Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children Review

I LOVE this book(:
So original and intresting.. I gave up guessing what happens next, because I'm always wrong. (Which is good I suppose, because what ACTUALLY happens is always better)
5 stars.



PLOT: Jacob's grandfather always told stories of kids who could float above the ground, become invisible, and do incredible things. But when he is killed, Jacob goes to the town his grandfather grew up in and finds an amazing world he always thought imaginary..

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Review

It's not about what I thought it was.. But it's really intresting and I can tell the author put a LOT of work and time [10 years] into researching the subject.
4.5 stars.


PLOT: Not really a "plot"... but Henrietta Lacks was diagnosed with cervical cancer and while going in for treating, some of her tumorous cells were taken. Normal cells can only regenerate so much, and then die, but hers didn't. The book is about Henrietta, her cells, and the family she left behind.

L:Change The World Review

I love this book. And in the live action, Kenichi Matsuyama does an AMAZING job of portraying L.(:



PLOT: This follows Death Note's L. Lawliet, but has almost nothing to do with the series. Here, L has to take care of Maki, a scientist's daughter, who saw her father murdered with a virus for which he was making the antidote. His murderers are after Maki, who has the antidote---and the virus. L doesn't have long to help her, as he has already written his own name in the Death Note (so that Kira could not.)  In 23 days, how much can he really do?
**In the live action, L takes in Near (Nate River) as well. The live action is most known for once L's final sentences- "You alone cannot change the world."

4 stars.

The Red Pyramid Series Review

There are 3 books in this series, and I love them all. :D  Very creative, and it seems that the author did a lot of research to make the best story possible(:
4 stars.



PLOT: Sadie and Carter Kane were seperated after their mother died; Sadie with her mother's parents, Carter with his father. Now the time has come for them to reunite, and to travel with their father into a world they didn't know existed.

A Child Called "It" Review

Soo sad.. but I love how Dave had the courage to write something like this, and accounts those events so in-depthly (if that's a word?).
4 stars.


PLOT: There really is no plot, the book is just a true account of his abuse, the 3rd worst account of abuse in California history.

LA BB Murder Cases Review

Death Note: Another Note- The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases  does not truly have much to do with the Death Note series.
5 stars.



PLOT: The story takes place a couple years before the Kira case. Naomi Misori has been selected by L. Lawliet, the world's best detective, to find an explanation and culprit behind some strange murders in Los Angeles. While at a crime scene, she finds a strange man under the bed. She has hardy any choice, but to work with him- This could be her downfall.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Review

This book is so much better than I expected.(:
5 stars.


PLOT: The story starts by telling how the author got the manuscripts to even write the story. Then the story of Abraham Lincoln's obession with killing ever vampire in America begins.

The Boy In The Striped Pajamas Review

This book is actually kind of tragic.. But it's well written.
Though the writer made 9 year old Bruno much too wise beyond hid years, if you ask me.
4 stars.


PLOT: 9 year old Bruno is forced to move (for his father's "job") to a home outside a concentration camp, though he doesn't even know what that is. He soon meets a boy from the other side of the fence...

Kuroshitsuji Review

Awesome anime and manga(:
The anime only follows the manga up to book 5.
I personally like the manga best.(:
5 stars.



PLOT: Ciel Phantomhive is a 12 year old boy in England. What makes him different is that he is EARL Phantomhive, and has a demon for a butler. A contract keeps them bound. So no one can tear them apart.. right?

Death Note Review

The anime follows the manga exactly until an extra scene in the manga at the end.. The live-action is a little different. AND I LOVE IT. One of my favorite anime/mangas(:
5 stars.


PLOT: Light Yagami is the smartest student in Japan. Ryuk the Shinigami is no where near the smartest Shinigami in the Shinigami Realm. But the two meet because of a Death Note that Ryuk dropped. The Human Who's Name Is Written In This Note Shall Die-That's where it begins.

Anna Dressed In Blood Review

This book is awesome!! I can't want for the sequel,  A Girl In Nightmares, in November!!
5 stars.

PLOT: Cas follows in his father's footsteps, of killing ghosts. When he moves to a small town in order to kill a stubborn ghost named Anna, he gets much more than he bargains for.

City of Bones Series Review

I love this series. Cassandra Clare is so original makes readers keep guessing. I'm someone who always tries to figure out the outcome of a story before it actually happens, but with this series, I was hardly ever right. 5 stars.


PLOT: Clare's mother is taken from her, coincidentally after meeting a strange group of teens known as Shadowhunters, but unbeknownst to her, she is one too! She must train to become a Shadowhunter, even as her mother had tried to shelter her from that lifestyle. Clare's mother has an intresting past all her own, and Clare finds out about an amazing world she was always meant to be a part of, but didn;t have the chance until now.
