If Only It Were True
by
Marc Levy
Freitasgirl
, February 25, 2007
A romantic story about a young couple who are brought together in the most extraodinary of circumstances. An architect named Arthur finds a ghost named Laura in his home, and together they find a way to bring her back from a coma. The plot does have some interesting twists and turns, but it keeps the readers attention, and the relationship that was shown between Arthur and his mother is definately heartwarming.

Neverending Story
by
Michael Ende
Freitasgirl
, December 24, 2006
If you want an enchanting read, that will keep you on your toes this is it. I believe it is for people of all ages. I was first introduced to the film as a child, and have loved it ever since. The story of Bastian and the mystical world of Fatastica, is one everyone would enjoy. It has interesting creatures, adventure, and even good lessons for life. The book is even better than the film, because it's detailed so well.

One of my favorite books. I read it in Junior High, and it stayed with me ever since. It is a young girl's journey through love and loss, and it really related to me on a personal level at the time. This was one of the first books that actually made me enjoy reading.
