from the capital, the 12 districts wont to rebel or start an up rise to free them selves from the capitals control. The only thing is, is that the capital is very strong and powerful and the 12 districts fear the capital, so it makes it hard to rebel from the capitals control. It is up to one girl, Katniss Evedeen to start the rebellion and free the districts from the capitals control. The only problem is that she is drafted yet again to compete for the hunger games.
In one part of the book Katniss is taking a tourer of of all the districts and one of the districts was district 11, home of her friend that died in the hunger games Rue. "There's a long pause. Then, from somewhere in the crowd, someone whistles Rue's four-note mockingjay tune . . .By the end of the tune, I have found the whistler, a wizened old man in a faded red shirt and overalls. His eyes meet mine. What happens next is not an accident. It is too well executed to be spontaneous, because it happens in complete unison. Every person in the crowd presses the three middle fingers of their left hand against their lips and extends them to me.” Another part in the book is when Katniss asked her friend Peeta what did he do for this rating “”I painted a picture of Rue covered in flowers on the floor” Peeta said sadly”
Who ever likes adventure they should read this book. I really recommend this book to anyone. This book got me more in to reading. If you don't like to read or have trouble staying interested in a book you should try reading this book. It will change your life.

Armoured War Far

This book is about not to much armoured vehicles, but more about tactics. The tactics are mainly for armoured vehicles. This book is many about research, there's no action, comedy, and love its gust another boring novel. Nothing interesting about this book.
This book also states the jobs of the people that drive the tank. Nothing interesting about that now is there. That's why I said this book is mainly for information about how the armoured tanks work. This is not a good book to read.

Swindle book review

Swindle is an o.k. book to read. It is very clever and sneaky. It does have adventure, but not so much action in it. The book is about a guy named Swindle who owns a shop that collects old and rare card and action figures. Now the story is based of a baseball cared and a kid that got cheated out of a million dollars fora baseball card from this guy named Swindle.
This kid wants to get back at the guy named Swindle by stealing back the baseball card. He then comes up with a plan on how to steal it back that includes a team of five people.The book was enjoyable to read because it is very surprising. The book keeps you reading even when you want to stop.
In one part of the book the card was relocated from the shop to Swindles house. The kid then forms a team to get in to the house and steal it back. Who ever likes books that is very smart and well thought out should read this book. Its a real adventure and plushier to read.
