A New Kind of Boring


We have recently started reading this book and it starts the story by a group of young sailors finding a pile of dead bodies on a shipwreck. Two of the sailors decide to see what the situation is, curious and afraid at the same time. The older and slightly sinister one of the sailors kills a man on board who is holding a machete (thinking that he would fight back if he knew they were there) and tells his partner to keep it a secret. But they do not realise that there is someone watching them.

After the prologue, it jumps to another scene where two brothers say goodbye after one is sent to prison (for something I do not know yet). They have a short conversation and this is where I close the book, simply because it seems to drag on forever, even though I have only read about a chapter. There is no interesting dialogue that grabs my attention, but I am yet to find out if this book is truly worthy to be read when I go deeper into the seemingly boring storyline. This book does not appeal to me at all, although I think that when the brother that goes to jail is when the interesting bit will start. I want to know how he lives and what the plot of the story is, which I am sure I will find out the next time I open the book, if I ever bother.

Ella Enchanted


This was a really good book. I liked the story and they way the author wrote it it was an awesome book which i really enjoyed reading. My favourite part was the end when the spell was broken.

The story is about a Two years after being released from Camp Green Lake, Armpit is home in Austin, Texas, trying to turn his life around. But it’s hard when you have a record, and everyone expects the worst from you. The only person who believes in him is Ginny, his 10-year old disabled neighbor. Together, they are learning to take small steps. And he seems to be on the right path, until X-Ray, a buddy from Camp Green Lake, comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme. This leads to a chance encounter with teen pop sensation, Kaira DeLeon, and suddenly his life spins out of control, with only one thing for certain. He’ll never be the same again.

In his first major novel since Holes, critically acclaimed novelist Louis Sachar uses his signature wit combined with a unique blend of adventure and deeply felt characters to explore issues of race, the nature of celebrity, the invisible connections that determine a person’s life, and what it takes to stay on course. Doing the right thing is never a wrong choice – but a small step in the right direction.

I think that Sachar is a master storyteller who creates memorable characters.

Hatchet



Brian, a thirteen year old boy, his parents are divorced. Brian was going to his father, who is working in the mines of Canada. Brian started his journey through a bush plane. His mother handed him a Hatchet, before he left to the plane. During his journey, Brian took the co-pilot’s seat. Since it is a cargo plane, there is only a pilot and some goods. When the plane started to cross the wilderness of the Canada, the pilot had a heart attack.  He tried to contact the airport, but it was all in vain, Brian landed the plane near on an island. For a day, he had pain due to his falling. He did not had anything to eat too. he started to search for food. Soon he, with the help of his hatchet, he decided to survive. He made the fire with pebbles, and for many days, he survived without any trouble. Later, he realized that there might be anything in the plane, which was collapsed in the lake, will help him. He found some transmitters and some food. He tried to use the transmitters, but it did not work. Soon he heard the sound of a plane approaching towards him, later he was saved.

i liked the story because it showed discipline and how a Boy can live alone, at the end i thought that he will not be saved but he did. It's a nice story.

Dark Knights and Dingy Castles -Terry Deary

The story Dark Knights and Ding Castles, takes you back century years ago... when King's used to be called as Gods, and Knights wanting to wear shiny amours to look important and wielding new weapons which no other person can ever do. Peasants are the people which you don't really want to become... they clean up after other people's mess.


I recommend this book to those reader's who like to read about Ancient History. To reader's who like to laugh a lot and something to read to enjoy themselves.

Dark Knights and Dingy Castles -Terry Deary (Prediction Came True!!!)

My Prediction actually came true!!! :)

My prediction about the people who are trying to get in the King's Castle and there would be no one... came true!! While they were trying to break down the door's which took them 1 hour to do, and found no one!! hahah :)

My second prediction about the Knight that had to cut his finger off by disobeying the King's order... umm... that really never happened hahah, but i wish it did, i wanted to see how a Knight suffers from disobeying orders :)
