Books - Before i die by Jenny Downham
Rate the book: 9.9
I couldn't put this book down once i started, it took me around four or five hours to read it and i wish there were more books just like it.
It's about a sixteen year old girl who is dying and she makes a list of ten things to do before she dies, she won't let herself die before she finishes her list. Her parents are divorced, her best friend is acting all wierd and she falls in love when she least expects it.
A thrilling, sad, loveable rollercoaster that any girl will enjoy reading and i highly recommend that they do!

Holes is a fabulous book. I am reading it for school and I enjoyed every second of it! I would read it again, again and again. It has really good description and imagery.
There is also as second book related to Holes, called Small Steps. I haven't read it yet, and it is sitting on my shelf waiting to be touched.

I think this game is great. When you first start the game you are given $10,000 and you can buy any car you want (if you can afford it of course). You can even do licences and work your way up from the bottom to one of the best racers with the best car or the car you've always wanted to buy. It is a great game and with about 721 different cars to choose from it will really keep you entertained. Definately a great game to play.

Woah that's huge gaming news Gold and very sad. I just checked out their newsletter, it said:
"Eventually though, all promotions must come to an end, so I'm announcing today that on May 21, 2008, VMK will open our virtual gates for the last time. You read that right: VMK was never intended to last forever – we'll close the game for good at the end of day on May 21st, 2008." Yavn Speaks, VMK newsletter.
I know a lot of VMK'ers visit Teen Online. Everyone will need to find somewhere else to go. Will it be Club Penguin, Puzzle Pirates, Pirates of the Caribbean Online or somewhere else? It's difficult though to say goodbye to the friends you've made along the way.......Maryanne

This book is written in free-verse about a troubled innercity teen who is one fight away from being kicked outta school. As the reader, we feel sorry for Marcus and we feel his anger and frustration at the way his life is going. The book is a quick read, has awesome illustrations and a true, satisfying conclusion. Urban teens, innercity boys will see themselves in the characters; voices that aren't represented very often in today's teen literature.

Books - To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Rate the book: 8
I had to read this book for school, and I'm guessing that I'm not the only one, so for anyone who wants to know what they're getting into; here's the rundown:
I'll start by saying that I was surprised it was actually decent. We've had to read a lot of bad stuff for school, but this one was an exception to the rule. While many people may find it a bot slow to start (as I did) it is well worth continuing. Set during the mid 1930's, it telles the story of Jem and Scout (Jean Louise) Finch, beginning with the more ordinary stuff, like what they do suring the summer when school's out, and how they get on with he other members of the community, including their father. As the book progresses, it takes on more serious issues, including the trial of a (now, I think this is politically correct) man of African-American lineage. As you may have guessed, the (often violent) predjudices of Americans in the early 1900's ensured that the case was frought with various tense political situations on both sides of the proverbial 'coin'. Anyway, though the case is (arguably) what made the book famous, it doesn't mean the Lee got his sales purely on subject material. This book is a very well written peice that explores many issues in a comprehensive and ultimatly interesting way. If you have to read it, be very glad it's not 'Coraline'.

Games - SWAT 4
Game platform: PC
Game genre: First Person Shooter
Rating (Aust): MA15+ - Mature accompanied
Rate the game: 8.5
SWAT 4 is an awesome Tactical Shooter with a difference. You get to control not just yourself, but a whole squad of the guys from Special Weapons And Tactics. You have to navigate quite a number of difficult situations using state-of-the-art equipment. Mirroring doors, radio controlling and up-to-the-minute sniper reports. The AI is fantastic; the best I've seen in any game made before this one. The troops look and act real. The only things that detract from the game are its very loooooooong load times for each level, and the lack of much variety. All of the missions involve walking into a buliding, and subduing all resistance. You get extra points for doing this without just blindly shooting. You can only 100% the game using non-lethal methods, and killing civillians is a sure-fire fail. That said, the game does involve lots of shooting and swearing, and some of the situations the player finds themselves in are, perhaps, themed maturely. If you're not into realistic insanity or psychos who hide bodies in their apartments, this possibly won't suit. It's fairly grity. Still, if you like some tactics with your shoot-em-ups, this is that game for you. Two expansion packs are also avalible.
