I really enjoyed how the author uses Romanian mythology to create this complex world in the series. The book moved at a fast pace and kept me interested until the very end. The only part of the book that I wished the author made would be to add more action because a lot people who read this book think it’s just about vampires in high school, but the second book features so much action. Overall I would recommend reading this book because it is the first book that introduces the characters and story plot in the six book series. I will read the next six books in the series because I really enjoy the storyline. I hope the action will pick up in the next books and I am excited to learn more about characters throughout the series. I think the book will be easy to relate to teenagers around the age of the main characters who are facing danger at every turn, but still are
7) I can imagine myself re-reading this book again in 10 years because this book is amazing and it is perfect for teenagers and young adult readers. This book is griping and beautifully written. When reading this book you get thrown into the apocalyptic setting. I would recommend this book to my friends because I loved it and all the other books in the series. It’s just great.
Yes I would recommend this book. It's sort of dark and twisted but it's still interesting reading about the characters development throughout the story and how Katniss and peeta's relationship grows," to this day I can never shake the connection between this boy Peeta Mellark." The author made up great characters and wrote a perfect story to fit them, and the quote represents
The Troubled Man Louie Zamperini a name that should go down in history. Louie could run a mile in 4:07.9 (indoors). He survived 47 days lost at sea, on a raft with 2 other people. He also survived 4 POW camps. In the book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand Louie Zamperini appears to be very determined and resourceful.
This book is a very good book. It is not one of my favorite books, but it is in, or somewhat close to, the top ten list. It has an intriguing story and has some humor in it to make sure that it isn’t all mellow.
Many pre-teens would enjoy this book because of the thrilling adventures Nic goes on with General Radulf for his sister. Also, the readers would enjoy the bravery and courage Nic shows while fighting many people. This is highly recommended for independent reading, due to some of the fighting scenes that go on throughout the book. This book would receive a 4.7 out of 5 for its imagery and strong

I have enjoyed many vampire movies over the years, long before they became the popular pop-culture genre they have become due to the success of The Twilight Saga films. One movie I have enjoyed viewing many times since its debut in 1994 is Interview with the Vampire. This film is an adaptation of the book Interview with the Vampire written by Anne Rice in 1973 and published in 1976. The movie was directed by Neil Jordan who also co-wrote the script with Anne Rice.
Some parts of the book were exciting and I couldn't wait to find out what happened next but other parts did get boring. There is particularly offensive language used in the version that I read so I think that you have to be mature enough to understand why it is being used.
I suggest reading this book because it has wonderful detail. I also suggest this book to people who like action books and to people who need inspiration or have daily challenges or her own. I recommend this book to ages 12 and up because there are some disturbing and violent parts. This book also has a lot of blood in it.
I would recommend this book because it ends the trilogy in a really nice and emotional ways. This book definitely has its flaws but its ending was very powerful and I enjoyed every second of it. This book is great for readers my age or a bit younger as it is a young adult book after all. I still think that it could appeal to a slightly older demographic as the book has some deeper political themes and is not afraid to get fairly dark at times. After reading this book I do not really know what is next for me to read. I think this because I was so caught up in these books that I have not considered reading other
Zombies, as we know them today, have mortified movie viewers for the last forty six years. Modern zombies first appeared in George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead in 1968. These zombies were the slow moving, staggering ghouls that one has seen in countless films, but in 1985, Return of the Living Dead featured a new kind of zombie, the first fast moving and talking ghoul. Both Night of the Living dead 1968 and Return of the Living Dead 1985 feature the zombie as its villain, but Return of the living dead’s fast moving, talking zombies are a more modern take on the movie monster.
Mentors feature prominently in the Gothic genre. From Dr Van Helsing in Bram Stoker's Dracula, who leads the young heroes into their quest to annihilate the Count, to Rupert Giles, the Watcher in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, older and more experienced adults have provided essential guidance for the younger protagonists of the genre. The differences in media of expression and the subsequent adaptations from novel to television series has not affected the presence of this character, more than a hundred years after the publication of Dracula in 1897. What also unites the novel and the series is their fin-de-siècle resonance.
Overall I would recommend this book to others as it is full of twists and characters that you will grow to care about. I do recommend that you read, Legend, first as it will make a couple of big reveals make much more sense. This book is perfect for people my age and probably a couple years younger as it is a young adult novel but people older than me also might enjoy its political themes. Next on my reading list is of course, Champion, the last book in the trilogy by Marie Lu so I can finish
I would strongly recommend people who are into horrific fiction books to read this book, this book creates and amazing story of the dangers of the world and i think if you are scared easily this is NOT a book for you, but if you like the thrill of a scary book you NEED to buy this as soon as possible. You will love this book as much as i do i promise.
The myth of the vampire existed in a multitude of civilizations and cultures under various names such is strigoi (for the Romanian territory), Apotamkin, etc. But no matter the name, vampires will always refer to gothic creatures that drain the blood of humans, thus being monstrous.
