Decent Essays

Title: City of Bones
Author: Cassandra Clare, No I have not read other books by this author.
Genre: The genre of this book is fiction. I think kids my age would like to read this book because this book involves teens and it shows some scenes in which teenagers now can somewhat relate to. I do typically read these kinds of books when i'm assigned to do something I have to be interested in. If it wasn't for books like these I honestly probably would not read books at all. If i'm being honest I hardly read. Although I do like these specific books by Cassandra, but I’m picky as to what I will read.
Characters: The main characters of the book were Clary, Fray, and Jace Wayland. Clary finds out about the shadow-hunter world, which leads to her mom …show more content…

She perseveres through challenges that no normal mundane could do. She shows strength persistence even when the challenges are overbearing.
Quotes: The parts that I enjoyed best were when Clary started understanding why Jace is the way he is, for example, “The boy never cried again, and he never forgot what he'd learned: that to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.”
My evaluation: While reading the City of Bones, I realized a few points that really stuck with me. The first one was how Cassandra Clare would always keep me guessing. Whenever I would try and assume would happen next, it never turned out the way you would seem. This worked really well for this book because I would want to keep finishing it because I would want to know what happened next. That is a really good strategy to use for other books, but it could ruin them if the author gets off topic with it and goes off of plot for making sense. The major theme that I have stated before in this report is on how to handle new and challenging obstacles in life. This is really effective because it could be applicable in real life, even though it is fiction. This book appealed to me on the more emotional side since all of Clary’s life, her mom has lied to her to protect her, yet it ended up doing more harm than good.
