THE KITE RIDER (book review #3)

Have you watched a kite flying recently? Can you visualize one now, bucking around in the wind, sailing and diving? Now, can you imagine being up there with it, riding the kite? That is what the boy, Haoyou, does in this amazing story set in thirteenth century China.
What happens to get Haoyou up there in the clouds? Well, It's a fantastic story of revenge and double dealing, and obedience to one's elders, and it all begins with the terrible sudden death of Haoyou's father. Haoyou's father is a poor seaman, but he has a beautiful wife, and is the envy of many because of her. 
It is envy that makes Di Chou, the first mate, send Haoyou's father up into the sky on the wind tester, to test the omens for their next voyage. That is a kind of kite riding too, but Haoyou's father dies of fright. And no sooner after Haoyou's father is out of the house, Di Chou turns up to propose marriage to Haoyou's newly widowed mother.
I loved this book. It has all the life and excitement of ancient China, from the foul-smelling waterfront at Dagu, to the fabulous Jade Circus with the its Chinese acrobats and Mongol horsemen, to the magnificence of the Kublai Khan's summer camp. Highly recommended!

All Because Of A Cup Of Coffee #10 (10th Book)


This book is about a mouse called Geronimo Stilton. And this time he was in a coffee shop. While drinking coffee he notices this beautiful rodent or as he calls her "the most beautiful rodent in the world!" called Stephanie Von Sugarfur. One of the funny things that happens is that Geronimo's tail was in the toaster. Although Stephanie was laughing at him, he still wanted to go after her to prove his love. When Geronimo's family heard about him falling in love, they were worried, especially his cousin, Benjamin because Geronimo once told him that "there is no one better to love instead of you" So Benjamin was very upset and dissapointed. Then Geronimo's family (Thea, Trap and Benjamin) tricked him to go to a place called "Butterfly Island" to find the Legendary Valley Of Cheesettes (The Eighth Wonder Of The World) with them.He decided to go because he wanted to impress Stephanie, however, Geronimo was not a adventurous type. He hated flying, riding on boats, marching, camping e.t.c. During the trip he was always sick, he didn't quite enjoy it As they arrived back, Geronimo's family went home and he went to his office to get back to work.As he opened the door, Stephanie Von Sugar was sitting there, and she was in love with him now! At the end Geronimo didn't like her anymore. She even invited him to dinner at the Mayor's Mansion but he still said "NO" So everything went back to usual...Although he kept getting chase by girls. Geronimo hid in a closet then the girls went away. So pretty much eveything was still the same.

I did enjoy reading this book but it was not as funny as the others I read and it related to romance, that's not really my favourite genre. Overall this book is still very good to read.

Then- Morris Gleitzman

Then is the 2nd and the final book of the series of the touching, realistic books. A 183 paged book in the genre of tragedy, written by Morris Gleitzman, it continues from the last word of the previous book.

Who survives? Chaya was very unfortunate. She was shot on the head. I would have mayb considered it lucky to be gone- she already had an injured arm. After burying thier friend, Felix and Zelda ran as fast as they could, holding hands and trying to avoid all empty spaces. Soon, another Nazi train passes. They get down and lie flat. Zelda wishes that if one gets shot, the other does too. They pray to Richmal Crompton, their hero. There prayers work. They run and run until they come across a hole in the ground. There are children inside it. Dead Jewish Children. There is blood everywhere. The Nazis spot them. they hide in the bushes. After spending the night, they set off to find parents. Parents who could take care for them.

They were lucky, they found a truck driver. He told the children to hop on and to help themselves with his turnips. Zelda jumps on instantly, Felix notices a notice on the truck saying: JEWS. Reward for each Jew captured and handed over. 200zloty and 1 bottle of vadka. Felix seizes Zelda and he jumps off, together. Soon, a lady comes and drags Felix and Zelda off by their collars and ears, insulting Jews and slapping Zelda whenever she twitched. Then she calls two Nazis but pretends to not know where they are hiding. The Soldiers notice the stackof hay they were hiding in. They start stabbing. The woman bites her lip. The soldiers shurgg then go off angry. That is how they met Genia, their new parent. In the forest, she was pretending to be cold in case the Jews were around. She explains that she hates Jews. But hates Nazis even more! She dyes their hair from black to yellow. From this day, Zelda and Felix had to live by making up stories. They were not Felix and Zelda anymore. Felix was not Jewish orphan anymore. He and Zelda were now Catholic Wilhelm and Violetta, whose parents were killed and were going to live with their auntie, Genia, and their uncle, the truck driver they met before. They are now in disguise to survive.

However, someone is bound to find something fishy. This someone is Cyryl, the son of the owner of a shop. Cyryl asked if Felix wanted to be his friend, join is gang. Felix agreed. He had to pass a test. Pull your pants down and show the private. They wanted Catholics only, not Jews. Felix just turned and rejected. Since then, Cyryl suspected him.He saw Felix steal a "William" book from his family's store- a store where they sell things that the Jewish owned. He accused Felix in front of the Nazis. Cyryl was punished. When it was Felix's birthday, (of course a false one), Genia and Zelda went out to buy him a present. After a moment Felix runs to the town to give zelda her protection locket, showing who she is. He discovers them but prays it's not them. They were tied on posts with ropes around their neck, they were dead. Felix doesn't feel like a coward anymore to hide, to disguise. He wanted to kill. Amon, a Hitler youth boy who saved him and Zelda from the Nazis one night, gave him a locket, something he found in Zelda's coat, it was a locket- not silver likeZelda's. A gold one with a picture of Him and Zelda. His birthday present. He carries on him plan, he blows up the Nazis' place and stays hidden forever in the dark. He says that he is Zelda's evidence. "She was only six, but she had a heart of a 10 year- old". And he stayed hidden forver.

This is the end of the book. A very tragic end. I really wish that Cyryl never turns up in the book. This way, Genia and Zelda would have survived. Only if his birthday was a few weeks later, why November 29th? Why the day Genia and Zelda were decided to be gone? But I guess this is how life was like for the Jews and Jew supporters. I consider myself extremely lucky that I live in the 21st century where more parts of the world is in peace. No more Nazis lurking around.

Joey Pigza, the main character of the book, cannot sit still for one minute and is a annoying, hyper and crazy little kid. He sharpened his finger in the pencil sharpener, swallowed a key, and ran with scissors. The first few times when he swallowed the key, there was a string attached to the end of it so he can pull it out. Mrs Maxy, his teacher, was fed up of him playing with his key all the time. So she took it out, up his throat and cut the string at the end, and slip the key into his pocket. Joey then swallowed the key again, but he forgot that the teacher cut the string at the end of the key, so he could not pull it back up. Mrs Maxy then brought him to the nurse and the nurse gave him some medicine for him to throw up the key. Joey Pigza had to go to a Special Education Centre where there are people to help him be a better person.

A Fabumouse Vacation For Geronimo #9 (9th Book)


This is about a mouse called Geronimo Stilton. And THIS time, he is planning to go on a vaction because he is VERY TIRED AND ANNOYED by all the work he has to do. Geronimo wants to spend his time in a place called "Happy Tail Island." When he was about to leave, his work was interupting again. So he had to go back to work as usual and miss his flight! Time after time, he kept missing his flights because emergencies at his company is going crazy...Finally one day, he was about to catch a plane named "The Dump Express" because that was the only trip that his travel agent could find him. Geronimo was booked in a hotel called "Ratty Tatty Hotel" which is kind of a awkward name for a HOTEL. Unfortunately, he had to share a room with his newspaper assistant, Pinky Pick, who drives him mad! I find it VERY funny when Pinky Pick tries to annoy Geronimo. Although Pinky causes trouble for him. He still had to follow her around and had to look after her. At the end he got back safely with Pinky Pick.

Now I'm really addicted to Geronimo Stilton's books because they are ALWAYS 100% funny,entertaining and educational. I atlease read 1-2 of his books a day. So I hope I can finish my whole colection of his books as I have a few. Yet again, I don't have any complaints about this book because I think it's AWESOME

Molly Moon's: Hypnotic Time- Travel Adventure


Author: Georgia Bying

Pages: 355

Genre: Comedy, Adventure

Reviews on the book 2 :

So this book is about a girl ,Molly and her pug, Petula. 
...It all begins when a super-rich maharaja "turned" them back in time to the 19th century of India because it was a part of her plan to try to stop her from learning her hypnotic skills... and of course at the end she realize and knows that whether she was at the beginning of time or the end time or in the middle of it, she would make the most of every moment...

My opinion about this story is that I don't get the jokes in the book so I don't find it funny :(
And  it did said on the book that it was fast, funny and original but i have to disagree with some of it because i don't get why its fast because its 355 pages...( and i finally finish the book ) and that quite a lot for me... and I'm not really sure thats its original either... But what I like about the book is that i find it very interesting and very adventurous... ish but the more I read it the more curious i get ... I'm always like what is going to happen next?! haha... And I also like the character Petula, i find in quite cute except for the fact that it is blue on the front cover... so yah, I like how it is very interesting and exciting and the characters are cute and I didn't enjoy the book that much because it wasn't like what it was suppose to be like... :)

The mixture finally cooled down and he tipped all the REAL medicine down the sink and his into the bottle. It was time for him to give his grandma the medicine... she drank it. She flew up into the sky like a jack-in-the-box and she didn't come down! But when she did came down, she grew like sooo high up.

Such a random book!!! :)

Once- by Morris Gleitzman

Once is a 150 paged fiction book, which belongs in the genre of tragedy, written by Morris Gleitzman which is based on the deadly and woeful 2nd World War.

Felix is a orphan in a Catholic orphange who doesn't know his true identity. He is actually a Jewish orphan who lost his parents due to the Nazis. Nuns found Felix and pitied him so they hid him in their "home". Even when the nuns told him the whole story- about who he is, Felix always stayed optimistic, believing that one day, his parents would show up all healthy and happy. When finally he realised that they weren't coming to "rescue" him, he decided to find them himself without knowing about the Nazis lurking around. This is where Felix starts his dangerous adventure.

It was only a few hours till he met a child around 7-years-old. This child was playing "Capture the Jews" with his sister. He asked Felix whether he wanted to be a Nazi or a Jew. Felix didn't answer. He had no clue what were Nazis. Felix was extremely stunned when the child explained that Adolf Hitler was capturing Jews and torturing them. Until this day, Felix was told that Hitler was a nice guy- who helped people. He just turned away worried and continued his journey. As he walked and walked, he discovered a burning house and rescued a girl, appearing to be the only one inside alive. Soon after the impatient and spoilt girl become conscious, he finds out that her name is Zelda. He fears to tell her the truth about her parents death, she was only 6! She would be heart-broken at such an early age. When they reach the nearest town, they are raised by Barney, a good-natured man who took care of Jewish orphans, treating them like his own children. He tells Zelda the truth but unlike he had expected, Zelda stayed cool because of her pride but in the end, her face gets covered in tears. He also discovers that on Zelda's locket, there is a picture of her parents- her father was wearing a Nazi Uniform!!! For the 1st time after he ran away from the orphanage, he felt at home. But stories always have a twist in the plot. The Nazis discover their shelter and the party is sent straight away to the Death Camp. Felix tries to stop Zelda from coming as well, but she insisted that he was the only left family for her and that they should stay together.

On the way, Felix finds an exit from the train except they needed everyone's help. Everyone kicked and punched one of the wooden walls and eventually, it opened. Felix encouraged many people to jump off the train, it would save them. No-one dared to try. Except for one brave man who jumped off the train. In a flash, he lay dead on the grass. They realised that there were machine guns on top of the train. However, Felix thought that it would be better than dying in the death camp. Maybe, they would be lucky, maybe god would help them and save their lives. Felix and Zelda decided to jump. Fortunately, Chaya was also persuaded. The 3 of them held hands and jumped, the mystery/ question is: Who survives?

I can't answer that question. I have to read the 2nd book to find out. I honestly think that so far, the plot was more than what you would have expected.There were many surprises for young, daring Felix. I admire Felix's character, how he is optimistic and bright. Always looking at the positive side. If I was in his shoes I wouldn't have been able to comfort Zelda as well. I would have probably ended up in tears just the same. I would pour out tears every night wishing to see my long gone parents. I would cry and sob and wail for my parents. Also, Felix is amazingly brave. How could a person take a path when they know that they would be very likely to face death? Not that I fear death but even I wouldn't have thought about such thing. When I read the part when Felix announces his decision to take the risk and jump, I was shocked by how he could say that so easily. However, as he explained, I,like Chaya was persuaded. If I was there on the train leading to my staircase towards death, I would have risked it. I would have jumped. In addition, I feel that Zelda and Felix have a strong connection with eachother. A connection of love and caring for eachother as if they were a family. So strong that you could say that there was a rope tied around them. Felix tries to stop Zelda from facing peril while Zelda, with her stubborn character, required that they were one. When one goes, the other follows. Like when the needle goes, the thread follows. They aren't as useful than when the two are together. This story is truly touching so far, I hope it continues to be. I really do wish for a happy ending, but the story seems to be leading me to a tragic ending.
I can't really say that the story is finished but if I was allowed to give a rating, I would give 5 stars out of 7.

The Mouse Island Marathon #30 (30th Book)


"The Mouse Island Marathon" is writen similarly to a diary. This is a story about a mouse called Geronimo Stilton. He's just a normal mouse, he runs a newspaper company called "The Rodent's Gazette". And he is the editor and person who writes adventure stories from what he had expierience in his life so far. In this story he was planning to go to this marathon, but he wasn't really sure if he would want to do it. So one day when he was working, a proffesional trainer called "Champ StrongPaws" came in out of random and told Geronimo that he will be training Geronimo for the marathon. So every morning he would have to wake up REALLY early, he does all types of crazy stuff that the trainer asks him to do. And it's halarious how everytime he would write in his diary (which we ferer to a book). Everytime I read it, his complaints and things like that really make me laugh. When it was the day of the marathon, Geronimo actually did really well. He wasn't in it to win it. He actually helped alot of people along the way. At the end he manage to meet this girl who liked him because he saved her and a quite alot of people. Her name was Sugarsnout.It's also funny how he talks about her but in a funny way...so that's the end of this story. What I like about this book is that it is funny, and whenever there's like a verb it would actually make animations of that word which I find intresting and entertaining to be in a book.It also has some cool excercises you can try at the end. I have no complaints for this book.

Shopaholic: Ties the knot


1# New York Times Bestselling Author: SOPHIE KINSELLA
 
Pages of book : 406 

Genre: Romantic comedy ish

Reviews on the book : 

There is a first part and a second part to this book, the first part was made into a movie but the book I am talking/typing about is the second book/part. Ok so I'll just talk about the first book very quickly, so this girl her name is Rebecca and she is a shopaholic she loves the feeling of going shopping.....etc. but she spends her money too much that she had to borrow money from the bank and when the director ( i think ) of the bank ask for the  money back she doesn't have enough and so she needed a new job and this Man, his name is Luke, and i think he is a magazine editor or something but anyways... they fell in love at the end. OK now to the second book ... after a while of Luke dating Rebecca, he finally proposes to her. She was soo excited but the problem was that Rebecca's  mother wanted her to wear the old fashioned wedding gown her mother used to wear. And Rebecca's mother also wanted a "Romantic" outdoor  wedding for her daughter. But on the other hand Luke's luxurious mother wanted a totally opposite idea. But obviously as always, the book ends with Rebecca being saved... :D ... But I don't find the book that interesting thought i think its too long... it quite boring if its too long in my opinion. For example " There must be a way out of this... There must be. =.= ".... I know its to make it dramatic and stuff... but i think we could improve it! Or at least add something instead of it because it takes up sooooo muchhh sppppaaaaceee :( ... well to me...its my opinion so ....yah... :P


The Bar Code Tattoo

Author: Suzanne Weyn
Pages: 252
Genre: Horror/Sci-fi

Kayla, an average girl in the year 2027, experiences great pains and suffers he greatest things ou could ever imagine.

First, this Barcode tattoo comes 'barging' into her life and kills her father mysteriously. Next, her mother turns alchaholic,- taking drugs and drinking until she feels unconcious. But there was a bright side too. She met this group called the 'Decode' who was againt bar code tattoos. In that group, there was Zekal, who she falls in love with which motivaes him to dump Nedra nd come to Kayla. Kayla, since she joined the group, said that she would never get a tattoo but she had to before she turned 18 or it would be committing a crime and she would have to go to jail or worse, be sentenced to death. After a while, she finds out that Zekal, her love, betrayed he group- he was a double agent. He was working fo tatto gen- the company which made the tattoo. He was sent on a mission to seduce people to get the tattoo. Kayla was their next victim. She couldn't stay there anymore so she runs away, changing her appearance eery time she gets the chance. She finally arrives at a place called Whitefaced Mountain which Kayla has visioned at times. There, she meets Mfumble, another member of the group, who also ran away because of the barcode tattoo. They soon fall in love with each other, at the same time, also discovering new powers that they never knew they had, like healing people with teir minds and being able to see other people no mater how far apart they are.
I think this story is like a warning to everyone that if people don't get to have their own individuality, some people might turn out like this- hurt, betrayed and felling like you just lost everything.
I didn't really understand the last part though. It didn't make sense to me. It was quite random.
Something like this comes out in the bible- when humn beings start to have lines and numbers that represent the number 666, the world will collapse and fall apart.
I liked this book because i like horror books wich have a thrill.

SAS Hero

The book i read was about a squad of highly trained soldiers sent into iraq to gather information about the enemy. The squad was suprisingly attacked and only one person survived. This book was full of suspense because of the way the author wrote about how the soldiers were shocked and how they were scared when they came in contact with the enemy. This book was also based on a true story in 1991 when the gulf war started. The aurthor also made the charecters in the squad look like total cowards because of the way they were panicing about the enemy trying to hunt them down. This book also made me feel sorry for the squad members because of the way they were captured and the way some of them fought until the death. Also i wondered if the training they had was enough to survive and if there training was harder than spartan training, the elite warriors of the ancient world. Thesoldier who survived was after shipped back to England because of the service he dedicated to his country. The aurthor made it clear that the survivor was never going to be the same because of the way he described the feelings and emotions of the soldier. I think that the aurthor is going to publish the second book of the series soon.

How to Train Your Dragon



The book How to Train Your Dragon is funny and very intense. It's a story about a boy name Hiccup and and how he came from a nobody into a hero that kill the biggest dragon on the planet.


The book start when 10 boys, including Hiccup, was out to catch a dragon and they have to train their dragon for Thor'sday Thursday. In this event, they will have to show that they can train their dragon to become an official member of the Hooligan Village, which there were only Vinkings. But if they fail, they will be thrown into the exile and into a miserable and full of death world. So the event of catching a dragon wasn't going as plan and it was the worst catch ever. But they all manage to make it out a life from the disaster.

Their assessment is to train the dragon they got and prepare for Thor'sday Thursday, so our main character, Hiccup, had difficulty because Toothless, his dragon, won't listen to him. But he got a just a little luck. On the Thor'sday Thursday, because of toothless that started a fight, that fight was also followed by Snotlout's, who hates hiccup, dragon also continued the fight. Because the boys wasn't able to tell their dragon to stop the fight, they're all fail. And they got the whole left of the day to pack up and get ready to be thrown into the exile.

The next day, their luck turned up, there were 2 Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus dragons appear on the beach near their village, and the failed boys made a plan to fight back both the 2 sleepy dragons. In this plan, Hiccup even nearly got killed, but for all the boys' bravery, they all pass the teat and got into either tribe, the Hooligan are the Meathead tribe. And they killed both the 2 Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus dragons.

I like this book because of what is the event. The book always give me excitement to read more and more. I also never knows what will happen, I thought that the story have to go in this way, but suddenly, it went another way. I love the adventure of boy who comes from zero to a hero. There were also a lot of many hilarious events. Basically, I had found out more joy from reading this book.
