Thinking Straight---Robin Reardon

I'm not putting on a cover XP
Deal with it.

Okay, 3.9/5
It was a good book, and very good plot, EXCELLENT plot, SUPERB (LOL, aren't I a dork? :D) plot, but very very very hard to follow.
I got lost with who all the characters were other than Taylor, Charles and the emo kid. I don't even remember his name. How messed up is that?
So, yes, I would have loved the book.
It might've made my Top Ten.
BUT,
I got confused :P

Ages....ages....
Well, I want to put 12+, but I know I shouldn't :P
Ages 14+
And I hate myself for it.

THE REST OF THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS

Okay, so, like, I have a few questions?
1. Who the heck was Sean, nd why did the main character keep saying he had a 'hot body'?
2. Mr. Priest guy killed Ray, right? I think? Or was it that Ray killed himself? And why the heck were Ray and the emo kid kissing? Like, I don't know how to put this, but that confused me. Ray liked Mr. Emo Kid, right? Am I right?
3. Okay, so when Will (Who I love) comes and meets Taylor, isn't there a fence between them? So why is it they could kiss on the ground? There would be cold metal bars between them.
Lastly,
4. Will and Taylor were together, I know that. But for how long? Or did it not say?

Alright, I have a lot more questions but they'd be a little hard to put into words. Like, what was the moral of the story, kids?
LOL, no, there are no kids in here. :)

And so peace out all you people, I'm headin to the beach for the next week, and then I'll have four books to do. :P
Love Sick
Willow (I can't believe I've never reviewed that...)
Blue Moon (The Immortals book 2)
Deadly Little Secret

Guess What!

LOL, this is pointless.
For a book review blog, recently I've been posting more and more NON reviews. LOL.
BUT...
This is at least about a book...well...two books, really.
1st of all: I'm getting Thinking Straight by Robin Reardon...(I know who that is...I think.)
But yeah, I'm getting Thinking Straight cuz it was stuck in my head. Just the cover, actually, but I'm getting it at the library.
AND,
Second of all,
LOL, I'm might be getting another book, about a guy who's parents don't like that he's gay, and so they send him to an ALL BOYS BOARDING SCHOOL.
God, I knew adults were stupid but this?! Really?!
Okay, it's ALL BOYS. And it's a BOARDING SCHOOL.
Adults ARE stupid, LOL.

Thinking Straight: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Thinking-Straight/Robin-Reardon/e/9780758219282/?itm=1

I personally like Borders better, but you can only get Without Sin if you order it on either Amazon or Barnes and Noble. I don't order online though, which sucks.
I know.
LOL.

Hero---Perry Moore

Um...:) *awkward giggles* I don't know what to say.

689/5

This book left me speechless. OMG, I feel the need for a Top 10 change! Kick out Project 17, make way for Hero! Woo! It actually made my TOP 5! Yep, another book has made my TOP3!!! Oh yes!

Okay, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO YEARS, A Certain Slant of Light IS NO LONGER MY FAVORITE!

That's right, Hero, the amazing book by Perry Moore, has passed A Certan Slant of Light, and is now my FAVORITE book of all time.

Oh yeah, it passed all THREE of David Levithan's books. (Amazing, right? That NEVER happens!) (I still love you David Levithan, for you are the guy who inspired me to start writing myself)

Oh yes, Now my top three are:

3. The Vast Fields of Ordinary---Nick Burd
2. Boy Meets Boy--David Levithan (I love him sooooo much, oh GOD)
1. HERO--Perry Moore (amazing, dude. Really.)

ONTO THE REVIEW!!!

This book is about Thom and his father mainly. So Thom's father used to be the greatest superhero ever. Until he messed up and killed 19,000 people. So, now he hates all things Superhero. And, the problem is, Thom is turning into one. And, what's up with him and Goran? I mean, they hate each other at the beginning, but, that changes a bit quickly, LOL. And, who IS Dark Hero anyways? (If you have half a brain you'll figure it out the first time he shows up.)
(And, BTW, this is also a kind of sweet love story, if you aren't up for the butt-kicking superhero stuff. I mean, (kinda spoiler, not really) Him and Goran, so cute.<3)

So, yeah, if that made any sense at all. :)

12+

See all of you's LATER,

The God Box---Alex Sanchez

Okay, so first of all let me say: Alex Sanchez is AWESOME. There is no denying it. I mean, first of all, he can write. Second of all, I think he has the awesomest name in the HISTORY of awesome names. Alex Sanchez, Wooo!

4.5/5

Alright, so I loved the idea here, new kid in school, openly gay, big homophobic issues. What I didn't love was the way everyone made SUCH A BIG DEAL out of everything! Manuel was almost killed! I mean, really, if there are places with THAT many homophobes, our world has major issues.

Um...okay, this book is about Pablo, a.k.a. Paul, and, of course, the dude is gay. BUT, he is ALWAYS denying it, which bothered me. I mean...I'm not like that, LOL, if I were a character in the story I'd be more like Manuel. An I know some people aren't that way, but, I'd just prefer to go, "Yeah, I'm gay, and if you have a problem with it, then don't talk to me, K?"

I'm just like that, but, clearly, a lot of people aren't and they're more like, "Me, gay? What? No, no!" So, I guess that's why I didn't seem to think this book was...complete? I don't know. I just didn't relate to the main character at all, and it might be because I'm a girl, but I just didn't.

(Actually, I don't think it was because I'm a girl. I've related to gay guy characters countless times.)

So, ages 12+

and I'm just saying: It was a great book! Imean, Manuel was a freaking GENIUS! I'm going to say this once, READ IT.

Love and stuff,
xxNataliexx

Natalie MOVIE Reviews! Speak

So, I watched the movie cuz I thought the book was great, (read the review), and now I'm reviewin it!

5/5

Okay, so I know what your thinking, "Hey, isn't it that chick from Twilight?"

Yes, yes it is. It is that chick from Twilight. But, based on her performance in this, you should be saying, "Hey, isn't it that chick from Speak?"

IT WAS REALLY THAT GREAT.

It had me in tears, like, four times. Seriously, I don't think I've cried during a movie since, like...ever. Really.

And, Kristen Stewart, who played Melinda, was PERFECT. She was only 14 in this movie when she filmed it, and I'm all like, WOW. You know? And Andy Evans, a.k.a. IT, was exactly how I pictured him. A popular, self-centered guy in love with himself.

So, the scene where she's pushed into the car is kind of intense, I understand why they rated it PG-13. And, when I say intense, I mean INTENSE. Like, you're going to be putting your hands over your mouth, trying not to scream. I was whimpering, it was...emotional.
And not in a good way.

So...this movie was great, the acting was pretty good and everything. Um...pretty similar to the book too. Except, the ending to this was a little better in my opinion.

Just a little.

Yep, that's all.

Except, I'll do an age thing here, too.

Okay, it's PG-13 for good reason, im putting on 12+. Because that scene with the car is INTENSE.

Love y'all,
xxNataliexx
