Thank you Mrs.Delgado for showing us how to do this. I think this will be pretty cool.
My favorite book ever happens to be Fallen Angels. There is only one thing wrong about that book and it is the language. But all over all it is the best book out on the market. It is the best book out on the market because it is about the war and about real life. Steven

My favourite book would have to be the book i finished about a month 2 months ago called Jack the Ripper: The Final Soultion By: Stephen Knight. The reason why i liked this book so much was because I've been interested in Jack the Ripper since i was about 9 or 10. Also, the fact that i went to London this summer and took the London Walks:Jack the Ripper tour. It was so cool to hear about all the murders and get to go to the actual locations the murders took place, it was so AWESOME!!!! I also enjoyed the plot of the story because Mr. Knight's view on this story is that Jack the Ripper is in fact 1 murderer and 2 accomplices instead of 1 murderer. He thinks that Jack the Ripper is Sir William Gull, head surgeon to the Queen and his accomplices Sir Robert Anderson and Sir Gull's coachman Ned Netley.also, that the murderes were caused by a royal scandal between Queen Victoria's son Prince Eddy (Albert Victor)and his secret love affair with a commoner Annie Elizabeth Crook (Cook).This puts a whole new perspective on this murder that is shrouded in mystery.
