Journal Entry 4

This week i am reading a book called True Grit. It is set in the early 1900's in an old western town. This book would be hard to turn into a movie, so, instead, i picked a book i read earlier, Uglies. This book was one of my favorites and it would be a great sci-fi movie. It is filled with tons of actions, but has a love story built in. The main characters are Tally, Zane, Peris, Shay, and David. I think that as the main character, Tally should be played by an unkown acctress. If a well-known acctress was cast to play Tally the story line would not be the same. Zane, Tally's pretty boy friend, should be played by Jonathen Bennet. He was in the movie Mean Girls and has the right look for Zane. Peris was Tally's best friend before he got the operation to turn pretty. He should be played by Liam Hemsworth. Hemsworth was recently in the movie The Last Song. He would be great for the part beccuase Peris is all about looks in the book. Shay is a rebellious ugly who runs away from the city to live in the wild and avoid the operation. In my opinion, Michelle Trachtenburg would be the perect person to play Shay. She has the natural yet mysitical look about her. David is Tally's ugly boyfriend. He lived in the Smoke, where Tally visited to spy. David should be played by Taylor Laughtner. I can't really say why, but something about Laughtner tells me he would be a good person to play David.
Now i have thirty one books read and i need a suggestion on a short mystery. I really need to read some books fast becuase i am a liitle behind. PLEASE, give me suggestions on books that take a very short time to read.
