THE HOBBIT

Hey guy's, Carter again, I just wanted to say thank you for reading this post even though most of them are few and far between, I have a new book to review

The Hobbit

J.R.R. Tolkien

I know what you are thinking "Carter, we've all heard about this book, we've all tried to read it, it's too poetic!" 

And to respond I would say "Yes, it is very poetic, than you captain obvious,"

if you get past that, I love the book.

Summary: Hobbits are calm simple folk, their most distinguished feature is their hard, hairy feet, which make hobbit be able to walk without shoes. Hobbits stand about three feet tall, and absolutely hate adventure. Adventure is a change, a very big change actually, and Hobbits do not like change very much. So the life of Bilbo Baggins when on as one might think without any adventure, until the day that a very old wizard came to the door. Gandalf the Grey, as they called him, forced this little hobbit into an adventure that a human would think was crazy. With the help of 13 dwarves, old Bilbo started the perilous journey to slay the evil dragon Smaug and relieve the dwarves' hearts from the loss of their treasure. Bilbo comes face to face with trolls, goblins, Gollum, eagles, wolves, (no orcs, for all of you who have seen the movie) and Smaug himself to regain the treasure.

Who's it for: Anyone that loves literature and is will to read the subtext

Genre: Fantasy

Setting: Middle earth, not much else to say about that

Pages: 333

What I thought: The book was very good, I liked the entire story and it most of the time kept your attention, yet it wasn't my favorite, you have to be able to deal with all the songs, I think they would be okay, if you could put the rhythm and tune in the book too, too bad that's not possible.

Rating: umm.... 3.5

Hope you like, if you want to, you can see the movie too, but it ends in the 6th chapter

Wow, it's been a while

Hey guys! This is Carter, it's been a while since I wrote anything. Life has been busy, I speak for everyone here, and there isn't a lot of free time to do this. I've been hearing a huge buzz on the book The City of Bones lately, so I thought I would try it. Here it goes... I might be a little rusty with book reviews.

The City of Bones 

by: Cassandra Clare

Summary: Clary Fray starts her story the night of a murder.... at a nightclub. With her friend, Simon, Clary wants to check out the seen, but Simon doesn't see anything, or anyone, but Clary does clear as day a man walk out. Clary is sure that this happened. Is she going mad, was she Hallucinating? Confused, she lets it go and leaves for the night. The next day, she sees the man he saw yesterday in a coffee shop, once again invisible to everyone but her. After a quick talk with him, Clary is brought into a magical world she knows nothing about and is forced to learn everything about this magic in a few days. her mom is kidnapped, Her home has been broken into, and now she lives with a bunch of loons that think they can do magic, What a normal day! Clary starts a quest to find her mother, and defeat her captor, Valentine. Clary meets werewolves, vampires, magicians (of course!), and Valentine himself to reach her mother and rescue her.

Page number: 496

Genre: maybe fantasy, I don't know how else to explain it.

What I thought: I though the book was okay, it was really intense and violent, but I liked the idea behind it.

Who's it for: anyone who would like a little more violence in something like the Red Pyramid would like this a lot!

Rating: Probable a 2.5, not one of my favorites.


Thanks for reading, and sorry about the drought
