I am scout is the bio of Harper Lee, the person who wrote to kill a mockingbird. you'll find out that the town was molded after what she wrote in her book: to kill a mockingbird, Atticus in the story was molded after her father, her house maids, and Dill her friend. I liked it a lot! It was the best bio I have read, it read smoothly.

Macarthur by Mitchell Yockelson,
I knew about Douglous Macarthur before so when I saw this bio about him, I read it.
Douglas Macarthur was a American army genral in World war 2 and world war 2 and the Korean war. He was an American icon in the twentieth century. Famous for the words" I shall return" He furfilled them, returning to the Philippians. 
4 stars
The book was more about what he did in the army then in his life.

I received this book from booksneeze.com free to review.

1984 review

1984 (Signet Classics)
1984
by George Orwell
genre: life
time: 1984
stars: 5

1984 was written in 1947,

1984 is a depressing tale of the future, of the big brother, of communism, Hate weeks, and your every move is watched, theirs thought police that can read your thoughts. and people disapear, nobody knows how many years have passed or days. it could be weeks....

Winston hates the big brother, he is causious, then he finds a place, above an antique store is a nice room, full of antique furniture, and  theirs no telascreen that can watch him. So he rents the place and gets away sometimes in the week....its a nice thought. no one watching you...then theirs the girl, Julia...

its depressing but the book rings true, I liked it. its a classic.

you have to read it!

Kate the making of a princess review!

Kate: The Making of a Princess
Kate the making of a princess
by Claudia Joseph
genre: bio
time: 21st century
stars: 4

my opinion: Kate the making of a princess was about Kate middleton and how she and William met- she was on a cat walk wearing a black bra and underwear and a veil over it ( I was like: really????)  and thats when William fell in love with her. The first half of the book was about Kate's grandparents and great, great great grandparents. that part was boring. and when it came to Kate Middleton their seemed to always be ''sipping cocktails or wine," mentioned and parties they went to and love and kisses.

so I liked it but I was kinda disapointed. but if you want a book about Kate middleton its a good read.
