Since its still in the morning and I haven't done anything except eating breakfast I am going to talk about the book i've been reading for the past 3 days. When my father first handed it to me I was astonished by how thick the book was (pages it had). Before I could give it back my dad was already helping my sister with her book. Eventually I decided to just get it over with. The title is called "Out of the Easy", which I don't get really get since the book doesn't relate anything to that. However, maybe its supposed to come later in the book and I just have to read it. Anyway, the back of the book has recommendations from the New York Times and Washington Post. I'm assuming that means the book must be pretty good.
One comment from the Washington Post says, " Few books are beautifully written, fewer still are important; this novel is both". I can't quote the other recommendation because there is a bar code blocking it, so sorry. However, there is just something that I can't understand. The newspaper articles make the quotes so authentic (not fake) but how can they do that for every book? I mean, there must be other books just as good or better than this one yet they still give such quotes that make the book seem so good. I know for a fact that this book isn't the best because I've read one that had 4 recommendations but that doesn't mean its trash. Its just means that people haven't taken the time to read it or its not their style.
That's the reason James Patterson books are almost always "New York Times Bestseller". He makes his books funny and full of adventure, also most of the time the main character is a teenager so other kids can relate. I feel like I'm going a bit off topic because the author of "Out of the Easy" isn't "James Patterson, but "Ruta Sepetys". Apparently she has made only 3 books and two of them are really popular (I think). The book that I'm reading right now isn't popular but her other two best sellers titles are "Between Fifty Shades of Grey" and "Salt to the Sea". I would say that ranking the popularity between these three it would be "Out of the Easy", "Between Fifty Shades of Grey", and "Salt to the Sea".
Now I want to give you a summary of what I've read so far and that is roughly around 130 pages. A 17 year old girl by the name of "Josie" is the daughter of a prostitute. She lives in the "Quarter" of New Orleans and works as a helper and assistant to a woman by the name of "Willie" how runs a place were men pay for sex. Josie helps run a book store and doesn't wish to associate with prostitution, fortunately Willie and the other woman don't mind if she doesn't as long as she helps from time to time. While working in the store she meets a man who decides to buy two books. A few days later, the man is killed in a club. Police come to her house to ask her questions about the man.
Later on a woman by the name of "Charlette" comes into the store and asks to buy a book for her father. Before Charlette leaves ehe tells Josie of a college called "Smith" that Josie wishes to go to one day. However, will this police investigation ruin her chances? Thats what I've read so far but now I'll read about Google News. The one story that I am particularly interested in is about a cloned sheep named "Dolly". Dolly is a cloned sheep that was created in 1996 with the media all over it. People were creating stories about how we could clone humans and other livestock. However, 6 years later Dolly died and many people had reasons why. One reason was that Dolly was created from a 6 year old sheep so its age was combined with Dolly. Another reason was by scientists stating that Dolly had lung disease, but which one is it?
