Science Fiction: City of Bones by Clarissa Clare I would rate this book 5 stars. It starts out with a girl named Clary who heads to a Pandemonium club with her best friend, Simon. At the club, Clary witnesses a mass murder by three poeple that no other human witnessed. These people (Jace, Alex, and Isabelle) who murdered a helpless human were Shawdowhunters and were in fact, killing a demon incognito. The Shawdowhunters are poeple that are half angel and half human. They dicover that Clary has a rare power and no one knows the potential of it. They come together and face dangerous events that no citizen in New York can see and try to rid of Valentine who wants to overcome the world with demons. Soon, romance brews in as well as tragedy that will keep you reading.

I,Robot by Isaac Asimov = 1 Star = Placed a few hundred years into the future, robots are now the norm. Although they are outlawed for use on planet earth, they are used every else in the universe, helping humans survive in anyway possible. Whether it is getting energy or solving other machines problems, the robots are very helpful, sometimes to helpful, to this futuristic society. Using various episodes, with different robots posing a variety of threats and problems, and the way the humans solve or deal with these malfunctions, Asimov reveals present and possible future dilemmas that must be confronted. Things like what to do with all this information available and how to treat or handle technology when it comes in the form of something human-like. “ 'He was //not// no machine!' screamed Gloria, fiercely and ungrammatically. 'He was a //person// just like you and me and he was my //friend.//'” (Asimov 20). His solution is, essentially, humans suck, and it would probably be better if robots took over the world anyways. If you like reading a make believe story where humans are losing control of their technology, no over arching theme is explored just individual thoughts and ideas, and of lot outrageous comments are made about the human thought process, then this book is for you. Otherwise it should be read purely for entertainment purposes and even in that department it lacks interest. There is no timeless quality to this book it all. It was merely a guy's imagination about the future gone rampant. Each chapter separately may have some value; as to the book as a whole, there is no value in reading it.
