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.

The Fault In OUr Stars Movie Discussion
Before I start discussing the movie I will write some of my favorite quotes from the movie
'We may not look like much, but between all 3 of us we have 5 legs, 4 eyes, and 2 and a half pairs of lungs so yeah we may not look like much but we also have 2 dozen eggs"
"What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.”
“But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him.”
So yes the tears the tears the tears. I wasn't the girl in the theater sobbing and annoying everyone. I was silenty sitting there as tears streamed down my face clogging my vision. The tears started when she here lungs filled up with fluid, and didn't end until well after the movie. The actors, and actresses played their parts with such raw emotion.
Augustus (Mr.Elgort) was seriously so godamn hot, and played his parts so incredibly well. This was Ansel's first lead role and it was possibly the best movie I have ever watched. During the movie Ansel played it so well, he was just amazing. The best parts with Ansel were probably egging the house, anything Amsterdam, honestly every part of this movie was the best so I don't even know where to go. The emotion in the scene where he phones Hazel asking her to come help him,m and he has the infection and just wanted cigarettes. That was a terrible part, the tears and tears and tears and tears where plentiful. I really hope to see more Ansel in the future..
Hazal Grace. Shailene really played it with the emotion needed, someone who's accepted the fact she'll die soon, someone who doesn't want the world. She wasn't my favorite person in the movie, because I felt like Ansel brought most of the movie to the level it was. Hazel was still an amazing character, that had such strength, and beauty in her situation.
Isaac, super hilarious when he was breaking the trophy's and Augustus and Hazel were trying to have like a serious conversation, the egging of the house how when he throws the first time he misses and Gus has to redirect him, or at the funeral when he talks about the robot eyes and how he wouldn't want to see a world without Gus. Isaac brought humor to the movie, he brought sad humor considering his friends were dying and her lost both eyes. But Isaac was such a vital character in this book and movie.
So yeah I cried a bucketful or tears, not because it was sad, because it was a beautiful kind of sad. I loved the movie, after it ended and I saw the other people in the theater, all our make up was slipping down our face and we all had raccoon eyes. It was amazing and I loved it. Please read and watch this book and movie.
