Book Review: And Then There Were None


Hey guys and gals! There are literally no words to describe my purest love for this book. I, of course, assumed how it would unfold once I was about 40 pages into the book and then, WHAM! I was surprised. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes mystery/horror books. But, time to review it!

The book And Then There Were None was written by Agatha Christie in 1939, but was publisher again by St. Martin publishers in 2001. They are located in no other place than New York City, New York. So, with that in mind it is time for a very stripped and almost dry-ish plot so I don't spoil much.

By the title of the book, and the description on the back, you should figured that yes, all 10 people on Indian Island die. What makes their deaths so mysterious however is how they die and what piece of literature hints their deaths. With each people having to either go crazy or stay together, you learn of their terrible past and why they soon must fear their punishment for it.


The book is a mystery/horror book as people do die in mysterious ways. What makes this book mysterious, even though you can slightly guess how it will all go down, is which characters die and how everyone starts reacting to it. Basically, going from normal to insane. The horror part is the fact that their intentional feelings about everything become more and more crazed until they meet their end.

So, for my opinion as I am a professional. (Not really). I fudging called who was going to be the last one to die. I freaking knew it!!!!!! I really, however, loved this book and was surprised by the utter shock I got at the very end when you the letter that was found by one of the characters. Their letter alone made my jaw drop into my flor and all I could do was throw my book across the room and go "OMGZ WTF WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT YOU LITTLE <Enter profanities here>?!?!?!" So, yeah, I highly recommend this book.


So, for the: QUESTION OF THE DAY!

Book Review: Pride and Prejudice Volume 2


Hey guys and gals! Today is the second volume to Pride and Prejudice and I hope you all enjoy!

Just for a quick reminder, Pride and Prejudice was written in 1813, but translated by Penguins Classics in 1994. The author was Jane Austen and the publishing company is located in New York City, New York. The summary for volume 2 is: Jane, not acting as if she has been upset my Mr. Bingley's absence, has Elizabeth gone after the party when Lizzy went to see Charlotte. For 6 weeks, she meets Lady Catherine and her daughter with Mr.Collins and his never ending pompous bragging. However, in that time period, she sees Mr.Darcy and learns much about him and his thoughts about her. Her reaction causes problems between them and others while creating a different view of the people she thought she knew.

The story is a romance, but it becomes stronger when...

SPOILER ALERT!

Mr.Darcy confesses his feeling to her. Not only did she deny him, but when he left, she cried about it proving she didn't want to believe herself. However, towards the end, you read a letter he sent her and it explains why he is the way he is.

My opinion over the story was that I would recommend strongly even though I haven't put up the ending volume yet. (I'll either do it Monday or Wednesday.) I love how you learn more about people and how, even though Mr. Darcy is a jackass in the beginning, you can still pity him and forgive his actions when he opens up to Elizabeth. You fell for Elizabeth in the beginning but once he says his love to her, you beginning to question her actions from before and wonder if she was just in her words.


So, for the: QUESTION OF THE DAY!
Who is excited over the books ending? Please post your anticipation in the comments below or post a link to a video/blog if you have talked about excitement over the end to this book or another one.

Thanks guys! I hope you are ready for the week, because I sure am not.

Book Review: Volume One of Pride and Prejudice


Hey guys and gals! Sorry this took so long to upload, but I had to edit a lot of information so the blog wasn't too long and decided (While editing) that I will break each Volume of the book up into 3 different blogs for today and Sunday. There was also a Cowboys football game today (We won) and that distracted me for the longest time. But, with that in mind, lets get this started!

So, the publisher of Pride and Prejudice is, (as you can probably guess) Penguin Classic in 1996. The actual book was made in 1812 by Jane Austen. However, our publisher re-did it and it was redone in New York City, New York. A short summary to the book is there once was a family of 5 unwed daughters, a mother and father. The mother, at the time, wanted her daughters to be married and when she heard of a rich, single man moving in, she had to try. At first, the story appears to only follow him as one of the main characters, Mr. Bingley. However, when Jane Bennett, the oldest daughter, falls in love with him and vice versa, she tells her sister Elizabeth Bennett, the second oldest, who doesn't care for him or his friend Mr.Darcy as Mr.Darcy is very prideful. Mr. Darcy, fried s with Mr. Bingley, doesn't like her until one day she refuses to dance. At that moment, the relationships between the friends and daughters changes; some for the worse and some for the better.

The book is a romance, and greatly does it show. The love between certain characters is very sweet, but sadly easy to guess. However, the jealous characters help ease this problem, giving the story some humor and serious moments.


My opinion over the book is simple. I love the romance (which is a surprise) in this story. I love the plot so far (For volume one) and the characters with their personalities. I enjoyed the dialogue in some parts and the the character development. I, however, disliked the boring parts with Mr. Collins, the cousin and lover or Elizabeth, and how some of his of his parts felt more like filler than an actual story.

So, for the:QUESTION OF THE DAY?
Do you enjoy romantic books or not and why? Please post your answers in the comments below or post a link to a blog/video if you have discussed this already!

So again this was super late (

The Feelz :'( De Be So Realz...


Hey guys and gals! Yesterday evening (Like at 1 in the morning), I finished watching Pewdiepie play The Walking Dead: Season 2. Omg... dem feelz though.... I had never cried so hard then when I watched this game series...

So, I don't want to spoil the ending or anything, but OMG... At first I was shocked, then when he exploded into tears. I was so sad I paused the video and cried for like 5 minutes straight. That poor little girl... Clemmy clue... D:

But, besides the tears, I really enjoyed the games. The style of the game made it feel so alive where the realistic games don't for me. I know that sounds weird, but playing many realistic games, you come to expect the tears and sadness versus the walking dead style, you don't expect it as much. I believed this to be true because if you are over-exposed to some style in games, you being to build you a emotional tolerance for them. Do you feel me or understand what I mean? (Yeah, I don't either).

What is even weirder is the fact that I am more likely to cry over a video game then I am over a movie or T.V. show. Maybe I just know the movie stuff is so acted out, I can't feel bad about watching it. 

Besides all that, today is the last day, at midnight to be precise, That I will take any more book titles. So, hurry up if you are debating or don't be afraid of any title if you are uncertain. I am a writer myself and know how hard it is to expand yourself for fear of the hate.


So, for the QUESTION OF THE DAY!
What makes you more emotional: A movie or game? Please post your answers in the comments below or post a link to a video/post if you have discussed this already!

Thanks guys and hope you are staying warm out there!

Something New Every Sunday!


Hey guys and gals! Today, I am announcing some big news that may surprise, and even excite you, as I thought about it yesterday. Starting this Sunday, I will start posting book reviews over things I read and I will give my opinion on them. 

Now, some of you might not care or some of you might be excited. So, I will explain it will work and what is to be expected so everyone is at least on the same page.

Every Sunday, I will be talking (reviewing a book) that I have read the entire week. The review's first paragraph will have the title, author, publisher and etc. over the books information. (Plot included with no spoilers. Yeah, I hate those too) The second paragraph will be about what genre the book falls under and if it follows how the author wanted it to be presented. (Example: If it is a horror story and doesn't seem horrific, it will lose some points in the rating). The third paragraph will be about my opinion on he book and how I felt about it. )Don't worry, I do read quite and range of books so it is not like I only read text messages or philosophy books).


So, here is where you all will come into play. (OMG, every single time I type so in the beginning of the paragraph, I always capitalize both letters.) If you have a book you want me to review, let me know via in the comments or messaging me. (Keep in mind I am not filth rich so if you recommend your books and they are expensive, it won't happen.) I will begin taking new book titles Monday until Friday, prior to the week of the review. (Example: If you want me to review the book called "Red" on week two, then you must tell me on Monday-Friday of week one)((Get it?!)) and what I decide on will be reviewed that week. (If it has to be ordered of something, it might be a little longer)

So, for the: QUESTION OF THE DAY!
What book do you want me to review for, not next Sunday, but the Sunday afterwards (Sunday, December the 10th)? Please post your answers in the comments below and, if you can, put a link to a website where that book may be.

Thanks you guys and I can't wait to get some feed back!
