 * Rating:** I rate this book as a 2 out of 5. I gave this book a two because it's not a style of writing i'm used or enjoy.
 * Wiki Reflections:** I really enjoy doing blogs rather than filling out reading logs because you get more connected with the book you're reading and other peers that are interested in what you're reading. Blogging has made it a lot easier to understand what i'm reading and to think about what i'm reading.


 * Entry three:** I'm currently almost done with my book, __The Halloween Tree__by Ray Bradbury, and am now on page 124. "Dangling from the tree were a dozen Halloween pinatas: devils, ghosts, skulls, witches that swayed in the wind." This may not be my favorite quote, but it does significantly explain the diversity of craziness this book contains.The main character, Tom Skelton and his friends, have had enough of the strange, creepy, supernatural things they not only have been seeing, but have been interacting with. This book is unsurprisingly creepy and gives you the chills. I would recommend this book to anyone that is willing to read a confusingly weird book with many different twists being included.


 * Entry two:** In my book, __The Halloween Tree__, I resently just finished page 75. This book is very unique compared to books I have read in my past. It's getting more suspensful but am proud to say... no nightmares yet. This book takes place in a town located in the Northern Midwest, celebrating a current Halloween. This book challenges you to read more and reconsider your opinion and stants on Halloween. There are many different characters in this novel; one including Tom Skelton which whom he is portrayed as a skeleton for the night of Trick or Treating. Interesting book so far.


 * Entry one:** I'm beginning to read the book __The Halloween Tree__ by Ray Bradbury. This book looks really interesting, and by looking at the cover, it looks like it could easily give you nightmares. They say "Don't judge a book by it's cover." But in this situation, it's hard not too......... I can't wait to read it!
