Hey. My book is Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde by Robert Lewis Stevenson. I chose this book because it was the only book in the school library out of my choices.

Well, from what I have read so far, its been mostly just building up the story line. So no real action has happened yet. But, what has happened is that Mr. Utterson, who is a lawyer, is like investigating some sort of incident that happened one night. It was a weird incident too, some girl was getting chases by this character but he is really just walking and then she falls and he just walks over her and ignores her. Then her family comes and helps and gets him to pay for her injuries, blah, blah, blah. What is important is that the character is a man know as Mr. Hyde and Mr. Utterson is trying to figure out who he is.

I am actually really liking this book so far, it is really intriguing me to find out how Mr. Utterson is gonna find out who Mr. Hyde is and if anybody is gonna die or something. I have already heard of the story line of this book so i know that Mr. Hyde is Dr. Jekyll's creation from a potion thathe drinks. But, I thought that Mr. Hyde was some sort of like monstrous creature, but he is really just a normal looking man in his physical features, but has a strange sense of evil around him. I can't wait to read more.

Okay, basically all that has happened is that Mr. Hyde killed a man and then disapeared and with his disappearance Dr. Jekyll became more social and lively. Later on though Dr. Jekyll becomes more secluded again and finally he doesn't ever come out of his cabinet. Poole, Dr. Jekyll's butler, comes to Mr. Utterson's house to get him to come back with him because something is wrong with Dr. Jekyll. They find out that it isn't Dr. Jekyll at all but Mr. Hyde, they break in and find that Mr. Hyde had killed himself while they were breaking in. There were notes that Dr. Jekyll had wrote to Mr. Utterson and he is about to read them in the next Chapters.

This book is really intriguing me. I think that my idea of this book had been very skewed because of movies that I have watched with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in it, because I didn't realize that Mr. Hyde dies! I mean, what the heck! Anyways, I am very curious as to what is written in the letters to Mr. Utterson, I'm thinking that is basically gonna be Dr. Jekyll telling how he becomes Mr. Hyde, but that's just my guess. Well, that's all I got, I can't wait to keep on reading this book!

__**Blog #3**__ All right, so as I said in the last summary that Mr. Hyde had killed himself, well, I don't think that he actually did, because later on in the story he appears and changes back into Dr. Jekyll. But, what happened was that Mr. Utterson was supposed to gather all of Dr. Jekyll's supplies and take them to his house. When he did that Hyde showed up and drank the potion and turned back into Jekyll right in front of Utterson. Then, Dr. Jekyll proceeds to tell Mr. Utterson that Hyde is basically taking over and that this may be the last time that Jekyll will ever be present.

I was really caught off guard when Mr. Hyde was still alive, because I was sure that it was explicitly had said that he was dead, but I guess not. Oh, well. It was a pretty cool concept of how Mr. Hyde was like taking of control of Dr. Jekyll until Jekyll would be no more, sad, but still pretty neat. Well, I rather enjoyed this book. I give it a 8 out of 10 only because in some spots it gets a little boring.

Hey. My second book is And Then There Were None by Agatha Cristie. I chose this book because other students in the class have read it and it just sparked my curiosity.

__**Blog #1**__ I haven't read all that far into the book. So basically all they have done is introduce the characters and such. Also a gramophone went off and said that everyone was convicted of killing some people. Kinda spooky.

First and for most I think that the person who is gonna end up being the one who kills everyone is someone I would never suspect. So I don't have a real guess yet, but I would have to say either Mr. Blore, General Macarthur, Philip Lombard, or Emily Brent. Quite a wide range of guesses I know but like I said I'm not that far into the book yet and only have small amounts of clues to work with. I am predicting that somebody is going to be dieing soon, very soon. I can't wait to read some more!

Well three people have died so far. Anthony Marston, Mrs. Rogers, and General Macarthur have all died. They have all died according to the way the Indian poem said it would happen. They have also searched the island in hopes to find a person hiding there who was killing everyone, but they had no luck and decided that it was one of the 7 remaining people on the island.

So far, I am really enjoying this book. I am always excited to see it. I totally predicted that Mrs. Rogers and General Macarthur were gonna die. I now think that I can get rid of some of the people who can't be the murderer. First Vera Claythorne, Philip Lombard, Mr. Blore, and Mr. Rogers. Those are the four that I am almost sure can not be the murderer. That leaves just Dr. Armstrong, Lawrence Wargrave, and Emily Brent. My top two guesses are Wargrave and Dr. Armstrong. Because the doctor was always were the victim had been. The first two also died with poison or medication so that points to him and he was the one who went and checked on the General. For Wargrave I suspect him because he is the one in charge and I don't know that just seems to be the one that would least likely to be suspected.

__**Blog # 3**__ So it turns out that Wargrave was the one that killed everyone. He was so sly about it. He pretended to kill himself so that no one would suspect him anymore and so that he could kill Dr. Armstrong very easily. In the end he ended up killing himself too so that no one would know what even happened.

AWESOME! It was a great book. It got a little spoiled because Pierce told me about the ending. Very upsetting, but it was still all good. I really did not expect anything. I thought Wargrave could be the killer, but then he ended up dying and it trough me off. But yea it was a very good book. I would recommend this to anybody.
