Clockwork Three.

Three children are united in the struggle to achieve happiness in their harsh and sorrowful lives. Though the plot is slow, Matthew Kirby does an excellent job of building up a story and introducing characters. His new book, The Clockwork Three, is similar to The Series of Unfortunate Events.I enjoyed this book and I believe other readers will too.

The Hunger Games can be enjoyed by nearly everyone.  It contains action, sorrow, and romance. I know, I enjoyed this book. Due to the violent nature, I reccomend readers younger than twelve get a parent's consent before reading.

In the corrupt country of Panem, twenty-four tributes are taken from their homes and forced to fight in the Hunger Games, a TV broadcasted deathmatch. When Katniss Everdeen is chosen for the Hunger Games she realizes how much she values her unwealthy, sorrowful life.  Let the games begin...

The year is 2021 and the world has become a radioactive wasteland. Many of the humans of Earth have migrated to Mars. Androids, manmade robots that are similar in look to humans, emigrate from Mars to escape slave labor. These particular androids are captured by bounty hunters and "retired." Bounty hunter, Rick Deckard, is assigned to hunt six of these highly intelligent androids. This may seem like a simple task. This, however, is will be his most difficult assignment yet.

It is hard for me to believe that an author who lived during the '50s could possess the inventiveness that Philip K. Dick does. This book is depressing, but it is also very hard to put down. Due to the adult content, I would only recommend this book to readers thirteen and older.
