Quatrains

Lord of the Rings

Lord of the Rings
there is Frodo Baggins
and lots of kings
there are no more dragons

Frodo uses Sting
his best friend is Samwise
they put orcs into a sling
they are cool guys

They left the shire
they went with Pippin and Merry
when they got home it was on fire
they crossed a river on a ferry

Frodo, Pippen, Merry and Sam
they travelled to Rivendell
To eat some good ham
Where they will dwell

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

    I just finish this book for the second time in my life. It is one of my favourite books. I like so much because it combines my love for the Greek myths and adventure. Rick Riordan is a great author, he combines true facts with fiction making a great story about an demigod on his travels. This book is like a new Greek myth based on modern times. This book is about a 12 year old boy named Percy. When he is at his cabin with his mother Sally a hurricane hits causing them to flee. Their suddenly flips and they start to run. all of sudden the Minator is there and kills Sally. Percy in his rage is able to kill the beast but is knocked out after. When he awakes he finds out all about he Greek gods. After his recovery Percy finds out he is a son of the Sea God Posieon. He is accused for stealing Zeus's all powerful master bolt. Percy goes on a quest to the Underworld to recover the master bolt with his two best Friends Annabeth (daughter of Athena) and Grover (a satyr (half goat,half man)) to clear his name and his fathers. If Percy does not succeed there will be a war among the Gods (WWIII). On his way Percy has to get past lots of obstacles trying ti stop him from achieving his final goal including Medusa, Ares, A trap the makes Time go by fast, and false information. This books elements are: Action, Adventure, a small bit of Romance, and Some Riddles.

My final thoughts of this book is it is amazing. It is my 4th favourite book I have ever read after Lord of the Rings, Inkspell, and the fifth book of this series The Last Olympian. This book obviously has to be good due to me reading it twice. I would rate this book a 9/10 (yes that how good it is). 

There is a movie for this  book. I thought the movie was terrible because it did not fallow the story line very well. But By brother who has not read the book said it was really good. Anyone who I here has read the book agrees its bad but anyone who has not read the book says its a really good movie. So if you want to enjoy the movie see it first. It does not give away much about the book but it still follows part of the story line.

Small Steps: Louis Sachar

   This book is a spin off from Louis Sachar's first book Holes. After the boys are rescued from Camp Green Lake Theodore aka "Armpit" returns home and starts trying to fix his screwed up life. He gets a pretty good job digging holes (of coarse). Then one day one of his old friends (X-Ray) comes by Theodore's work sight trying to borrow money for tickets to resell for a famous teen pop singer concert Kaira Deleon. X-Ray tricks Theodore into buying the tickets with him promising him to double his money. After not being able to sell the last ticket Theodore goes to the concert with his disabled friend Ginny. They end up meeting Kaira DeLeon  and go on a roller coaster of life. This a love story between two very different people who come from completely different worlds. Along with the strange romance Louis Sachar does a great job of putting a little bit of action and comedy.

Overall I would say this one of the best books I have read in a while. It is a classic fiction book making it one of the reasons I likes it so much because it is different from my average fantasy books I read. I would rate this book a 8.67/10
