Review: Eona ,the last Dragoneye
Description:
Eon has been revealed as Eona, the first female Dragoneye in hundreds of years. Along with fellow rebels Ryko and Lady Dela, she is on the run from High Lord Sethon's army. The renegades are on a quest for the black folio, stolen by the drug-riddled Dillon; they must also find Kygo, the young Pearl Emperor, who needs Eona's power and the black folio if he is to wrest back his throne from the selfstyled "Emperor" Sethon. Through it all, Eona must come to terms with her new Dragoneye identity and power - and learn to bear the anguish of the ten dragons whose Dragoneyes were murdered. As they focus their power through her, she becomes a dangerous conduit for their plans. . . .
Review:
The beginning was the bomb actually. It was still full of thrills. Eona and her friends hiding from Sethon. Ok,I woudn't spoil much.Anyway, the story still goes wherein they would have this little adventure and find ways on how to attack their enemy. Blah blah. It was an enjoyable journey , in my opinion. Eona, was still not sure of her powers and stuff. In this book I also found out more about Dela, Ryko , Lord Ido and of course Kygo. (Ooooh, Kygo *u*)
As of Eona's personality, in here she was growing into a mature dragoneye. She was not the same Eona/ Eon unlike in the first book, for me she has changed a lot. Also because of what she has exerienced and learned. It was good really. Knowing that she's chaninging, not your usual boring heroine. She was somehow in between of good and bad. But she still manage to do the right thing.
Anyway, almost all of the characters in this book were in in between of good and bad. You can say that they are actually real persons, who has feelings. They are up and down , not perfect human beings. Of course it's fine. I can get to know them more. There's also romance in here, obviously , stating the fact that Eon has reaveled herself as Eona.
This is really an awesome dulogy. I was sad when I finished it earlier. I mean, the experience of reading it and being in the celestial dragons world, with the dragons and Eona was a very fulfilling journey. (I know all bookworms would understand me..) It was very an emotional ride, reading this book and now it has come to an end. Why?!? *sobs* The ending was superb, by the way.
That's all. I would miss Eona. Epic story. Very Epic.

Review: Divergent
Description : In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

Review: Finally I have read this book after days of longing and curiosity.A big thanks to my friend who lend me this.
First of all,I learned many great things about this book. It's such a wonderful thing how this manage to make me realize all the virtues in life. For me this is not just another dystopian novel , because it's a pleasure reading this book. It's also an easy read. Plus, this made me like and want to have tatoos!
The protagonist,Tris is a fighter and a leader. The world where she lives values the different virtues way too much, thus group the same people who values each virtue altogether . I somehow envy that kind of world where everything is organized. But of course, it's dystopia where everything is controlled,so forget the words I said earlier.
Many people said that this is like Hunger Games. But for me, it's definitely not. Let's just say HG is much violent. All in all, this is a great book! I can't wait to read its sequel Insurgent.

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!

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!

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.
