I used to read Goddess Girls because I love Greek Mythology, and this series had the same author so I decided to read it. The first installment in Grimmtastic Girls tells the story of Cinderella. Cinderella's first day at Grimm Academy is filled with surprises, both good and bad. She has to save Prince Awesome's Ball before her Stepsisters ruin it. I didn't like this book as much as the Goddess Girls' books but it was also not as bad as I thought it would be. ~ifeelbookish

Justin Case follows the exploits of a worrisome third-grader named Justin. The year doesn't start well for him; his best friend is in a different class, his little sister is starting kindergarten, and he's lost his favorite stuffed animal. Third grade can be pretty complicated for the average kid, but for Justin, it can be downright stressful. Justin's year unfolds in a diary-like format starting on the first day of school. I'm getting tired of the "wimpy kid, drawings in a journal" kind of thing. So I was really unwilling to get into the book. It was an okay book overall, but I think my hatred for the wimpy kid format overshadowed how unique the book actually is. Overall, I would give this about 2.5 stars. ~ifeelbookish

*SPOILERS* (I didn't know whether to review the book or the movie, so I just reviewed both.) So let's start with the characters. Well, Uriah was going to be introduced in Insurgent, and Al killed himself five minutes after he was introduced. Ugh. Edward wasn't in the movie, and of course, there wasn't a butter knife stabbing. Those were my only problems with the characters. I really loved Ansel as Caleb, and Shailene was just perfection. Remember when Tris was about to shoot Peter in the arm near the end of the book? Well Peter was like, "You're not going to shoot me," and then Tris says "Why does everybody keep saying that?" That bit was hilarious. I couldn't really imagine Tris and Peter as enemies because I kept imagining them as Sutter and Amie. And I was shipping Caleb and Tris because they played Hazel and Gus in TFIOS. That's kind of weird that I'm shipping them, but, oh well. I didn't imagine Eric as this thirty-something year old guy with huge arms. He was great though. Zoe Kravitz was amazing as Christina. She captured Christina's feisty character, it felt that she was saying exactly what came to her mind. I had an extreme crush on Theo because he played Four so well, that I was just - ohmygod yes. In the beginning, there was inevitably a short monologue, but I was fine with it. I was on the edge of my seat for the whole movie, even though I would know what would happen next. The pacing was perfect, and the transitions from each fear in the fear landscape was perfect. I cried about three times during the movie. I think you know which scenes those were (Will, Tris' parents dying). When they were eating in the cafeteria for the first time, Tris asks Four if he's a transfer or not. Four says,"So you think you can just talk to me? Why do you think you can just talk to me?" And then Tris goes, "Well you're so approachable." Oh, and when Christina is like your name is Four, like the number 4? Four says the first thing that you have to learn here is to keep your mouth shut. I just loved how Christina spoke her mind. When Tris takes off her sweater when she's getting ready to jump off the building, Peter's like, "YEAH! TAKE IT OFF! Put it back on." Those lines were just hilarious. The fighting scenes were actually really hard to watch, especially when Molly was fighting. Christina hanging off the chasm didn't really make me worry for her, because she just hung off the chasm for, like, ten seconds or so. It didn't provoke much emotion. Four's introduction was just perfect, and it wasn't as cheesy as it was in the trailer. The green screen and the technology was absolutely amazing. When they entered Four's fear landscape together, I felt that those scenes were really powerful. When Marcus was about to whip Four, it was just awesome how Four punched him. The transitions, again, were perfect. The cinematography was breathtaking. The pacing was also very very good. When I imagined the scoreboard during the initiation, I imagined Four writing names on a chalkboard. I'm pretty sure that it was like that in the book, because instead of the chalkboard, there was an electronic scoreboard that looked all high-techy (if that's even a word). The factions were presented very accurately, and when Tris went to visit Caleb at the Erudite headquarters, the building looked distinctly modern. And compared to the Dauntless compound, which had concrete walls, the Erudite headquarters was all modern and everything had glass. The soundtrack was really good. I feel like Ellie Goulding is on every dystopian movie soundtrack, but I think her voice is best for Divergent. When Four and Tris kiss for the first time, Ellie's voice was just heavenly (right in the feels). Capture the flag was really amazing. I liked how Christina and Tris held the flag together, and how Four and Tris were climbing up the ferris wheel to get a better view of the city. That moment was really cute because Four helped Tris when she was about to fall off. I felt that it was very short though. Tris didn't dangle from the ferris wheel, and Four had to turn on the ferris wheel, and Tris almost got ran over. They didn't include that scene. I love their little banter when they were climbing up. Four was like "ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN?" Oh, and their guns didn't have paint pellets, they had these darts that inflicted the pain of a real gunshot for about ten seconds. After that sequence, they had the zip-lining scene and it was so well done. Tris looked so free and I felt really happy for her. It was like I was with her, and I started tearing up because it was a beautiful scene. I was extremely emotional when Tris was about to kill Will. It was very powerful, because Tris was shouting his name and Will was getting closer. Those death scenes were just like BAM, BAM, BAM! First, Natalie dies, then Will, then Tris' dad. I felt like I got the most emotional when Natalie died because Tris was crying. When Will and Tris' dad died, I was just bawling silently in the theater. Tris and Four's developing relationship was very believable and just perfect. When they finally kissed, I was like achievement acquired! The scene where they started interrogating Jeanine, and they tried to shut down the simulation was gripping. Tris threw a knife at Jeanine's hand, which didn't happen in the book, but it NEEDED to happen. I was happy that they included that bit. I was a little disappointed that Visiting Day didn't occur, but I understand why they didn't include it. I really wished that the movie was longer, but don't we all do? I'm kind of sad that Neil Burger isn't going to be returning to direct Insurgent because he felt like he couldn't do the sequel in the amount of time that he was given. This was actually a really long review, but whatever. Overall, I would give this a 97% out of a 100%. Catching Fire was better by 2%, but both of them were really close. I absolutely loved Divergent. I seriously can't wait for Insurgent, which comes out March 20, 2014. 363 more days until Insurgent, yaaaayyy. Until next time, ifeelbookish

Hands down, the worst book-to-movie adaptation that I have ever watched. I'm really disappointed with Cassandra Clare, I can't believe it. I've been waiting for a movie adaptation for so long, and this is how it turns out. I'm utterly crestfallen. ~ifeelbookish

All Charlotte wants is to be liked. She is a social outcast that is desperate for someone, anyone to at least notice her. Throw in Charlotte's crush, a gummy bear, Physics class, and that's the end of Charlotte as we know it, literally. At the end of Physics class, Charlotte unbelievably chokes on a gummy bear just when Damien her crush, actually notices her. Tragic, isn't it? Well, she ends up in "DeadEd", a class for dead students to "graduate" which simply means to move on. This book is an amazing story of the constant struggle for popularity, and the lengths we'll go to achieve that. Hurley's debut novel really amazed me. It seemed really ironic in the beginning, but as the story progressed I became more engrossed with the story. I love the illustrations, and especially the cover. The story was actually really thought-provoking with a dark twist. Overall, I really liked it, and I can't wait to read the whole series. Lastly, I think this is quite a mature read so I would recommend this to 14+. ~ifeelbookish

Auggie "August" Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to school. Auggie has been home-schooled his whole life but this year, he's finally entering the 5th grade at Beecher Prep. But going to school for the first time comes with challenges that Auggie will need to face, like overpowering bullies and how to make friends. Can Auggie overcome the preconceived prejudices toward him? First off, let's talk about the characters. Auggie is probably the nicest main character that I have ever encountered, well, in books at least. I think that my favorite character would be Miranda, who used to be a really close friend of August's sister, Via or Olivia. She's thought as rebellious because she dyes her hair pink in the book, but she's still the same person the Via knew. This book was extremely upbeat and lighthearted. I cried at least once during the book because something happened, but I won't spoil it for you. The pacing was on-point as well as everything else in the book. I loved how the book was narrated through different perspectives like Miranda, Via, Justin or Via's boyfriend, Auggie of course, Summer, a nice girl that becomes friends with Auggie, and Jack, another one of Auggie's friends. I could reread this book over and over again, and I absolutely wouldn't get tired of it. I sincerely recommend this to everyone, whether you're 90 years old or 9 years old. ~ifeelbookish

I wrote an essay about the VGo Robot and it's actually really helpful. They should use it in schools.

That's so cool! I'd be so scared to do that.
