If you had to pick any 2 books which would you pick because I have to read two books over the summer and write two reports. I don't know which two I want to read. I like books that have a shocking ending, and I like books that have action and mystery. Which two would be right from me. I need HELP! Thanks

Well... can you tell me which books are good and easy to read.

Why are you letting someone dictate that you read 2 books? Get control of your life, and education. You ought to be reading at least one book a week, not wimping out, and leaving the reading to others who want to get ahead of you.

Bob Pursley is right -- read them all!!

Actually, I'm just trying to get other people's opinions of the books that I posted above.

The only opinion that counts is YOURS -- the reader.

Look all of them over -- and choose two or three to start. As both BobPursley and Writeacher stated -- read them all!

And here's an excellent list to make your way through -- no need to limit yourself to the easy ones!!

From your description of liking books with shocking endings, action, and mystery, I would recommend the following two books:

1. "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime" by Mark Haddon: This book combines mystery and an unexpected ending. It follows the story of a teenager with autism who investigates the mysterious death of his neighbor's dog. It is known for its unique narrative style and surprising revelations.

2. "Maus: A Survivor's Tale" by Art Spiegelman: While not fitting the action genre, this graphic novel has a gripping and shocking narrative about the author's father's experience as a Holocaust survivor. It provides a unique perspective on history and leaves a lasting impact.

To choose between the two, consider your preference for format (novel or graphic novel) and the specific themes that interest you the most. Remember, it's important to choose books that you find intriguing and enjoyable to read as it will make your summer reading and report writing more engaging.
