The Fall of The House of Usher

I don't like this book, well, I do, but it's scary! The Fall of the House of Usher was very full of suspense and excellent, let me repeat, excellent word choices! Edgar Allen Poe is just "cool" like that. In this book, each sentence sent chills down my spine, and I felt trapped like Madeline. It was scary cool, actually. I've never felt that while reading a book, so that's a first.
In our english class, we were working on a chart for this short story, and it was actually pretty fun to go deeper into the book and find its real meanings. I really liked this story, and normally, I don't favor Poe's weird stories. I would reccomend reading this story if you're up for a little scare.

The Night Children Response #1

The Night Children, by Alexander Gordon Smith, is kind of a "side book" to the Lockdown Series. Can I do a response about what the author is doing? Well, he's releasing the rest of the Lockdown series sometime next year, which I'm ecstatic about. The Night Children is about the Head of Furnace and how he came to be. Now, I'm just starting the book, so there won't be a second response for this week.
This book isn't the greatest I've read. It's not full of suspense like the lockdown series is, but it's sort of interesting, in a way. But, I do feel like I'm part of the army forces in the book, trying to get away from the enemy. I won't tell you who, because it'll give the whole series away. It's full of great word choice and very thought out sentence fluency. I would reccomend reading this book just because it gives you that extra information about the head of Furnace.
