June 2020 Books of the Month

Ben-
    My June 2020 Book of the Month was The Six Trilogy by Mark Alpert. In it, Adam, a dying teenager is comforted by only one thing: virtual reality. Then some weird hacker who goes by Sigma tries to kill him. He just barely manages to escape. Too bad he's still dying of muscular atrophy. BUT WAIT! His computer scientist father has a plan: transfer his mind to a fun new robot! (The procedure is fatal.) Adam and five other terminally ill kids do the procedure -- and save the world from Sigma, who is actually a rogue AI.
    I liked these books because there is action! Some of the action takes place in Russia! There's a big plot twist in the third book! There's a small plot twist in the second book! ACTION, COMEDY, MORE ACTION, MYSTERY, ALL IN ONE! GET THE SIX TODAY!
    These books really do have the works. Read them now.

Max-
    My June 2020 Book of the Month was Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. I am guessing a lot of you have read this, but also some people haven't, so here we go! 
    So, Harry lives with his mean aunt even meaner uncle as well as a spoiled, spoiled, spoiled, spoiled, cousin. This is because his parents died in a car crash when he was a baby. Clearly, he is not very happy about this. But then, some strange things start happening. Letters start flying out of the fireplace, for one. This causes the "family" to move out. But, as they go to another house in the pouring rain, a giant named Rubeus Hagrid appears. Hagrid takes away Harry, (and puts a pig tail on the spoiled cousin Dudley) saying that he is accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He also says that his parents were actually killed by Lord Voldemort, but Harry lived. So THAT's where that lightning scar came from! But there's a mystery in Hogwarts.
    I liked this book because it's mystery and humor and fantasy all in one. It also has something to think about in later books and plot twists and cool new stuff too. Basically, it's very all-out goodness and you should read now. Thank you, and good night.

January 2021 Books of the Month

              Max -                My January 2021 Book of the Month was Recursion by Blake Crouch. In it, an epidemic of false memories are occurring. People who have FMS (False Memory Syndrome) remember two lives lived, and they can't tell them apart. The only difference is that one set of memories is gray and staticky.  In 2008, Helena is offered a job on a converted oil rig constructing a chair that supposedly should cure Alzheimer's disease. But, Helena's boss takes it too far - and the chair goes further. In 2018, Barry, a police officer, fails to stop an FMS suicide, but then realizes that the whole event turned into a false memory after a nosebleed. I liked this book because it is about an interesting topic, because the entire book is a plot twist, and because it gives you something to think about.  Read to find out how Barry and Helena stop FMS - and what FMS really is.  ...

March 2021 Books of the Month

Ben     My March 2021 Book of the Month is Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall. It covers the geopolitical contexts and situations in several vital regions of the world. These include:  Russia ,  China , the  United States ,  Europe , the  Middle East ,  South Asia ,  Africa ,  Japan  &  Korea ,  Latin America , and the  Arctic Ocean . Learn why the DRC is a cesspool, why Russia needs Crimea, why America's geography  is great, why France and Germany are destined for greatness, why the EU is doomed to fail, and how Arabia became a warzone.     I like this book primarily because I am a cartophile. It contains lots of maps, explains our world, and reminds me that Russia is in trouble. (I don't like Putin.) Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in geography, politics, or geopolitics. Max -     My March 2021 Book of the Month was The Unwind Dystology by Neal Shusterma...

July 2020 Books of the Month

 Ben -     My July 2020 Book of the Month was the Genie Lo Duology by F.C. Yee. An otherwise normal Chinese girl makes a fun new friend, who happens to be a reincarnation of the hero of Chinese mythology -- the Monkey King. Also Genie is the reincarnation of a stick. Also demons are invading California. Also you can make a funny quip about every other sentence. I liked this book because of the humor and action. There's also romance and red tape, but who cares? I would recommend this book to anyone who cares about things other than romance.   Max -     My July 2020 Book of the Month was The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. He also wrote books like Jurassic Park . The Andromeda Strain has a sequel, The Andromeda Evolution , by Daniel H. Wilson.      A small town in Arizona, Piedmont was struck by a satellite. Then everyone in the town died. Researchers who went there find that either everyone died instantly of blood clots...
