I got these books for 25 cents each at a bookstore that had its books for sale. I have never seen the movies for any of the books except for the 127 Hours, which I thought was good but not really amazing.

My Book Reviews:
127 Hours (Between a Rock and a Hard Place) Review
Once I read the book, I thought that Aron Ralston's adventure was really amazing. His story has so much to teach and is so inspiring.
The story is not all about the arm amputation, but rather about how he grew mentally and spiritually as a human being and how he became to appreciate his life, his loved ones, and even himself more than ever before.
I would recommend this book more than the movie because it is more insightful about Aron Ralston's life and how he grew as a person and how he became to appreciate life. I think that by reading this book, I have learned the importance of appreciating the people who care about us and to simply appreciate all that we have.
Sarah's Key Book Review:
This book was really moving; it will not leave your mind. It is a story joins the past and the present to uncover really sad and awful secrets that connect to families together.
The past takes place during the Holocaust, in France, where a Jewish girl named Sara is arrested, along with her parents. In the present, an American journalist investigates the roundup and discovers how she is linked to Sarah and uncovers the devastating secrets that tare her marriage apart.
I really recommend this book because it is packed with so many themes, such as the Holocaust, the family, lies, deaths, abortion, and strength. I was really impressed that the story started and ended really strong, leaving me a bitter sweet sensation in the end that really imprinted my mind.
The Lovely Bones Book Review:
This book was not what I expected; it was too tragic and gruesome. I thought it would have something more to it, like a twist of some kind, but the plot was too plain and there was nothing that hooked me to the story.
The Help Book Review:
This is a beautifully written book. It is one of those books that you just can't put down. It lures you to keep reading because of the secrets involved and the thrill of wanting to know what is going to happen next.
The Help is a story told through three different voices. Two black women named Minny and Aibleen, and a white woman named Skeeter. Chapter after chapter the narrarators switch out to tell the story from their view.
Their stories take place in Jacksonville, Mississipi druing the 1950s, where they are about to make a major decision that risks their lives and of their families, since there is nativism and racism going on through that time.
I would definitely recommend this book because it is a really enjoyable book that is hard to put down. It is a great story that makes you feel intrigue to know what their story is about and how it is going to tie up in the end.
I hope you find these reviews helpful in choosing wether or not to read these books. If you are planning on buying a book, I would definitely recommend Ebay or Amazon.
