The Greaser's often get in fights with the rich-kid socs. The socs beat-up the Greaser's for fun. I thought this book was really well written. I loved reading it.

'Lobsters' by Tom Ellen and Lucy Wilson

This book is quirky, awkward  and very funny. It is about Hannah and Sam, and they are on a mission to find their soul mates over one summer before uni. After an awkward meeting at a party, (in a toilet) they hit it off. But then Hannah meets another guy, and Sam meets another girl. Are Hannah and Sam meant to be? Can love find its way? I would give this book 10 out of 10.  :)

"Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley

Frankenstein is a classic. It's very well written, and it makes you think. IT is full of metaphors, with philosophical questions. It's incredibly relevant for an eighteenth century novel.the story being told from two different points of view is an act of genius! It leaves your head in a twist, as both Frankenstein and his creation are kind loving, morale characters. a great read if you don't mind pondering unanswerable questions.
