The
book lament was not one of my favorite books; in fact it was one of the worst
books I read this year. I can say that because I’ve been reading very good
books this year like the very intriguing series, the hunger games and other
books like the Invention of Hugo Carbet and other really awesome graphic novels.
I know that this book is really boring and that you should only read this his
book if you can’t go to sleep at night. This book was just not for me, it was
slow paced and there wasn’t enough action, instead there was a lot of dialogue.
The characters would say stuff, not do. I know the author tried to put some humor
into the book but that’s where I think she messed up. Well, I’ll stop criticizing
this book because there were still some good parts like when Dillon was in danger;
I only think that, that part was good was because there was some action. I can’t
lie; there was a good amount of action but still not enough. If they tried to
put in more action like the Percy Jackson series or like the Hunger Games
series, the book could have been close to the top of my good books list, if I had
one.

Romeo and Juliet
I decided to read Romeo
and Juliet manga edition and i got to tell you, I don't want to spoil it
because the pictures were actually pretty well drawn; I give whoever was the
artist a lot of credit. He or she, whoever drew the pictures knew when to make
it look serious and when to make it look cartoony, like if the characters were
joking. Like a very humorous character was Mercutio,
he was always joking around, he was laughing at his friend Romeo because Romeo
was almost always in a terrible situation. That's definitely not a
true friend. Well any ways, I’ll
just summarize the book for you, if you don’t know what happens in this book
than read this. Romeo and Juliet fell in love, the want to marry each other, they
make out, and get caught hide run and stuff like that. So my main point is that
you should read this book, well I liked the illustrations much better than the
words because it gets confusing when you try really hard to understand what William
Shakespeare is saying.

Review on Prophet of Yonwwod and Hamlet
I finished the book Hamlet by Shakespeare and
I gave the book the Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanne Duprau another chance but still I got bored of it.
The only reason I gave the book another chance was because I read some reviews
about the book and people said that this book is a good science fiction book. I
always liked science fiction books like After the Apocalypse by Maureen F. McHugh so that is why I tried to read it. I also liek apocalyptic books and this book was like an apocalyptic book but i felt that the book wasx very poorly written. I don't want to talk about Hamlet because it was hust like Maximum ride and all the other picture books. It was good and i do recommend it. But the Prophet of the Yonwood on the other hand, I don't recommend it too any one who likes action packed books. If you like slow paced books then this book would be fine for you.

Reading Response Hamlet
I stopped reading the
book The Prophet of Yonwood just because the book was way too slow and I started
getting bored. I probably didn’t even get half way through the book where the
climax usually is. The climax probably wouldn’t have been too action packed
anyways so I probably made a good choice in not finishing reading the book. So
this blog won’t just be about me not reading a book so I’ll talk about the book
I just started. I got the book Hamlet the Manga Edition by William Shakespeare and
it is so far interesting because of the way they speak. It’s sometimes
confusing the way they speak and it’s hard for me to understand. Like the say tis
instead of this and thou instead of you. I didn’t understand some other ones
but I tried to make sense out of it. I liked the illustrations and it didn’t
look like the people who drew it spent too much time on drawing it. There weren’t
too many details in the drawings and some the drawings look very cartoony. My
favorite part was the sword fight scene and that fight scene was like the only
one but that one was still a little too bloody, even for me.
