The Princess and the Goblin Book Review

The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald
What It's Like: Disney's Tangled Meets Tolkien's The Hobbit in the Barbie as Princess and the Pauper twist

        For three whole weeks, I have read this book before. You heard of it before. This story is about a blonde girl with blue eyes who was eight years old. Her name was Irene. She was raised at the nurse's home in the peaceful nursery, until she accidently went up the stairs to meet her great-great-grandmother whose name was the same as herself (her name was also Irene). Eight-year old Irene was more likely to believe that her grandmother was upstairs, but the nurse Lootie didn't believed it. Outside home, Irene meets up with the goblins and Curdie a twelve-year old miner who was the son of Peter Peterson. Together, that seems that it turns out to be a very good story but however, "Princess Irene is in danger from the mountain goblins. Will young Curdie be able to help her in time?"

        Already perfect enough for the next Disney animated film to be adapted from a book - but it should have Irene the Princess to be added into the Princess collection. I wonder why if Elsa and/or Anna from Frozen might be added to the Princess collection in the near future hopefully (if it is a prediction in my opinion). This is the next child heroine read to be perfectly honest with you, but the previous times I read is of Ellen from Ellen Foster, Leslie from Bridge to Terabithia, Susan and Lucy from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis, Polly from The Magician's Nephew by C. S. Lewis also, Anne from Anne of Green Gables, Rebecca from Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Alice from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, Wendy from Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie, Dorothy from Wizard of Oz by Frank Braum, and Marie (Clara in the ballet version) from The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffmann. I mean what can I do to read in my prediction? Is it gonna be the main character of Princess Academy by Shannon Hale or was it going to be child dasmels in distress I'm going to read is Primrose from Hunger Games, Moonchild from Neverending Story or...? Um... I might lean toward Penelope by Marilyn Kaye or Girl in a Cage by Jane Yolen. Not sure why I had to decide after this book.
        It's like a mutiple choice pathway like my game I'm not spoiling it until the very point of climax. The secrets are out and I just had enough but... oh another hint for my imaginary friend: last time his favorite color was light brown because I just got my nerdy pillow for Christmas of 2013. The second hint: He's got his own game and it has a multiple choice pathway some of the people think "Oh well, it was very endless and useless that I'm so confused of which pathway to take." I mean seriously, I choose the Pure Hero Side because he can save the kingdom, redeem his own father and keep his promises to his girl of the dreams. It's very a good thing that he was the son of the samurai warrior and the teen novice princess. What?! I revealed two more hints of my imaginary friend. Now that makes four hints: meaning - I had to read two more books of the main storyline.
        What was it going to be? Since the Seahawks won the NFC Championship, I'll go on with the continuation of Maximum Ride, thus having to read the next two installments. Last time I read Maximum Ride was School's Out Forever. It was the sequel to The Angel Experiment and really the first two I read was very awesome that I can eager onto the next book: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports. I already read the sneak preview on the Nook Tablet after Life of Pi by Yaan Martel. Just can't wait to look forward to the next huge thing of my life. If the Seahawks win the Super Bowl, I'll read Ender's Game and Where She Went. If the Broncos win, just go to Where She Went already... Here is my list after Princess and the Goblin. It's official:

1. Maximum Ride Episode III: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports by James Patterson
2. Maximum Ride Episode IV: The Final Warning by James Patterson
3. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (it's already made into film November 2013 that I'll read so badly it's like a priority to The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (my time is coming soon...))
4. Where She Went by Gayle Forman (I love If I Stay from last year - it's coming soon to theatres since I checked on behind the scenes on the web. It's coming soon this year to cinemas! So excited! xD I'm looking forward to the sequel since I finished the first installment of the two-parter and I've been dreading on this for too long.)
5. Sequels to Uglies and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Pretties, Specials and Extras were on the way, and Second Summer of Sisterhood, Girls in Pants: Third Summer of the Sisterhood, Forever in Blue: Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood and Sisterhood Everlasting (coming up prior to Enchanted and Nevermore)) (Pretties and Second Summer of Sisterhood is up next halfway through Maximum Ride, Specials and Girls in Pants is after 3/4 of the way there through Maximum Ride, Extras and Forever in Blue is after Angel but Sisterhood Everlasting is after all of the fairy tales and Narnia and prior to Enchanted and Nevermore)
6. Girl in Cage, Princess Academy, Dragons in Our Midst, rest of Merlin trilogy by James Mallory, Love Stargirl (EST. 2000), The Book Thief, Penelope, Undercover and Stardust (not sure where to put in a timeline of the main plot of pure imagination)

        Thank goodness I am not sure why I did it is because of in no particular order whatsoever. Believe me? No, seriously, what is Broke and the Bookish? It's a meme that has those Top Ten Tuesdays posted one top ten every Tuesday for bookish ideas like Top Ten Best/Worst Movie Adaptations (e.g. I love the Chronicles of Narnia films for the important part of making me want to read this complete 7-part book series in chronological order after a few years of not worthing it and trying to make my way but with Percy Jackson the movie (The Lightning Theif)... no just no. I loved the book version over a thousand times nine x (over 9000 times) better. It was a really good book series, but with Heroes of Olympus wrapping up progress eight months away from the end, I can still find out that whatever or not, the sequels to the Percy Jackson movie are getting a bit better to be perfectly honest with you), or how about Top Ten Resolution Genres I'm Looking Forward to in 2014 (How about the movie script genre. I already got started on Superman by J.J. Abrams, but last year I read Monster by Walter Dean Myers for school. For fanfics, I am getting to the SU Remake by Julayla but the reader's block stopped me from ever reading it.) I am getting interested in joining in but in order to read lots, you have to read whatever you want in just so to sign-in. I am a great reader, believe me, I just wished I could read the sequels to 2001: A Space Odyssey but nothing worked out for time flew by really fast I could just forget the Contact novel and get into the movie adaptation. The movie is yet worth my time since I was twelve when I got interested in stars and scifi. Nowadays, as it came to a sudden wrap-up, I was like "What the heck is wrong with me?!" for crying out loud that I totally forgot about the tween chic-fic genre. The last time I read before "I So Don't Do Mysteries" was the sequel to "Eleven": "Twelve". I already read it when I was twelve-in-a-half, now I have to read "Eleven" first, reread "Twelve" and then get into the sequels "Thirteen" and "Thirteen Plus One" (that's fourteen).
        I was supposed to read Girl in a Cage, Dragons in Our Midst and Princess Academy and other stuff, not forcing myself to just cheat on the main storyline just so to read Catching Fire (that's what Simone's so freaking annoying me into forcing me to). I literally hated cheating because cheaters never win in the end BTW. I just can't, my time has not come yet. I have to wait until after the end of the Revenge of the Sith to get into the Hunger Games. So what's the point? Are you with me? Agree?
        I watched the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice over the first half of the weekend in between semesters. It was very interesting and seriously way better than the sappy 2005 version from Focus Features. I had never read this book before, but trust me, I will get it read on the Nook Tablet. It's been "sitting on the shelf" for over a year. I watched the movie together with my family for 2 days straight - 3 episodes on a Friday night, 2 episodes on a Saturday afternoon and a finale for a Saturday night (this is my POV). After all of the mini-series, I was like "Oh, thank goodness it's finally over that I was going to finish 'The Princess and the Goblin' by now!" but I just can't for it's too late for the day.
        I had a list of book trailers I already watched before the finale was shown:

1. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (Sisterhood #2-4)*
2. Penelope
3. Stardust
4. The Book Thief
5. Ender's Game
6. Maximum Ride Episode III: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports
7. Where She Went (If I Stay #2)

*Sisterhood Everlasting is not adapted into film yet. It can wait until 2019.

        Oh my gosh, there's no way to find out how, but who cares about what comes next after this book I'm reviewing? It was definitely not Hunger Games but I'll just let me have a hint: Since the Seahawks were going to the Big Apple, I may wonder if I go try for Ender's Game. It seems to me that it's like an aftermath to 2001: A Space Odyssey and Starship Troopers, for it's a priority to the Hunger Games... oooh, that's nice! Oh I see, now I get it. Thanks for the hint to the Hunger Games aka Ender's Game. It's just a priority believe me. Looks like it's official of what's next after the book I'm reviewing now.

        Okay, back to the review, I finally finished the book today. (SPOILER ALERT: The people went up the mountain due to the waters rising; and that, the goblins became friendly and more good. The last sentence made me want to cringe for a sequel to this book especially.) I didn't know it was the first installment to the Princess Irene and Curdie series, but I already read about the author prior to the story and guess what - The Princess and Curdie was split into four installments. I mean George MacDonald wrote some other stuff like two fantasy books that is just for grownups. I mean who cares about these two books to read. No idea why, but lucky me I heard that trusted grownups had read a book before - it depends on how much they had read it before from a long time ago up until last year. My mom read it before but she didn't know the plot, for she loved it lots and it was recommended for young women. For me, it was very cute that it should be adapted into the next Disney animated film - that would be awesome enough for Mom to go see it. I really do care about Irene and Curdie, but overall, I believe it should be recommended to both boys and girls who had/hadn't read Narnia before - for ages eight and up the back cover says. (I read 3/7 of the way there through Narnia, but it should count as a spinoff to Narnia so 1/2 is alright I think in my opinion.) In conclusion, let's say it's been perfect prior to Prince Caspian I will read. I know the finals are over and I was very relieved that I am done with the tests and everything in it. Thank you and have a nice day! Happy Sunday and hopefully you get your fingers crossed for next week's big event. Go Hawks!
