Book review on 'The Perks of being a Wallflower.'
Now this book was rather odd. That's probably the best word to use for it. I started and finished it today, (since the weather is bad) It's written weirdly but not badly. It is about a boy called Charlie but it's not from his point if view there and then, it's presented as letters he is writing to someone about his life. I think this is a very witty way to set out this book. You also cannot put it down. So I recommend this book to anyone.

Book review on 'Snow White and the Huntsman.'
It was not at all as I expected it to be. It was a depressing, poorly written film. The only reason I had really brought myself to watch it dispute the fact that Kristin Stewart was the lead actress was that I hoped that Chris Hemsworth (who played the huntsman) would be unbelievably sexy in it. Sadly he not at all hot in this film. Whereas San Claflin (WIlliam) played his part extremely well as did Charlize Theron who played the witch. She was extremely beautiful and really set the mood for the film. And then they let Kristin Stewart on the scene. After the disaster of twilight you would've thought Rupert Sanders would have looked else where for a leading woman. Although fair dos to Kristin she didn't play a bad role in this as I was expecting although I'm sure if a prettier, funnier and generally a better actress than her had played Snow White the film would've had a lot more character and a better mood. I can assure everyone I will not go out of my way to watch this film a second time and to be honest I think anyone who buys this film has lost it!

Book review on Remember me Sophie Kinsella
I would describe each page as magic! Funniest book I have read, honestly. The story line was great, the things the charter did was hilarious, the whole thing was amazing! It was another great book by Sophie!
The story is about Lexi who has a really crap life to be honest. she missed out on a bonus at work, her boyfriend stood her up and her dad's funeral is coming up. She then wakes up in a hospital bed having no monody of the past three years off her life. She then meets her gorgeous new husband, is revealed to her new fantasic body and her enormus wardrobe.
This book is great, you get to grow with the charter a lot more then in most books. You uncover about her new life with Lexi. The ending is really gripping and you cannot put it down! I recommend this to all!

Book Review on fallen series by Lauren Kate
I have to say that this is one of those books that should not go on. I am in the middle of the third book and am not enjoying it :/ To be honest it is a load of shit.
The first book was really good I'll giver lauren credit for that, I mean I couldn't put it down, the second one was alright although was a lot like the first one until the end. Now the third one is absolutely shocking!
The first one is about a girl called Luce who moves to a private school or something, she meets Daniel there and they fall in love blah blah blah. It is quite clique I mean they have had past lives together which ended in her dying and Daniel living on for eternity, so not very original but with all do respect the writer wrote it VERY well. The second book is where she has to move somewhere else in order to escape the curse (I'm trying not to give the plot away). The third one is just her watching her past lives with Daniel, it's really boring!
The really annoying thing about the books is that I didn't really understand most of it, and that is the worst thing about dark fantasy is not understanding really what's happening in the book or not following well. This then leads to skipping pages and then when you actually finish the book it's not so great. In the second book I was completely confused because Lauren introduced these new charters called Announcers
or something and the whole thing went upside down from there.
I'd recommend this book to people who like either the immortals series, twilight or the vampire diaries otherwise I wouldn't bother :)

Book Review on 'The Undomestic Goddess' by Sophie Kinsella.
I've always been more of a dark fantasy reader, but my mum recently gave me this book to read saying I would laugh out loud, and boy did I. I absolutely loved it. The whole concept of the book was amazing! The story line was fascinate and you couldn't really predict what was going to happen next! (Which is the best thing about reading, is not being able to guess what's going to happen).
The book is about Samantha Sweeting, she is a top lawyer and is an absolute workaholic. She is so close to getting a partnership in her law firm when she makes a huge mistake. She runs away and finds herself working as a housewife in someone's home. The only problem is, she can't even cook. It's bloody hysterical and I recomend it to anyone!
One of the best things about this book and others that I have read by Sophie is that you can relate to her charters, they do some pretty embarrassing things, as in 'The Undomestic Goddess' as she tries to do a job that she was just not meant to do. Also they have a little romance in them, well in this book quite a lot. :)
I ill be doing some more reviews on her books in the next week and I will also be looking at some dark fanatsy books I've read!

Film Review on Twilight.
Twilight is everything that is wrong with this world.
Now do not think I am just being unfair, because before I learnt more about perves and paedophiles I used to be OBSESSED with Twilight. All I would think out was twilight, twilight, twilight. But now I really understand why people hate it so much. Firstly it sends the message that if a boy (Whom is a vampire) Has been stalking you, and breaking into your house and watching you sleep. Any sane girl who had found out a guy was doing that would beat the crap out of him. Secondly girls think that boys are going to prefer them if they are dull and boring and people don't usually notice them, honestly if a hot vampire guy was coming to our school he would not look at the boring girls, his eyes would turn to the skinny, little perfect girls. I actually know some girls who are waiting for some tall dark handsome boy to start talking to them and turn out to be something supernatural. The whole concept of twilight is based on a sick twisted story. Yes some people think it is completely romantic and a beautiful story, but look at this logically, He watches her sleep, James is filming her bas he tries to murder her. Jacob falls in love with a flipping baby, it is what makes this world bad.
Sorry for being so blunt but just had to point it out

I love music, I literally love all types of music!
I listen to My Chemical Romance and then I'd listen to sounds for Phantom of the Opera and Les Mis. I have now only realised the music is really my life.I play the flute and I am in several orchestras but we don't really play that good of music, I mean in one we are playing pirates of the Caribbean and it sounds AWESOME. But I really want to do some more things with music. Some of my friends which are boys are in a band and they have literally taught themselves how to play guitar. It is so cool how they listen to a song see how it goes and play from there, whereas with the flute you need sheet music to play a song. Although my favourite songs at this moment in time are probably: Teenagers-My Chemical Romance
The Phantom of the Opera- The phantom of the opera
Memories-Cats
Sweet Child O' Mine-Guns 'N' Roses
Beautiful - One Direction
With or Without you- U2
I dreamed a Dream- Les Miserables
Greenday- Time of your life
The Killers-Mr Brightside
The Killers-Somebody told me
One- U2
Wonderwall-Oasis
If you haven't heard these I recommend them!!
