include about the novel—maybe it was the best book you have ever read, or the worst. This
section is open to your own comments and opinions. Example below.)
I wouldn’t read it again, but I did enjoy it for the most part. I think the main character,
Jason, is witty and he really starts to grow on you, but the book as a whole didn’t draw me in
very strongly. (“Godless”)

This has been one of my favorite books since high school. I love the disguises, the mystery,
buried treasure, revenge, escape, everything. There are so many interesting characters that
are developed and I never wanted to stop reading. I was actually disappointed when it
ended. I would recommend this novel to anyone who likes adventure and wants a good read!
(“The Count of Monte Cristo”)
OR
I didn’t really enjoy this book. There were certain parts that I thought were suspenseful, but
for the most part I thought it was slow and boring. The language is from 1897 and is
therefore difficult to get through and I don’t think it would relate to teen audience today.
However, I think this book would appeal to a small audience who really love the whole
“vampire” thing and who are also mature readers. (“Dracula”)

Type the back cover of the book in this section. If there isn’t a back cover (there should be) and
