Book Review - The Princess Bride

 

4.5 stars
        Buttercup lived all her life on a farm with her parents and the farm boy, until everything changes... She discovers she's beautiful and Westley is in love with her! In the meanwhile, The Prince is searching for a bride, he was told the most beautiful woman in his reign is in marrying age, so he has merry her! She agrees since her love (Westley, a.k.a the farm boy) went in search of a fortune. And then the adventure beggings! Without a doubt, Westley was my favorite character in all stories, I found him very interesting, funny, and brave. I loved all the fencing and fighting bad guys, finding good guys, and searching for poor Buttercup because they were so well written I was actually entertained (I don't really like when the characters have to find another one, I always find it boring). 
     I didn't like the ending, I know it's a satire of the original story but it ended in a kind of Cliffhanger. I'm not a real fan of open endings in general but otherwise, this was awesome! I know it has a movie but I didn't see it yet. I would recommend it to readers who like classics and funny books, it has a mix of everything but I would be aware of the violence. That's it, bye!

Book Review - Battle Royale

  4 stars      Imagine going on a school field trip just to discover that you'll have to fight for your life, and only one person gets to survive this insanity. This is what's happening with Shuya, a junior high school boy sucked in a world of violent exploitation. So, I didn't have many favorite characters because there were many (42 to be exact, and mostly didn't get more than a feel lines of description). I kept thinking about who was going to die next and who was going to kill next. It was distressful in a good way, my favorite parts of the book were the fighting scenes - who were amazingly written. This story made me tense, I was always expecting the main character or his friends to die and the story kept me hooked until the end.     I found it extremely difficult to care about most of the characters because I knew they would die soon, so I couldn't bond with anyone.      The story is very violent and has a lot of bloodshed and deat...

Book Review - Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge

Image
  4 stars     Bailey just got out of college, she doesn't have friends or a job. But everything changes when Zane, her childhood friend, and occasional hook-up in high school, introduces her to a new kind of bartending, her monsters turn out to be way more literal than she thought. Without a doubt, Bailey was my favorite character, she is witty, intelligent, and a bit confused about adulthood. All characters were very well written, I especially liked all the representation and different characters the book shows us.      I was hooked with this story to the beginning, it was such a cool concept with lots of plot twists. I did enjoy this story. Also, the fighting scenes were amazing, my heart was pounding while I read. This book made me laugh so hard, I loved the sense of humor of the author, one of the best! But I never promised you a rose garden, I had some issues with the romance and the love interest. I didn't like him, I didn't think he and Bailey w...

Book Review - Zodiac Academy: The Awakening

Image
  3 stars     Tori and Darcy are twin sisters who just discovered their true bloodline. Fae. This means they're screwed since both only lived in the mortal realm and know nothing about The Zodiac Academy and their royal blood. They discover their hidden powers and have to fight to fit in the academy with four princes trying to force them back home.     My favorite character was Tori, she was so brave and grumpy! I wasn't expecting anything like that, I really liked Tori's romantic prospect and their dynamic. I liked the world build and the angst of the bullying, I liked the academy setting and the way they had real classes, it was pretty cool.     However, I didn't like Darcy's romantic prospect or her in general, she was way too kind in a world ready to swallow her whole. I didn't like the way they never had enough power to beat the boys and were just dragged around by everyone.      Overall I liked the book and I'm eager to begging the...
