Book reviews

Book reviews are just that: a review of a book. They can be used for news articles, blogs, or academic journals. A book review is more than just a book report. It can give the reader more of an insight into not just the book, but the author as well. Most authors write of what they know. For example, some authors have backgrounds in law enforcement so they write about cases they know or have worked. Other authors research groups of people, for example the Knights Templar, and write of what they

Review of: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It seems sometimes like the market for young adult literature is written down to the readers, almost in a condescending manner. That is why a book like The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is so refreshing in this sea of cookie cutter romances and fantasies. While classified as a young adult novel, it deals with very serious themes. The book’s cover comes printed with this label: “It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has

The Jungle Book is a movie based on the story of a young boy named Mowgli who was found in the Jungle by a panther named Bagheera. Bagheera found the boy the day his father lost his life to a tiger named Shere Khan but before the tiger ended the man’s life he was burned by the Red Flower, man's’ creation known as fire. Bagheera had taken Mowgli to the animals he knew would raise the young boy like their own and that was the wolves. Akeila was their Alpha and Raksha was the only mother Mowgli knew

After putting off reading this book for over a year, I decided it was time (plus it was just sitting there on my shelf, waiting to be read so I HAD to.) Bold Tricks just wasn’t as good as its predecessors. I am not one for angsty novels but if there is anyone who can make me enjoy one, it’s Karina Halle. She knows how to make angsty situations come off as realistic rather than annoying and bothersome. It’s what sold this series to me in the first place. Camden, Ellie and Javier have always been complex

best book in the world. The Graveyard book, written by Neil Gaiman is a stupendously well-crafted book detailing the life of Nobody Owens, or Bod, a boy whose family has been ruthlessly slaughtered. Bod crawls to the graveyard next to his house, where the inhabitant ghosts take him in and adopt him, where he lives until Bod decides that he wants to live with his own kind: the living. While it is true that all books open up worlds of literature, no book does it better than the Graveyard book of leaving

Friend, The book I’m currently reading is called The 39 Clues #10 Into The Gauntlet it is about 5 teams competing for the prize of The Master Serum witch gives a person the characteristics of each Cahill Branch. What may interest you is the fact that all the books come with little cards in the beginning of the book that u collect for in game cards and play with others from all around the world while descripting codes from the book as you read throughout the story. Also, if you like mystery books this is

IR Book Review I picked the book called “Find Me” by Romily Bernard, because my favorite genre of books are mystery. I liked how the cover had a face in the background of it, you could tell it was a girl face because of the hair. The cover also had “Find Me” written all over it, so it made the book stand out a lot. My first impression on the book was that it was going to be a good mystery book just by the cover of it. After I looked at the cover, I read the summary inside of the book and it just

In The Dark Side of science by Heather E. Douglas that published in the November (2011) issue of The Scientist, promotes the use of forethought on studies done by scientists. Dr. Douglas focuses on the great need for the studies done to include the negative outcome on life vs just the positive. In a closer reading Dr. Douglas is humanizing the situation to connect with scientists explaining why we need to take responsibility for our actions. Dr. Douglas feels it is in the scientist of who discovers
