Alice in Wonderland by: Lewis Carroll

This classic inspired countless movies and miniseries, and even more books! I decided to read the original book so I could see where this franchise began. This is great book, especially if you like to compare the books and movies. This fantasy is really unique and has a simple storyline that draws you in. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Q and A by: Vikas Swarup

After seeing the movie, Slumdog Millionaire, I decided to read the book that inspired it. Q and A is definitely adult fiction, and has a great plot and is unique. But, I have to say I enjoyed the movie better. I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

Fang by: James Patterson

In the latest Maximum Ride novel, the striking, growingly frightening character Angel is back! And she has announced that Fang is going to die first... The flock are sent into a panic, and the world is turned upside.

I absolutely loved this new book, and even cried at the end. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

City of Glass by: Cassandra Clare

Not living up to my high standards of the first two, the third Mortal Instruments begins at the beginning of a war. The plot is slower, but the twists are still there. Although it is a slow read, it deserves a 4 out of 5 stars.

Misery by: Stephen King

Very creepy, yet very good! From the very beginning, when author Paul Sheldon is injured in a car wreck and finds out he is being help captive by the insane, scary Annie Wilkes, to the end where it ends with a theme from the beginning.
A great read that deserves a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

City of Ashes by: Cassandra Clare

In this amazing second book in the Mortal Instruments series, this book is, if not equal to, better than the first book. Once again, this is one of my favorite books of all time. It has a great thrill-ride of plot, and is very captivating. It deserves a 5 out of 5 stars.

City of Bones by: Cassandra Clare

This is book 1 in the Mortal Instruments series, and I absolutely loved this book! A great plot with twists and turns, that follow an extraordinary journey through a hidden world of angels and demons. With very real characters, like the warlock Magnus Bane, I fell in love with this book. I suggest that anybody (no matter what their preferable genre) reads this book.

Definitely 5 out of 5!

Demonata 3: Slawter by: Darren Shan

These tales of demons are amazing! Once again, I blurred through this novel, returning the character of Grubbs from Lord Loss. I couldn't wait to find out what the truth behind the set was.... to understand, you'll just have to read it!

I give this book, once again, a 4.5 out of 5 stars!!!

Demonata 2: Demon Thief by: Darren Shan

Wait ago using the element of surprise to hook your readers, Mr. Shan! From the beginning, I couldn't this sequel down, mainly because of the perspective change that makes me believe that this series is going to hold a lot more pleasant surprises!

I give this one a 4.5 out of 5 stars again!

Demonata 1: Lord Loss by: Darren Shan

Ahh, the horror-fans all love the author Darren Shan, writer of the Cirque Du Freak books. I picked up the first book in the Demonata series and cruised on through it! It's a fast and fun reads that captures your attention from beginning to end!

I give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars!

The Secret Garden by: Frances Hodgson Burnett

This supposed "classic" baffled me! The characters, in my opinion, were not believable. They acted opposite of what you'd suspect by their descriptions. Also, the story line was pretty drab. Okay, you found a garden: Big whoop. But, what truly disappointed me the most was how dull the story in general was. It never seemed to get exciting.

So, my rating for the drabbest read of the century is a 1 and a half out of 5 stars.

Book to Movie #2: Shutter Island

I saw Shutter Island, and, although they did a good job with the usual hazy changes between books to movie, I was disappointed! One of my favorite parts in the book was all of the riddles that the marshals had to solve. To my disappointment, they left out a few and shortened the major riddle. I wished that the riddles were included.

Book to Movie #1: The Lightning Thief

This is a new thing that I'm doing. After seeing a movie and reading the book it's based off of, I'll review both.

Recently, I saw the Lightning Thief. The book, as you probably know, is one of my all time favorites. The story is fun, interesting and unique. But, the movie is nothing like the book. The movie isn't bad though. It's just not like the book. So if you like a good movie, see it. But, if you want it to be like the book, don't. You will be sourly disappointed.

Shutter Island by: Dennis LeHane

This book is an extraordinary thrill ride that I absolutely loved. Just a heads up, this book is an adult book! There is some adult content! If you don't believe me, there is a movie being made of it coming out soon and it IS rated R!

Shutter Island is creepy and amazing and I would definitely say that it's one of my favorites. 5 out of 5 stars all the way!

I, Robot by: Isaac Asimov

This is the first of the robot series and is an anthology of stories talking of robots and trouble that may come with them. These stories are very science fictiony and some stories are better than others. But, otherwise, this book is a fun, and unique read.

I would rate this piece of science fiction 3 and 1/2 out of 5 stars.

Graceling by: Kristen Cashore

This incredible story of Katsa is actually the first of Cashore's books. It tells of a medieval place where some people are Graced, or have an ability. Katsa is the niece of one of seven kings that rule the seven kingdoms. She is Graced with killing and is used as a tool to her uncle. Until Prince Po comes along and changes anything.

This story of what happens in the seven kingdoms is amazing and I would rate it 5 out of 5 stars. A fun and spectacular read, this book is followed by a companion, Fire, with one crossover character. Read them both!

Death Note, Volume 1, Boredom

This is (in my opinion) a book.
This story is about a boy named Light who one day finds something called a Death Note on the ground. It turns out that it was dropped by a Shinigami (a Japanese death god) named Ryuk. The Death Note has the ability to control death and Light sets out on a so-called righteous mission to rid the world of evil. I would rate this 4.5 stars out of 5!!!
By the way, it is a graphic novel.
