Book Review: "What If?"

Book Review: What If

This book takes a group of random “what if?” questions that we all may or may not ask ourselves and applies science to them. It really makes you think and stop and consider the possibilities. Then once you consider the question if gives you an answer using science to show what is actually possible. Take for example: “What if everyone actually had only one soulmate, a random person somewhere in the world?” The book proceeds to weave a scenario or almost a story about where your soulmate could be or the difficulties of meeting that one specific person. It even takes coincidences and impossibilities into consideration.

I got this book for Christmas and it really is a page turner. It has all the different categories listed so you can pick and choose which “What If” questions you want to read. It is a little long but it can be read in whatever order you would like. If you've never been into science, this book could really change your mind about whether or not science is fun or interesting. 7/10 would recommend.

Book of the Month: “Mockingjay” by Suzanne Collins


   It’s no secret that Hunger Games has taken over the world, and there’s a good reason for it.  This series is one of my favorites, but I’ve specifically chosen the third book “Mockingjay” because its movie adaptation, “Mockingjay Part 2”, is premiering in theaters this Friday. Also it’s my favorite book of the entire Hunger Games series. I don’t want to give too much away about the plot in case you’re one of those people who see the movies without reading the books, but I can tell you that this is by far the craziest book of the series. With intense cliffhanger, imagery, and choices, Katniss must face not only her demons but herself and try to once again reign victorious.  If you’re planning on seeing the movie, I would recommend reading the book first. It’s not required to see the movie, but I would say that if you don’t, you’re missing out on one of the best endings of a trilogy YA novel. Overall, I’d rate this book 4/5, which is pretty good. Already read Mockingjay? Comment your love, hate, or Katniss/Peeta fan fics below!
