Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury



My Ratings:
Vocabulary:  *****
Ingredients: *****
Satisfaction: *****
Lexile Level: 890L
Genre: Science Fiction, Futuristic
My Opinions: This is a classic. Very famous and popular around the world. At first it was confusing and hard to follow along because it felt as though Bradbury kept jumping from setting to setting. But, towards the end, the moral was clear. Bradbury's use of allusions, style of writing, vocabulary, symbolism, and literary devices definitely put this book at the top for classroom and book project purposes. I was able to learn so much just from the first page because it had a deeper meaning when you actually dissect it instead of just reading the surface! It also teaches a valuable lesson through describing Montag's, the main character, hero's journey as he changes his views of his dystopian society.

The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda



My Ratings:
Vocabulary:  *****
Ingredients: *****
Satisfaction: *****
Lexile Level: 730L (Young Adults)
Genre: Science Fiction, Futuristic, Fantasy
My OpinionsThe Hunt by Andrew Fukuda is top to bottom, simply amazing! It is like the Hunger Games. It is set in a post apocalyptic world where everything part of a food pyramid comes from meat. Blood as a quencher, and meat 24/7. Gene, the main character, is disguised as a human to survive in this world and has been chosen in the Heper Hunt, which everyone wants to be a part of. It is a lottery to choose the hunters who eventually hunt down hepers for their delicious, one of a kind flesh. As a hunter there are many obstacles to face, especially after another one of the hunters has fallen in love with him. Trust me, this book is amazing for teenagers and pretty much anyone who loves the Hunger Games. You may think this is just another detailed description of a book I read and that of course I have to say "page turner" in order for you to try the book, but I am dead serious with this one guys! Comment below on what you think about the book!
