Best Book You've Ever Read

What is the best book you've ever read? How does it begin? What engaged you as a reader?

  1. I can't say that there is just one, but I love Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. It begins with a question "Why are you running?" It's both a literal and figurative question with descriptive language woven throughout the story. I particularly enjoy how the plot ebbs and flows with action, suspense, and drama!

  2. My favorite book i've ever read is My Brother Sam Is Dead. I don't have the book because i read it in fith grade so i dont know how it starts. I engaged in it because it was really good and i could never really put the book down and it kept grabbing my attention, like each chapter would end as a cliff hanger and make you need to rad on.

  3. Harry Potter For Deff.
    Its Captivating, Magical, And It Will Blow Your Socks off! I Love all the books starting but the first one starts out like; Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
    I Know a lot of the book are long but they are worth it and great! The First one is not the greatest one the ones after the 1st are the best but if you take the time to read them they are ahmazinngg! These books are so wonderful because of the never-want-to-put-it-down feeling, the suspense, the originality of the book, and the story behind the book:)

  5. My favorite book of all time would have to be sisterhood of the traveling pants, it hooked me from the begining. The charators are just so interesting. The sadest part is when Bailey dies of cancer, i have probably read this book about three times and i used it for a QVVC in reading class.Why I like so much? I like beacsue it as based on a true story.

  6. Twilight!
    I'd never given much thought to how I would die — though I'd had reason
    enough in the last few months — but even if I had, I would not have
    imagined it like this.
    I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the
    hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me.
    Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved.
    Noble, even. That ought to count for something.
    I knew that if I'd never gone to Forks, I wouldn't be facing death now. But,
    terrified as I was, I couldn't bring myself to regret the decision. When
    life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not
    reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
    The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.
    It draws me in...

  7. Best book i've ever read is Heartbeat by Sharon Creech. My friends and me started making a book club and i found this book and they had 3 copies so we decided to reawd it. So everynight we would all read 3 chapters and then every friday talk about what happened in the chapters. But anyway I love it cause its a poem book and she makes the sounds and talks about the hospital and how the mom is going to have a baby. Its a great book! Highly recommended!
