Interlude

OK guys,I'm back on and probably won't be until next week.Dad's coming back tomorrow and probably something's gonna go bad till sunday,regardless of whether I'm involved or not.

Ok apparently for the 1st time I'm gonna review books and apparently there's one that's highly NOT RECOMMENDED at all.You'll know why later :D

1)The Naked Truth by Leslie Nielsen (3 stars)
Basically this untrue true biography from the man who convinced me his name was untrue is practically full of spoofs.It's often lame,and there's moments of weirdness.Well,that's to be expected from an old funny guy with a knack for word puns.

2)A Case Of Need by Michael Crichton writing as Jeffrey Hudson (3 1/2 stars)
Crichton's first novel if I'm not wrong.Published circa 1968,when he was still studying medical.The story is about a man whose friend is arrested as a result of the death of a famous surgeon's daughter by abortion,considered illegal at the time.The man investigates alone to prove his friend's innocence,and also to find the real culprit.Expect the usual breathtaking twists and turns.

3)IT by Stephen King (3 1/2 stars) SERIOUSLY NOT RECOMMENDED
Yep,it's the book I was talking about.That's IT.IT is basically a horror story about 7 children,a Jew,African-American,fat person,boy with "asthma"(phsycologically),trash mouth and a stutterer and a normal girl who fought against a supernatural being in a small town of Derry Maine.They succeeded,but 27 years later,they had to confront it once more to end it for once and for all.

This book is a whopper.It beats Harry Potter and even some dictionaries in terms of pages (1100+ of small,aboutsize 10 font).IT constantly jumps back and forth through time,makng it occasionally surprising.

THE REASON why I wouldn't recomend this book is not because it's scary.....but the contents.In 1958,during the 1st confrontation,they didn't kill it,but just sverely hurt it.Like I said,the 7 consisted of 6 boys and a girl.All were between 11 and 12 years old.I did not understand at all when they were done with it,the worst thing happen.I don't know if the girl was nuts,but sudenly she just........ermmm.....well,allowed the boys to did you-know-what with her one by one.That was the most revolting thing I've ever read.

4)Darren Shan 1-3(4 stars)
*sigh* long story...Darren became a half vamp because his best buddy got bitten by a spider.
Apologies for the short but that was how it started.The best part of 1-3 was definitely the last.where they had to fight Murlough.And DArren loves Debbie...awwww...too bad he's gonna be legal for drinking when she's a grandma XD.

5)Darren Shan 4-6(4 1/2 stars)
This is where the real good stuff comes out.Darren and Crespley travel to Vampire Mountain to attend the council,where Darren met new faces,among them Gavner Purl,Arra Sails,Kurda Smhalt,Seba and the 3 princes.Girl power came along....Arra wasn't beaten for 11 years,Till Kurda did it.YAY! xD.And then.....NNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Darren failed the trials, and Kurda killed Gavner!!!ARGH.It was sad to see Arra go,poor Crespley,I thought it would be something happier.Women just died too quickly here in the story.AND WHAT??!!DARREN A PRINCE??!!I had to personally re-read the earlier pages just to understand.Sugoi!!

6)Monica Bloom (3 stars)
This is a pretty short one.Talks about boy whose dad was the head of a company and somehow a scandall occurs when the boy meets the neighbours' cousin which is cool?It's a bit dull really,nothing really clicked,just kisses.And the boy had to move and the girl was expelled from school for seeing him outside premises during a dance.Aww...

7)The Fourth Test (3 1/2 stars)
It all started from a mess a drunk man made in an old woman's place
Boy was accused,meets girl from school,his sister's preg and mom's accompanying her to the hospital while he stays at home and occasionally get's visited by her.Meanwhile the man tries to assert his power over him like he did to everyone else.

This one's a bit saucy,17 year old with a girl alone in the house together?Bad idea...it ends with the boy proving himself innocent and beating the heck outta that man.

That's all for now.I'll review movies called RabbitProof Fence and Australian Rules next week.Till then!!
