Harry Potter and the

Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows. Amazing book. A
must read. For those of you
who have seen the movie, you
should read the book. First of all, the producers
have done a pretty good job of keeping the movies true to the books. However, yet again the
book remains supreme over the film. Like in
many other books that have been made into
movies. As you know, Ron, Harry and Hermoine
are hunting Horcruxes which are parts of Voldemart‟s soul. You also know Snape is a traitor. Or
is he? In Part 2 comes a shocking truth to
Snape‟s past, and the story behind the Horcruxes, because there is more to them than appears. This book is exciting on every page.
Why? Because you know that Death Eaters could
attack at any moment, take Harry, Ron and Hermoine into custody and kill them, torture them.
Knowing that danger is in store for Harry, Hermoine, and Ron, that they could very well die
looking for Horcruxes, or just by nature.

Creepers on pigs are in me. Meaning I am superior. (Ignore that, readers.) Ok. So. Minecraft. Blocks. Chip, chip, chip. I have received a cobblestone unit. Minecraft is addicting and fun. Pretty much a survival game.
Using real life logic, you need to survive and
then get creative to build your own house, dig
your own mine, and explore the world. Very
engaging. But you die. If you fall into lava.
Or deep water. Or off a cliff. Or into fire. Or
into cactus. Or into spiders, creepers, skeletons or zombies. Good luck. Once again,
creepers are INSIDE of me, so this review and
game is much better than wherever you might
see something like that. K. bye.

If you know me, you know
that Im a big Radiohead
fan. The band officially released their new
studio album on their website in late February. I
was very excited when I downloaded the $9

extremely overproduced and doesn‟t live up to
their previous albums. I recommend it highly,
but if you‟re new to Radiohead, get their older
music first.
The Host

Critic: Magical Leopluridon
Rating: Bros
Due to the complete and
utter fail that was the
Twilight Saga, I can understand why people would be
hesitant to read The Host.
However, I have discovered
that Stephanie Meyer is actually capable of writing a good book. In fact, her writing is so advanced that sometimes I have to read a sentence twice to get its true meaning. She wrote
this as an adult book. She also marketed this
book as a story about a love triangle but it‟s not
like Twilight at all, in fact the love triangle isn‟t
as much of a main plot line. Melanie Stryder,
the main character, is one of the few remaining
survivors of an alien invasion. The aliens are
creatures that possess humans and take them

Starclimber is a really,
really good book. But, you
have to read the first book
first. So really, this review
has no purpose, but it
does. Because I said so. Anyway, the series
is about Matt Cruse, a teenage kid born on an
airship, whose dad is dead and his mom and
sisters live in an extremely small apartment.
Therefore, Matt lives on an airship and raises
money for family, and does tons of cool stuff
just because he has hollow bones. But not
really. But there‟s some romance too. So read
it. And by the way, the second book is Skybreaker. (The first book is: Airborn)

Death Note is the manga
made by a Japanese guy

Death Note is amazing. It‟s
not your classic manga where people just kill
each other over and over. Death Note uses
logic and strategy to kill people instead of simply killing people. There‟s a huge difference.
Basically Death Note detectives try and find a
guy that kills others. Prettttty original indeed.

Ok, so I just recently
watched the second season of Avatar The Last Airbender, not to be confused with that movie about smart blue monkeys. So, the second season is the second best
of the entire series, which is three seasons long.
Though the it‟s the second best, the last character of the series comes in this series, Toph.
She is rude, moody, and sarcastic, in a dark and
totally kick-butt way. Also, she‟s the shortest.
Anyway, the series is really good and you should
watch it. I think I will go finish up the third
season now (for the third time).
Despite its 10% (Rotten)
rating on Rotten Tomatoes, this movie was actually pretty good. It wasn't as good as it‟s
predecessors, however (Meet the Parents and
Meet the Fockers). The movie is about this
nurse named Gaylord (although he prefers to
be called Greg) who works at a hospital. He
meets a drug rep who tries to sell a new drug
called Sustengo. There‟s a lot more to this
movie, but I don‟t feel like giving it away. I
don‟t strongly recommend this movie, but I
recommend it.

Yes. The first time. If you
have read the previous books, then you would
know that Harry is going back to Hogwarts (The

problem is that Harry keeps having visions of a
long dark room that has many doors. He is not
sure what it means but as he goes further into
his 5th year of Hogwarts, he travels down this
strange hallway. Also Hogwarts gets a new
Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who
causes many problems and forces Harry, Ron,
Hermoine and other students to go to the
extreme. THIS IS A MUST READ SERIES (If you

I though that this book was
okay (not really). It was
about this kid named Theodore and he was a kid lawyer (as the name of

by her husband. I would recommend this book
if you like books with really bad storylines.
