Wow, Third blog of the day. My hands are getting tired. Just Kidding! I’m maybe halfway done with the book and I love this book also! It is very intersting, and I’m glad I finally got a chance to read it, because my friend Matt has been telling me to read it since seventh grade, and I never really got around to it. Whoah, thats weird how the main Character’s name is Matt, also.

i just started ‘The House of the Scorpian’ & i am starting to like it. it was a little weird in the beginning, but it is good. i don’t understand why they use cows for the clones, though.
well, i guess i’ll get back to you.

Yeah, I’m so glad this book was one of the summer reading books, because otherwise, I probably would have never gotten around to it. I love it. Haha, whenever I think of El Patron, I think of an old Indian Chief in a Motorized Wheelchair. Only, isn’t he Mexican?

I am now finished with House of the Scorpion… and I must say that that book is now one of my favorites. I will definately read it again someday. I was really sad when it ended. I hope Matt and Maria get to be together forever. [:
Well, see you all at school!

I just finished ‘House of the Scorpion’ today; & it was really good. I didn’t like how unfair they treated Matt in the book, but it was still really good. I will definately read this book again, because it was one of my favorites. (;
Well, this is my last post for the summer, so I hope you all have/had a great summer! See you on the first day of school!
