Mitty is a teenage boy who likes to enjoy life. He doesn't care about homework at all, but he is pressured to finish an assignment because his crush is in his class. His assignment is about deadly diseases. He chooses smallpox because he found some smallpox scabs in a book he read. He touches the scabs and inhales the dust. Little does he know that when the scab was fresh it had Virola Major- a deadly virus. It has no personality. It's only task is to take over the cells of the other creatures and spread. It has the power to kill everyone. Mitty's life becomes at risk along with everybody he is in contact with.
I really liked the information in the book. It entertained me and taught me about smallpox. The only thing I didn't like is that it was very easy to read. I would have enjoyed more of a challenge.
I would recommend this book to people who don't usually read. This book would capture all their attention. I would also recommend this book to people like me. Drama with a little bit of romance, but not to crazy.
I would compare Code Orange to the book any book that includes diseases. I personally haven't read a book that I can compare this to.

True Believer by Nicholas Sparks
We all know the timeless classics that Nicholas Sparks writes. The epic love stories will make you laugh or cry. The Lucky One falls in that category.
The main character is Jeremy Marsh, a 40 year old who is engaged to the beautiful Lexie Darnell. When they were dating, Lexie got pregnant and Jeremy proposed. In the small town of Boone Creek little is secret, and the citizens of the town believe that Jeremy proposed because Lexie was pregnant. Later, the pregnancy takes a horrible turn that leaves Jeremy and Lexie fighting tears. True Believer is a must read.
I enjoyed the book because of the story that was told in it. Also the Nicholas Sparks romance was quite up to par. The only thing I didn't like about the book is the ending. It could have gone a totally different direction and would be just as good. I would recommend this book to all drama lovers, because True Believer is packed full, but i would recommend for the reader to be 12+ due to some more adult topics. I would compare this book to Message in a Bottle by Nicolas Sparks because of the drama that is in it.
