This book is an autobiography about the best american sniper there has ever been. The man in the book is called Chris Kyle and he talks about everything that he had to do in order to become an american sniper. In the book Chris also shows how difficult and stressful it was for him before he became the greatest american sniper.

Critical Evaluation: 
I would give this book a 9.5 out of 10 because it has a lot of action and keeps you very engaged. There are some boring parts in the book but you need to read those boring parts because they help you understand the book better. I would say it is a very inspirational book.

The Third Twin by CJ Omololu
















Carlos Diaz

Plot Summary

This book is about a girl named Lexi, and her identical twin named Ava whom persist messing with their childhood made up sister. They named the third sister Alicia, and when Lexi and Ava cause trouble, they point to Alicia. Now they're in high school, and the girls use Alicia for dating guys and do things they would never think of doing otherwise. It's all fun and games until one of the guys that Lexi and Ava go out with using the identity of Alicia winds up murdered, and the DNA evidence found by the police leads to Alicia. The made up third twin. Both girls claim that they have done nothing wrong, but the investigators believe otherwise. Lexi and Ava decide to keep using Alicia identity when the cops arrive at their door hoping that it will pass away soon, and someone is simply pulling a sick joke, or it was a mistaken identity to whom the traffic ticket to a car that neither of them own is issued to. Who could the killer be? Is there a chance that the triplet does exist?

Critical Evaluation

I would rate this book a 10/10. This book would be deserving of this rating, because this book has a perfect amount of suspense and mystery, and has a great pace for a mystery. This book will have any mystery book lover wanting to read faster in order to figure out along with the character "who done it." This book will keep any reader intregued, because of the many plot twist, and unpredictable ending. This book uses lots of efficient techniques such as foreshadowing and builds up suspence, without giving away too much. It also has a great balance of funny moments and romance on the side.

Predator by Richard Whittle













Owen Winkler


Plot Summary
Predator is the story of how the first military drone was created. The cast of characters includes Kareem, who is the best inventor in the Israeli Air Force.  He leaves his research firm to come to the United States to start developing his drone in a garage. Pretty soon, he’s being backed by DARPA. Along with Kareem, the Blues, two brothers educated in Ivy League schools, go down to South America to work on their own drone on a banana plantation in Nicaragua.  

Both groups have different ideas for a drones and different approaches to create, test, and fly the machines.  The two groups offer different aspects of our modern day drone vehicles. 

Critical Evaluation

The book has a lot of interesting stories, like when the Blues Brothers are going to Nicaragua and are forced to land in Cuba or they will be shot down. As soon as they land, they are taken into custody by guys in machine guns.  This is an exciting story that also informs the reader about drones, their history and their current use.
