This is one of the modern classics you'll enjoy. My dad read it when he was in college, but last year, I've read the book before. It was so short and sweet, you can appreciate as a quick read when you're on a break from long sits of reading. It's been a hundred years since it was first published in October 1915. The story was divided into three parts, so it might feel as if it were acts of the play.
When Gregor Samsa, the main character of the story woke up first thing in the morning, he discovered that he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. You'll see the obstacles Gregor faces when it comes to being a bug he'd transformed once you read it. It's sad, witty and yes, inspiring to be realistic. Good read, but I had read it aloud for a bit when Dad told me to at one time.

The Screwtape Letters Review
I've read that book before, but recently, I looked it up on Goodreads to see the reviews of what other people have read this. Boy, was I pressured to reread it again sometime in the future.
Read it in Deaf Awareness Week 2014 (September 14-20, 2014).
This is such a good book about Wormwood and Screwtape - two devils from the underworld. Screwtape was older than Wormwood, so it's like Uncle and Nephew relationship-wise. There are 25 letters in all, telling us how the world was portrayed as realistic spiritually (in other words, it's full of hate) and that they tell us what are the problems are in our lives, especially if you're a Christian. I was thinking I had learned that it's a great classic, risen out of the depths of the second world war. It's C.S. Lewis, the author of The Chronicles of Narnia who wrote it.
Did you know this is first published in February 1942? The first edition cover is a dust wrapper as you'll see on Wikipedia in the link using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Screwtape_Letters. This is a story of things (it's the letters in Christian apologetic form with plot and characters, so it's unique) that have to deal with temptation and to know how to resist it, especially if you're a millennial (like me) that was uprising individualism (I sometimes turned to it when it comes to the Internet because I was such a good blogger in what I experience with importance). I understand this, but to be perfectly honest, you have to read this book. I guarantee to do so...
5/5 stars

Alice in Wonderland Review
This story is about a girl named Alice who follows the white rabbit and falls down the rabbit hole into her own fantasyland. It's about no matter how huge or how short things turn out over time as the story progresses for Alice to deal with. I knew the story in picture by heart - the last time I've read it was September 2012 when I read the Dalmatian press edition. I thought it was a bloodhound at first, but it turns out to be a puppy with brown curls like in the original text. Now I get it. The story was such a non-stop in one sitting for a few hours. But who cares about this book?
The book is not for everybody. In 1900, Woodsville High of New Hampshire suspended a book from classroom use due to explicative, references to sex, and demeaning interpretations of religion and teachers. I really don't get it because it does not refer sexual fantasies and what-not; how silly these people got referred to the love child-like interest between Lewis and Alice while they had read this book. I figured out problems like four times five is twenty, four times six is twenty-four and four times seven is twenty-eight. London is the capital of Great Britain, Paris is the capital of France and Rome is the capital of Italy. See? Is that simple. It was also banned in the province of Hunan, China in 1931 for the portraying animals acting on the same level as humans, I get it. But the 1951 Disney film: When it first came out in 1951, it 'Americanizes' the story British critics call it. Americans criticized Disney for distorting Carroll's prose. Today, it was considered one of the best-loved classics of all time. In my own words, this book contains pure imagination the entire time, minimum drug use, one mentioning to alcohol at the beginning of the Mad Tea Party scene and anthromorphism throughout the book.
It has been one of my childhood memories I've known enough to connect my life to this book as related due to my autism and great imagination from the past, present and future. There is no other than a blog can describe over a thousand words of imagination, love, friendship, true story of life in reality, dreams and future. In other words, this blog was considered to be the coming-of-age tale about me as a senior whose blog has been inspired by this book. I can never forget Alice because she was so similar to me and I will never forget this story no matter what. Graduation is right around the corner, I will be dearly missed because I was about to turn in the school netbook by tomorrow, and when it's turned in, I have no more blog posts left to describe on my own, but I can write down reviews and more on my journal to put it on my blog soon at the end of August like last summer. I know that Black Blazer and his cousins will come back here for my graduation weekend with their silver plastic badges for my senior breakfast and moving up assembly with me performing a love song. It all came to pass that technical stuff has come and gone. I survived indeed to have my freedom to search. I'm now looking for freedom and independence. I will enjoy life outside my blog to connect some details per post. I will succeed in school (that's about it) and college. Someday, I will be famous; and one day, everyone will love me as a beloved millenial in today's technological world to be placed as a classic for my blog. Thanks for joining me in 2013-14, followers. Hats off to me and go enjoy yourselves over this summer. You all survived through this blog! Congrats, you made it!!! Well done and... have a great summer. See you in the fall! Talk to you later! Bye. This has been a blog about my life. Hope you enjoyed the blog? Get your comments below and see you when I come back from summer break.
And one more thing after I walk out the door - this is going to be a long, busy summer ahead.

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:
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:
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!

- Maximum Ride Episode IV: The Final Warning by James Patterson
- 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...))
- 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.)
- 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)
- 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)

Treasure Island Book Review
After a break from the long sea voyage, I had read Treasure Island, which is the finale of the summer voyage feature before the merry holiday seasonal winter break goes on to the medeival world when it kicks off with hints of what-not contemporary "love songs", and other extreme fun over winter break. Here's the summary of the plot of the book: Jim and the crew of the Hispaniola go on the voyage to the Isle of the Treasure at the Gulf of Bothnia. He finds Ben Gunn who lived on the island for three years so whatever or not the crew can find the treasure.
I think that's the very old-fashioned version of Disney's Treasure Planet, even though the sea was compared with space, I guess that the book may be interesting than you think. Thanks for the brief information and hope you'll read a book you may read from the review.

Moby Dick Review
This is Ishmael who narrates the whole story through. He meets up with Queequeg who was revealed to be part of the reinassance-like royal family and the infamous Captain Ahab. Together with a shipful of the crew, they were going in search for a whale and hopefully it will be one of the famous survival sea stories for you to go with the flow.
I think that was an epic, but yet a complicated book. It was supposed to be required for college level. I thought that's very interesting, even though it's referenced to media. I got real interest in literature since sophmore year, I am in senior year, and the author did a very well done job of what whales were like in one of the chapters you're going to learn from. If you take cetalogy in college class, you'll like to learn more of whales and one day, you're going to be a marine biologist, and before you know it, you're going to be the next Ishmael. The sentences and the details were very sophisicated word-by-word and it's absolutely a stunning classic page turner, even though it took like three months and two weeks for me to go throughout the whole entire thing (I started on August 13, 2013 and ended on November 25, 2013). Imagine taking time thinking detail-by-detail of breaking into small sections and you definitely will read this book no matter what, because whales come and go as you go into the ocean with others you'll memorize and cherish. And you'll see how good, but very emotional it was in the end. Even though it's sorta confusing, but lucky me, I guess it's okay, so good-ok for me. How about you?

Complete Fairy Tales Review
Dedicated to Once Upon a Time Homecoming week (10/20-26/2013).
Since homecoming week is coming, let's check this thing out. Fairy tales is not just about Disney versions that's suitable for little kids, but it's all about Grimm's and Andersen's Complete Fairy Tales that is completely PG-13 rated and suitable for teens who were very interested in literature. The double feature came from Barnes and Noble, in which I bought it on May 18, 2012. Did you know that a phoenix hatches from the egg since the beginning of time and flies over the world every century, and that every century a phoenix reincarnates? That's in The Phoenix Bird from Andersen. Did you know that a prince calls out, saying "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair!", so that he climbs up a golden stair? That's in Rapunzel from the Grimm Brothers. Oh, how I do love fairy tales. And over the past summer, I started the Fall River edition of Arabian Nights. It's about the emperor who hear stories from Scheherazade throughout most of the entire time. It's an end-of-year gift from Mom. Did you know that Jack gets the good ol' possessions from the giants' castle on a cloud? He climbed from a beanstalk in which the magic beans grew. Also did you know about the German name of Cinderella? It's Achenputel! It's really a good story, but very long with 387 chapters overall plus hidden bonuses such as Beauty and the Beast.
Did you know it all starts with The Frog Prince in this version and it ends with The Flea and the Professor? That's very perfect and still well-done for older middle grade and YA. I was very glad and generous that I may have to carry on the legacy of fairy tales to my kids when they turn thirteen. It was very good indeed that it has cool effects and perfect intensity in the story. Did you know that not all stories have happy endings? For example: Romeo and Juliet, it's sad but a good classic and one of the world's most-renown plays of all time. If you're already old enough/mature enough for tragedies, go ahead and think new adventures as a good start for your own journey to the Ultimate Goal. Don't stop believing, because I'm dead serious right now. And seriously, you don't want to put the story down, because you will read this story all night long. One step at a time, every night.
TWO THUMBS UP!!! xD
Thank you and hope you'll have a fantastic week of Once Upon a Time.
Since homecoming week is coming, let's check this thing out. Fairy tales is not just about Disney versions that's suitable for little kids, but it's all about Grimm's and Andersen's Complete Fairy Tales that is completely PG-13 rated and suitable for teens who were very interested in literature. The double feature came from Barnes and Noble, in which I bought it on May 18, 2012. Did you know that a phoenix hatches from the egg since the beginning of time and flies over the world every century, and that every century a phoenix reincarnates? That's in The Phoenix Bird from Andersen. Did you know that a prince calls out, saying "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair!", so that he climbs up a golden stair? That's in Rapunzel from the Grimm Brothers. Oh, how I do love fairy tales. And over the past summer, I started the Fall River edition of Arabian Nights. It's about the emperor who hear stories from Scheherazade throughout most of the entire time. It's an end-of-year gift from Mom.
