Customer Review: Ice

Ice
by Sarah Beth Durst [j Durst]

This was a fantastic book! I literally finished the book in one day just because it was that good. Cassie portrays the character of a smart, strong young woman as she goes across the brutal Arctic. -- review submitted by Amilia B. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

Customer Review - The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars
by John Green [YA Green]

I'd say this is one of the best books I've ever read. Mainly, I wanted to read this before the movie comes out. But, my friend did recommend this to me, because it's an awesome book. I believe that this book has an excellent plot and storyline, great for teens. It's an amazing love story between two cancer patients. -- review submitted by Amilia B. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

Customer Review - Chomp

Chomp
by Carl Hiaasen [YA Hiassen]

This book was a book that took me awhile to get into. I had to admit, the beginning was a bit boring, but as you kept going into the book, it began to get more interesting. It's about a boy and his father, Mickey (father) and Wahoo (son) are hired to be on a show called "Expedition: Survival!" starring Derek Badger. The title of the book really relects on the book, because Derek has been "chomped" so many times by many animals, because he has no experience or skills with animals, even though in the whole plot of the show, he's supposed to be an animal expert. -- review submitted by Amilia B. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

Customer Review - The Running Dream

The Running Dream
by Wendelin Van Draanen [YA VanDraanen]

I really enjoyed this book. It's very realistic, and it was one of those books which I couldn't put down. I chose this book because it was a Golden Sower, but I also picked it up because it was a realistic fiction book. The title of the book really does reflect on what the book is about. It's about a girl who loses her leg in a tragic car accident, and is gaining confidence to learn how to run again, because she loves running and track, and wants to run again. It's her dream to run again. And she has these 'running dreams' where she is running in her dream, even though she can't in real life. -- review submitted by Amilia B. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

New Customer Reviews - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

During the course of our Summer Reading Program, several reviews for various books in the Harry Potter series were submitted to our Customer Reviews pages on the libraries' BookGuide reader site. Here are the reviews for the final book in the Potter series: 

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
by J.K. Rowling [j Rowling]

This was one of the most exciting of the series. It was really good, except that too many people died. Rowling did a very good job with this book and she made sure that everything was explained from the past books. This book is not a waste of your time. I'm planning on reading it again. -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

I picked up this book because it was the last book in the series and I had to finish it. I would definetly recommend this book because it's a real hooker. I couldn't put it down. I think the title really refers to the book, because many people die in the book. It also has a great ending! One of the best books I've ever read! -- review submitted by Amilia B. - another customer of the Gere Branch Library

This is the last gripping installment of the Harry Potter series. Voldemort is rising to power and Harry and his friends must find and destroy all Horacruxs. They leave Hogwarts to search.

Read to find out! -- review submitted by Ashley A. - another customer of the Gere Branch Library
