together with a song...

This week i finished the Last Days of Summer A Novel, by Steve Kluger. Charlie decided that he needed to join the army because of pearl harbor. Joey's friend was able to get out of the concentration camp because Charlie personally went to President Rosevelt and told him that this family was in a concentration camp and shouldnt be. Than Joey's friend played baseball for a little leage team, and when Charlie told the press that he was going to be a star one day, they had to keep him on the team, even though he was horrible at baseball. Joey and Charlie continued to write back and forth. They came up with a way so that Charlie and Stukes could tell Joey where they were going to be stationed by in the second sentence using the first letters of all the words to make the name of it. Once they got moved out oversee's, Charlie sent Joey a letter saying that they wernt going to let him actually fight in combat because he was a big star and didnt want him to die, so they made him do the type writing job. One day Stuke, Charlies best friend, and the other soldiers in his group were under attack and called for backup, but the army decided that it was to much of a risk to go save them. When Charlie heard that, he stole a boat and went to save them himself. When he got there, he let everyone get back onto the boat before him, and at the last second was shot dead. Everyone else was saved. The book ends with Joey explaining that all of the leters before this he was showing his son Chucky. He ended up marrying his gradeschool love intrest rachel, that Charlie helped him to get.





I then started reading Brisinger by Christopher Paolini, the third book in the Eragon Series. So far Eragon has envaded Galborax's castle, helped get Rorans finace, Katrina, back, killed all of the Ra'zac, killed Katrina's father who betrayed everyone and told Galborax where everything was and where Eragon was hiding. He got away without getting to badly injured, and is now back in the Varden and is being treated like a hero like usual.



If i had to compare my reading this week to a song i would compare it to Here comes goodbye by Rascal Flatts. This song would compare with The Last Days of Summer, because it was kindof like the whole book was Joey's last goodbye to Charlie.
