Last Reading of "The Hobbitt"

The plot of this book had jumped around a lot, but basically it was about a man, named Bilbo...who was a hobbitt, and he and his freinds, I can't remember their names but there was at least i think seven or eight of them that had joined him on this journey. Bilbo had found a ring, and it belonged to the dark lord, as they called him. He was of course the bad guy, who got his hand chopped off by this one dude that had also helped Bilbo, Bilbo was the m,ain character. The way that they had explained the story in detail about where they were at times and how they had fought the goblins, really was magical. It made me visualize the story in my head. Really amazing.



My response was awesome book! I thought that I would never ever understand the book at all, but now that I do, it really opens my mind to newer horizons, I really enjoyed this book. I hope that I can read something like this again. :)

Wake: Review Two

I really like this book, for it's creativity. I think that it really relates to what kids dream about, and how they might feel about certain memories of their life. The way Lisa Mcmann explains the detail of Janie entering peoples' dreams really gives you a full look at what that person is feeling at that moment. The plot is that Janie in trying to discover what she can do to avoid entering peoples' dreams, she doesn't want the gift, frankly it annoys her. Seh is slowly progressing to find out how she can avoid every dream, she's even dreaming her own dreams, discovering how she can control herself in other dreams. She knows it's hard. She has her best friend Carrie, and a new addition to her group...Cabel, he's cute to her, and the way that she explained everything about how she can enter dreams to him and not Carrie makes it seem like they're really the ones who should be best friends, but she keeps entering his dreams about how he turns into a monster with razor sharp hands, that chop an old man, and kill him, after he's screaming in pain and agony. Another dream has to do with Carrie, and her boyfriend. Janie enters Carrie's dream where her boyfriend Stu is making love to her while she yells out for her brother, saying help him....yah kind of an awkward dream. Janie tries to help the boy, but every time, she can't, she's stuck between two worlds, the real one, and the dream world...and neither one are playing in her favor.

The Hobbit: Second Review

I enjoy the way that Bilbo and his buddies have joined as a team and are looking out for each other. But I really think that Bilbo isn't going to give the ring up anytime soon. The book is saying that Bilbo hides in dark corners, and anytime that he can he'll slip on the ring and turn invisible. But that's becuase the ring is taking a hold on him, and is turning him evil. T he goblins are helping them, not trying to eat them anymore, which is good, but now they're at a place and the head leader says that they cannot leave becuase he says that Bilbo and his friends have put him and his people through a lot of trouble, and he's rambling on about how they paved that road that Bilbo walked on, and that it's disrepectful to just leave. Smeagle, the little goblin dude is creepy and is following the hobbits and the dwarves, and is trying to get Bilbo to give up the ring to him.
