Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

I read Star Wars: The Phantom Menace writtien by Terry Brooks. The book came from the movie and screenplay written by George Lucas. The book follows the movie beautifully and it even adds in more detail. It tells you about some Anakin's podraces before the Jedi arrive. Droids take over the planet of Naboo hoping to get the Queen to sign a treety. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan rescue the Queen and escape to the planet of Tatooine. They need to get parts to fix their ship. Tatooine doesn't accept the Jedi's kind of money so they have to bet on a nine-year old boy and a podrace. The little boy, Anakin, wins the race and he goes with the Jedi because they think he might be the "chosen one". Once back at Courescant (i know i didn't spell that right) Qui-Gon tells Yoda about the invasion on Naboo. The Queen goes back to her planet and they free if from the droids. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon get into a lightsaber battle with a sith named Darth Maul. Maul kills Qui-Gon but Obi-Wan avenges his master and kills Darth Maul.

Star Wars: The Star Wars Trilogy

This book is based from the movies from Star Wars episodes four, five and six. The first one is actually written by George Lucas, the creater of Star Wars. I think the movies might actually be based off the books, because the books are much more detailed than the movies. I liked the sixth one, Return of the Jedi the best. In the book, it made it way more easier to understand. The part on the planet Endor, where they are trying to destroy the shield generator was confusing in the movie. Too many different scenes you had to understand and put together. In the book it all made sense and wasn't confusing at all. I think the movie for the fifth episode was better than the book. In the movie they do a much better job with details than in the book. They show the battles and plot better than in the book. The Empire Strikes Back, was also the shortest story in length. That probably helps to explain the less detail. If you like Star Wars, I think you should try to find the book. It made me see the trilogy in a different way.

The Outsiders

I read a book called "The Outiders". It is written by S.E. Hinton. It was actually a really good book. I thought it was one of those books you have to read in school and they are the most terribly boring thing ever. Then I started reading it and the guys name is ponyboy. It made me laugh a little, what a wierd name. Then I started reading more and it started talking about fights and gangs. That's when I started thinking, " this book might actually be pretty good".
Ponyboy and his brother belong to a ganglike group, called the greasers. They are poor underprivlaged children. They get their hair as greasy as possible and long. They take pride in thier hair. Then there is a rival group called the socs. They are rich and spoiled people. They go around in groups jumping greasers who are alone. The greasers accidently kill one of the socs and it starts a huge war. Ponyboy runs away with another greaser to escape the murder charges. Eventually they go back and Ponyboy joins in the battle. All the other greasers watch out for ponyboy though, because he is younger.

One Fish two fish red fish blue fish

Yeah, I did read a Dr. Seuss book and it was AWESOME! I haven't read one for close to five years. I think they got better, even though that is probably really hard to believe. Before i just read them as a little kid to read. Now I read them and think," wow it must be really hard to rhyme so many things and have make as much sense as it does. He also uses repetition, something i didn't realize before. He also has some onomatopeias in it.
He writes, " Bump!
Bump!
Bump!
Did you ever ride a Wump?
We have a Wump
with just one hump.
The way Seuss rhymes, it makes everything roll of your tongue with less effort. I could more words per minute out of one of his books than out of a regular book. He makes his books flow and fun. Something that more readers need to do to get kids hooked on reading. If you haven't read a Dr. Seuss book lately, i say you take the five minutes out of your day to relive some childhood. You'll enjoy it, promise.

Breaking Dawn (Part 3)

I finally finished it! It wasn't as bad as I had heard. There wasn't a huge battle like I had been expecting. That's half the book is preparing for a fight but then it doesn't even happen. It was a big disappointment. I didn't really like the ending that much. They ended up resolving the issue with the Volutri peacefully but then Edward was like they will be back to fight again. The book is over though and there aren't any more in the series coming out so we don't get to know what happens. Bella learns how to take her shield that protects her mind from vampires abilities, and expand it to people around her. This helps when the Volutri come, because there most powerful weapons are two vampires who use their minds to win. Bella even learns how to completely remove the shield from herself and move it somewhere else. At the end of the book she does this so Edward can read her thoughts, and she shows him how much she loves him. How romantic, I know but horrible ending to the book. Then she kept thinking we get to be together forever but the whole time i was thinking what about when they come back to fight, like Edward said they would. I think this was the worst one in the series.

Breaking Dawn (part 2)

This book just got way more interesting. I wouldn't have stopped reading it, if i wasn't so exhausted and hadn't fallen asleep. It is also becoming a little annoying. You read it and think, "ooh Bella is gonna become a vampire. I can't wait to see what problems she encounters with that.". Then you find out she is some perfect vampire girl and your dissapointed. She doesn't even have the same problems other vampires had when they first became bloodsuckers.
So, before confusing you more, i'm goinng to explain more of the book. Bella is pregnant with a demon baby. The baby is half human, half vampire and has a beating heart. The baby craves blood and while inside Bella it wasn't getting it. Bella then drinks gallons of blood to satisfy the baby's cravings and get healthier. The baby grows too big and has to be cut out of Bella. It is and then Bella holds her. The baby bites Bella and she starts dying. Edward has to insert venom into Bella, to turn her into a vampire. Bella goes through alot of pain and wishes for death. Then when she awakes, two days later, she doesn't realize she's a vampire. After she opens her eyes and sees everything in more clarity and can move really fast. Then she gets a craving for blood. Her and Edward go on a hunting trip. While Edward teaches her how to hunt, she smells human blood and goes sprinting at them. Somehow she stops in midchase and runs away from the humans. Edward is amazed by it. They leave the area and go to an uninhabited one and finish hunting. That is how far I got in the book. I liked the first three alot better. This one just seems to have something missing that all the others had.

Breaking Dawn

I am reading the fourth and final book in the Twilight series. It is called "Breaking Dawn" and is by Stephenie Meyer. It is pretty good so far. The characters don't seem to have the same personalities that they did in the other books though. Stephenie also tried something new and wrote the book from Bella's view and some parts from Jacob's view. She kinda had to do this because Bella doesn't get the whole story because she is stuck pregnant in the Cullen's house for half the book.
The book starts out on the day of Bella and Edwards wedding. They get through it, blah blah blah. Then they go on their honeymoon. They go to an island that Edwards parents own somewhere in the Carribean. They get intimate a couple of times and Bella ends up with bruises all over her body and Edward gets mad at himself. He says he won't ever hurt her again like that. Then to everyone's surprise Bella gets pregnant. Noone knew a vampire could get someone pregnent. Its not a normal baby inside Bella's stomach though. Its a demon baby that has accelerated growth so in a day she is months into her pregnency. The baby is killing Bella from the inside and causing her huge amounts of pain. Bella refuses to get rid of the baby, because she wants one really bad and she doesn't care that it is going to kill her. Everyone but Roslie is against the baby. She defends Bella but not because Bella wants her to. Thats where i stopped reading and i'm halfway through the book. Only half way. I need to get reading more.
