  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
    • Rated 0 stars

    This final installment to the Harry Potter series was absolutely thrilling. I expected it to be lacking, maybe end up like a kind of stereotypical finale, evryone dies, everythings good, that kind of thing. To my surprise, it was actually very addicting. J.K. Rowling brings the readers through the good times(thoguh very few) and the bad times(plenty of them) but managed to leave the book with the same feel as if it were the third part in the series. I do have to admit that for a bit it seemed to be slightly repetative, but without the slowbits the book wouldnt have had such a firecracker ending. Let me say i cried for about half an hour straight towards the end. One thing this book did do was build up the relationship between the readers and the three main characters making me more attached to them and ultimately making the book even more gripping. I'd have to say this was the best out of the series...but then again, its so hard to choose. It's sad that its over, and the epilouge didnt crave my need for more Harry Potter, but it was a wonderful ending to the amazing phenomenom that was Harry Potter! Cheers to J.K. Rowling!

  • Blue is for Nightmares
    • Rated 5 stars

    I recieved the set of these books for Christmas, my Dad choose them for me only because the word 'nightmare' was in the title of one of the books. It turned out to be a book that absolutely changed my life, funny seeing as its a fiction novel. But to the book, it's main character Stacey Brown was a character that I immediately connected to. She attends a private school with her best friends, but the way their friendship was described paralleled so much so those that i ahd that immediately I was drawn in. Since it was on Winter vacation, I found myself easily letting hours slip away with out realzing it, and then once I looked up from my book, I couldnt bring myself to put it down. The description is spot on, Stacey Brown is the 17 year old junior that Laurie Stolarz makes her to be. This book is absolutely amazing and everyone should pick it up. Awesome read! It offers a hint of romance tied in with mystery and action, its amazing!

  • Red Is for Remembrance
    • Rated 5 stars

    Sadly this is the last book in the series, but an amazing book it is! I got a little bit annoyed at first when Laurie Stolarz kept switching from Shell back to Stacey, but after a while it became refreshing to change stories every chapter or so. The way that Stacey's depression is described is amazing, its absolutely beautiful, it would seem as if Laurie Stolarz was able to spill the exact emotions of some one with a deep depression out into her book. It took me a while to realize what was going on with Shell and his little tribe of people out in the middle of the woods, but once I did I became more anxious to reach the ending. This book was extremly addicting, as were all of her other books, and when it ended it left me thirsting for more. This book offers a very beautiful and descriptive story of two young lovers going through separate experiences in seprate place, college and the woods. Its a lovely read and I would recommend it to anyone!

  • The Sun Dog: Four Past Midnight
    • Rated 5 stars

    I read this book right after taking a photo class, so naturally I was drawn to upon reading it revolved around a possessed camera. The story was slow at points but then again, if it is non-stop action... then it wouldnt be horror. Stephen King pulled it off with this book, I could easily picture living in that quite little town as did Kevin, growing up with that silly camera suvonier shop. But what really hooked me in was once Kevin decided to leave his camera to Pap (or Pop or something, I can't recall his name). The whole story just picked up from there. Explosive ending, great read!

  • The Long Hard Road Out of Hell
    • Rated 5 stars

    Freshman year of highschool I was OBSESSED with Marilyn Manson, and this book was my bible. I would read it constantly inhaling every detail of his life, trying to find as many parallels to his childhood as I could. I think this book offers a new light on the self proclaimed Anti-Christ Superstar, making him seem some what normal. I also realized that he seemed to have a stereotypical introduction into the shock rock community, drugs and women were a major theme in his early 20's, but it does add to his story. If you are a manson fan, you'll love it for the random facts about Mr. Manson, if not, its a great book to get insight into the life of Brian Hugh Warner.

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream (The New Folger Library Shakespeare)
    • Rated 5 stars

    This was the first play that i read after reading 'Romeo and Juliet' a year ago. It was simply thrilling, the story was addicting and easy to follow. I was worried that with out modern translations I wouldnt be able to understand the old english, but I had absolutely no trouble. The characters were perfect for the roles they were created for, and the over all play had me giddy with joy. It was a fantasy type story line but at the same time a comedy and romance, simply outstanding. One of Shakespeare's greatest!

  • Kissing Kate
    • Rated 5 stars

    This was a random book I happened to grab off the shelf a my local library. I had no clue what I had choosen but it ended up being a nice read. The book follows a girl coming to terms with her sexuality and I think the story line seemed very down to earth and practical. Every essence of the main character said she was a teenager going through the exact issue that many girls are facing, it felt as if the book could have been an autobiography. I found it a pleasent enjoyable read!

  • Give a Boy a Gun
    • Rated 5 stars

    I saw this book sitting on the shelf at my local library and thought "Oh this seems like a good read" and checked it out. It took me about a week and a half to get through it but it was worth it. It allowed a basic knowledge of the school shootings that had been occuring over the country as well as a great knowledge of that one specific shooting. Not only that but it gave a phsycological look into the minds of the two boys as the lived their adolescent years and what they were thinking leading up to the shooting. It even gave an idea as to what the boys were thinking as the opened fire at the dance. It was tough reading it because I was the same age as those affected by the shootings, but it was a great book to read!

  • Satanic Bible

    I picked this up one day because I was bored and also because I wanted to find out what went on in the religion that was Satanism. Thats me, curious as to what goes on in the minds of people shunned by the greater public. So as i began to read more into the book, I found out quickly that Anton LaVey had basically taken the rules and testaments(I think thats what they are called) from Christianity and Catholasism and written down the exact opposite. For me it seemed that he had made Satanism just what people stereotyped it to be. The main message that came across to me was, do what ever you want and dont give a f*ck when you do it. It seemed like a pointless way to live your life because by going around and doing what you like, you'll most likely end up in jail. It also annoys me alot when people give Lucifer a satanic title, he was the Roman(I believe it Roman, if not then Greek) God of Light. If you are looking into Satanism, I suppose read this book because it doesnt seem like there is any other 'bible' out there that relates to this subject, but just be prepared, it's a very stereotypical religion. One thing that sort of confused me though, was the lack of Satan worshipping and more of a focus of self worship. I guess you could call that the curve ball, but still it was odd in how much you could assume about this religion and be right.

  • The Giver
    • Rated 5 stars

    I read this book back in the eighth grade seeing as it was a required book. I soon fell in love with it, the book flowed beautifully and offered an interesting twist on the Utopia. The story was intriguing and thoughtful and yet at the same time mysterious. I couldnt have been more content with the ending, I'd say this book deffinetely earns a spot on my favorites, it was a teriffic read! The description was amazing and the story line outstanding!
