City of Bones Movie





Oh. My. Gosh. I saw the City of Bones movie today. It's based off Cassandra Clare's book City of Bones, for those of you who might not know. It was AMAZING! It was a pretty good adaptation and even had a few book quotes in it. I was watching it and I think I was smiling most of the time (even in the serious parts) because:

1) I finally got to go see it.

2) It was so AMAZING! (I don't know if I mentioned that already...haha)

3) It was close to what happened in the book, with only a few things different.

 Unfortunately, the movie so far has not made as much money as expected, so the sequel may be in danger...but it was such a good movie, I don't understand why it isn't doing well. I went with my mom's friend, who wanted to read the book but hadn't yet and she said it was a really good movie. Go see the movie, people!

 And the Catching Fire trailer was one of the previews! I was jumping up and down in my seat...it's different to see it online and then to see it in a movie theater. 

Yeah....okay, that's all I got for now...oh, I am currently rereading Divergent and Insurgent in preparation for Allegiant's release in October...even though I won't get my copy until November because Amazon is grouping House of Hades, Allegiant, and Champion, which is the last to be released on November 5th...so November, yeah.

 Alright, now I'm done :)

Nico di Angelo

Nico's first appearance: The Titan's Curse . It makes me so sad how Nico starts out as an innocent, adorable little boy who loves and jabbers about a geeky game. He has no idea he is a half-blood. He has no idea he's the son of Hades. He's innocent, has his older sister, and has his nerdy game. And then, Bianca goes to be a huntress for Artemis. Nico feels hurt, but still has his sister. And as time goes on, this innocent, happy Nico is destroyed. He loses his innocence. He loses Bianca. He realizes that his geeky little game is actually real, and extremely dangerous. He becomes a shadow; a sad, broken-hearted soul who rarely smiles. He goes from innocently asking Percy if he can surf really well, to promising Percy to take the others to the Doors of Death at the end of Mark of Athena. Nico is a character who I have a special soft-spot for. He lost so much, and hurts so much. He seems misunderstood, but really, he's probably one of the most

BOOK REVIEW: THE DARKEST MINDS BY ALEXANDRA BRACKEN

I found a review on Goodreads that perfectly puts into words how I feel about this book. (Author: Mitch) (cuss words have been removed; points that I personally REALLY agreed with are in bold) On the surface, The Darkest Minds has a lot more going for it than your typical dystopian. It's incredibly dark and disturbing, but more than that, there's a certain realism to Alexandra Bracken's writing that makes the plot believable in a way few other books in the genre are. Yeah I'm frustrated, but not because this book is a generic dystopian - it's not, not because the plot calls for kids being rounded up in concentration camps and shot in the back - though that happens, but because I feel ...more "On the surface, The Darkest Minds has a lot more going for it than your typical dystopian.

Review: Sylo by D.J. MacHale

So, Sylo by D.J. MacHale. This is the non-spoiler part. I will tell you when the spoiler part starts. The second book in the trilogy is set for release towards the end of March, so look for it! Awesome looking cover. Yup. The beginning was strange and frankly, it scared me a little because I was reading this late at night before going to sleep. The ending, like in the last 50 pages was like: Okay, that might be a bit of an overstatement. It wasn't a feelsplosion, it was just crazy plot twists. Yeah. Leave it to D.J. MacHale to make everything complicated. *cough cough Pendragon cough* My rating: Hmm... 8 /10 It was a good book. I was definitely pulled in and it keeps you guessing. .................... Okay, spoilers below this point. Stop reading now if you haven't read or are planning to read this book. Tucker. I like how Tucker isn't the wimpy back-up football player at end of the book. He becomes a leader and the group has no idea what they're
