Beautiful Imperfection Book Review

  Warning there are spoilers.


     This is the third book in the Mimi series.  I have to say that this one was a real page turner for me.  I had to constantly find out what was going happen next in the book and had to keep going until I was done.  It was very well written and the characters are continually developing as the story progresses.
     The story takes place after the plane crash in the second book.  It tells from Mimi's point of the the pain that she was going through being in the hospital and then trying to get better but struggling with the pain and being dependent on pain medication.  Her boyfriend James who is in the military is shipped out to a foreign country and Mimi misses him that she turns to the medication as a way to cope with it.  She then finds out while visiting James that he has been unfaithful to her and crushed returned home.  That is when her drug problems get worse and Mimi ends up putting herself in very dangerous situations.  Her friend Justin tries to help her as best he can through all that has been going on with her.
     My favorite part in the whole book is when Mimi finding out that James was cheating on her was able to stand up to him.  She was able to tell him how she felt and that the relationship was over.  I was secretly happy this happened because I have been sort of rooting for her and Justin to get together but I'm sure there will be a few that were hoping that it would work out and I was one of those at the end of the second book that was hoping that James and Mimi would work out.
     I recommend this book to anyone that is really into the romance genre or if you are just in the mood for something that is different from what you normally read but doesn't go overboard with being too mushy.  I love that this book doesn't have the overwhelming mushy on the romance and throws different situations that keep the story interesting and guessing what is going to happen next.

Ghost in the Machine by Patrick Carman

     This book is a good young adult book that incorporates technology in with the reading experience.  It is different from how you read other books.  Throughout the book you are told to go to a website that has a password that you use that is in the book and you watch a short little video that goes along with the book.  The person that made the book actually has actors in the videos act out what the main character is writing about in the book.
     The book is more like a journal that is being written by a teenager named Ryan.  Through out the book he is writing about a secret society called the Crossbones and about a building called the Dredge.  The Dredge is being torn down but there are a lot of secrets that have happened on it and Ryan and his Friend Sarah are trying to figure it out.  While trying to figure out the mystery of the Dredge they are chased by what they feel is the ghost of one of the workmen that died on the Dredge.
     What I really liked about the book was that at certain times there would be a website that you would have to go to and a password that you would have to put in.  After you put the password in it would show a short little video of actors playing the characters that Ryan is writing about in his journal.  I love doing that and seeing how we are so into technology I love how the author incorporated it into the book.
    I highly recommend this to any mystery fanatic, young adult book reader, and teenager that loves to read.  I believe that with the reading and being able to go online and see the videos.  I really like reading this book and look forward to more books following this type of way of keeping readers interested in books.
