I have just read Samiha's post about Dreamland (http://samihasdarkrose.blogspot.com/2011/12/dreamland-by-sarah-dessen.html) and I like it. I have also noticed that a few people posted on her wall saying that they want to read the book she is talking about. Right in the beginning, she recommends the book to teenagers who are maturing (ages between 15-18.) I think, I have never recommended a book on my posts before and now, I believe, I should do it. Samiha has a specific style in her postings that I haven’t seen in many people’s blogs. She writes a paragraph about what happens in the book and then another paragraph about her thoughts and opinions. I like how she expresses her feelings: shortly but strongly. When she learns that Rogerson caused Caitlin addiction to smoking and drugs, she immediately felt sad and started to worry for Caitlin. When she talks about abusing her, you can feel that Samiha gets even angry. Then Samiha returns to the last brutal beating Caitlin received and how Rogerson was arrested. She is surprised that Caitlin tried to help Rogerson and was begging the police to not take him away. At the end, Samiha gives her opinion about Caitlyn and the book overall. She feels shocked and mad, just like me when I read that part. Her strong feelings about that raise my interest about the book. Although from the story I am guessing that this book is more for girls than for boys, I think I would like to read this book. I really enjoyed reading this post and I think I have learned something new as well. Definitely in my posts I should evaluate the entire book I am talking about, recommend for other readers and share my opinion for discussion.
