Miki Falls



Miki Falls is a graphic novel series. It's kind of like a love story. It's about two people who want to be together, but someone is trying to seperate them. 

I like it because, even though it's kind of like a love story, it still has a bit of humor. And if you know me well, then you know that I love humor. That's not the only reason I like it though. I also like it because sometimes it zooms in and out on peoples faces to show their expressions and shows how they feel. And that's something you can only do in a graphic novel, or a picture book.

Artemis Fowl

Artemis fowl is a very... sophisticated book.  When I say sophisticated I mean it has lots of hard words.  It's also just a very sophisticated sounding book.  It also has lots of things that you would find in a fairy tale book; sprites, trolls, and more.  It even has items (such as invisibility shields) that couldn't possibly be real.  But what I like most about it is the action.  The action is actually, believe it or not, also sophisticated.  You're probably wondering how that's possible.  Well, all they have to do is put a bunch of weapons in with really weird names, and make the writing as detailed as possible.  And then when you read it, it'll sound sophisticated.  There's also a lot of humor in the book.  And the humor is, you guessed it, sophisticated. So technically, the whole book is sophisticated.

Pendragon, Book Nine, Raven Rise

As you may know, Pendragon is a book that contains lots of violence, a little bit of humor, and depression. But it also has action. Lots of action. Like a whole ton of action. In fact, if I made a list of every action packed part in the book, the list would go on forever (almost). Now, here's an example of something that I would surely put on that list:

At one point in book nine, the main character, Pendragon, is faced with a carnivorous mutant bear-thingy. At first, using it's sharp claws, the mutant bear-thingy makes a big cut in his arm, making him weaker (the wound later caused him to pass out from blood loss). But using his non-injured hand, Pendragon grabs a black magic wand-like weapon, that was lying on the ground nearby, and manages to use it to impale the beast in the eye, and puncture it's brain, making it squeal in pain, and fall down, dead. Pendragon had won the battle! But wait! He wasn't done yet! He walked over to the body of the beast, took the black weapon out of its eye, and plunged it into it's chest, multiple times, just to make sure it was dead.  

So, at least now you know how sick, and disgusting the action is in Pendragon. Actually, I just used that example, because it's probably one of the most disgusting parts in the book, but still. You also now know that, when I said that Pendragon had humor, violence, and all those other things, I forgot to mention that it also had sick, disgusting violence. Oh, and I hope my disgusting descriptions didn't make YOU pass out (LOL).

Pendragon

I think Pendragon is a great book, because it contains a lot of action, and I love action.  It is also very detailed, and descriptive.  It even has a bit of humor.  I'd recommend this book to anyone who can handle a lot of bloody violence, and of course, anyone who enjoys humor.

Usually, whenever I start reading, it's like I start thinking about nothing but what I'm reading. Why?  Well because it's about a regular teen ager, named pendragon, who gets sucked through time, and space, realizing that the future of everything that exists, and ever will exist, rests on his shoulders.  That's why.
