Review: Entertain the End

Entertain the End by Katherine Applegate

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I kind of jumped into these books right after Animorphs ended. I think I mostly liked it because of the dark fantasy elements. The characters were where okay. Somehow I wasn't able at the time to really make a connection with any character. They all seemed to have one liner issues that worked against them to the point where I didn't believe that these kids could be real. Also it didn't help any that the ending of the last book was open ended. I like everything to be resolved.

Review: Artemis Fowl

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I first found out about the book back in the Harry Potter phenomenon days. The critics were claiming it to be a Harry Potter competitor."Lies" I said to myself. Harry Potter was in a class of his own and there was no room in his school for anyone else. Well I later fell out of love with Harry Potter and I gave this book a second chance and listened to the Audio book. The books had all the qualities that I loved. Action, Magic-Tech, suspense and a main character that I could really like and hate at the same time.

Review: Blade of the Immortal, Volume 1: Blood of a Thousand

Blade of the Immortal, Volume 1: Blood of a Thousand by Hiroaki Samura

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Picked this up back in high school when I was looking to read something with a little edge. "An immortal warrior contracted to help a young girl avenge her parents death". The artwork is beautiful and amazing. The action is beautifully drawn. Hiroaki Samura knows how to draw and tell a story to the fullest.

Review: The Forbidden

The Forbidden by L.A. Banks

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


It was okay. There was a lot of questing and looking for lost powers and new ones to unlock that I found intreging but after a while I just wanted the story to move along. Felt like a pokemon adventure with various level ups.

Paranatural and Other Stories by Zack Morrison

Paranatural

A few weeks ago I found a web comic called paranormal. It's about a boy who moves to a new town. He discovers that said town is full of ghost and spirits that he can see. He soon meets other kids at his new school that can see them to! As it turns out him and the other kids also have "super powers" and are able to fight certain spirits that get out of line.

 

What I like most about this web comic are the characters. They are very energetic and fun. Reminds me of the fun I had as a child watching Saturday morning cartoons. This web comic has great potential and I hope it will continue to be a fun read.
