Bad to Cursed
Jasmine 11/18/12 Book Review The title of the book I read is From Bad to cursed by Katie Alender. The plot of this story is a girl name Megan and she was not the most popular girl but she was the smartest girl ,until she joins this group in her school ,all of the girls that are in this group are really pretty and popular but little does Megan know these girls worship this evil spirit they call aralt. Megan becomes really mean and bitter and malicious her personality changes completely. The setting of this novel takes place mostly at Megan’s school and her house in the morning she’s at home then she goes to school then she comes back home for the night. The significance of the setting is when she’s at school because that’s when she completely changes and when she gets home her father can tell that her personality has changed. The author reveal information about Megan by putting her in very difficult situations like when her mother passed away when Megan was a younger age , a lot of people that was close to Megan passed away so she had to cope with that. Megan really changes from the begging of the novel to the end of the novel. In paragraph seven-teen threw thirty-four Megan’s whole personality changes for the worse because she got involved with the wrong group of girls. Quest for power is one of the themes in this book. The reason why a quest for power is one of the themes is because Megan really wanted to be in charge of everything and everybody. So don’t be power hungry because you may be way in over your head. I recommend this book because it gives you life lessons about diffent things you may run into in your life and it shows you what not to do in certain situations. I give this book a five out

    I liked this novel very much because it shows how precious life is, and that drinking and driving is NEVER a good idea. The story makes me realize that with maturity, comes difficult choices, and you must always be wise. Things like this happen every day and people always think, “Oh it won’t happen to me,” but you never know. I would recommend this book to my friends because I think the story line would influence their choices greatly. I think it would give them a better perspective on making good…

    The setting of the story changes as the book goes on but for the most part the story takes place in Boston. The story first takes place in the Lapham household in the early 1770’s. The setting soon becomes the Lyte’s mansion, the courthouse, and various shops in Boston for a while. Finally the setting stays in one place for most of the book when Johnny moves into the Boston Observer shop. Some of the major themes are war transforms boys into men, war, pride, and forgiveness. Since the setting is Boston, where the British soldier…

    I liked this book mainly because of how different it was compared to my lifestyle and how entertaining it was. Nikki turner didn’t really sugar coat much so I felt I was watching a movie and saw it for what it truly was. Like anyone’s guilty pleasure we all like reality television and it kind of reminded me of just that with fights and drama. The books good points that were how certain events that happen in one’s life good or bad really do shape a person into who they become. Teaching me to not be ashamed of what happens and to only use that circumstance as a motivation of some kind. For anyone that is interested in a gritty, suspenseful, and eye bulging book that keeps you wondering what’s next I would definably recommend this book to that someone willing to take a…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    As I began reading The Shack I did not think that I would enjoy reading the book. I have heard of the book before and I have heard good reviews and bad reviews about the book. After I got through the first few chapters I started to get interested and locked into book. Paul Young made me want to get a highlighter and highlight the interesting and inspirational words that he was writing.…

    Overall I really enjoyed this book. Even the parts I did not like very much still caught my attention. An example of this is the section pertaining to how real estate agents may not try their very hardest to get you the best deal. Although this makes absolute sense in the simplest manner, much like everything in this book, it is not the easiest to stomach. While the real estate agents only lose a couple hundred dollars in commission, a buyer or seller can lose thousands of dollars because of an antsy real estate agent. Another example of a part that I did not like was the excerpt on the teachers cheating for their students. I was completely put off by this because in the end, the students ended up in a worse spot than where they were original. Standardized testing is put in place to make…

    I don’t know if this is truly a review for this book, a major reason may be that most of the people pass out of high school having read a book and written a book report too sometimes; thanks to our education system, somehow I skipped that complete episode. At this age, if I write a book review, it wouldn’t be fair; on the internet there is no shortage of different reviews. One more additional review is not going to make any difference; the difference lies in how and what lessons can be taken away from this classic.…
