Another amazing book review!

We received another book review for our summer reading program. If you haven't signed up yet, do so here!

Here is the book review by Reed M.

"In my opinion, the Harry Potter series is one of the most addicting, magical, and superior stories. They're filled with adventure, a long journey, and a battle between good and evil. I feel strong connections with the characters, and I picture everything that's happening as clearly as if I were there. It's fun for the reader, since it seems as though they're being taken along with their adventures.

I really like all the juicy adjectives, and the well thought out word choices. I always laugh at the hilarious similes and connections, and anticipate what's coming next when something interesting happens. I especially enjoy all the magic that takes place throughout the books. Out of the seven, thick volumes, I can't choose which is my favorite. They all have different adventures that tie together in some way. As soon as I pick up one of the books, I can never put them back down. I definitely recommend this series to people who love fiction, magic, adventure, mysteries, and friendship. 

To me, Harry Potter doesn't have to Stay in the pages of a book. I've collected all the movies, and lots of Harry Potter knickknacks. When Universal Studios opened up Harry Potter World, I badly wanted to go. However, it wasn't until much later that I got to see it. I went on all the rides, drank butterbeer, and pumpkin juice, visited all the shops, and bought a wand. The experience made me so excited that even the heat didn't bother me! (The rest of ny family was annoyed with the outrageous heat, but I didn't really feel anything out of excitement.) It was just the thought of being somewhat closer to their world that made me happy enough."

Teen Book Review on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Check out this awesome book review for our summer reading program. Nathaniel completed his left brain challenge with this review! Share yours with us and you can also complete the left brain challenge! Sign up here if you haven't signed up!

Here is the wonderful book review by Nathaniel! 

              Ghost like figures sucking out people’s souls, the forced consumption of poison, and a young blonde boy plotting the assassination of the school headmaster! JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince delivers the Harry Potter series down a darker path as Hogwarts, the beloved school of witchcraft and wizardry, faces corruption from within and a siege of dark wizards. One might call it the maturation of the classic teenage wizarding trio that has transformed a generation as the series transforms from playful and magical to calamitous and wicked. Rowling drops the children’s book standard and brings more serious topics into the series, effectively showing that Harry Potter is more than just reading for youth, but a complex and well developed storyline.

            In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Harry’s 6th year at Hogwarts takes a turn for the worse as his nemesis, Draco Malfoy, brews up something evil that no one can figure out. To add to the confusion, Harry’s nefarious potions master, Snape, appears to be in cahoots with Draco and the dark forces at hand. As the fight against the dark wizards, or Death Eaters, unfolds, Harry and his friends fight to stop Malfoy before the school faces irreversible consequences. Meanwhile, Headmaster Dumbledore continues to secretly go out on journeys to fight the Dark Lord Voldemort’s Horcruxes—magical objects that must be destroyed before death—facing horrible obstacles that deteriorate his health. Not to mention the complex feelings faced by all teenagers as they fall for their peers, which brings a dash of love into the story. The plot bubbles with suspense and keeps the reader on edge, page after page.

            The book effectively serves as a transition from the comical and joyous magical adventures of the early series to the fatal and stern close to the series. Rowling shows that she is more than just a children’s author by adding many dark influences to her series, but manages to keep in touch with her young audience by supplying comic relief through side characters such as the ever clumsy Neville Longbottom. Some may argue that the transformation from children to adults for the main characters is a harsh one, complete with loss of friends and death threats, but this teaches young readers an important lesson: perseverance is key in any situation. Yes, the book serves as a bit of a shock for the Potter fans, but it is a necessary evil. The book is complete with symbolism and metaphors for friendship and hard work, creating a positive influence on the youthful audience and allowing the book to rise above the ranks of other children’s fantasy novels.

Complete with suspense, love, and blight, this book will suck you in and maybe even steal your soul. In addition to the important messages throughout, this book is one of a kind because it supplies a unique dark side to a children’s series. Will Harry be able to stop Malfoy before it is too late? Will Dumbledore find a way to destroy the horcrux before his inevitable death? Read JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to find out! Your life might just take a turn down a dark and twisted path if you don’t!

Check them out HERE!

Also going on until March 31st in The HUB we have a Battle of the Recorded Bands going on! Get more information on that program and others HERE!

To read more about my experience seeing my favorite band H.I.M. perform at JBTV (great to see what it'll be like) Click below!

Alright if you're here you must be very interested in learning more about JBTV.

Here is a short, sweet description from their facebook page.

"Chicago music icon and founder of JBTV, Jerry Bryant, has produced and aired over 3,600 weekly episodes of JBTV since its inception in 1985. In the process, his love for music and determination to introduce overlooked artists to his loyal viewers has twice garnered the coveted Billboard Music Video Award for ´Best Local/Regional Alternative Modern Rock Show´ and multiple Emmy Awards for production.

 Continuously hosting many of the biggest names in modern rock history, including Joey Ramone, Green Day, Billy Corgan, Moby, No Doubt, Pearl Jam, Henry Rollins, and too many others to name, JBTV has become the longest-running source for modern music television in the nation and one of the few remaining examples of Chicago´s proud tradition of local programming."

   Alright now let me tell you about my journey to JBTV.  I made sure to get there annoyingly early. They said be there by 11, I was there at 10. (I was only a little excited)

We meet across the street at MacMall ( an official re-seller of apple products) which was cool. 

Then after what seemed like forever we were finally picked up by a young gentlemen and taken across the street. We were told to take the stairs to the fourth floor. I was very eager and the first up the stairs.

Then we rang a strange little door bell. After being buzzed in I was overwhelmed by the all around awesomeness of the room I found myself in.  Looked something like this with tons of music paraphernalia everywhere! I was dazed trying to read everything on who had been there.

You would need a few hours to take in the whole room (there is a living room area off to the side of this picture)

So there we all were (about 80 of us) waiting as patiently as we could for H.I.M. (a Finnish band, go look them up right now if you don't know who they are) After a few people poking their heads out the door, someone came out and took a picture of us (I'm told it'll be on the bands page soon)

FINALLY we were let in, we were told smaller people up front (I tried my best to obey this and not try to make myself shorter than my 5'11" self). I was right up front, with only one person in front of me! (I tried my best didn't say I succeeded) 

The show was amazing. They played 4 or 5 songs ( I was too excited to keep an accurate count) and it was the best half hour (or so) of my life! I was incredibly close. I can tell you what everyone was wearing, how Ville Valo ties his scarf, how Mige's guitar strap is fraying everywhere and even has duct tape on it. It was just the most amazing thing ever. 

After the show I was able to meet and take a picture with Jerry Bryant himself! I thanked him for this chance to be apart of this. He was very down to earth. 

Then that was it... back to reality in the blinding bright afternoon sunlight. It was a surreal experience, I'm still trying to grasp it. 

AND THEY DO THIS ALL THE TIME!! YOU COULD SEE YOUR FAVORITE BAND JUST LIKE THIS!! WHY WOULDN'T YOU GO?!?!

Anyway here are some picture I took from the show! If you don't know H.I.M. I seriously recommend checking them out!
