LCC Reading Instructors Gina Smith and Sue Hank share their students' book reviews...
White Fang by Jack London
I learned that wolves are very tough animals and can be trained to do anything. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it because it tells about a dog in the wild, is interesting and will help people deal with situations in their lives.

1984 by George Orwell
I enjoyed my book and would recommend it because I found it very interesting that that’s how the future was predicted to be. I feel this book is in a way related to the way we live today as far as cameras, microphones and other things that watch and listens to us.

The Christmas Sweater by Glen Beck
My grandmother gave this book to me one year for Christmas personally for me and she told me to read it because I would love it and I do. I learned not everything goes your way in life. You have to accept other’s feelings and thoughts about some things. Don’t ever take anyone for granted. I have read this book at least three times and there’s always something new or interesting that I read about that I missed the first time or didn’t understand. Read this book carefully because every word is important and has so much detail. This book is a wonderful, one of a kind book, is unique and it teaches you a lot about life’s lessons . This is probably one of the best books you can base life on. It is so true.

The Fallen by Paul Langan
I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others because it was an exciting and good book to read. It showed me that anyone can change. Even though you think revenge can keep you from being hurt you still should do the right thing.

The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
I enjoyed the book. I liked it because I like books that are science fiction, even ones that explain other life forms. It makes me wonder if there are other life forms out there in space. I would recommend this book if a person likes aliens attacking humans or just science fiction books overall.

Brothers In Arms by Paul Langan
I enjoyed the book. It was very interesting. It was similar to real life, the stuff most people go through. I like to read books with drama because that catches my attention. I would recommend this to people who go through similar situations can read it and see how they can fix it.

True To The Game II by Teri Woods
I enjoyed this book and would recommend it because it is full of action and some of the things happening could have been real life situations. I believe a reluctant reader would enjoy this book because you really never know what to expect next. That’s what keeps you wanting to read more.
- Reviewed by Kiesha Hill
I learned you really can’t trust people if you have not seen them in person. You can’t really think everything in a company is destroyed if you don’t do it yourself. I enjoyed this book because it kept me guessing throughout the whole book on what was going to happen next. You can guess what happens next but you don’t know if you are right until you read on

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it because it is about everyday life and events which happen in everyone’s family.

Million Dollar Hunt by Sam Streib
This book is full of action. The hunt is on for a million dollars which had been buried after a bank robbery. I recommend this book to all who are looking for a mysterious story. It’s exciting to read about how the story takes place and how the action makes everything come together. You must get the book to find out how this happens. This an excellent book to read!
