The Name of the Star & Jack the Ripper

From Hell,
I have recently read the The Name of the Star (T.N.O.T.S) by Maureen Johnson. This book was incredible!!! Basically a girl named Rory moves to a boarding school in England. But the first day she get's there a copy cat Jack the Ripper begins murdering people in almost exactly the same way as the 1888 Jack the Ripper. So she goes to her boarding school and every thing is okay (well as okay as it can be during a "New and Improved Ripper-mania" with a serial killer on the loose.) until 9/30; the night of the 3rd and 4th murder. Rory and her roommate sneak out to see if the can catch a glimpse of the terror. When returning to their dorm Rory sees something; and even though her roommate was right there only Rory saw it. To find out how this is possible you'll have to read the book! Everyone knows how I am obsessed with PERCY JACKSON. Well if you asked what my favorite book is, I would say it's a tie between P.J & T.N.O.T.S!! Which for me is HUGE. My favorite part would probably be the suspense.
INFORMATION
Jack the Ripper (for those of you who don't know) was pretty much one of the first serial killers. Back in 1888 it was hard for people to understand someone killing just to kill. But the worst part is that he got away. Modern day Ripperologists (I know what your thinking but "Ripperology" is a real thing) say they know who it is, and it is VERY possible they do! But they will never know for sure because all witnesses and evidence are long dead. Wait...it gets better! Some people believe that the reason he stopped was that he actually didn't! He simple decided to let AMERICA in on the fun. In New York, 1891, a string brutal murders done in a similar manner as the Rippermania victims were killed began. A message to the chief was written on the wall that said "Okay catch me boss" which could have been linked to the "Dear Boss" letters believed to be sent by Jack the Ripper! 11 days passed after the first NY murder and by then they had 3 more victims but no killer. Since this is supposed to be a review of a book I'm going to stop my self there, but for more info click on the link above!

So anyways, the story takes place in modern day England and what people are scared of, besides the whole serial killer on the loose thing, is that they don't know if this new Saucy Jack will continue after 11/9 and if he does will the police ever be able to stop him. The one thing I have to say about this book was the alcohol. Its not that the main characters got drunk or anything, I just felt like they brought it up too much. I would recommend this book to only people 8th grade and up because it is about a serial killer. This book wasn't extremely creepy or gory but it did have it's moments. I was left gaping at the end until I learned (thankfully) that there WILL BE A SECOND BOOK!! This is the first book in the Shades of London series which was very nice so I will post more information on this if you only wate a whil longer. To conclude this very long post, this book was fantastically creepy and took a paranormal twist to a classic killing. What do you guys think happened to J.T.R? Post in the comment section of your theories!

The Hunger Games Movie

Hi Everyone! On the second day it came out me and my friends went to go see the Hunger Games Movie! It was AMAZING! It was VERY CLOSE to the book. They did add in some behind the scenes stuff with the game makers which I loved!! The Only thing I will say is that i didn't particularly like their character portrayal. Like in the beginning the group who made an alliance were laughing while chasing Katniss, and I just though that it was more twisted than in the book. I also wished they played up Rue's flowers more though. I have to say though it was the best movie based off a book that I have ever seen! They showed districts 11's reaction after Rue's death which was probably my Favorite part of the movie! I also heard that they were splitting up the 3rd book into 2 movies, which I think is a good idea! But now for the important stuff..Peeta and Gale! Now I am of course team PEETA! What team are you on?? Post it in the comments section!

The Kindle

Hello people of the 21st century! It's 2012 and although we don't have flying cars or teliportation devices, we are so high tech now that paper is becoming obsolete! This year for Christmas I got a kindle and I love it. I have the First Generation Kindle which looks like this.

It's great because it doesn't look like a screen. It really looks like paper which makes it easy to read. What's really cool is that I can zoom in on pictures so that they take up the whole screen! The first book I read on it was The 39 Clues: A King's Ransom and since that book has several pictures it came in handy. I can hold tons of books on it and can buy almost any book with just the click of a button! Also, books that are in the public domain are FREE! I got Edgar Allan Poe, The Three Muskateers, and Sherlock Holmes all on my kindle for free. The only problem is I'm having trouble finding a case. If anyone knows where I can get one, then please post it in the comments :-)

Academy 7

Hello everyone HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! This officially the first post of 2012!! I'm reviewing a book today called Academy 7. This incredible syfy drama by Anne Osterlund was defiantly an enjoyable read. Although it was a little too dramatic for my taste. What I really enjoyed about this was that the syfy was really cool but NOT to far-fetched like some syfy stories can be. I loved the different characters personality and how their past fits into their present. Basically the story is about 2 people who, against all odds get into the best school in the galaxy. Together they need to let go of their pasts and move on to the future. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone under middle school because the violent descriptions.
That's all for now!
