Review by Alex Fontes Mortal instruments. By Cassandra Clare Best Book ever!!!! This is my favorite book of all time. It starts out with a 16 year old girl named Clary Fray, she and her friend Simon are outside of a club called pandemion. What she doesn’t know is that its filled with supernatural creatures such as Vampires, Werewolf’s, Fairies, demons and the most important of all is the Shadowhunters, they are of the nephlim which means they were created with human blood and angle blood, this doesn’t give them special powers just heightened abilities, but they are all believers of God, and the do his work by killing any creatures that have harmed the race of humanity. This book is literally the best book for anybody to read it has action, romance, it has the whole package. I really recommend this book to all readers.
Hawaii Five-O Review Hawaii Five-O is a new action packed police drama on CBS Mondays at 9. The series follows Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett, a former Navy SEAL who is asked to lead a special task force for the Governor of Hawaii to investigate serious crimes. Aside from the constant police cases, McGarrett and his comrades, also try to solve the mysterious murder of both of McGarrett’s parents. The team consists of many different characters including Detective Danny Williams, a police officer from the northeast who constantly feels uncomfortable on the island, and two Hawaiian police officers, Chin Ho Kelly and his cousin Kono Kalakaua. The exciting new show is filmed on sight in Hawaii, which makes it very unique in comparison to other primetime police shows. It is a very interesting show that I think a lot of people would enjoy.
Saving Private Ryan, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks, is a movie about World War II. However, unlike many other war movies, Saving Private Ryan does not leave out the horrors of real war. It starts off with an intense D-Day battle and follows the journey of eight soldiers who are on a mission to find Private James Ryan, a soldier who is MIA in Normandy. The strengths of the movie include the amazingly accurate portrayal of the Normandy Invasion, right down to the last detail such as the type of boats that were used. The storyline is also insightful and brutally touching. There are not many weaknesses to the movie except that it may not be suitable for younger children, since it does not omit the gore and language that takes place during real warfare. In all, I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a really good war movie that is also very moving. Saving Private Ryan is educational but also extremely interesting, and ends with a remarkable scene. It will invoke several different emotions from the audience and does not fail to captivate.
In the tyrannical regime of Panem, teenagers are selected by lottery to compete in the annual Hunger Games. It is a horrific strategy that is broadcasted on live television displaying teenagers killing one another until there is only one winner. The winner is then given the grand prize of food; a scarce necessity during this setting in post-apocalyptic North America. Suzanne Collins does a fantastic job portraying every bold character with unique characteristics. It’s brutal right where it needs to be, particularly when the children fight for their lives. It conveys the miseries of the oppressed, represented by the poorly fed and clothed citizens, and the terrible values of the oppressors, who are well fed and watch their lower people kill each other for entertainment. Katniss Everdeen, the vicious, heroic protagonist who volunteers to fight in place of her younger sister is the heart and soul of the story. She plays a dauntless role in the book as she makes decisions that will affect the well being of her country. The Hunger Games is a marvelous, well written novel by Suzanne Collins with no apparent flaws. I would recommend it to anyone. The topic is just out of this world and makes many want to read more and more. It’s a great book with a wonderfully creative plot.
