Summary: a pretty good book
Review: The book is a great murder mystery, but the pace is kind of slow. The best part is when Cici almost gets shot by the killer and is then almost murdered by him. Not to spoil the ending, you have to read this book!

Summary: Boring Summer
Review: The book is not as bad as some I've read, but the plot is pretty predictable and the ending leaves a lot to be desired. If you want a good mystery I would read a book by Caroline B. Cooney, such as Wanted! or Losing Christina.

Summary: Unforgettable Summer
Review: THE TWISTED SUMMER Having just read the book Twisted Summer by Willo Davis Roberts I can say that it is a fairly good and enjoyable book. When Laura asked me if I wanted to read it. I shrugged off and said no. After trying different books like The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare and several others; having no choice I was left to this one. I started reading it and couldn't stop; I read it, and finished it in three days. That is why I regret not having read it before. One lesson that I learned after I read this book is to never judge a book by its cover. I saw the dull and boring cover so that told me it was going to be boring, but I learned after reading it wasn't. It is a story about a 14-year-old girl who hopes for a romantic summer at the beach but instead finds herself trying to solve the case of a murder which occurred the year before. This book grabbed my attention very much. Soon after starting it I found myself doing in my head, a chart like the one that Cici developed to solve the case. This is a book full of suspense, which grabs the readers attention since they begin it. I think that many people would enjoy this book as much as I worshiped it. Each character in the book had a unique personality that made it seem like it was real. In this book I particularly liked to characters. Lina was the mom of Jack and Brody, the kid who was accused as a murder the year before and went to 25 years of jail. To me she represented a perfect mother. She was nice and enjoyable to everyone even though she had gone through a lot of pain. She was loyal to her son and knew that he wasn't guilty. Lina was able to recognize people for who they were. Her love for people did not end, and she continued to live even though her heart was torn. Cici and her loved each other and she still respected the judge after not helping her solve the case. I also liked the judge, even though he had to do with blackmailing he had a point. He was covering for Molly because he knew how much it would hurt her if she had to go through what happened. Molly trusted him not to tell anyone that accidentally she had killed someone with the car. He was also guilty sometimes like for shooting above Cici's head to scare her so she would back off. The judge could have also changed things when he figured it wasn't Brody; but he didn't and left him too be guilty. The judge was a character who had a mischief personality; you really didn't know what he was up to. Lastly, I was very fond of Molly but sadly after her death I couldn't get to meet her very well. This book had millions of characters that made the story so interesting but these are my favorite. The fact that this is such a great book makes me only have a few complaints. I would have preferred Molly to be alive not to die. Even though because Molly died made each of the characters personality change. I know that she needed to die, but it was sad and depressing after she died. I only got to meet her a bit but by Cici's description I knew that she was an extraordinary woman. I also think that it would have been better if at the end of the book more information about what happened to the judge could have been revealed. It could have ended with everyone forgiving the judge for example. After they knew that the person who really was guilty was Trafton they could have said what happened to him. For my opinion the ending of the book wasn't as I expected it to be. I agree that the author must let the reader imagine things, but for me on mysteries this doesn't work. In mysteries more of an answer and a resolution must take place at the end. Apart from that the book was really enthusiastic and fun. In my opinion many people would enjoy this book. It suits many ages but probably people that are bigger than 11 years old. This is because this story is told from a fourteen-year-old girl. This makes us view it in her point. For someone to understand her it is necessary that they are not very young and mature. I also think that if people greater than fourteen read it, they will get bored. As Cici mentions in her book that the big kids always thought of them of babies. If someone who is too big reads it probably their reaction will be that it is very boring and lame. I would classify his book into mysteries. It has a lot of suspense and it is one of those books that grabs your attention very quickly. This book is also realistic in every single way. All of the resolution, climax, and characters seemed real. People who enjoy realistic mysteries, this is the perfect book for you. The major lesson in this book to me is: never give up. Cici was persistent on her love for Jack and tried to help him. Unlike Jack, Cici continued on the mystery and did not stop even if it included her life. She was determined to make Jack's family joyful again. She knew how much it meant for them to let Brody free and proved it to the world. Many tragic things where also happening. Mollys death was something that had a very big impact on her. When someone "tried" to kill her, it didn't matter she knew she couldn't turn back. I also think that another lesson I learned was trust. Cici had to include everyone and had to learn who to trust. Even though it was difficult she couldn't give up. This book is a fantasting book form where I learned a lot from it. Most people would enjoy this book so I recommend you all to read it.

Summary: Suspense!
Review: This book is for all those readers who love suspense! I had been out of touch with reading for a while, but I read Twisted Summer for a class. It is about Cici, a 14-year old girl who is about to have the summer of her life. She and her family missed going to their cabin at Crystal Lake in Michigan the summer before. She is now ready to pick things back up and maybe have a chance at romance with 17-year old Jack. After she gets there, changes have occured and she learns that Jack's older brother, Brody is in prison for murdering another girl at the lake. Jack and Cici both believe he's innocent and they begin to investigate. Cici is playing a dangerous game. Although she came to make Jack see her as one of the big kids, Cici is no longer the girl she came as. I could not put this book down. It had great character description. It definitely lives up to the title with all the twists and turns!

But her crushes brother is in prison for it and she, the mother of her crush, and her crush don't think he killed the girl. JUST READ IT, IT's REALLY GOOD.
