The Bad Beginning
If you enjoy stories that fill us with unsurpassed beauty and happy endings, I am sorry to say that that if you picked this book you are picking out the wrong book entirely. For this book has no happy ending. Even though the Baudelaire children are quick-witted and clever their lives are filled with misery and woe. In this book they encounter a horrible villain, itchy clothes, and cold porridge. If you do not have the guts to read such a book, it would be best if you find another book to read unless you dare to read this tragic tale.

Dogsong by Gary Paulsen
Dogsong is a good kind of survival book. I would recommend this book to a type of outdoors kind of person. It is about a boy named Russel who is tired of waking up every morning to his dad coughing and hearing the sound of snowmobiles. He leaves his house and goes to a guy's house whose name is Oogruck. Oogruck is a very old fasion kind of guy. He wants the world to be like it was in the old days, without snowmobiles or guns. He said that when someone killed an animal, it was because they wanted to die. When you kill them with guns, they don't really have a choice to die. He also said that when you killed a animal you would have a song that you would sing. Russel wanted to learn what his song was.
He started off on his journy to live off the land. He didn't ride a snowmobile, he had a dog sled. The weapon he used was a bow an arrow and a harpoon. Then after awhile on his journey, he started having some dreams about a guy with a beard and long hair. After awihle in his first dream, Russel realized that he was the guy in his dream. The first dream involved wolves attacking him, but eventually he killed them and ate them. The second dream was about a mamoth that he killed and ate. After every time he killed an animal Russel in his dream would start singing a song. Russel didn't know the words, but he knew what they meant. eventually that became his song that he would sing in real life.

Loser
The book I read was Loser. I would recommend it to people who are not feeling so confident. The reason I say this is because once you see what Donald Zinkoff's life is like, it will make you feel alot better.
Loser is about a kid who never wins. Everything hedoes, he loses. At first, he or anyone else dosen't notice that he loses at eveything. He loves school. Homeschooled until first grade, Donald (or as every calls his by his last name Zinkoff) never really had any friends. Eventually, he found some. His first friend he got was in first grade. His name was Andrew. When he moved, Zinkoff didn't really have any friends until forth grade. His teacher gave him a end of the year test. One of the questions was "who is your best friend. Zinkoff realized that he did not have a best friend. Then he thought of someone. His name was Harry and he was very weird. That friendship didn't last very long. Later on in the book, he found Andrew again. He was in his grade and became popular and athletic. Then winter came. Zinkoff loved the winter. He loved sleding and snowball fights. One day he was playing in a snow ball fight and got done a little late. When he was walking back to his house, he saw a ambulance and a cop car. He found out that a little girl was missing that was his old friend when he was yonger. When he noticed that she was gone, he looked for her. Well actually, he looked for her for seven hours in the freezing cold. Eventually a truck driver saw him and took him back to is house. When he got home his parents were woried sick. Then his parents told him that they found the girl and the ambulance and the police were actually looking for him. The next day when he went to school he was waiting to be picked for basketball at recess. The two people who were captians were the most athletic people in their grade. One of them was Andrew. As usaual, Zinkoff was one of the last ones left. Normaly he wouldn't get chosen, but he was because Andrew was curious of what is was like during that seven hours of searching for the little girl, and he became a winner.
