I am Legend

I think that the best book I’ve ever read is the sci-fi horror I am Legend.There are so many great things about this book, mainly in the mental health department, but it’s still good. Being the last man on earth forces Robert Neville to live a life of solitude. Because he is condemned to his house he forces himself to live with the pain. Slowly he literally starts to go insane and loses most if not all characteristics of being human. Along the way he finds slight glimmers of hope, like stepping stones back to sanity, but in the end it ultimately leads to his damnation. This book makes me wonder what it must be like to live alone every day, holding on to remnants of the past.At night fear is the only feeling that sinks in, and it sticks with you until the first rays of sunshine appear. Hiding from an infection that already claimed your family, and yet it’s still out to get you. At this moment in your life what would you do?

In this world, every problem is believed to be solved with eight hours of plastic surgery, making people sophisticatedly gorgeous starting at age 15. But Tally’s friend Shay thinks she lives in a messed-up society and runs away into the wild to avoid her surgery. This book made me think about how so many people give too much importance to beauty. I like this book a lot because it’s very hard to put down once you engage with its flashing opinions, as well as its love situations that you can’t help but giggle about. I highly recommend people reading this book. When you’re done done check-out Pretties, Specials, and Extras.

Inkspell
by Cornelia Funke

Inkspell is a sequal to Inkheart. Cornelia Funke has answers about everyone’s questions about wanting to go into a book. It might seem all fun at first, but things are not always what they seem. Even the words on a page of a book can be deceiving.

The main character of Inkspell is Maggie, daughter or Mortimer, a book binder also known as Silvertongue. They both have a very special gift with their voices. They are able to read aloud charcters in books and they come out of the books, but they have no control over who comes out. Just as they thought their family was back together again, two faces from the past show up.

Journey with Maggie and Farid (Farid is a character in another book that Mortimer read out of the book) as they go into a book called Inkheart to warn Dustfinger (main character in the book Inkheart) about the danger awaiting him in his own world. They will meet old faces, and many new ones. As they continue their journey through a never ending story of nightmares, will there finally be a happy ending for the good guys? Or another fatality? Can Maggie’s voice really save the world of Inkheart?
