~Sea Of Monsters Movie Expectations~

 

Next month will be the showing of the Sea Of Monsters movie which the entire Percy Jackson fandom has been buzzing about. I am also a fan and have decided to post my input on this movie. I have a few things that I want the movie to include which are obviously all the main points of the book. Such as the quest and I haven't see any photos of what Circe's island looks like but if they included it I hope they include Reyna's sister because she is a minor character in The Hero's Of Olympus Series. Another thing they should include in the movie is Thalia waking up from the healing power of the fleece which is a turning point in the series. I am a bit curious on all the new cast members joining this movie I have seen all the trailers but I'm looking at how their performance is going to be in this film. Another addition they had on this movie was that this movie will be in 3-D which I'm a bit skeptical about but I'll see if this doesn't look to cheesy. Other than that I'm pretty sure this movie will be good as long as it follows the book because the first movie was a train wreck and it didn't follow the book except for some things.

➳The Hunger Games (Movie Review)➳

*Please read with caution spoilers ahead!*

Here is another book-to-movie film adaptation review and this one will be on The Hunger Games from the original novel by Suzanne Collins. This film is beautifully done and it starts with the reason of the games which plays a big role in the book and movie. The actors that play the part of the main cast is excellent and very realistic in the movie. As for the differences between the movie and book I can say they didn't include the Mayor and Mayor's daughter which they play a small role but at the same time a big role because the Mayor's daughter gave Katniss the mocking jay pin, which this symbol plays a significant role in all three books and the film didn't include it. They also made Katniss see Cinna die before the games, which isn't supposed to happen till the next book. Although they didn't include these things they can't include everything it's a book and it would make this film into a huge extension on the length of time. As for the tributes in this film they did a great job especially when it came to Rue's death it was very dramatic to watch and made it feel like it was realistic. As for all these costumes in the film they were excellent and stayed true to the book style especially Katniss's hair and clothing. Most of the scenes I personally liked were Katniss and Peeta moments, Kantiss hunting, and the ending of the games. My overall ranking on this movie is 5 and a half stars because most of the small things that weren't included bothered me a little but it was a good movie adaptation to the book. I will be reviewing more stuff soon and be sure to follow me on all things movie and book reviews.

➳The Hunger Games (Book Review)➳

Hey everyone here is another book review but this time I want to focus on a different series which is The Hunger Games books. This book is set in a nation known as Panem, established in North America after a big apocalyptic event. This nation has the wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts united under the Capitol's control. District 12, is where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region that was formerly known as Appalachia. As punishment for a past rebellion, the capitol holds an annual Hunger Games where one boy and girl, between the ages of 12-18, represent there district for the games. In the games they have to kill one another in order for one of them to become a victor. The book's perspective is from Katniss, a 16 year old girl, who takes her sister's place for the games in distract 12. As for the other tribute it is Peeta Mallark , who helped out Katniss and her family when they starved by sending bread for them.

Characters:

 

Katniss Everdeen- The book's perspective and is an independent, quiet, and fierce girl. Her looks are typical from where she lives which is long dark hair, olive skin, and grey eyes. She hunts illegally to help her mother and sister. She is skilled in archery and has a friend who hunts with her named Gale. Both their fathers have died in a mining incident that happened five years before and Katniss's mother fell into deep depression and she became less trustworthy of her. Katniss takes the place as a tribute in the hunger games for Prim.
Peeta Mallark- He is the male tribute for distract 12 and is a son of a baker. He is charismatic, which helps him in the games. He has confessed his love to Katniss in an interview and their relationship grows throughout the story.
Gale Hawthorne- He is an 18 year old and is best friends with Katniss and her hunting partner. They met when Katniss was trying to hunt for food for her family following both their father's deaths. He has three younger siblings and is skilled with snares and archery. His looks are typical for a person living in district 12 and is described by Katniss as bring any girls attention in district 12.
Haymitch Abernathy- He is middle aged and is an alcoholic. He won the second quarter quell, the 50th hunger games, which occurred 24 years before this book. He is a mentor to all the district 12 tributes and is consumed with guilt and forced to participate in the games which he hates. He is very sarcastic and pulls it together when Katniss confronts him, which makes them aiming toward winning and survival of the two tributes.
Primrose Everdeen- She is Katniss's younger sister and is 12 years old. She looks like her mother, blond hair and blue eyes. She is thoughtful and sweet. Her name is pulled as for the games but her sister takes her place. Before she leaves she asks if Katniss would win the games for her.

Overall Ranking:
This book is given as a 5 out of 5 stars because I thought the story line is perfect. Although I hate how Katniss took Peeta's love as a strategy in the games. I loved most of the emotional scenes set in this book during the games. Such as Rue's death and the survival of food and water in the games. The games made the capitol a piece of dirt and it hints that Katniss will rebel when she learns more secret and deals with her problems about the future. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is into dystopian novels and YA readers. I felt this book went fast and I enjoyed every second of this novel and it is an easy read. I will soon be reviewing the movie adaption of this book and do a book review on another series. I will be updating on this blog with some new things in the works which I hope to get started in please don't forget to follow for more books and movie reviews!

❤My Small Book Haul❤

Over the past two months I have started buying some new books that I have almost forgotten to blog about because I was so busy with school. I have only 3 books to share with you and have finished one of them and as for the others I have started reading them. I will for sure have some down time to review them along with my Hunger Games review that will be out since it is vacation time for me.

The first book I bought is called Matched By Ally Condie and is the book I have finished reading and I will have a review coming out for it. This book is a YA book and is about love, life and the obstacles of that follows with life. It is one of the first books of the trilogy series by Ally Condie.

 

The second book I bought was Crossed By Ally Condie and is the second book that follows Matched in the trilogy series. It is the book I'm currently reading and so far enjoy. I will make a review about this as soon as I have reviewed the first book of the series.

 

The third book I have bought is Perks Of Being a Wallflower By Stephen Chbosky and is another book I'm currently reading. It is very interesting because of the way the book is set up and I so far like how it's a coming of age story and it's also about life. I hope you like the books I bought and will do another book haul. Be sure to leave a comment if you have read these books or want to read any of them.
