The two books that I read over the summer were Night by Elie Wiesel and Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers. Both were astounding books and the first one that I want to tell you about is Night.

         Night was an extraordinary and tragic book for many reasons; it kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting to find out what happened next during most of the book. All the events in this book were full of dismay and I liked how Elie kept his head up in the worst of times and got through the hardest situations. This book also shows how important family is and how they give you hope and help you get through hard times.

         Fallen Angels was an awesome action packed book, my favorite type. I could not put this book down it was so addicting. When my mom told me to put it away and go to sleep I told her that it wasn't that easy. It was like telling a hardcore smoker to stop smoking and quit. Through out this book there were many sad events that happened but many exciting and intense ones to balance it out. I loved all the fighting and gore. It’s the type book that sends you to sleep creating your own battle scenes and action packed adventures. But this was a serious book too. It talked about how the marines had to face the brutalities of war and the hardships they faced, along with putting their life on the line. We should be thankful for our troops and the risks that they take.
