Nighty's Book/Movie Review

[Nightpaw]

Okay, whenever I read/see a new movie or book, I will post my review here! I will probably post more books than movies since I am a fast reader. I don't think I will post many Warriors Books, because I don't want to be a surprise spoiler. The ratings will be out of 5 stars (of course!)

Ok, my first Book review! *hyperventilates*

Title: In the Forests of the Night (Book)
Author: Amelia Atwater Rhodes
Rating: ****
Comments: I really enjoyed this book. It was sophisticated and suspenseful. It is about a young, female vampire who struggles to gain dominance and respect among other vampires. It seems like an ordinary horror story, but trust me; this story is anything but ordinary. I was surprised to learn that the author was only 13 years old when the book was published. Many adult authors would not even be able to dream of writing with such class. The beginning was a bit confusing, but overall this book is very good.

The Golden Compass (Movie)
Rating: **
Comments: I did not enjoy this movie very much. It was nothing like the books, which were much better. It seems that the whole movie is just based on special effects. The plot was confusing and hard to follow and you needed to read the books, just to understand a bit of what was going on. The special effects were good, but at times, very overwhelming.

And that's the first of my Book/Movie reviews!

Fabulous! Yes I did not like the Golden Compass either. I thought it was purely commercial. Poor mister Pullmann....Ahh well, anyways no I have not read that novel but perhaps in good time I shall.

Okay, now for another book review!

Title: The Fight to Survive (Book)
Author: Terry Bisson
Rating: *****
Comments: I had no idea that I would love this book the first time I saw it. It was a Star Wars book and my first thoughts on it were "This book is going to be some stupid, nerdy, unintelligent garbage." I had no idea it was going to become my favorite book of all time. The plot is basically that a Star Wars bad guy, named Jango Fett and his son, Boba are living on a planet called Kamino. The book is in third person, but is mostly narrarates with Boba's thoughts and actions. The strange thing is, the book forces you to see the other side of the story. Suddenly, the Jedi are these horrible, murderous people and Jango and Boba are the victims. It's a very sad story and after reading it I went into a "ARGH! I HATE JEDI!" phase. It's my favorite book and I highly recommend it. It doesn't matter if your a Star Wars fanatic, or have absolutely no experience with sci-fi like I did. This book is still great. I know this sounds really corny, but it honestly changed my way of looking at life.

Cool! I was never really into Star Wars much. I'm more into Halo and Mass Effect! Seriously- Mass Effect: Revelations; Best book EVER!!! Contact Harvest is awsome too- I mean, it reveals so much! Why the prophets wouldn't let the humans join the Covenant? What is Sargent Johnson's past? Why do the Brutes hate the Elites so much? HOW WAS THE WAR EVEN STARTED!?!?!? *Gasps* Sorry- but I just ran out of things to read. But now- I can read- In The Forests of Night ^_^ !

I've already read In the Forests of the Night, and loved it. Along with other books by the same author.
