Feed
For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires
I found feed to be a predictable book, that probably was much more interesting back in 2001. I find in 2014 this books world building could be better, you never are really given answers to most questions. You go into the book thinking it will be a life altering book about technology but its not is basically a love story that sucked. This was not a book I would recommend I found it was very out there in a bad way. Do not let this review stop you from reading it if you want to read it go ahead, but I found it to be a waste of time the only reason I read it was because it was the only book at the moment that I had to read. The only character I liked was violets dad. I give this book 2 out of 5

P.S TITUS WORST BOYFRIEND EVER
Perfect Chemistry- Simone Elkeles
So sorry for such a long break, blogger wasn't letting me get into my blog.
When Brittany Ellis walks into chemistry class on the first day of senior year, she has no clue that her carefully created 'perfect' life is about to unravel before her eyes. She's forced to be lab partners with Alex Fuentes, a gang member from the other side of town, and he is about to threaten everything she's worked so hard for: her flawless reputation, her relationship with her boyfriend, and the secret that her home life is anything but perfect.
Alex is a bad boy and he knows it. So when he makes a bet with his friends to lure Brittany into his life, he thinks nothing of it. But soon Alex realizes Brittany is a real person with real problems, and suddenly the bet he made in arrogance turns into something much more.
First off I love how the author broke the mold about gangs and what not, but to be honest I feel like this book wasn't very unique don't get me wrong I loved it but, the plot and story line was hardly special.
Alex, he seems so rough and hard core which I really liked but then you read about him with his brothers, and I felt like that kindness was out of place, being he was in a gang. But his personality really works with the rest of the story, once you get more into him and Brittany.
Brittany she never spoke her mind through most of the story which pissed me off to an extreme. Seriously though if you are upset with your parents tell them or talk to them don't freak out.
Both main people had so much character development through the story, which was nice to see they were learning from their mistakes and trying to fix things. Alex though was the best character in the book, he just changed so much for the better and really made his own decsions in the end which made me love him even more.
This book was so good and I really enjoyed it so i'm giving it a 4.5, but for originality i'm only giving it a 3.5.
