Judging A Book By Its Cover

            A well known saying is doing judge a book by its cover.  I think this is wrong.  The book my mother is reading has a boring two colored cover.  The book doesn’t look interesting for me to read at all and my mother agrees that I probably I wouldn’t enjoy the book.  The book that I have chosen to read NERDS 2: M IS FOR MAMA’S BOY has a funny and colorful cover.  The cover shows five of the characters that seem to be having a good time.  This makes the book look good to me.
            Also I think a book’s title can help draw you into that book.  This book is the second book in the NERDS series I think I am going to enjoy this book. Also the subtitle has something to do with my life.  Some people call me a mama’s boy because my mom does this, that and the other thing for me.  I think see is just being helpful and showing that she loves me.  My friends think that they are teasing me but I don’t let that bother me.  I can’t wait to see how it fits into the book. 
            In writing a series having the characters in the other books is important.  Once a reader becomes attached to a character they are more likely to read the next book. They are going to want to find out what happens to them.  I wonder how the characters are going to change from NERDS to NERDS 2.
            After reading two books about personal tragedies and hard ache I look forward to reading a funny and meaningless book.  I hope NERDS 2 is just the book to enjoy.

  1. i like how you added the fact you start off with finding this book, Nerds 2, that was a good cover. THEN you ended up with hoping to read this book because of the fact that its a good cover. i hate to admit it but sometimes i do too choose a book by its cover (and its back but that's a different story).

  2. I really enjoyed your blog post and I especially like how you actually talked about judging a book by its cover. A lot of people do that (including me) and I loved how you connected that to your book. But I think you need more questions. Have you a ever misjudged a book by its cover? I did before and I sometimes even judge books by the font. Weird, right? But I liked the personal connect to your mother. Nice blog post!

  5. 1) You should probably talk about the characters in NERDS(the first one)and how you think they willl relate to the characters in NERDS 2.
    2)You should ask if any other people are mama's boys, or called one.

  6. 3)You should talk about the books with hard ache.
    4)If you did read more of the book, was your prediction right? and you could also write about if you are having a fun time eading it.
    5)You could try to incorporate what nick said about your post on his post on your post. http://kiss82010nj.blogspot.com/2011/02/entry-on-entry-on-entry-no-just-kidding.html#comments
