Behind the Beautiful Forever

After a couple of month finally my next review for a more adult theme book is out.Actually I do want to apologize for not reading any adult theme book sooner since I couldn't find any interesting ones until my father decided to give me a book for my birthday.I'm not complaining since I'm still short on cash..Anyway the book tells about real people who lives at Annawadi.the book is written by Katherine Boo and it was published in 2012.

The High and Low
.The story is excellently told.

The characters were uneven

Quick Summary
The story is told from a lot of perspectives but the story is mostly told by four person.Abdul,a young scavenger who works hard to feed his family since his father is not healthy and most of his brother and sister are too young.Asha,a woman who tries to succeed  by trying to go into politics regardless the sacrifices she has to make.Manju,She works as a part time teacher at a local school and she is also the only girl in Annawadi to ever go to a college(Thanks to her mom Asha)and Sunil,a young boy who is not sure on what to become.The story tells their success,(mostly)failure,joy and (mostly)sadness.

The Conclusion
I was pleasently suprised on how good the story was.The story was excellently told,great details on Annawadi and the life at a slum.Sad and sweet at he sametime not to mention a nice ending.The only thing that bothered me was it's uneven character,meaning that the characters are likable at one time and suddenly they were hateful but then again this book is based on a true story so ofcourse there are going to be great and awful moments for these characters.Anyway the author manages to write a sad yet touching story that captures the essence of hoping for a better life.

Beyond The Spiderwick Chronicles:A Giant Problem

Firstly I'm going to say that I'm sorry to all of you for not writing my post earlier.Recently I 've been on a budget so unfortunately last week I didn't have enough money to buy a book and no the local library do not have any interesting books.My friends do read books but sadly they read what I read(Most of them read a book one a month so they normally ask me on what they should read)so finally I decided to raid my little sister's closet.Luckily she was kind enough to lend me a book which was Beyond The Spiderwick Chronicles:A Giant Problem.If you remember I have read the first book for my children's book month on May.Well as you may know the book has two authors Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizziand it was publised on the year 2009.

The High and Low
.Absolutely gorgeus illustrations.
.Characters like Jules and Cindy has more role to play this time around

.The story was simply too bland.

Quick Summary
 Nick and Laurie started going to a class on how to kill giants teached by Jack.While Nick was insanely bored and depressed Laurie was as giddy as a girl just being invited by the senior and hot jock(sorry for the weird comaparison)Aftera while they found a fairie that was playing with a message left by Taloa saying that she was going to find her sister by herself.Laurie decided to keep the faerie(she thinks it a hobgoblin)and named it Sandspur after they returned home they say two giants who were fighting each other trashing everything around them Nick,Laurie and Jules quick get out of the house..........................That's all I can say since this book is pretty short.

The Conclusion
I have to say that as a reader I am dissapointed with this book.The story was simply too bland,there was never any memorable or interesting chapter that I can name and when you're a book about Magic and Faeries and does not have any interesting story or atleast a great character you have almost nothing.luckily the character was fine(not great just fine)giving characters like Jules and Cindy more highlight does make the story a little bit interesting and truthfully I did feel that Cindy and Jules managed to compliment Nick's and Laurie's character.Ofcourse it does help to have great illustration which made the story more livelier that it was supposed to be.While I do think that the author could have done better but I can't complain that much because at least they did put effort on the illustartions so I guess I just have to be satisfied with this.

Gifted:Speak No Evil

Well Hello readers I'm sorry if you feel that this is the only thing that I had read recently.Recently I have been quite busy so I only had time to read shor books but please don't worry since there are no Gifted Book 7 out in the market right now so if you're sick reading my reviews on the series you will probably be overjoyed.Anyway this is the 6th book of the series and of course it is written by Marilyn Kaye and it was published in 2010.I was shocked when I found out that the book was published in 2010.I mean the authour did not release a new book in 2011 and the year 2012 is almost over.Probably the author decided to quit on the series because it lacked popularity or slow sales.

High and Low
.The story finally reveals the backstory of the mysterious giftes students Carter
.The story focuses less on the epicness and more and the storytelling

.The book is simply too short
.I really hope that the author would expand the role for Cooper and Martin

Quick summary
Carter is now in the care of Doctor Paley.The doctor tried to hypnotize Carter so thet Carter can remember his past.Carter finally remembers who he was and realized what was is his gift.Amanda and Ken wants to be normal so when Doctor Paley announced to them that it is possible to get rid of their gift they felt somewhat happy.When Amanda managed to save a hitchiker from trouble and Ken managed to locate a bomb in the building the felt hesistant about throwing their gifts away  when they could help people with their gift...............................That's all I guess.

The conclusion
As some of you might have guess,whenever Amanda is one of the book's lead i'm going to give it a better review than Jenna's.Truthfully speaking this is probably the best book since the second one not only we get to learn about Carter mysterious past it also focuses on a simple good story than an bad "epic or adventurous" story.You might think I'm being a little bit biass since Amanda is one of the lead but I did feel that the fifth book tried too much without acomplishing anything great.While tis book isn't trying to be accomplish anything great for the it did managed to make characters like Ken and Amanda grow a liitle but I do hope the authour would make Martin and Cooper more of a central character next time.Nonetheless this is a great book for the fans of the series and I am glad to say that I haven't given up on the series yet.
