Maximum Ride: Final Warning
3 out of 10
I went to Barns&Nobles the day this book came out, expecting it to end. I guess "Final Warning" is just not a good name for a book that doesn't end a series. It's was almost liked he tried too hard just to write another so he could make it a series. I mean, how many times does Max have to save the world for these books to be over?! She shouldn't be portrayed as a super hero. I barely wanted to finish it. It was like an environmentalist threw up and it became a book.
This one is about how the crew decides to be all against global warming and goes to Antarctica. There, they are kidnapped and managed to escape because of a hurricane. That is caused by global warming? Come on! That's the cheesiest 200 pages I've ever read.
Take my advice and don't waste your time or money! It's not worth it! And this book just reveals that he wants to make it a big long series. That makes it stupid. End of discussion!

I went to go see this movie with my sister and my dad, instead of going to some overly expensive horrible restaurant with my cousins. That was their loss. This was a good movie. Now, the graphics were nothing special and the acting was average. But it was just one of those movies you had to like. The plot was not historical in any means, but no one ever said this was a historical based film. It's just a movie.
The story is about a small prehistoric tribe that gets invaded by more civilized areas of the world. The main character's love of his life is taken from him and he has to venture across new lands to save her and a bunch of other people. Along the way, he joins up with other tribes who have had the same thing happen to them as he has. They all get together and take down Egypt.
Like I said: It's not supposed to be accurate, but a good story.

This was a movie with a good plot. It it a movie based on a 1971 true-life robbery of a bank in Baker Street, London, from which the money and valuables stolen were never recovered. There was a lot of nudity and a bunch of language. There was also some violence. Even though it was awkward, because I went to see with with my grandpa, my uncle, and my cousin. It was still pretty good. I loved the plot!
This movie is four different stories at once that all intertwine with each other. It keeps you at the edge of your seat. It's the true, 1970s version of Oceans 11.

I read this book on the flight to New York City and on the way home. I don't know if the lousy flight had anything to do with it, but I thought I'd like this book more than I did. I liked it how it gave the whole Morgan le Fey background story of how she became who she was with King Arthur and whoever. I guess I'm just not into that Camelot stuff. And towards the end, it was just like a big fart for an ending. Too over dramatic and over written.
It's about Morgan le Fey and how she learned magic and why she hates King Arthur. When she was just a little girl, her father died at war and her mother is forced to marry the king of the kingdom. Morgan and her sister go into hiding at their nurse's home, who teaches them to read and use their heads. There is love, adventure, and sorrow.

The Unspoken, by Thomas Fahy, is a book that I enjoyed reading. It is dull at some parts, and I am a person with a weak stomach that can't even watch shows like E.R. and House because of the little gore they show. I just can't deal with it. This book doesn't have any gore, really, but it goes into detail about the tortures Jacob, the cult leader, inflicted upon them.
One of the characters that I related to was Jade, who is a pianist and hides her fear by being rude and sarcastic. I love the piano and play it often. At the part where it talked about her being tortured makes my fingers weak. Even now, as I think back on it.
I had a friend read it who loves horror novels. She really liked it, and agreed with me that it would make a better movie.
The story is about 6 kids who survive a huge fire in a village of a cult that their parents were in. None of the kids liked it, or the leader of the cult, Jacob, who tortured them when they questioned his authority. In killing Jacob, he told the six that in five years, each one of them would die of their worse fears. And 5 years later, the first of the six dies from drowning; his worse fear seeing as he couldn't swim. The only weird thing about it is, he died well away from any body of water.
