Boktipzet

Igår hade vi premiär för en bokcirkel på Tallåsskolan. Det var fem engagerade elever och en bibliotekarie som tillsammans diskuterade Tahereh Mafis dystopiska framtidsroman Rör mig inte ! om Juliette, som kan döda en människa om hon rör vid någon. Vi som var där tyckte bra om den. Historien är intressant och den är skrivet på ett annorlunda sätt, där delar av huvudpersonen Juliettes tankar är överstrukna, som att hon inte får tänka dem. //Björn

Ni vet väl att Katrineholms stadsbibliotek har en egen blogg? Den heter Bubblan i bibblan och där presenterar bibliotekariernas boktips och gör lite reklam för vad som händer på stadsbiblioteket och Kulturhuset Ängeln. Den här veckan är det jag som har hand om bloggen och det blir flera recensioner av nya, riktigt bra böcker. Hittills den här veckan har jag skrivit om Lögnernas träd och Nattgästen . Imorgon pratar jag om Våra kemiska hjärtan och veckan avslutas med en recension av Wink, Poppy, Midnight. Kanske hittar du en ny favorit bland dem? Missa inte tipsen från de andra bibliotekarierna, vi har alla olika smak så det blir tips om allt möjligt. Trevlig läsning! //Björn

Diary of a wimpy kid by Jeff Kinney The main character is Greg Heffley, who may be from 11-13 years old, and his family with his dad, mom and his brother Rodrick who live together. It’s the first year of middle school for Greg and Rowley where weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. Greg is happy to have Rowley as a friend but when he starts to rise on the popularity list then he wants to use it to his own advantage and that will test their friendship in hilarious ways. Rodrick gives advice to Greg how to survive middle school and then he tries to teach that to Rowley because he thinks that he's lame and childish. The front page is very simple. There is only a white page with black and white colours. It's a drawn boy that looks very sad with a backpack. I chose this book just because I have seen the movie of the book and I found it very funny so I said let's give it a try. My expectations were that it was going to be a comedy boo...

Diary of a wimpy kid by Jeff Kinney My opinion on this book is that it is an average book. It’s is kind of a slow book and the jokes are so bad they are super dry. I recommend the book to people that have bad sense of humor. The book is about Greg, that has a friend Rowley. that is a bit stupid. He is very scared and his parents get very angry at him for doing bad stuff like playing video games that are not for his age. And then Greg gets grounded by his parents. Greg kind of gets bullied at school by kids that are bigger than him. That's when he wants to be hall security and he feels safer then, because if you bully a hall security you get banned from school. Greg wants to become the class clown, but he doesn't get any votes from his class, but his friend gets all the votes instead. Greg starts to get mad at him for getting all the votes. Greg and his best friend don't get along that good anymore so the are not gonna be hanging out for sometime. It's like a bre...

Straight punch by Monique Polak. It takes place in a little town in America in the year 2014. The story is about a 17 year old girl named Tessa McPhail who has recently been expelled from her old school and now has to go to a last-chance school named New Directions. It is a small school with only 12 students, Tessa being one of them. The new school has a special schedule where half of the day is normal studies and the other half is boxing. They train boxing everyday because the gym teacher “Big Ron” says that it gives the students more character and self-confidence. The only main character is Tessa McPhail. She is 17 years old with burgundy colored hair. She hates violence, because when she was 11 years old she and her mom were going out to eat when they were caught up in the middle of a riot after a football game. The riot scarred Tessa for life. In my opinion the book is really good, it’s one of the few books that I have enjoyed recently. The characters are all great with p...

Diary of a wimpy kid: Old school by Jeff Kinney I’ve read a bo ok called Old school by Jeff Kinney which is about this one guy named Greg Heffley, who is just an average kid from the USA. In this book his town voluntarily unplugs and goes totally electronic free. And he starts thinking about the good old days, was it better back then? He’s not quite used to the old fashioned world, and that’s pretty much what the book is all about. He goes on some kind of school trip, and he doesn’t have any electronics at all. And it’s just a matter of time how long he’s gonna last. The book itself is a comedy I’d say just because there are like all those kinds of different jokes and stuff in the book you might notice reading it. The front is pretty simple. It’s just Greg standing with a radio and some kind of vvs for some reason, probably because of the title, that it’s supposed to feel a little more old school. Like I said there are all those inside jokes or whatever at certain places that you...

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood by Oliver Bowden I have read the book Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood by Oliver Bowden. The book is about Ezio Auditiore and the brotherhood that he belongs to, the assassins. Ezio is trying to protect the brotherhood at the same time as he is looking for some sort of godly artifacts, this is the mission he got from a god and this god decided that he was worthy of this task. All the Assassin’s creed books are based on the Assassin’s creed games which is interesting, people say that the books have a strong connection to the games which is true. If you have ever played one of the games you would almost notice this immediately. This book is definitely action packed and if you like when stuff happens all the time I would greatly recommend it, of course it would be a bonus if you have played the game and liked it. It makes the experience a whole lot better. If I had to rate this book I would give it 8/10 since I have played the games and I really didn’t need ...
