Lovely rose!

Hi guys, earlier on I posted about my review about Gaston Leroux's horror classic. So are my personal opinions about the book in general, I will also be including bits of the musical on which it's base on.

The Story

I was very familiar with the story, especially since I had heard many of the familiar songs from the musical itself. When I read the book for the first time, I was really amazed on how the story is partially different from the musical itself.
Surely, it was a very intriguing story that every night I would listen to the audio-book and I would cry at the end, because the Phantom is...

The Chronicles of Narnia vs Harry Potter

Team Harry Potter?

Hi everyone, I had read both books and I would like to give my opinions on both of them. However, for those who haven't read it, go ahead and read it. You don't know what you're missing.

Harry Potter

The series was extraordinary amazing, because it's not predictable and J.K. Rowling invented whimsical words to make the story interesting and flow with the magical universe.
I am very happy that all of the 6 books were made into movies that I could watch it again and again! I hope to read the 7 book when it comes to Malaysia.

Great Expectation Review

posted by deedragongirl

The Wonderful Book Cover.

Hi everyone, this is my third book review and only this time, it is Charles Dicken's novel Great Expectations.

The Story

I was fascinated about Pip and his life, his relationship with his family and especially Estella. The love of his life, I always feel sad for both Pip and Estella after the latter married Pip's rival, Bentley Drummle. An abrasive and unintelligent young aristocratic.
The story is also about forgiveness, especially the ending when Estella redeems herself and reunites with Pip.

The Characters

My favourite characters are Pip, the lawyer Mr Jaggers, Estella and Abel Magwitch,...

Top 5 Characters I like yet everyone else hates

posted by LittleLottie

We all have our fandoms.
We all have those certain books we can’t stop talking about, those movies and TV shows we can’t stop re-watching, those video games we can’t stop re-playing, and those musicals that whenever the tour comes to town, we watch them again and again. We have all found escape into either an adventure or experience, whether it be in our modern-day world or a completely different place and time. Thanks to writers and directors, there are conflicts that get our hearts racing and more often than not, there are universal truths where we learn more about ourselves, others,...

Dracula: Review from Transylvania

posted by deedragongirl

Red with blood.

Hi guys, I managed to finish reading this spooky novel because Halloween is coming. So, here is my review on Bram Stoker's horror classic.

The Story

The format is like a journal, chronicling the events of the story and the history of Count Dracula, whom he claimed to be a descendant of Attila the Hun. It was a bloodthirsty and chilling novel that I could not go to sleep in the end!
I also feel sorry for Lucy Westenra, having to die so young and to become a vampire all thanks to Count Dracula. Prompting Jonathan Hawker, Dr. Van Helsing and Mina to retaliate by killing the Count.

For those who love reading

posted by TheGoldenHeart

Hi there everyone!

I'm a writer and I'd love some international support for my story that I already gave to my favorite actor Colin Morgan personally as a gift. He inspired me for a certain character and it was given more as a sign of gratitude for the inspiration rather than for him to read it. No idea if he ever would, but I just hope the effort I put into translating it just for him made him happy that day. What a brilliant actor ^^ Anyways - I've created a club and this account itself for communicating with future readers. I don't want to bother anyone with it, but how else could you let...

THE WORLD WITHOUT US

posted by juicyjossy9

Alan Weisman
2007-2008
St. Martin’s Press

– A fascinating eco-thriller … Gripping

The simple but irresistible premise of Alan Weisman's The World Without Us - what would happen to the planet if human beings simply disappeared - lit up imaginations even as it ignited controversy around the world.

Weisman's "thought experiment" examines what would happen in both the immediate and distant future to the land, the animals, the oceans, our cities, our art, and all manner of things we take for granted if we were no longer here. Would the seas again teem with fish? Would our concrete jungles crumble...

My Top 5 Strong Female Book Characters

posted by Pinnipedi

We hear a lot about sexism against females, and some people think this extends to books, which it probably does. A lot of books have no females in them, or only have weak female characters, like damsels in distress which are just there to be saved by males. But recently, there has been a lot of strong, resourceful new female book characters. Here are my favourite strong heroines- and two of them are from books written by male authors, so well done men for realising that females can be string too.

The Marble Collector Review

posted by deedragongirl

The Cover of the book!

Hi guys, this is my 3rd novel that I had read from Cecilia Ahern, and here are my thoughts on the novel. Are you ready?

The Story

I feel that the story is very sad, because it's about Sabrina who wants to know about her father's past. It was very similar to Nicholas Sparks' "The Notebook" because it was like the past about her father's childhood to adulthood and that he is suffering from either Dementia or Alzheimer's disease, most likely the former!

The Characters

Sabrina is a determine young girl, who tries to help with her father and to get to know him better. She uses his marbles to help...

SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE: The Revolutionary New Science of Human Relationships

posted by juicyjossy9

Daniel Goleman, 2006, 334 pages

Goleman in his groundbreaking book reveals that neural linkages between humans influence the brain and the body. These invisible bridges give us the ability to change people's moods, emotions, and health - as these people can do to us. Relationships not only shape emotional states and general psychological experience, but also the very physiological matter that makes our body. Our interactions with people influences our immune system, circulation, hormones, and breathing for example.

Social Intelligence expands from the one-person psychology within an individual...

Girl on the Train Review

The Book Cover.

Hi guys, I had read the book a few months ago and I was not at all impress about it for a number of reasons. So, here are my thoughts and review about it.

The Chapters

This was the number 1 reason why I was not very fond of, because the chapters were so confusing that I could not keep up with the story itself. It was like the author was jumbling with the chapters, especially the story-line itself.

The Story-Line

Speaking of the story, it was very slow pace that I could not keep up with it! It also has to much repetition in it, could not the author just get to the point of who is the killer? That...

Good Teens book!

posted by O_The_Scientist

There's this book, Fablehaven. It's a series, as well, with over four books in it. It revolves around Kendra and Seth Sorenson as they go to their grandfather's Estate. They discover a secret magical preserve, which they quickly learn is in danger from the Society of the Evening star, an evil secret society. Brandon Mull is the author, and he uses a very good writing style. The books had a lot of action in it, and a shocking twist at the end of the second book was completely unexpected. If you are young like me (I'm 14) or younger, (maybe 15) you should really like Fablehaven. It's nice and thrilling.

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON MUSIC - The science of a human obsession

posted by juicyjossy9

Daniel J. Levitin, 2006, 320 pages

Why human beings make and enjoy music is, in Levitin’s telling, a delicious story. In this unprecedented meeting of art and science, rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin explores the connection between music – its performances, its composition, how we listen to it, why we enjoy it – and the human brain.

Taking on prominent thinkers who argue that music is nothing more than an evolutionary accident, Levitin argues that music is fundamental to our species, perhaps even more so than language. ‘This Is Your Brain On Music’ is an ear-opening,...

THE WORLD IN SIX SONGS – How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature

posted by juicyjossy9

Daniel J. Levitin, 2008, 354 pages

Could music unlock the mystery of who we are and how we think?

An unprecedented blend of science and art, Daniel Levitin’s bestselling debut, This Is Your Brain on Music, changed the way we understand how music gets in our heads. Now, in what is being called a tour de force by leading scientists, he presents his audacious theory of ‘six songs,’ the key to how music shaped humanity across cultures and throughout history.

Preserving the emotional heritage of our lives and of our species, music from its very beginning, was allied to dance, as the structure...

ROMEO AND JULIET
Romeo and Juliet (1595?) is justly famous for its poetic treatment of the ecstasy of youthful love. The play dramatizes the fate of two lovers victimized by the feuds and misunderstandings of their elders and by their own hasty temperaments. Shakespeare borrowed the tragic story of the two young Italian lovers from a long narrative poem, The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet (1562) by English writer Arthur Brooke. Shakespeare, however, added the character of Mercutio, increased the roles of the friar and the nurse, and reduced the moralizing of Brooke’s work. The play...
