=Kristen's Reading Log= I finished __If I Stay__ this week and after finishing it, I thought it was overall okay. I liked the fact that it had flashbacks, but I wish the book had more action and dialogue and spent more time focussed on the plot, instead of just memories. I felt that the book was also really predictable, as from about the secong chapter i correctly predicted the whole book. Important passages in the book were neat the end, when Kim tells her that even though her family is dead, she still has a whole family of visitors (friends and other family) waiting for her to come back. This is really when she decides to stay. After reading this book, iI wonder why the author wrote this book, and where she got the idea.

This week, I read to page 133 in __Inkheart__ by Cornelia Funke. I think that so far this book was pretty boring at first, but later on got better. I like the fact that the book forshadows but never tells you the whole story, as it makes the book more mysterious and interesting to read. I predict that Mo, Meggie's father, is able to bring characters alive when he reads outloud, as Dustfinger asked Meggie why her father never read aloud to her and he said "You were written in the wrong story" as if your life is a book. Important passages in the book include page 18
