I would rate the book The priests graveyard a good 9-10 I just loved how it just kept making me want to turn the page and it was an empowering story of having the main character at such a low point in life and then just one person changes her life forever. The first part of the book stared in an intense situation of the main character Renee Gilmore on an insane hallucination from heroin. She endured pain, fear, and confusion “I wandered out into the middle of the street” (Dekker 28). I liked how the savor for Renee was Lamont who was the one who hit her with his car but it turned out that he is the only reason she is still alive. The second best part was how she recovered knowing what she did that was so bad and she did her best to fix it

A Response to Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible and the essentializing of Africa: a critical double standard? Barbara Kingsolver was not able to enter the Congo/Zaire while she was writing this book. She admits that she is relying on memories, other cultures, and others accounts of what the Congo/Zaire is like to write this book. I disagree with what William F. Purcell has to say about the use of cultures in her book.

Burnham the leader of the World Fair and H. H Holmes the notorious serial killer, are the two main characters in this novel that Erik Larson uses the balance between light and dark between these two’s personalities. In the novel The Devil in the White City Erik Larson uses Imagery, paradox, and alliteration to show the balance between the light and dark in the ever growing city of Chicago. Imagery paints an ever expanding picture for the audience, the detailed descriptions such as “but his eyes are as blue as ever, bluer at this instant by proximity to the sea" (Larson 3).

I have been really enjoying my story The priests graveyard so far it brings you on a rollercoaster. It makes it difficult to guess what is going to happen next. All though its difficult story to predict there are obvious objects playing a role in the book. The first object is a human in the story but I am referring to him as an object because Renee depends on him for survival.

It 's a jaw-dropping book that will leave you wanting more as the author Laurie writes in a crisp and clear way describing the young girl Melinda’s horrific story and how it unfolds. The author 's tone gives off the vibe of a young frighted girl which I find really enhances this sad, but exhilarating story. This story taught me to always speak up for myself and to never let anyone take advantage of me. I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and

The last book I read was tilled ‘Unfailing Love’, authored by Danny Dick. Just like Other books he has written, it is centered on love, lust, betrayal and sticking together against all odds. Darrell an auto mechanic working in a remote, quiet town in Nebraska, had given up on love after losing the love of his life, Lily Thompson, in an unexplainable accident. Her body was never found, everyone except Darrell had this conviction she was dead. Ten years later, a patient in the Clarkson hospital, New Jersey, recovered mysteriously; medical practitioners were amazed and could only call recovering from a 10 year coma nothing short of a miracle.

I feel like people of middle school or high school age would appreciate this book, because it is at their reading level, roughly. I think that it’d be too difficult and gruesome for elementary kids, and too repetitive and childish for college aged adults and older. I feel people who are fond of dystopian future novels, such as The Hunger Games and Divergent would revel in this. These are my recommendations; it’s not a guarantee that every person in every category feels the way I imagine, but that is just my rough idea. I believe this novel was tolerable, giving it a rating of three and a half out of five stars, for me at least.
