You Can You Will By Joel Osteen: Alex's Book Summary

You Can You Will

Joel Osteen

By: Alex Aldape

Joel Osteen's book You Can You Will is a type of a "motivational book" by making yourself a better person. Joel Osteen is a pastor in Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas by doing his speeches in front of thousands of people. The beginning of the book is talking about a actor in the 1980s-present that was homeless at one point of his life for awhile. He lived in his old and broken down car that he owns that's overlooking Los Angeles on a hill where he dreams about himself being the biggest actor in the world. His name today is Jim Carrey, he took himself a check out for $10,000,000 and put it into his wallet so he can have his dream in his pocket so he doesn't give up on it. What this book is explaining in the first few chapters is that you can have a picture of your dream printed out for you to see and you can put that picture anywhere, so when you wakeup you can see that dream everyday and not lose focus or confident on it.
      My thoughts on the book is that it can help anyone out in there future and keep your dream on your mind. I really like this book more than any other book because this one talks about your future and goals that you want to accomplish. I want to accomplish my goals myself and this book motivates me to not forget about my dream and my goals. I had this book recommended to me by my sister because she had read the first book by Joel Osteen, I would also recommend this book to anyone else because if you have goals you want to achieve then this is the book to make you concentrate on it. This book was a nonfiction book so if anyone enjoys a this type of genre than this is a thumbs up for you and you will enjoy it. 

Were Were Liars By Emily Lockhart: Alex's Book Summary

We Were Liars

In the book We Were Liars I usually like every book I read but We Were Liars is a book I really enjoyed and I would really recommend it to anyone that might enjoy it. In this book I feel that this is one of the books by the author that really made her famous for her. We Were Liars was taken place in Beechwood Island, Massachusetts USA on there own little private island. The main family that takes place is the Sinclair family, the Sinclair family even has it's own phrase they say "No one is a criminal, No one is an addict and No one is a failure". That saying is what proves the who the Sinclair family is. In the beginning of the book Cadence Sinclair Eastman gives a little description about her life and what her surroundings are. Cadence explains her whole life throughout the book are also shares how they got into there own personal island. Cadence is main character throughout the whole book telling her own story about her life and her families life. 
     Towards the end of the book Cadence and her cousins family had a rivalry between each other. During the summer Cadence and Gat set fire to the big house to finish off the rivalry. Now that I gave off a lot of information in the book it's now your turn to read the book. I really liked how the book started by giving off a map of the family tree and also finishing off the book in a weird way that I would've never of known. I totally recommend this book to any reader because I felt that in this book it started off as an adventure type then it transitioned to a action book towards the ending which is interesting.
