The Best of Books, The Worst of Books

One of the best books I've ever read was Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I loved the main character, Ender, because I felt I could relate to being the underdog and being bullied as a kid. Ender did things that I wish I could have done. He also did some things that I never would have done...which is what made the story very interesting. I loved how the story ended. It had a "trick" ending that I really didn't see coming. Great story.

Well, I wanted to kick off this return to blogging with a topic inspired by my visit to the library today. There's a contest going on at the San Dimas library that involves Middle School students choosing the WORST book they've ever read! I thought that was kind of fun, so I made my own blog entry to get this started.

As I understand it, they will offer prizes to everyone that enters and some sort of grand prize. See me if you're interested, but for now, I'd like to get some class involvement.

I'll give extra credit to all who give a paragraph response to the worst book you've ever read, or the BEST book you've ever read.

Here's how I want the post to look:

The worst/best book I ever read was by . In this sentence you will explain WHY it was the worst book you have ever read (or the best). Give more than "it sucked" or "it was awesome" as your answer. Explain. Give details.

Then put your first name and last initial and your period #.

Like this.

Alright, writers. Get writing!

p.s. The book in the picture above is another of my favorite books, but not in the traditional story sense of books. It's a rhyming dictionary that helps me when I'm writing songs. It's helped me many a time when I was stuck looking for just the right word.
