As of now I know that Clary's father, who was a decorated soldier, died in a car accident before she was born. Also, Clary is in a fight with her mother because her mother, who's name is Jocelyn; Luke, one of her mother's close friends; and Clary are supposed to go on vacation for the rest of the summer. Clary ignores her mother's calls when Simon and Clary are at Simon's bandmate's, Eric's, poetry reading at a coffee shop. At the coffee shop Clary sees Jace, one of the guys from the night club before, and goes outside and talks to him. That's where this reading ends.

I have enjoyed this book so far. I did not like it though when Clary fought with her mother. She also created this whole big fight between her mother and Luke. I think that Clary should've just went along with the vacation, atleast for that point and time. Jocelyn, Clary's mother, needed a break from reality, and I don't think that Clary understood that. It made me sad when Clary left her mother alone and went out with Simon when her mother needed someone the most. It made me even more upset with Clary when she ignored her mother's phone calls. I am very anxious to find out what happens between Clary and Jace when she goes out to talk to him. I am looking forward to reading more of this book.

The book I chose to read is City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. This book confused me at first, but I started to understand it after a while. The main character is a girl named Clary Fray. She goes to a club called Pandemonium with her friend Simon. There are a couple of strange looking people there. One had blue spikey hair and unusually bright green eyes. Another was a girl who was very beautiful for a normal human. The third that Clary particularly noticed was a boy who was wearing a red jacket and carried a knife. She finds them very suspicious when they go into a NO ADMITTANCE room. She ended up following them and getting herself involved in a murder of a creature, because these people she saw were not visible to a normal human. These creatures were not human.

The beginning of the book was a little confusing. After a couple pages I started to understand though, so I am no longer confused. I am enjoying this book so far. I was able to tell something was going to happen when she mentioned the unusual looking people that are stated in the paragraph above, especially the one with the knife. The fact that this girl, Clary is able to see the creatures is making me think that she might also be an unusual being, but she just isn't aware of it yet. I think that she might start figuring this out after she realized she was the only human that was able to see these people. I think that was is going to happen next is she is going to start finding out what makes her different from humans, and what makes her be able to see these people when nobody else can. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this book.
