Book: Forever

As many of you know I have read and hated these books. A lot really. So why did  I read this? Because the book still had a lot of hope. There are many little and very small good points about this book that stand out and that I kept hoping to see more of. Sadly all I got was more of the bad. The setting and the town of Mercy Falls is wonderful but in none of the book was it every showcased at nicely as it should have been. And the love story was always so sad and never seemed to go anywhere. Even in this last book I found myself wondering where the hell it was all going - if it was going anywhere.  All of these books seem to be made up of nothing ever going right and everything wrong. To a point you have to give the reader a little hope. Its not that much to ask for. Harry Potter and a tons of other great books have done it all along its part of writing a good book is to have something that makes it worth reading.
Did I find this book worth reading? Yes, because I like to read a really bad book every once in a while just to remind me that they are out there and can be very poplar. And I also wanted to try to be fair.  I know I said that with Linger and i'm saying it again I want to be a fair blogger whenever I can help it.
 Pretty much standing with this book is the same as the other two in the series. Good setting. Sad love story. Everything goes wrong. And its also a very long book. I still like all the different characters and their side of the story.
On the bright side the story finally seemed to go somewhere. Even if I was not to happy with that somewhere.
Over all after reading all three of books I can safely say that my thoughts have not changed and I think that most readers will have better luck with other YA books. I do still have some hope for Ms.Stiefvater  as a writer and will at some point give her other books a try.

Movie: Liz and Dick

I like pretty much everyone else  watched with movie just to see what is going to be know as one of the worst movies ever made. even by TV. I mean I have never thought that lifetime was a never much of a channel. and as soon as Miss.Lohan said she will win an oscar I knew I had to see just to know that that was never going to happen.
 I am not a an Elizabeth Taylor fan . And let me tell you that there are many nobody actors that could done a better job in their sleep. I mean is it to much to ask that she act a little bit like her. Sound like her. and you can see her trying to remember lines. and for once in my life I was so happy when the adds came on. finely there was so good acting. she might look some what like liz but that is only because she had nothing to do with it. I think the only reason she was able to do the job she did was because she felt she was a little bit like Elizabeth Taylor.
as for the cast and crew I feel sorry for them. they had to not only deal with Lohan but they also because this film feel apart because of her. any time you do a bio pick the actor if they can should watch movie interviews and learn how to walk like them and smile like them. its a big help in  making it believeable.
and as for the sets and so on they did the best they could its pretty good. I mean its lifetime. the script needed work. but all of it could have been good had it know been for Lohan. after this I hope to never see her in another movie again. and If she should ever get anywhere near to winning an oscar with the state she is in I dont think I could go on with movies anymore. I mean it has to be one of the hardest to watch movies I have ever seen. but if you're watching a movie for laughs its golden.
and its going to be one of the things moms and friends say to you when your movie fails " at least its not as bad as Liz and Dick".

Movie: Clash Of The Titans ( NEW ONE)

Well this movie got the worst reviews there is I think. so when I put it on to watch it I thought that maybe they were just being mean and did not really mean it.
 But after watching the first 5 minutes of it I could see what they meant. the movie is sucked. I don't know how it did but it did. the movie could have been some what good if they had played up the love story. and played down  Zeus. he was just to cheesy.  everything is this movie was really corny. well everything but the love story because it was not really even there!I think that the only good thin about the  movie was that Gemma  Arterton was in it. I loved her. she was really the only thing I liked about his movie.
something fun to do with this movie is to mute it and then think up your own words to it. the movie really did suck! I mean even Avatar was better then this!  a lot better then this.
Over all the arterton was great, everything else sucked. But it is a great movie to sit and laugh at.

Book: Linger(The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #2)

Why did I read this book?  Because I do try to be as fair as I can. I know writing a book is very hard and a big undertaking and at times when I have looked back on my review of Shiver I have asked myself if I was being fair. So in the name of trying to be fair and do right by the blog I read this book. Which was pretty long so I had best be getting some points for being fair.
My thoughts one it?  They are a lot like my thoughts on book 1 ( Shiver).  When I read this book I do not feel the love between Sam and Grace. It is not real love to me. I found myself feeling hopeless and like love was out of reach and never going to happen. And that no matter what you do life is going to kick you down so you might as well stay down. At points I found myself thinking that maybe Romeo and Juliet had the right idea in the end. Because if I was Sam or Grace I would have started to feel that way. If you wanted me to tell you a book with a fairy tale paranormal love story that was good I would give Beastly  a try. This book was in someways better than  Shiver. Not much better  . But that does not make this book or Shiver a good book. The new character I felt help add to the story that like I said was all over the place in the first one. And at least the setting of Mercy Falls was still there and that helped me feel better about the time I spent on this book. And one more thing I would like to say before I rap it up is :I do not like how Grace was with her her Mom and Dad. it was like the Writer was saying " teens if you think you are in love, but your mom and dad don't then do not  do what they say". And that is not what we should be telling Teens. I'm sorry but at some point these YA writers have to take a good look at the real world when writing these books.
Was it a wast of time? No, it was not a waste of time for ME.  I got to blog about it and I can say that I have  read it. I was fair and I gave it a chance.! but do I think you should read it?  I would lean with no.  Over all I would say its a pass for me.

Book:Shiver(The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1)

Well the best way to start off the review is by saying that this is one of the biggest let downs I have ever read. A lot of people I know like it.And so many people told me that is would be a better read than Twilight. After reading this I want to read twilight again. And I don't even like twilight ( yes I went through my sad six months of liking it before I finally read something really good). I did not like how Sam and Grace are never really are happy. It seemed like the whole book was just them sitting around waiting for the next worse thing to happen. Which is sad because the book did have some good little points. Like I liked the setting of Mercy Falls. And at first I did like Sam and Grace and they why I got both sides of the story but the more I read the less I cared for that fact. And I'm sorry but I think that there was a lot when it came to wolf way of life that could have been left out and something truly worth reading put in its place. But  NO WAY! And at times I was not sure what story I was even reading. Which was a pain. So I would sit there and be like " yeah its a werewolf love story...and ummm yeah its cold. Which is why its called shiver" In some ways being in love is ever thing. But not the love in this book. I sat there thinking to myself that a love story about two teens dying of cancer would be more hopeful and worth reading than this.  And I might have learned something useful from that book. This on the other hand could have been great and would have been much better if it had not been written by a love sick stay at home mom. I have a stay at home but at least she is not out there trying to sell to young teenagers. I will try to read the next book in hopes that maybe it will pick up on the few good points that were hinted at in this book.
