Book:East

This book is not one I would have read if not for the fact that it was a book club read( yes, I am a part-time book club member).And I could not wait to hear what every one had to say about it. So I read it.And I was very happy with the book. it is a retelling of the fairy tale "eadt of the sun,west of the moon". which I saw the movie of as a child. but unlike as a child I love this story. I did not love Rose. but I did love this book. it did not have a lot of heart but it did have a lot of story. I really liked it. the cover is not that great and it is not a book you might pick because of the cover but it is a book book. it is a book for fans of Graceling. I and another girl in the book club read the AIRHEAD books and liked them too. she and I both really like east. really one of the better teen novels.Sadly this book lost momentum around page 334. and it did not pick up again for the rest of the book. I found the end to be all wrong for this book. I feel that the loves story was a like weak for the book and the death a little to much for the book.The fairy tale part
that had the power to be great got played down till the poit where the story was lost in death and sorro.But the opening and most of milde was very good. I just wish that the book could have stayed true to its self and not gone so south.One thing was I did not really love Rose.I feel we did not get to know her as much as we needed to. with a book like this you need to know more about her. I feel every thing else was fine for the book. yes all the death did get old fast it did some how seem to work a little in an odd way. Rose need a little more work.

Movie: Inception

This movie movie push movies to the cliff! this movie is just breathtaking. You feel for Cobb and you hope for him and you get mad. and you might get lost. I am happy to say that thanks to having a life lived in movies help me not to get lost and even to guess the ending. if you have seen the movie then you do not believe but it is true.  but any way this movie rock and it  should win the Oscar just for taking movies the next level ( Haha this movie really goes to level 5 if you know what I mean). If you love stories then you have to see this movie! even if you do not like movies. really it is a movie that every one has to see. it is great to talk about at parties when you can think of any thing else to say. the cast was great. I loved Leo's side-kick. he rocked! I did not like Ellen Page so much in this movie. I think that she was the best they could get but not the best for the part.This movie is every thing that Avatar should have been. now some of you might not like the movie but that is only because you do not get how breath taking! I love this movie! it is just dazzing! I love it! only downer was I felt that miss. Page was out of place. but other then that great movie! Nolan is a screenplay God!

( PG-13. for action, and very hard thought if you ask me also some images that might scare younger kids. or kjust kids,)

Book: Forgive My Fins


Ever thing about this book  have me thinking some thing else when I started it  I was like " this is going to be another book about a girl how falls in love young and lives with her high school love all her life".  but it is not like that. it is funny and cute! it shows us that love can some times be silly and fun! and I love this book! Lily is so much fun to read about. I love the way she talks about the water.  the story is NEW. it is not like ever other book I read. it so nice to read some thing that was not just like the rest.  I really think it is a book a lot of you should read. I know some of you will love it! really a sweet summer read! and I like it A LOT!
