BOOK OF THE WEEK REVIEW!!! Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Shiver (Wolves of Mercy Falls) by Maggie Stiefvater was one of the easiest books I have ever read!
Also a complete rip off of Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) by Stephanie Meyer. Too similar to even say otherwise the only difference is Maggie did not drag the book on and on and on and it was about wolves and not vampires... I know what you are thinking, there were wolves in Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) but these wolves are different. Effected by temperature, these wolves can not shift on there own will, it has to be cold outside.
If you are looking for a two-day quick read I would suggest this book and I would also see the intrigue of reading it as a Summer Reading book(for a 17 year old girl), but I feel like the teacher that chose this was just making the work load easy and maybe trying to get brownie points with her(assuming teacher is female) fall class. It may work but I feel like kids should be reading The Grapes of Wrath (Penguin Classics), The Importance Of Being Earnest, Candide, and other such classic writings. These books are made of real stuff.
It is part of a 3 part series so I am planning on finishing the series out and reviewing each but for now I think I will move to a more challenging read... A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 4).

If you are interested in reading any of the books I have mentioned just click on there titles and you can order them straight from amazon! AWESOME!!!
Pleas comment on how I make you feel below...
