Book Title: The Wedding
Author: Nicholas Sparks

"I loved The Notebook, so I really loved this one just as much! It's so romantic and heart-felt! The characters are wonderful and they're easy to relate to! This book make me cry! It also has a surprise ending. There wasn't really anything I disliked about it.

Book Title: Fahrenheit 451
Author: Ray Bradbury

"If you want a book that will change your perspective on, well, books, Fahrenheit 451 is a book that you would want to read. The main character's job is to burn privately owned books that are hidden. At first, this society might seem wacko and strange, but after reading the book, I have learned that this society is not far from our own. This book will hopefully change the path our society is spiraling towards."

Book Title: Cujo
Author: Stephen King

"I don't remember main characters, but I know the story line or plot. A mother and her son drive their Pinto to a repairman's house out in the country. They say he's the best in Maine. The kid's father is away on a business trip. While the mother and son are at the repairman's house, the car wouldn't restart so they are stuck there. They come to discover that the dog living there has rabies. In the end, the boy dies."

Book Title: For Better, For Worse, Forever
Author: Lurlene McDaniel

"This book was really great. It's especially a good book for girls to read. It's very sad, but sometimes they're the very best kinds of books because they trigger your emotions. I recommend reading this book!"

Book Title: The Fellowship of the Ring
Author: J.R.R. Tolkien

"Any one who likes a good adventure will love this book. The vivid depiction of the fantasy realms of Middle Earth are fantastic. It however does start of somewhat slow but once you get into it you'll be hooked. I also recommend The Two Towers and The Return of the King."

Book Title: The Twin Towers
Author: J.R.R. Tolkien

"Yet again Tolkien's vivid description of the world is wonderful. It begins where The Fellowship of the Ring left off so if you haven't read that one you'll be totally lost. I also recommend The Return of the King."
