Book Review

Before i start about the books i've read, i just wanted to tell you how excited i am that i learned how to add all these links and how to change the colors! i think i've spent the last hour playing with the HTML color pallet! i had the previously read as different links, but i decided i liked the books.

Eldest
first off, if you have seen the movie eragon, but have not read the book yet and plan on reading the book, or vice versa, you are in for a big disapointment! the first book is so much better. and, johng, i read it over a year ago, so i don't remember if it was hard to read. he just tries to throw in some big words and it kinda throws off the rhythmn. keep reading! Eldest was very good. it does not have as much action as the first book, but i believe it is simply building up to the third book. my husband has to read at least a chapter before bed. I recommend it, but don't expect a second movie to be at all like the book.

Harry Potter #1
i had to keep reminding myself that the book was written before the movie. i must say i am glad to see the screenwriters stuck to a lot of the book, and used many word for word phrases, even if different people said them. i don't have much to say about this book. just that it was very good, and it read fast. i think i finished it in a week. keep in mind, i was sick (see earlier post) so i got a lot read.

ok, not the best book review person. and let me just tell you, finishing eldest, immediately starting harry potter, and things bothering me at work, i had some messed up dreams about being scryed (is that right?) at work while trying to do/learn magic! yeah they were messed up! i do recommend reading the books though! i think i would've liked eragon the movie had i not read the movie, but the more i read the second book, the more frustrated i got at the movie with how much important stuff they left out. especially if they plan on doing Eldest as a movie! Harry potter i was much more understanding. if they added everything in the book, it would be a 5 hour movie!

speaking of Harry Potter, let me just tell you how frustrated i am about all the publicity that is going on about what's his name doing that play in england. HE'S an ACTOR! actors like to try different things! it is a very good play my husband says. he's not going play a teen forever! he's just expanding his talent! and if the media didn't make such a big deal, no kid would know he was doing such a role. why? because no kid is going to go see the play! and even if they did go see the play, they need to remember, as does everyone, he's an ACTOR! it's not harry potter playing this kid who get's naked on stage! please! they are two different characters and i think he has every right to play whatever role he wants to. i just wish people had a more open mind. come on people. seriously! He's not going to play harry potter forever, and this other play (sorry i am terrible with names of both shows and actors) will be good for him as an actor and as a person! yeah, i might always get casted as playing some form of whore (prostitute, can can girl, on my 9th marriage, cheat on my fiances, wear two pieces - down boys-). i just happen to play those characters well. doesn't mean i am one. it's a good challenge because it is not who i really am. and the more i'm casted as that sort of person, the better an actress i become because i just have to work harder. if that even made any sense to anyone but me. and now i have blabbled from a book review to defending what's his name aka harry potter. if by some strange odd chance you are reading this, i say good for you! and i wish you the best! break a leg!
