Alice, Oh Alice...

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was simply a fantastic book. It had the simplicity of a  children's tale and then, if I wanted to, to read deeper into the hidden meanings.

I also found it great to examine the parallels between the Disney movie-what they added what they took away.
My favorite part was the end. I loved how Alice's sister looked back on what she had talked with Alice with. It was so cool that she though about Alice's future and that she would make a wonderful woman.

The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland!!!

This summer, I picked up a classic. Er, um, because it's free for Kindle...so far I am in the second chapter (Pool of Tears) and I like it alot.

I find it interesting to read the original story after seeing the Disney versions and the play version It is cool because I have the visiual identifications of what Alice looks like (she is, as of yet, lacking a physical description) and what other charaters like the White Rabbit look like.
More blogging to follow!!!

The Freedom Writer’s Diary

As you may have guessed, the next book I will be reading is The Freedom Writer’s Diary. It was the basis for the movie Freedom Writers, which I loved. So, yeah. I’m going to read it.

End of Déjà Dead

I am happy to report the end of a *fantastic* book. Déjà Dead by Kathy Reichs was a fantastic forensic thriller and furthermore, an extreme page turned. It was hard to read slow enough to get every word. However, I do have one criticism for Dr. Reichs' first novel: a lot of the word choice was unbelievably cliché, not that in the sense that the clouds were described as fluffy or anything, but it was like every word had a description, but the quick-paced plot definitely made up for the errs on that front. I so badly want to tell about the ending...but I wont...because you're lucky. I'll post below if you want to see it....

*****SPOILERS BELOW******

Hey, so I didn't want to ruin the book for anyone intending to read it with the next post, so I made a seperate one.....
OKAY, here we go!!!

1. I totatly knew that Gabby was going to die since she went MIA the first time!!! It was sooo predictable, Dr. Reichs, sooo predictable!!!
2. We all knew, of course, that neither Dr. Brennan wasn't going to die.
1. OH, and neither was Katy going to either.
1. This isn't because I had read the books out of order. Primairily, it is because it was told from first person, and writing about your own death would be awkward...because you couldn't...you'd be dead... AND, secondly, they tried to kill Tempe with like, what, 20 pages left. AND, oh yeah. Way to platantly say in the begening of the book that the next Temperance Brennan novel had a two chapter preview in the back of the book. Way to go, Scribner, ruin the book before its even started.
3. The note from Luc Claudel was so bizare. It was almost, like, creeper/stalker/sketch of him to do that. "We are the last line of defence aganst them:...the cold-blooded killers. I would be honored to work with you again." Please. Way to be a creep, Claudel.

That's it for my rant. Bye.

Oh! There you are! I was so far behind I couldn't quite see you there!!!

THUS BEGINS 3RD QUARTER!!!
Hey there! its been a while since I've blogged, but here I am!!! I'm reading Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs and I am proud to say that if I were reading Drood, and I was on the same page in tMoED as I am in this book, I would have read as much in tMoED in the two months I was reading it compared to the three weeks I've been reading DD.
Take that as you will.
SOOO, Tempe is wrapped up in quite the mystery! Over the last two years or so (the book taking place in 1994), she and the team have found several mutilated, meticiously dismembered and garbage-bagged of young women, ages ranging 16- about 25 years of age. When they explore a suspects house, they find a copy of Le Journal (Montreal newspaper) with her picture with a big X on her body, and now fears that she is the next victim.
A sub-plot seems to be with her college friend, Gabby. She is in cultural anthropology, rather than physical anthropology like Tempe. Her current study focuses on the prostitute subculture. Just thought I'd let you know.

The End of TMoED???

Well, my friends, its true: I will be putting TMoED to the side for now because I have been reading it for two months now.
However, with every ending comes a begening, and that begening belongs to:
DÉJÀ DEAD by KATHY REICHS
Because accents can be a pain to get to, yeah, I may say deja instead of déjà.
Any who, its her first book and I'm psyched to read it!!!

Drooooood. (More)

Well hello there! It seems like it has been a while since I posted. It is proably because it has! In fact it was in the last decade!!! Over winter break, I did read! But, I was up skiing and much to my upsetness, there was no WiFi!!! (that and my laptop is like a [insert several non-PG words here] and won't charge, so I have been doing literaly everything via the iTouch--icluding this)

Back to TMoED!!!

So the D man (Drood) dissapered (as I stated in my last entry) and seemingly without a trace, except for his shirt pin (what ever that is) and his gold watch (which I immagne to be of the pocket presuasion). Neville is still heald much at fault for the murder, but since there is no body found yet, he can't be charged. He made a whole big deal about how he cannot go out in daylight because the people of cloisterham think that he is a murderer and in my oppinion they are right. Thats basicaly it...

70ish pages to go!!!
