Book Summary and Comments:
It is about a man who is working for the law and has to burn books for a living and reads a number of books (against the law) and murders 3 men and is on the run. I thought the book was completely horrible and needs to be burned itself.

Miss Jennie's Sticky Note:
I won't disagree with you, Jacquelyn - I didn't much like this book either. However, I think its message, about how books - and more importantly, information and thinking - are things we really want to hold onto, is a good one to think about.

For a different - and much more fun! - look at the subject, I highly recommend checking out Library Wars, which is a new manga that is rapidly becoming one of my favorites!

Book Summary and Comments:
I didn’t like the book because Edward was totally stalkerish and it was kinda weird. Bella’s like weird cuz she is. And vampires don’t sparkle.
