If you like dinosaurs & action books you're in luck. Jurassic Park is an amazing action story with amazing details. The author put a lot of sense in the characters & the island. I think the author's strength in this book was the details, & I only found one or two typos. The book is 448 pages long. The storyline keeps you hooked to it so whenever you can you would want to read it. My favorite dinosaur out all the ones on the island is the dilophosaurus. The dilophosaurus was 10ft tall and had a special gland to spit venom in its prey's eyes, blinding them. As I was reading this book I could imagine that this could be a real life scenario. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes an adventure.Over 8 years agoshapla's book review was featured in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Thorndike Press Large Print Literacy Bridge Series).
Don't you just love the kinds of books that create a movie in your mind? "Miss Peregrines home for Peculiar Children" by Ransom Riggs is definitely one of those books! This book takes place during world war ll, at miss peregrines home. A boy named Jacob was only a kid when his grandfather told him stories about the children, Jacob didn't believe him though he thought they were fairy tales even after he saw photographs. His parents had convinced him that it was all made up. Jacob's dad never really connected with the grandfather because he was never home when Jacob's dad was a kid. His aunt and father though that there might be another girl. Jacob works at a store that runs in the family, that was his future...Until his grandfather has a major breakdown and ends up dying. His last words were "September third, 1940." Jacob was so impacted by his grandfather's death he has to see a psychiatrist. Dr. Golan was his name, he was also the antagonist in the story, read the book to find out why! The protagonist is Jacob because he is the main character and doesn't give up until he gets answers. After a while of nightmares about the death of his grandfather and seeing Dr golan, Jacob finds a letter. The letter was from miss Peregrine. Jacob does so much searching until he comes to a conclusion (with the help of golan) to go to the island of where the house was to find miss Peregrine and get some answers. Are the children real? Is miss peregrine even real? Read this weird yet exciting book to find out, I highly recommend it!Over 8 years agoshapla added a book review.

Do you like fiction stories? Than Harry Potter is the series for you. In this review I will be talking about the fourth book in the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter (protagonist) is a 14 year old boy about to start his fourth year in Hogwarts school of Witch and Wizardry. He stays at his aunt and uncle's house for the summer and gets a letter delivered by owl. It was from his friends mom saying that they want to take him to the Quidditch World Cup and let him stay at their house for the rest of the summer. One of the conflicts is that they go to the World Cup and something happens after. It's something called the dark mark. Is it a sign of Harry's death or a sign of his arch nemesis Voldemort (antagonist)? Another conflict is in the beginning of the year the school of Hogwarts finds out that the triwizard tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year. Three schools compete and each school has student 17 and older to put their names in the goblet of fire to have a chance to be chosen and be the school champion. They will need to complete three tasks and who ever gets the most points on the tasks will be the triwizard champion. Who will be the three school champions and who will win the triwizard tournament? Will Harry survive yet again another year of Hogwarts? I encourage you to read this book and series.Over 8 years ago
