Recommendations Title

So you are in the mood for a good book, movie or restaurant. Well check out what we recommend, based on what we teens like!


Book Recommendation

LET'S ROLL
Ordinary people, extraordinary courage.  “Let’s Roll!” is a biography written by Lisa Beamer with Ken Abraham. Beamer’s husband, Todd, was one of the brave heroes on United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. This is not the typical 9/11 story, though. This memoir not only features the life of the Beamer family, it gives shocking details of all the events of that day. You might be curious as to how the title of the book connects with the story. Throughout Todd’s life, “Let’s roll” was his personal phrase. His sons knew when Daddy said “Let’s roll,” they better be ready to head out the door. “Let’s roll” also happened to be Todd’s last words as he followed through with the plan to attack the terrorists aboard his plane.

Totally awesome book that everyone should read; this book taught me to always move on, yet never forget.

 

Movie Recommendation:

300
This is an epic movie filled with war and gore. The plot is simple and the acting powerful, but what makes this movie worth watching are the war scenes. “300” has some fantasy elements, but because the plot is based on real events (the Battle of Thermopylae), it has historic value. “300” will attract many movie lovers, particularly those who appreciate films for their artistic and historic appeal. This is a must-see film.

The battle scenes are excellent and demonstrate how the few Spartans could actually stop the Persians’ advance using special tactics to drive them back. The film shows many historic facts of the battles in an interesting way.


If you want to see an action-packed movie, “300” fits the bill.

 

Restaurant Recommendation:

CHIPOTLE
Here a Burrito, There a Burrito, EVERYWHERE a Burrito, can’t say enough about the GREAT BIG WONDERFUL Burritos! And not to mention the prices are right for a teen with a tight budget and big appetite.
