Quote and Paper Towns

I have an app called LOVE by Tiny Buddha and everyday at 4pm it sends me a quote and this one really hit me:

“Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.” -Thomas Fuller

Now for my review:

John Green is one of my favorite authors of all time. He is sarcastic, witty, intelligent, and humorous but also beautifully profound.

Looking for Alaska is in my opinion a masterpiece. Along with the Fault in Our Stars. Their deep meaning is relentless.

I recently read Paper Towns which had me laughing and thinking. Going an adventure with the characters.

I was ecstatic to see how it was portrayed as a movie.

Knowing how adaptions go I knew to keep an open mind. But honestly even keeping that in mind it was just sad.

The screen writers cut literally the best parts of the novel and remixed them into quick lines.

The main character Q seemed as though he was an obsessive weakling. Margot Roth Spiegelman was an insensitive tease (no offense Cara Delevingne I love you deeply). Radar and Ben looked ten years younger than Q. And the deep philosophical meaning of the chase was lost and removed leaving a cheesy love story.

I’m sorry but… What the hell.

No matter. Don’t go see the movie just read the book instead. (Said every book nerd ever) But still.

The 100 and The Raven Boys

One of the most relaxing things in the world is reading a good book. Not everyone enjoys spending hours staring aimlessly at a bunch of printed words but personally I find it calming.
One of the books I have finished recently is “The Raven Boys” It is the first book in the “Raven Cycle” series and I honestly loved it. I just kinda stumbled upon it and was presently surprised.
It is about a girl named Blue who is burdened with a grim fait that when she kisses her true love he will die. She is surrounded by a family of psychics but she doesn’t possess the gift. I don’t want to give anything away accidentally but I will leave it at that. It is categorized as teen romance but I beg to differ.

I also recently finished “The 100” series. I don’t remember if I have talked about the 100 show before but it is one of my favorites!! I decided to read the books after I finished walking the first two seasons. Let’s just say the credits say the show is based off of the book but there are really no similarities it was almost as if they were two different stories. Regardless both the show and the books are amazing and unique and everything else.

Now I have so many other books on my list to read this summer so yay!

Side note: I started reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series (Game of Thrones) and it is very very very intricate it reminds me a lot of the lord of rings. So we will see but my hopes are high.

Words Per Minute

I have like a secret power where I can read at a speed that is in humanly possible.

I finished “Four” By Veronica Roth which is a serrate book adding to the Divergent series and oddly was the only good book in the series even though it was’t even in it!!! I seriously love love love the concept of the whole series but it is just so poorly written it is hardly a page turner.
Adding onto that I then say “Insurgent” which is a movie adaption to the second book in the series and I was actually really impressed with how similar it was to the actual book I really couldn’t find any major differences… and I cringe at these words but the movie was actually better than the book. I know horrible but true.

Then I finished “Paper Towns” by (the almighty) John Green. He is one of my favorite authors without a doubt. If anyone is going to figure out the answer to everything it will be him. He is one of the most brilliant people ever. Look into him he also has a youtube channel he shares with his brother Hank. Paper Towns did not disappoint in the slightest. It was like anything John Green… Tragic, hilarious, beautiful, and witty.

I also am halfway through the third book in the Maze Runner series. And it is actually better than I expected. Again the writing isn’t as dramatic as I would have hoped in a post apocalyptic teen drama book but I mean you can’t have everything. I actually haven’t been able to but the books down. I mean I read the Maze Runner before the movie came out and I loved the concept but his writing made me fall asleep. And the movie was just as good as the book. I guess I didn’t have much hope for the rest of the series but a year later I decide to pick up the second book and I do not regret it at all. It is honestly one of the most realistic post apocalyptic book I have ever read… well I mean besides the Hunger Games which is also one of my favorites.

Now for the less exciting news:
Yeah so its been awhile.
Life gets crazy and then one loses their voice again for no freaking reason and then things get even more crazy.
Of course the universe knew I had a million important things to do this weekend so that means that it would be a good time for me to not be able to speak to anyone!!!! AHHHHH!

So then that leaves us with this. I croaked my way through interviews and ended up getting into another college! yippy!

Anyways reading all these books this week has made me come up with more theories about the world we live in… but I won’t get into that now.
This concludes a daunting post about nothing and books! YAY!

Big Hero 6+Mockingjay+Interstellar+Horrible Bosses 2+Fury Pt. 1

As you can tell by the title we have a lot to cover so lets get to it. Part 1 of multiple rants on the newest movies.

So about almost a month ago now I saw Big Hero 6. This movie was fantastic. I laughed my ass off. Some animation movies are just awful and boring. This movie was very unique especially for a Disney movie. I mean it had it’s cheap cliches but come on it is a Disney movie. I fell in love with Baymax as everyone did, it was really no surprise. It was one of the cutest movies I have seen in awhile. I highly suggest spending your money on this new kid movie.

Mockingjay… Hold on let me shed a tear first… It sucked. I am a huge… HUGE HUNGER GAMES FAN!!!! I was so freaking disappointed!! The other movies were satisfactory for movie adaptions. But this one just screwed it self over. My mother fell asleep in the seat next to me. The other movies had a least a story line that people could understand and enjoy even if you hadn’t read the movies. For this interpretation I kept thinking, “By the angel, these poor un-hunger games nerds… They must be wanting to jab themselves in the eyes with forks. You can not split an already boring finale into two parts and torture us with the poor excuse of an ending to one of the best series ever. Only  Peter Jackson can screw us over like that!!!
