Book Review: Beastly

What is love? Something that people say when they have strong feelings for one another right? You're sort of right. In Alex Flinn's book Beastly, she opens your eyes and heart to something called true love. This book takes a story like the movie made in 1991 Beauty and the Beast and combines it with modern time.

This story takes place in a high school, where popularity thrives and people considered "ugly" are a joke. A ninth-grader named Kyle Kingsbury who is incredibly popular and rich. Kyle gets everything and every girl he wants. He lives with his father who he rarely gets to see due to the fact that Kyle’s father always works. Kyle’s life seems perfect, with his hot girlfriend Sloane Hagen. A girl every guy dreamed of having, yeah Kyle had it all. Until one day, Kendra Hilferty comes into his life. After Kendra comes into his life, Kyle is forced to leave home; his father will not even look at him, his once love of his life will not even talk to him. But what Kyle does not know is he is going to meet the one. A girl so amazing that it will change Kyle Kingsbury into someone else.

This book will make you laugh, make you cry, make you sad and all over know the meaning of love. I never thought this book could have such an impact on my feelings but it did. If you like to feel your heart race and your eyes tear up from a story that shows you what true love really means, then read this!

I recommend this book to whoever likes to read love stories! This is an amazing book for a teenager and anyone would enjoy this book.

Can you fall 80 feet and live?

According to an article on www.wusa9.com that is titled "Boy falls 80 feet, lives" informs us that on Thursday in Takoma Park, Md around 3:15 pm a 4-year-old boy fell 80 feet from an apartment window on the 8800 block of Piney Branch Road.
9News' Ken Molestina has reported that a branch is what possibly saved a deathly fall from a 9th floor apartment window. It is still unknown of the fact if the child was home alone when he fell.
The 4-year-old boy was rushed to Children's Hospital, according to Montgomery Police Department, that the young child was in serious condition. Police say that detectives from Family Crimes Division and Child Protective Services are investigating the fall and are looking into the fact whether the 4-year-old was alone at the time of the fall or not.
What kind of parent leaves their child unattended like this? I have never left my child alone. People like this should not be allowed to raise children. Im glad to know this boy gets a second chance at life not thanks to his parents. I hope and pray that the police discover the reason the child fell and arrest the parents for child endangerment.
My guess on the parents is that they probably fell asleep while the child was left unatended, and in result the child tumbled out the window. Thank goodness for the tree branch that broke his fall.
