You are what you read. Stuff yourself with poetry, short stories, comic strips, novels, and scripts, and you leave yourself always full of wonderful literature and you’re never hungry. That is why I am trying to ingrain the habit of reading good literature right before I go to bed, and I had the great pleasure…
Alaska is covered with snow and ice shields, and also excluded from the large territory in the United States. Its boundless wilderness has attracted countless adventurers’ desire. “Into The Wild” describes a young teen who wanted to give his soul to Alaska. In 1992, inside an abandoned bus at Alaska, people found a decomposed body.…
Usually, I would only review books written by award-winning authors, but I had to make an exception this time. “Got Fight?” is written by Forrest Griffin, one of the most loved and well-known MMA fighters out there. Watching his interviews, one can easily tell that the guy is hilarious, so I was quite excited when…
I was persuaded by my friends to read the The Hunger Games. I finally gave in and began the book, only to finish it two days later. Needless to say, I quite enjoyed the story. The plot itself was absolutely captivating in a terrifying way. The story follows the life of Katniss Everdeen, a girl…
“Warning: This book is intended for immature audiences. If you find teen guys annoying and/or disgusting, this may not be the book for you. There’s gotta be something about a cute wizard or moody vampire around here… Go find it!” So, a long time ago I reviewed “Carter finally gets it” part one of the…
If you always feel like your card or project is too plain, then check out this guy Robert Sabuda who made paper arts special. Robert grew up in the small town of Pinckney. The first time he picked up a crayon, he discovered himself as an artist, and drawing and crafting was all he did.…
Please read my previous blog entry here (review of Catching Fire, part 2 of the series) before your read this. Well… Katniss survives again, but at a great cost. Peeta is captured, district 12 is incinerated, and thousands are left dead. Also, a full fledged rebellion is unfolding and Katniss finds herself trapped in the…
Please read my previous blog entry here (review of the hunger games, part 1 of the series) before you read this. So, against astronomical odds, both Katniss and Peeta survived the hunger games. But in order to both survive and save Peeta, Katniss did the unthinkable – she openly defied the capitol. And thus the…
If you haven’t read my previous blog post about the background story of the Hunger Games trilogy, please do so here. “Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with every one out to make sure you don’t live to see the morning?” This book is the first part of the hunger games trilogy.…
Yes, Where’s Waldo. Where’s Waldo has been one of my favourite childhood books. I remember back in the day, when we would all gather around, and team up to find him! I would love to share my childhood experience with you! Find WALDO!
Okay, I think it’s time to return to book reviews. I will start with my favourite series, the Hunger Games trilogy. This trilogy is composed of The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Basically… a war destroyed North America, but from the rubbles rose a dictatorship called Panem. Panem is made up of a high-tech…
I have read many books that involve friendship. But I don’t recall reading a book with friendship as its central theme, until this week. I would have preferred the book to be more modern but that would be an absurd demand. So this book takes place in the 30s and follows two traveling workers (George…
So, instead of me ranting of what’s wrong or right with the today’s reading materials and television programs, I will dole out a book that I think EVERYONE should read. Mostly because it truly is a true classic (That’s right, THAT’S HOW TRUE IT IS!). Some readers may have read it, others not. If you have…
“The answer is 42” that is perhaps my favorite quote from all the books I’ve read. I was looking for a book that’s funny and enjoyable for a youth audience. That’s when I came across this book. This book is the first installment of “a trilogy in five parts” it is a science fiction book…
It has become extremely difficult for me to find youth novels for guys. I was asked “why don’t you just read girl books”. Well the answer is… I don’t think girl books are very good. But when I think about it, are girl books really inferior or are they just of a different style, and why…
