The Strange Case of Origami Yoda (Review)

If you are into funny, nerdy and quirky comedy then you'll like this book. This book is a Star Wars fan must read. The story follows a group of kids who solve their problems through the wise wisdom of the origami Jedi master Yoda. Some believe that Yoda is really taping into the force to help the kids in their problems. The main problem of this story is whether or not this one kid should ask this one girl out to the school dance. The book is comprised of the different times when Yoda's wisdom  comes into play to help "fix" a problem. If you believe in Yoda that's up to you. I recommend this book to anyone who's a fan of Star Wars.

Percy Jackson (Review)

If you like Greek mythology then you'll love this book. This book follows the newest son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson. Percy is a Half-Blood or Demigod, some one who is half god and half human. Poseidon is one of the big three gods who should not bare children because of a prophecy that states that they would cause a huge change in Olympus. Percy is hunted down his whole life because of this. Percy gets enrolled into this camp that trains demigods and help them channel their powers. In this book Percy gets framed for stealing Zeus's lighting bolt. This makes him take a journey to find it. His journey made him meet many of Greek mythologies monsters like Medusa, Harpies and Chimera. In the end Percy does find the lighting bolt and finds out who's the real lighting thief. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's into Greek mythology.    

The Sniper (Review)

This story takes place during the Irish Civil War. The story follows an IRA sniper who is on the roof of a building waiting. He knows that if he was to smoke a cig then the smoke would attract attention to him and he was right. Another sniper shoots the IRA sniper in the arm disabling him from shooting. The IRA sniper is not finished, he's smart enough to fool the other sniper into thinking that he was dead and then in the other sniper's "victory" kills him. The IRA sniper goes to the dead sniper's body wanting to see who it was that he kill and it turned out to be a plot twist. This a great story that made me want to become a sniper. I recommend this story to anyone that is into historical fiction and war.  

The Most Dangerous Game (Review)

Think of the movie Predator, and instead of an alien hunting you down its this one crazy rich guy who's bored. The book starts off with the main character being shipwrecked and finding his way onto an island. The main character finds that this one rich guy who too is a hunter lives on this island and hunts those who comes on it. The main character was able to out smart the hunter and was able to take him down. I really like this story. It makes you think of how cunning you have to be to be able to survive in the wild. The closest book I can relate this story is the Hunger Game, you have to kill or be killed in order to survive. I recommend this story to anyone wants a quick rush of adrenaline.    

A Streetcar Named Desire (Review)

Whenever I was reading this book all I could hear in my head was jazz music and the whole movement of the "Big Easy". This story follows the life of a husband and wife and the struggle that they faced when the wife's sister comes to live with them. Its the 1940's and the roles of each party in a marriage was very different. The sister had to stay with the wife because she was going through a mid-life crisis and need to stay with someone. Throughout the story the husband and the sister had many fights. The story keeps you attached throughout due to the intense drama. Overall this was a good story and also was adapted into a movie.

Ready Player One (middle)

Think of winning the lottery and all of the fame and wealth that comes with it. Now think of the hard ship now that you have all this money and everyone is now your "family" and wants a piece of the score. That's how Wade was feeling. He had just found what the whole world was searching for, for five years and now has to deal with the uproar that came with it. Wade had just became and overnight celebrity. Everyone wanted a piece of him. From being poor to now being part of the "1%" was a huge change. With fame comes consequences. People now want the information that he had and they were willing to kill him (which they try to do by blowing up his home) if he didn't comply with them. Over time Wade had made friends who also found one of the three keys. The story gets interesting with Wade falling in love with one of the people who is part of his group and to see their relationship form in Wade's eyes and not in the other's and see his depression that came with it. Wade and friends also find another of the three keys and there is a evil corporation that also wants they keys (these are the people that blew up Wade's home) and the are on a race to get to the prize at the end. 

Ready Player One (beginning)

Well how can I start, this book is really great. If you are into sci-fi and the 80s you'll love this book. The way I can explain this book is think of if before Steve Jobs died he created this virtual reality world where he hid a treasure and the treasure is that you become the CEO of Apple and you gain all of Steve Jobs money. That's what this book is. the creator of this virtual reality system called OASIS just died and is giving his fortune away to whoever finds a hidden "Easter Egg" in his creation. The story follows a young boy named Wade who is a "Gunter" a person on the hunt for the easter egg in OASIS. In the world of OASIS the money you have translates into the real world and vice versa. Wade is a poor boy who lives in these trailer parks where instead of the trailers being on the ground they are stacked one on top each other. The world has been on the hunt for the easter egg for five years and some people don't even believe it to be real, but that all changes when Wade finds one of the three hidden easter eggs which are keys that open a gate that you must pass to continue on the road to collect the prize at the end.
