Neal Shusterman is an awesome writer,this are the books I liked the most:
Red Rider's Hood (Dark Fusion)
Book Description
Red rides around his tough urban neighborhood in his blood red Mustang. It satisfies his urge to wander, and it usually keeps him safe from the gangs in town, the Wolves and the Crypts. But when Red's grandmother is mugged by some members of the Wolves, Red can no long sit on the sidelines. He decides to join the Wolves as a pledge so he can learn how to defeat them. Soon he uncovers their terrible secret: they are werewolves with a thirst for human blood. Instead of feeling horrified, Red envies the Wolves' freedom and power. Even as he trains to kill them- under an unlikely but cunning werewolf hunter-he has come to see them as packmates. Finally he is faced with a choice at the next full moon: take up the Wolves' murderous ways, or take them down.
Unwind
Book Description
In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would "unwind" them Connor's parents want to be rid of him because he's a troublemaker. Risa has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev's unwinding has been planned since his birth, as part of his family's strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until their eighteenth birthday, they can't be harmed -- but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away.
In Unwind, Boston Globe/Horn Book Award winner Neal Shusterman challenges readers' ideas about life -- not just where life begins, and where it ends, but what it truly means to be alive.

School is finally ending and I finally got a new blog skin!!
but I'm kinda sad because I can't go out because of the flu,
oh but well at least I'm healthy.
On regards of the literature class:
I hate the exam, I can do a written exam and get at least a 7 but I can't speak on public, ćause I get very nervous and I don't like that we are going to be evaluated by our classmates because they are stupid and only stupid jokes get through their blockheads.
Homework: I liked our last homework, I think that's the only homework on the year that I enjoyed

exam 4
It was a difficult exam since we had to do a lot of research and for your information nations don't flatter themselves and say how many people they have tortured, and I don't know why you make us write about the exams if you don't really take into consideration what we say.
Seriously when someone says "Literature class" they all imagine a normal class in which the people taking the class analyze the texts and I can't say that we are developing "abilities" as you call them because we are not really doing anything in class. I learn more from what Gachuz says. To see the comment on the fifth exam you have to click where it says links and click where it says december.
