Review: Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire

Description: The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and there are spells to be learnt, potions to be brewed and Divination lessons (sigh) to be attended. Harry is expecting these: however, other quite unexpected events are already on the march 



Review:This book has a big difference compared to the previous one.  This is more darker and not childish anymore, which is  a plus for me. It's a great read! It has a twist that I didn't expect. It was a page turner, especially because  Lord Voldemort was there  . (Ooooh, I must not say his name ) I enjoyed the Triwizard Tournament, the parts where Harry was finding his ways in fighting the tasks. I felt sad for Harry because of what's his facing through. He  felt too much depression here. But thanks to his friends who always help him. I can't still move on with this story because it was a pleasure reading it!

Book haul

I finally got the chance to buy my  'to die for' books! I bought  The Power of Six , first (last Saturday) because I'm itching to read it already even though I still have a  book that I'm currently reading. Then  the day after that, my family and I went to Mall of Asia to celebrate my parent's anniversary, eventually I visited  FullyBooked and bought Eon . I finally found it , actually it was my sister who found it for me.  I really can't wait to read these! I'm confused,  what will I be reading first? lol  My younger brother also bought another animal book that he loves, another book to add in his collection of animal encyclopedia . I felt so happy for him , that he's spending his money  for books.


Of course, everytime I enter  a bookstore I always got too thrilled and excited , as if it's a paradise. I also saw  several copies of The Fault in our stars by John Green, in Fullybooked.  I promised myself  that I would buy that book when I'm done with these , and some other  books that's still piled up for me to read. How exciting it is to read! It's such a pleasure.

Review:Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Now, I know the reason why people worship J.K Rowling!

I admit I was not a huge fan of Harry Potter books, unlike others.  Because I always got to see this  in almost everything, movies, tumblr , facebook etc. I find it hard to cope up , by then I realized I got too old for this and got bored. I actually  finished the first book  last  year, but somehow I forgot the story and the feeling of excitement reading it.

But now that I finished this 3rd book, I ate all of my words. Reading Harry Potter  didn't bore me to death.  I experienced being in Hogwarts too, at last !  Now I know the feeling!  I even  find myself, reading the book while eating lunch! It really got me hooked in reading. I fully understood now the story of Harry Potter , because before when I watched the movie , I didn't understood a thing. It's a great decision for me to read the  book first then watch all the movies afterwards , so I would be  familiarized with the characters and what was happening.  I haven't read the second book though, I must read it soon. But because I became to love the book and the characters (Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco.. even Snape! and everyone), I decided to go along with the fourth book , The Goblet of Fire instead. Then go back to the 1st and 2nd   books.

 Okay I talk too much, here's my review. Finally!

Review

 This is magic! For me, it's  more magical than the movie, or is it because I haven't watched them all yet? Whatever , the book  is superb!  J.K Rowling writes with simplicity yet never failed to amaze the reader.  Hogwarts seem real , it makes me want to study and live  there! Learning potions and spells , would seem nice and awesome. I felt that I was also a part of it. The author's idea is just wow! I never expected how the events would turn out. How one character would transform into someone you never thought him to be.  After all this time it's only now that  I know who Sirius Black is !

All in all this is an incredible book really, I can't believe I've only read it now. Because of this, I'm all set to read all the series. I can't also believe that I'm gonna say this,  I know I'm all late and as they say "better late than never"  but  , Yay I'm also a fan of Harry Potter, whoop whoop!

Book im dying to read:The Power of Six

I've read the prequel, I am number Four months ago,  I found out that the third book, The Rise of Nine has been released . I became excited but then  I realized that I haven't finished the second book  , The Power of Six yet. After finishing the first book , I immediately read the second  book via internet , a pdf file. But I didn't last long because staring at the monitor hurt my eyes , and I got bored by it. I prefer the printed one badly.  Unfortunately by then,  this  book wasn't available in the bookstores. These days, lucky for me, that I always see this at the bookstores. But I don't have time and money to buy it. Plus, I was doubting if I would buy it because the friend of my sister has a copy, thus I could borrow it instead.  Suddenly I've  made my mind that I couln't wait much longer to borrow the book. I've decided to buy them all  now and complete  the series , so that I have a collection of  a trilogy. Because yesterday  I watched the movie I am number Four again, and with that I've made my mind that I would really ,without a doubt buy the books.

Book I'm dying to read: Flipped

First of all, let me say that the movie adaption is awesome! I already watched it twice, and it still caught me off guard. That's why I can't wait to read the book because I think that it would be much better and has more depth. When I was watching the movie I can't help to think that I must read the book too. The movie is  very cute and funny. Because of this   I wanted to feel how it was to have a first crush again.  It' s very interesting to watch Juli Baker and Bryce Loski .  The movie is very simple and yet beautiful. I'm expecting the book to be the same. I also  saw reviews saying that there's not much of a difference between the book and the movie.

Book I haven't finished yet: Eragon

I'm a loser, I know!

I started reading this book at our school's library. It was fun reading it , really.  But since I don't have a copy and I don't know any people who has one besides our library, I have abandoned a story that I came to love. I don't know why I stopped going to the library, I think because I got busy with school. With that reason I read the available  books  in our house instead. I always thought to myself that when I have my free time I would go back to the library and read it, or just borrow it instead. But that thought somehow evaporated in my mind. I miss reading this book, I miss the feeling that I was  in the mediaval era. Because of this book I became to like dragons and began to wonder what was life in the medieval period. Somehow living in this era is simple, ordinary yet challenging. Ok , now I promise to myself that I would finish this and its trilogy.

P.S. before reading this , I really thought that Eragon is the dragon! (yeah because of the cover) xD

Book I'm dying to read: Divergent

I found out  about this book Divergent by Veronica Roth through internet. I was bloghopping about finding  some good books , eventually a link sent me in a blog where she recommend that this book is a must read. When I read its summary , I was amused and wanted to read it badly. As people say it's somehow similar to Hunger Games, because it's also a dystopian novel. But many of them say that it's not , others say that  this is better.  Whatever people say,I just got more curious about it. Then there came a time that I was so sure of myself that I would definitely buy the book. But before that I posted a picture of it in facebook saying that I would buy this soon.   Luckily a friend of mine  has one, and let me borrow hers instead. Of course I got excited!  Hopefully I could borrow the book this week. Have the hopes up!

Book I'm dying to read: Eon

Since I've read The Lightning thief , I've suddenly became a fan of the fantasy genre in books. Before I only read romance- comedy ones because I find fantasy or any surreal themes not that interesting. Eventually  I got bored by the romance or chick flic books and decided to submerge myself into reading a non-realistic story instead.  For me it's a lot  better or I would say a thousand times better. Also, whenever I go to bookstores, I always go to the fantasy section first.

I have listed many fantasy, sci-fi and dystopian novels that I would like to read in the future. One of them is Eon by Alison Goodman. I've searched it in Goodreads and found out in the reviews that it's really an awesome book.  I always see this in bookstores before, but I paid it no mind. Now, I'm dying to buy it  and regret the days when I just passed through it in the shelves. Ohh, I have the chance to buy this soon.

The Perks of being a wallflower

Reading this at first was weird for me, because I didn’t know that it was written  in a diary format plus the protagonist talks as if he’s just only a ten year old kid. So  I was kind of disappointed because I wasn’t expecting that,really. I also doubt that I wouldn’t even  like the book. Of course I gave it a chance that eventually it would have an awesome plot too. Surprisingly Stephen Chbosky  didn’t let me down. My friends were right  that this book is wonderful and inspiring to read. As i turn every  page I got hooked, it was evening and I only got the chance to read its first  few pages only. Unfortunately the book  was not mine, and my sister returned it afterwards.  Then I borrowed a copy from my friend/blockmate  , and I finished it in that same day. It was really good ! Charlie is the type of person who would I want to be friends with. I always remember Stargirl  (Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli, Oh I love this book to death!)when I was reading this book. She and Charlie is  alike in some terms.   I can’t wait to watch the movie ! ^^

The adoration of jenna fox

For me, I find it very slow paced not until the climax. The climax was a boom!  I wasn’t expecting it ,that I stopped for a minute  and think of how it  greatly uplift my interest in reading some more. It was just wow! I didn’t really see that coming! In one part it did give a hint of what was  happening, but all my guesses were wrong. I like how this book made me love  plot about science and finding your identity. Not only did I enjoy some tidbits about science (in which I admit is my weakness) but I also learned many great things about valuing our humanity  . I was mindblown! That’s all I could say. 

Love,Stargirl

Hands down! 

This book never ever fails to make me smile and appreciate everything in life. This will always be the book that I would read forever and not get tired of the story. Stargirl is such an inspiration.  A pleasant lady who is full of kindness and wisdom. She is so ordinary and simple but has a pure heart and soul.   I adore   Jerry Spinelli for creating   an astounding fictional character. I read this twice and Stargirl always made me to be just like her. A one of a kind lady with dreams.   This sequel is from Stargirl’s point of view and written in a diary form just like Charlie’s at “Perks of being a wallflower” .   She is one amazing lady who would think of others rather than herself. She is not perfect , but she make things to be perfect and beautiful. She is full of passion. She has high hopes. She makes sure everyone must be happy. She is a stargirl.
