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!
