MAUS

Well Ms.Faughey recommended that I read this comic book like book called Maus for my next IR book. Seems really cool, and once again, is written in a really unique style. Comics are generally funner to read than regular books, so I probably wont be getting to bored, and right now the story seems pretty good. The son of a Jewish person in WW2 gets the story of his fathers experience in Europe... and the whole story is told through mice, pretty cool imo.

NO ALICE NOOOO

Well im finished with the book now, pretty dissapointed with the ending, could have been a lot more to it, but supposedly it was a true story... NOT. I was reading a story online about how they found out the author made it all up or something like that, this makes me not like the story... I feel almost like I've been lied to. This whole story now seems like it was just another, average run of the mill drama story, about a drug addict, it now has nothing special to set it apart. Being a true story made it seem real and cool, now its pretty eh... btw the whole, Her parents came home and found her dead thing sucked... way to short and an easy way out of concluding the MADE UP story

Druggies Make Me MAAAAD

Ok so Alice tries pot at her friends house... thats cool I guess, tries it once or twice, nearly everyone has/will. Pot isnt addictive, but no she wants it baaaad. She likes getting high and the state of euphoria she gets put in when she tries it. Then the whole pot trip shes on turns into a flat out drug addict problem. She wants all kinds of drugs now, acid, pot, whatever you could thing of, she wants. She also tries random things just to get high, kinda reminds me of the South Park where everyones Cheezin and Kenny sniffs flowers to get high at the end just because hes desperate for another trip. Make meh sick.

Go Ask Alice

Well my friend recommended me this book, Go Ask Alice, so i figured I'd give it a try. I was skeptical at first solely because of the name... sounds like a real girly book, but when he (James) showed me it, it looked pretty cool. I Like how it was written in the form of a diary (supposedly a real diary), so it gives it a real personal feel, not like its all somone's made up adventure story. From what ive read so far, the books going pretty fast, mostly because of how its broken up thanks to its Diary setup... and the fact that the book is pretty good makes it go by fast too i guess

Finally Finished

Well i finally finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I must say, for once I enjoyed the book more than the movie. I really think i enjoyed it because I could just picture the characters and events here differently than they were in the movie, yet still get the same idea from a scene. Some parts of the movie were pretty boring (snow place), but just imagining these scenarios in different ways can make them seem a LOT cooler. Who doesn't like altering the way something is and including their own fantasy world?
