Flowers in the Attic
V.C. Andrews
10/10 (My favorite book)
I have read this book before, and it always mesmerizes you. I can read the first chapter over and over again and not get bored. The author got so into this book that she put herself through what the characters went through in the book just to get a better idea on what she was writing about. It has the perfect amount of pages, it is not too long nor short. I would recommend this book to anyone. It ties with The Stand as my favorite book. It was followed by three sequels and a prequel, and none of them disappoint. If you read this book it will change you.
The Dead Zone
Stephen King
4.5/10 (Not his best work)
After reading like ten other Stephen King novels, this one is really poor. This isn't my least favorite Stephen King book (Christine takes that title) but it wasn't very him. This book isn't very out there and I think will surely become an unknown Stephen King book about fifty years down the road when he achieves that "immortal author" status. It just doesn't have that same scary feeling you get when you read them at night. I was terrified of The Shining and IT and even Carrie.
Wuthering Heights
Emily Bronte
8/10 (The beginning is hard to understand though)
I had this list for summer reading and this was on it. When of my friends said it was one of her favorite books, so I gave it a whirl. It was hard to understand, but towards the middle, it got really good and the last third of the book really intrigues me. After I finished it, I would give it maybe it six out of ten. However, I reread the first five chapters, and immediately the whole book just clicked. Now I can see why this is a classic.
The Exorcist
William Peter Blatty
7.5/10 (A case where the movie is better than the book)
I watched the movie first and there was a lot of stuff I didn't understand so I decided to read the book. After I read the book, I thought it was good, and it made the movie a whole lot better too. Even better than the book, which came out first.
