    David Copperfield has not had an easy life. After his mother marries strict Mr. Murdstone and he is sent to school, he has no choice but to adapt to this new life. ALong the way he creates new relationships, such as Dora, his future childish wife, Agnes, a dear friend, and Steerforth, an old school friend who supports David. When his mother dies, he learns how to make a living, and then seeks help from another relative, Aunt Betsey, who takes in David as if he were her son. Soon enough, Agnes comes running for David's advice, as her father's business is being threatened by a greedy Uriah Heep, who is taking advantage of the old man. How will David help Agnes? Will he crumble under the pressure, or will he fight through the obstacles and finally settle down with a job? To find out, read David Copperfield. I enjoyed the numerous plot twists in the book, and how David showed that he would never let anything anyone said to him take him down. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good book. This book was a 4 out of 5 stars.

    domosaur's book review was featured in Dactyl Hill Squad.
    Magdalys lives in New York, where dinosaurs roam the streets and segregation still prevails. Magdalys is an orphan, and with her other friends, she stays in the Colored Orphan Asylum. There, she missed her siblings dearly, and was also bullied by the matron. One night, when the Crunks are performing The Tempest at the Zanzibar Savannah Theater, many orphans from the Colored Orphan Asylum are kidnapped on their way to the theater by none other than Richard Riker, the magistrate. On that same night, Magdalys notices that Varney, the orphanage's triceratops, seems to be listening to Magdalys, and replying by following her instructions, such as "go". Magdalys and the rest of her friends find refuge with the Dactyl Hill neighborhood, where they train dactyls and plan a way to rescue their friends before it's too late. As well as that, Magdalys strengthens her ability to talk to dinosaurs, which will help a great deal on their quest. Will they save their friends before it's too late? Or will they be gone forever? To find out, read Dactyl Hill Squad, which I give a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I love how dinosaurs were a major part of the story and how interesting/well-thought each character was. I recommend this to anyone who loves a good adventure and dinosaurs.

    domosaur's book review was featured in Ready Player One (Movie Tie-In).
    With a global energy crisis, over population, and many more problems, many people on Earth turn to the OASIS, a multiplayer simulation game, where everyone can live the life they want, just like Wade Watts did. The OASIS was created by the brilliant mind of James Halliday, and after he died, the whole world found out that he left his whole fortune for the most worthy OASIS user, who had to do to Easter Egg Halliday had hidden in the OASIS by finding the three keys, and passing the three gates, as well as the final task. Soon nearly everyone was on the OASIS to find the egg. The IOI also hired a task force just for the egg. Wade, on the other hand, considered himself to be a gunter, since he knew everything about Halliday and was always thinking about the clue for the location of the first key. Will Wade be worthy enough to find the Easter Egg, or will IOI beat him to it? Blinded by fame and love, will Wade really risk his relationships with all his friends, and isolate himself? Or will he get his head back into the game and not let his popularity change his personality? To find out, you should read Ready Player One. It is now one of my favorite books, and I really enjoyed reading it. Throughout the whole book, I found it fascinating how detailed it was, and my favorite part was how Wade changed from being blinded by popularity to becoming more humble thoughtful. There were always new twists in the book, and I recommend this book to anyone who loves science fiction. I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
