Book Reviews
This one was really not for me. Maybe reading children stories as an adult isn’t the best thing to do for some people.
I personally found this story to be very boring and uninteresting. I really had hard time reading it because I just couldn’t get into the story.
The story is pretty quick read, but that’s the only good thing about this story for me personally.
The writing style in this one was very generic which every fairytale has.

For over one hundred years The Ugly Duckling has been a childhood favorite, and Jerry Pinkney’s spectacular new adaptation brings it triumphantly to new generations of readers. With keen emotion and fresh vision, the acclaimed artist captures the essence of the tale’s timeless appeal: The journey of the awkward little bird — marching bravely through hecklers, hunters, and cruel seasons — is an unforgettable survival story; this blooming into a graceful swan is a reminder of the patience often necessary to discover true happiness. Splendid watercolors set in the lush countryside bring drama to life.

One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone – 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don’t know. But it changes everything: war, crime, daily life. Tony Valdez is a Dispatcher – a licensed, bonded professional whose job is to humanely dispatch those whose circumstances put them in death’s crosshairs, so they can have a second chance to avoid the reaper. But when a fellow Dispatcher and former friend is apparently kidnapped, Tony learns that there are some things that are worse than death and that some people are ready to do almost anything to avenge a supposed wrong.
This one didn’t go well with me at all.
The premise of this one was very good, but that’s the only good thing about this one.
It was very boring. And it really stretched out for way too long in my opinion. Which resulted in me DNF-ing this one.
The dialogues in this one, were pure torture since they were so flat that they seem like I wasn’t something something to fill up the pages with.
The characters here felt like the same person but just in different clothes. Which really made me don’t like this one even more.
The writing style where was also very bad. The writing style really felt like the author was trying to force you to like this one.

The thrill of a sleepover becomes sheer terror as kids voice their greatest fears into existence in this cheeky, vividly cinematic tale by New York Times bestselling author Edgar Cantero. Lights out. It’s bad enough that its venom-dripping chelicerae can slice through flesh like warm butter. Worse? It’s right there under the bunk. It’s a fact now. To make it through the night, the children must obey the rules: don’t get out of bed, stay out of the shadows, and don’t wake the beast. But as the threats multiply, so do the rules of survival. And with the safety of dawn still hours away, the fun is just beginning.
I need to admit that I didn’t like this one at all.
This one is written from children’s perspective but in a very bad way.
The entire plot here was about some kids having a sleepover and they stat imagining that under their bunks is a giant spider waiting to kill them. Which really feels like it was written by an elementary school student.
The writing style made me feel like it was written for 9 year olds, because it was very simple. Way too simple if you ask me.
However the beginning was good, but it very fast went down hill and it really made me regret using my time on this one.
To be fully honest this one was very ridiculous and I was thinking the entire time “what am I reading?”.

After twenty five years serving as the lone human Monitor of the Interstellar Ark, Hermes, Orion is scheduled to be placed back in his hibernation chamber with the other members of the crew. Knowing that he will die there and be replaced before the ship’s voyage is over, he decides that he won’t accept that fate. Whatever it takes he will escape Hermes and see space again, even if it means defying the regulations of his only friend — the ship-wide artificial intelligence known as Dan.
I didn’t know anything about this one before getting into this one. Which turns out wasn’t so bad things after all.
I am not typically a big fan of Sci-fi but this one really surprised me because I came to like it very much.
The plot in this one was very good, because it was a unique turn on the sci-fi space travel topic which now is very watered down.
The characters in this one were very good, and I came to like them. They were very few characters in this one. But the once we got really made it up for it.
The writing style here was very simple, almost too simple in my opinion. And that’s pretty much the only bad thing I have to say about this one.

“One of you will be hanged, the second imprisoned, the third burned and the fourth turned upside down.” This is how the children mocked the family of storks that lived on the roof. This frightened the chicks and, to reassure them, their mother spoke of the long journey they would soon take. And, who knows, perhaps one day they would have their revenge on the little tyrants who mocked them in their nest.
This one is the first story written by Hans Christian Andersen which ive read. And I gotta say that I loved it.
This story have something unique about it, which really makes it to stand out.
The moral of the story is great but of course I won’t ruin the fun for people who haven’t read this one with spoiler talk.
Some people after reading this short story might say that storks are malicious or evil but the real bad guys in this story are humans as they always are.
This story is very short and can be read in 5 minutes at the very worse.
The writing style here is very easy but at the same its very thick in old English.
