I See Dead People by DanielGrzeszkiewicz

X-Men: First Class

I saw this in the movie theater on Saturday, and boy, let me tell you, it was freaking BEAUTIFUL~ I'm currently watching the first three movies before it though (Go Wolverine!) and they are all so AMAZING! I was literally hyperventilating because of it.

JAMES MCAVOY AND MICHAEL FASSBENDER <3333

BTW, Jennifer Lawrence, the actress for Mystique is Katniss! She was great, though she's going to have to lose some weight if she'll play Katniss because Katniss is super skinny because well...she has nothing to eat.

Escape From Memory by Margaret Peterson Haddix

Kira Landon is basically your typical ordinary girl. One day, at a sleepover, she allows her friends to hypnotize her. They find a shocking secret that she was kidnapped from a certain place...during a war. She thinks it's crazy and tries to confront her mother about it, but her mom refuses to talk about it. The next day, her mom is kidnapped and she is approached by "Aunt Memory" who lies that she is basically Kira's guardian. They travel to Crythe, which is basically a mystical place where the inhabitants remember everything. Literally. They remember every conversation, each face, and beyond that. Kira and Lynne (Kira's best friend who was the one who hypnotized Kira) discover Aunt Memory is actually Rona Cummins, a foe of Kira's dead parents who is after her parents memories. Kira's parents had discovered a way to somehow rearrange memories and replace it with someone or put it into a computer that they made. She soon discovers that her parents memories are inside her head, and Lynne unlocks it by hypnotizing her again. Kira's mom is actually her real mom but her mom believes that she is her sister, Sophia. Kira faces many choices in order to save Lynne, her mom and her parent's memories.

This story was so mindblowing! Margaret Peterson Haddix (I like to call her MPH aka miles per hour, haha) thinks of the craziest ideas! Like in this story, it was about people who could remember everything and discover how to arrange the memories in their head through a computer. Another book had this girl who took an operation and now, she won't stop growing younger. MPH is a genious! I hope you've read some of her books. :)

Skybreaker by Kenneth Oppel

To be honest, I thought this wouldn't be that great. Boy, was I wrong. This was beautiful~ Haha, I loved the tension between Matt and Kate. Anyway, the plot was cleverly thought out and the characters were well written out. Kenneth Oppel certainly is very skilled in writing stories. :)

Al Capone Shines My Shoes by Gennifer Choldenko

This story was really humorous and the plot was well thought out. I loved it.

The Lab by Jack Heath

This book is about a clone named Agent Six of Hearts. He is part of a organization called the Deck which is a group that is against ChaoSonic. ChaoSonic is a company that took over the last remaining city of the entire world. Agent Six is the most successful of the Deck because his abilities were enhanced by another group called the Lab. Then, he meets Kyntak, who is basically his brother. (He is a clone from Project Falcon where Six was also made.) Six is sent into a dangerous mission...

I thought this book was decent enough. I don't know if I really enjoyed the book though. There's a sequel called Remote Control...I have no idea if I'm going to read it, but I might as well give it a second try. Also, this reminded me a lot of Alex Rider. Alex Rider is this teenage spy, but he had a clone made out of him and it's kind of science-fiction...Anyway, Alex Rider is an awesome series. You should give that a try. :)
