ANIMAL FARM

ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell 144 pp. Penguin Group. £8.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9780141182704 Rating: ? Stars     This book is set in a future when animals are much cleverer than now. And because of their cleverness, the pigs started a revolution against the humans. Pigs could speak fluently in English unlike the other animals, and that gave them the power to be leaders. But, the story that follows only happened a few years after that...     Their first leader, Old Major, was kind and fair who knew animals should be equal.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo 146 minutes. Marvel Studios. (PG-13) See at IMDB Rating: 4 Stars     This is a new marvel movie. I like this movie, Its very fun and it has new characters . The genre is Fantasy/Science fiction film. The duration of the movie is 2 hours and 27 minutes. I wanted to watch it in the fist week it came out, but all the tickets were full in every cinema.     I like how the director of the movie added some new characters. These characters were from the other marvel movies. Like ant-man and spider man. It makes the movie really cool. And the personalities of the characters were the same as the original movie.     There is a lot of sarcasm in the movie, and it makes the movie more funny. It makes the fighting in the movie less serious. Even if there is violence I the movie its covered by the sarcasm.     I think the avengers are the villains. I know t...

CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY

CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY Gallagher Girls Book 2 by Ally Carter 256 pp. Disney-Hyperion. $9.99. (Ages 12 and up) ISBN 9781423100065 Rating: 4 Stars    I have bought this book because of many reasons. The format and the pictures in the cover has got my attention. The color and the way the title is edited has a theme of a girls school in it. The title has also got my attention, the way 'cross my heart, and hope to spy' makes people think it s a spy book and most tween would love spy books. I think the back blurb is not interesting. It is only a part of the book pasted in the back of the book. If adults see this book, I think they won't buy it because the back blurb does not explain the book at all. While I saw the cover, I could not see what number was the book, was it the forth book?,or the third?. I think the author should put a number on the book so readers will know which book is it, and not think its the first book.    The book is too short. For me...

CITY OF FALLEN ANGLES

CITY OF FALLEN ANGLES The Mortal Instruments Book 4 by Cassandra Clare 480 pp. Margaret K. McElderry Books. $13.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9781481455992 Rating: 4 Stars   This book is a start of an new adventure. The enemy has lost and a new one rises. I think it is a good idea the author made a new enemy. Now the book wont end!   I don't like how the author divides the book into many parts. It makes me think its a very large book and sometimes I get bored. It makes the book seems like a very very big book. And most pages are wasted for the page to say a new part and also the quote/poem the author has made.   In a new story there will be new characters. The villain in the book has lost now if the next villain will be bigger new characters will come. The are new characters now like Mia, Jorgan and other characters.   I don't like the part when a partner does not let the other one go in a fight because they don't want to lose them. Its like making a...

CITY OF GLASS

CITY OF GLASS The Mortal Instruments Book 3 by Cassandra Clare 592 pp. Margaret K. McElderry Books. $13.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9781481455985 Rating: 4 Stars    This is the 3rd book of the series. Its the best book out of the 1st and the 2nd because it is the book that has the war between Valentine and the Shadow hunters. When I started reading it it seems very messy. But in the end it all makes sense. Its ether between the valentine or the shadow hunters who wins.    From the first book until this book (the third book) the cover always has the text by Stephen Meyer.. looking at the cover of the book makes me think its the same book over and over again. I also think the text by Stephen Meyer should be in the back because most text by a famous author is in the back.    Valentine is a villain and also a father of 3 children. I don't understand him. Is he trying to use his children or does he really love his children? I think the author should explain more...

CITY OF ASHES

CITY OF ASHES The Mortal Instruments Book 2 by Cassandra Clare 512 pp. Margaret K. McElderry Books. $13.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9781481455978 Rating: 4 Stars   This is a type of book that mixes every type of book into one book . I would think it has everything. Like Action,romance,comedy all in one book. It is like other teen books like the Divergent series. It is one of those teen books that every teen enjoys reading. I also like the love story in the book. Clary and Jace is very sweet and caring, but I think they are a bit over protective.   I think the cover in the book has too much color and pictures. It kind of makes people think “what is really in the book?”. I think the illustrator should lessen the pictures and just have Clary and Jace or another main character. Most people like simple but charming covers.   The moral in this book is friendship and care. Everyone needs to learn how to care and to take care of their friendship. It is a very importa...

Book Review: The Dream Thieves

Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and Adam will be the same. Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after... The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater was very high on my holiday wishlist, and I was thrilled when I unwrapped it. I loved The Raven Boys so I was excited to delve back into this world. As with all of Maggie's books, the story takes time to unfold. Her books are rather slow reads for me, as they're so interesting and beautifully written that I read slow and savor each word. When the writing is this good, there's no need to rush through it. The Dream Thieves picks up where The Raven Boys left off, the search for a sleeping Welsh king, Glendower. Each of the characters have an important role to play in fin...
