13 Reasons Why

********Trigger warning I think: This review has lots of mention of suicide, please don’t read if this may cause you harm and remember that you can always call this number for help. SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE:[phone], or 988***************

Who ordered the angst? Because I sure as hell didn’t, but yet there I was crying on the bus next to my classmates and teacher. Shout out to my History and maths profs for not saying anything or asking any questions. Love you for that one. So just for context I go on trips sometimes whether with my family or friends and if you haven't noticed I like to read. So I went to the library and picked up a shit ton of books and I realized that even though it is iconic and I basically have grown up with “ WhAt If ThIs WaS My 13th ReASoN?” ingrained in my head, I have never read this book. So going on a trip with my very catholic friends and reading this right next to them seemed like a perfectly splendid idea. So here I am, making a review that I think might just be interesting and if you don’t like the teen angst era that I am currently going through it’s okay because I swear that better stuff is coming because like I said before I picked up a shit ton of books and finished them all.

So first my personal favorite part, a wee summary: Clay Jensen ( I know douchebag name ) receives a package on his front porch with tapes inside them that are marked with blue nail polish. He plays the first one and realizes that they were narrated and created by his late classmate and crush Hannah Baker, the girl that killed herself and left the rest of their small town in dismay with a handful of pills. The only reason that he knows that they were supposed to get to him was a map that was slipped into his locker a few days before her suicide. He follows the map, listens to the tapes and finds out who others, friends, and even who he was to Hannah Baker and why he was one of her 13 reasons why……

Ominous right! I thought so too so I read it and man it is not lacking in the angst section. Now I have heard that this fandom was tragic and that a lot of people have found this story very hard to swallow, however I was left trying to rack my head as to why. Then I found out it was because they were watching the series on Netflix which in my personal opinion IS TRASH. I mean don’t get me wrong I think that the actors are amazing and once again iconic. But like the storyline is sooo bad, like almost as bad as ‘HALLOWEEN ENDS’ and if you've seen that then you know how bad that was. And the worst part is that I get it there really wasn’t enough content to make a full series so just make it into a movie. Though it did give me a small sense of happiness knowing that me and Hannah Baker had the same weird pink silicone thing that everyone bought to cover their keyboards. Getting back on track though I think that one of the main problems in this Netflix series is that there was no point that made me physically sick, or clammy, or afraid. The series is still heart wrenching but it’s not heart wrenching you know? Like in the book there were some parts that I was afraid to keep reading because it might have been slightly more personal than it already was. And by personal I mean it at some parts felt like I was prying into someone else's life or rather their death.

In reality I think that Hannah Baker had the potential to be a great protagonist and in the book she was, but in the execution of the Netflix drama it left much to be desired. I think that Clay was meh, I get why he was the character that the author wrote the book’s POV from but he is just as awkward teen boy that you are picturing in your head. Which is fine, just fine. I think that book could be a great thing for many but just some things to remember. If you think that you are not ready to read this book and the topics that it discusses. I recommend looking the book up on commonsense media beforehand even if you do think that you can handle it. Secondly, know that this book will have an effect on you so be ready and please take care of yourselves. I mean it, don’t make me go all serious on you all. Okay I’m done sorry for getting all momma bear there at the end but drink the water, do the sleep, and read! Love you guys and I have more stuff coming soon.

13 Reasons Why

[nemisis09]

Of Mice and Men

 I thought that I might bring a little culture to this page in the form of one of the saddest books I have ever read. So spoiler I guess but don't read this if you don’t want to be sad. And just so that I get this all out of my system this book isn't the crying, sobbing, can't get out of a reading depression, no no the kind of sad where I CAN NOT stop thinking about it. 

 Okay so super quick synopsis: George and Lennie are cousins in the 1930′s traveling as migrant workers. They finally come across a farm that they were looking for. George is the more social and cunning of the two, he takes care of Lennie and gets him jobs. Lennie is kind of slow and very childish, not in a churlish of mean way but rather nervous and unknowing of what he does. Lennie is also very strong and burly, and this doesn't always mix well with the fact that he very much likes to touch pretty things. 

 Now this story isn't the best out of all the classic books that I have read. Bold ass statement I know however it does fall into the category of classic books that I really like some books (cough cough) To Kill a Mocking Bird, The Scarlett Ibis, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry(cough cough). But it also had an almost open ended feel, almost like a game of Animal Crossings. BUT THEN it also amazes me because   it’s such a well known book and it’s only seven chapters... SEVEN CHAPTERS. 105 pages that hold some of the most well known words in theater, writing, and just general education. It is amazing and fast but at the same time all of the pain and wholesomeness all accumulate at the same time and the reader doesn't even notice it until the end of the book. 

 I really don't wasn't to spoil anything and or ruin the book for anyone, (pause), HOWEVER this book does come with a lot of warnings; 1) strong use of a lot of questionable word, I personally am one to believe that it is era writing which doesn't make it okay but the author was trying to give the reader a authentic experience of their vision, but hey I get it to each their own. 2) It is very disturbing, not in a horror or mystery but rather just disturbing. and lastly #3 PLEASE DO NOT FORM A OPINION BEFORE READING IT, yes I am aware that this is a book review yes I am aware that reading this but you should not judge this book by what other people say about it. 

 I had a lot of people tell me about the book and NONE of them had the same thoughts on it, and I don't share their opinions either so please give this book a chance and if you like it great! And if you don't then at least you can say you read a classic book! Thanks for reading, Book 7/10 and yes I know this review is short but the books is short and so am I sooooooo see you next time.

Red, White, and Royal Blue

OK so I have to rewrite this because I deleted my first draft which is absolutely fantastic but we’re going to skip over that for now Duck I’m officially succumb to the media and the lovely recanting of books, and they have yet again been able to persuade me from my natural instinct of just walking around randomly at my local library, and picking up different books. However since my mother called me and said that she had an audiobook credit that was about to expire I decide to take my chance with this book. And to say the least the red white and royal blue is parentheses how did the kids say worth the hype. First of all to start quick synopsis original synopsis. First son Alex on the steadfast course to being the youngest congressman of US history is also on a steadfast course to being mortal enemies with young English playboy Henry. But with neither of them counts into the equation is, feelings stupid stupid feelings. But they also don’t count in it Family countries and what seems to be the whole world being out for them. OK now that is over let me tell you this Hass to be one of the most fantastic books I’ve ever read. But before I get into that I would like to put out a general PSA on the fact that I hate all and I mean all audible books, even audiobooks. I don’t know where it stems from I don’t have ADHD I don’t have any kind of problem that would make me ever lose focus even when I am enjoying a book however when it comes to me and audiobooks they have a personal reputation with myself notorious if you will of being dreadful and terribly boring to listen to I have absolutely no idea what’s going on ever. Even back to the time that my aunt would listen to them in the car will drive me places yes I know terribly unsafe but she was an ERnurse and I am completely still alive, but anyway back to the book this book is amazing but not for the reason either of the other books that I reviewed before were great but rather because this book was like reading a Wattpad fanfiction, except for it wasn’t fanfiction it was real it was actual characters that I could admire and relate to it was representation at the finest it was fluff and smart and spicy and cute at the same time and I cannot even begin to describe the amount of passion within this book. I’ve never been a big believer of love and shocking I know not like other girls aesthetic if you will but from now till the time I was five I would always tell people that I only thought that you love existed  in books or fairytales, but this story it was truly and completely a love story proving that love can conquer overall Iraq quickly and lovely all at the same time. Anyway now that we’re done with that cheesy trash I would just like to say that this book made me feel warm and almost, almost bubbly, but not quite and nonetheless the writing, a storyline, and overall inclusion that this book tells is enough to make me want to read it forever and to see the story of Alex and Henry continue forever. 

* Also I severely apologize for this tremendously because I deleted the best draft I have ever written and I am so tired because it is one am here but I needed to produce something so here have this I might remake this and make it better but I don't know yet so yeah. Go drink some water, do your homework and listen to your mom. Good night kids

Where the Crawdads Sing

Okay I know how it sounds, but at the time it was random. SO if you like ya know don't live under a rock and enjoy books, well then you know that Where the Crawdads sing is now a (*ahem* imagine radio voice) Major Motion Picture! And in honor of this I reread the book.... and then I went to see the movie..... and it doesn’t hold a candle. Back before the world was shut down my mother was part of a Facebook book club and on a trip to Virginia she read the book and proclaimed it to be one of the best things that she's ever read, and made my dad read it and in quick secession myself. And while a great piece of literature, the movie does not fully account for how amazing this book is. Before I start as per usual my quick synopsis, Cathrine Danielle Clark, (Kya) is know as the marsh girl in her town and rejected by the people of Barkley Cove, North Carolina. She is abandoned by everyone in her family one by one and with an abusive and neglectful father she realizes that she needs to fend for herself, very young. Over the years she slowly falls in and out of love and learns trust from all forms of life and nature. However in 1969 and the age of 25 she is accused of first degree murder. Now that is all I can give you because I honestly can't write anymore without giving the whole plot away. So with that let us talk about it yes? This story is to say the least a compelling one, it gives a very sad melody but a persistent tune. Kya struggles with the idea that she's not enough to stick around for, and I guess that on some level one way or another we've all felt that way before. Kya is naive and always says that she is never going to let her self get hurt again, BUT THEN ALWAYS DOES! And I feel as though the movie did Jumpin dirty, because he and Mabel had such a big impact on Kya’s character development, and most of her actions. All and all a good movie, but if you really want to see and appreciate the story in all of its glory and beauty then please read the book.

Margo Roth Spigelman, Paper Towns

[nemisis09]

Paper towns

Paper towns Is truly a John Green novel. It has Love, mystery, hormones and Most importantly Teenage angst. Now I am a Teenager and love me some Angst, but to go along with this review I also Have a Small story about this book. When I was nine I picked up Paper Towns in My library because I thought that the Name Margo sounded pretty interesting, because fun fact I am More likely to read books where Main characters hav Names that I’ve never heard of. So I pick up this book and read the description I think ‘yes this Is what I want to Spend my summer Wednesday doing, so I check it Out and start reading and I absolutely Loved it. So I bring it to some of the errands that my Mom has to run and after a day of me Having the book she looked it up On Common Sense Media and read something on there and decided that I was not old enough to read it, ( not her not knowing that I Had Wattpad on my phone) so I didn’t finish it and forgot about the Book completely except For the random thought of what Was sooooo bad about that book That I couldn't even finish the first part. That is until a month ago when I was wondering what to Read on vacation and I thought well huh I could probably finish that book now that I’ve read and seen much worse online. So many years, and three John Green books later I finally got to finish the Novel that Is Paper Towns. Soooo any who back To the review the book is Amazing and I stand by what I said earlier it truly is a John Green novel. If you don’t know John Green is a teacher and makes educational videos on YouTube and writes books For teenagers who feel...... not Like other Teens. The novel Follows Quinten Jacobsen (Q), an eighteen year old student in his last month of high school. In this time Q’s childhood Bestfriend  Margo Roth Spigelman climbs into his window after years of not Having Any contact with him and says that she needs a ride. After an eleven part plan and the wildest night of Q’s life he goes to bed for an hour then wakes up only to discover that Margo has gone missing. He follows clues that he thinks that she left for him and it's up to him to find her, Wherever she may be. Now that my Synopsis is over, I can get into My opinion on this book. With witty best friends, horrible romance decisions and a Mind bending puzzle, going back and forth between Theory's and indecision, this book is trulyCaptivating and draws the reader in with realistic Adaptations of teenage thoughts and actions. I mean really there is no difference between me and Margo except for the fact that she is breaking into Sea-World and I and reading about a girl Breaking into Sea-World with the world’s biggest Simp (she types sarcasm lacing her words). In reading this book I absolutely had toTry to decipher what was so bad in that Common Sense Media comment box that Made her so turned off to me reading to and I have still come a standstill. I currently have a theory and that is that there is a mention Of someone having a Micro-Penis (not telling who) or the brief innuendo fo someone giving a blow job. All this aside I think that This is a fine book and could probably be given to an internet exposed eleven year old. John Green has created a beautiful Collection of brain rot and enamored his Audience of 15 year old girls trying to be different and failing horrendously, But getting a great read out Of it. 9/10 would read again.

Daughters of Sparta

If you are a lover Of Greek mythology, ancient history, or even just Percy Jackson than Daughters of Sparta is just the quick read for you, and I say quick read because I read this book while on vacation and finished this in a day and a half. This book follows the lives of sisters Klytemnestra ( Nestra oldest daughter of Queen Leda and King Tyndareus, also original heir of Sparta) and Helen, as they navigate marriage, motherhood and having to grow up rapidly and in a king’s world. The author Claire Heywood is a historian and truly a incredible writer as she not only make you eager to flip the page but also ready fo her next book going in February of 2023. For lovers of The Song of Achilles this book holds the same kind of historical magic that floats on the pages of Madeline Miller’s novel. With each chapter you can feel the Love, betrayal, and utter hatred for each character's pain and story. Alike to the afore mentioned stories each moment in these stories you can feel the characters coming to life in ways that they haven't been connected to in thousands of tellings of this story that have always been portrayed as man against man for the love of the most beautiful woman in Ancient Greece, into a realistic more personal story about tough decisions and heartfelt tragedies. While this book may be better suited for  adults and teens comfortable with the description of risqué acts. All of this being said this is definitely on of the best books of this genre, a great read, and. a fantastic debut book of author Heywood and as I said earlier I can’t wait for her up coming book on Perseus.
