The Clique... is crazy good! This book is totally a girls world! The author did an AMAZING job on making the book like something they girls would say and do! They have text messages and notes, just like the Sisterhood! The Sisterhood of the Traviling Pants is like this too... kinda. They both have this whole  connecting from a long distance and trying not the let enything come between them, but things like that happen all the time... Everyday, everywhere.

The tone of If I Should Die Before I Wake changes through out the book. The overall tone is a sad and depressive sort of feel. In the beginning, the tone is always angry and/or sarcastic. But the tone of this book changes! Toward the end, the books tone changes from angry and sarcatic to understanding. JUST LIKE I PREDICTED! I knew that Hilary would end up changing her mind on the way she feels about Chana, and this only proves it more!

I know why my book is called If I Should Die Before I Wake! Because the Neo-Nazi is have a dream or a vision about everything Chana is going through. Therefore, Hilary (Neo- Nazi) has to make sure that Chana doesnt die because she thinks if Chana dies than so does she, Hilary, or her spirt dies with Chana.

The Clique has so many stareotypes in it! The new girl is weird and out of her place at this school. The popular girls are just so amazing and everybody wants to be there friends, just like in Mean Girls. The movie is about a new girl from Africa and how shes a nobody until the "Plastics" decide to take her in under their wings. Just like in this book, I hope that the popular chicks will accept the new girl just the way she is. After all, thats all anybody cares about.

I read chaprter 16 of Stephanie Myers Eclipse. It was about after the vampires and the werewolves have planned to put there differences aside and come together to protect Bella. This was when I relized that Bella will always have a a shoulder to cry on and someone that will always be there for her. She is very lucky that Edward will protect her no matter what! I've always wanted someone that would do that for me! Bella is SO lucky!!
