Night review

What a treat I decided to do another review and once again the novel was a tenth grade reading assignment. I remember reading Night by Elie Wiesel crying my eyes out when I got finish with the novel because of the rich texture of the novel. Remembering how sad I felt after finishing the novel and I wept at how we can allow something as horrid as the holocaust. After reading, I just had to find more information about World War two. A must read for anyone and everyone that needs to read the horrid of what happen. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

The Count of Monte Cristo Review

Another review and another day what surprise is a surprise. Suggested in my first post I am trying to upload all of my reviews from goodreads so, that the people can be able to receive the review in twice as many place as possible. I don't know if I will try to upload to separate reviews for each site, one review only upload to both sites or just upload a review to the blog. I eventually will run out of review, but I am going to upload reviews on a semi regular bases when I am done with the backlog. What I am thinking about reviewing wise is that I will post on the blog first, then after a month I will post the same review on goodreads maybe even alter the text a little bit.

Now for today's book review which was a summer reading assignment back in tenth grade even though I didn't take that English class because I was a point away from the qualification. The novel by Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo, was not bad summer reading assignment. Edmund Dantes accused of a crime he didn't committed and then he seeks the revenge for his false imprisonment. No wonder a movie was made of this novel because the background of the story just screams movie idea, but then again most movies always are based on some piece of literature. This novel made be huge, but don't let that scare you the pages will fly faster than what you think. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Lost Year of Merlin series/author review

For all those Harry Potter lovers, here is series about the one and only Merlin. King Arthur's most trusted adviser. Similar in regard to the television show this follows the life of the great sorcerer in his younger days.  That is when the two medium will defers because in the show Arthur is involve while this novel have the young sorcerer learning how to be great in a fantasy setting. The way the author, T.A. Barron, describes the scene before in each and every novel about the subject of Merlin is richly magical. The author will have you reaping about characters you fall in love with and wanting the novel to continue long after you put the book down and end the series. This different view on the tale of Merlin and the Arthurian Legend is a great read for young and old alike to get people into reading more often than not. After reading the first in the series, you are hook for the long haul. The second installment in the series is better than the first with more adventure, new friends and Merlin learning to see not with his eyes, but with his heart.

Oliver Twist Review

Some of these review will be on my Goodreads, but I figure that the more its out there the more people will read it. I also realize that some of the books that I am reviewing are quite old because I haven't read in years so, the review might actually be uninteresting and short. To rectify not reading the novel in years I might institute a feature on the blog called reread Wednesday or reread Week; where the reader will have to reread a novel and give another review on the topic to see if there view had changed.

I remembered reading Oliver Twist in sixth or seventh grade it was my first, but not my last Charles Dickens novel. Oliver Twist, in both movie and book, is a classic coming of age story and self-discovery. Young Twist has to learn to live on the streets, but later find himself in the hustle and bustle of London. This story would have you laughing and crying joyfully while you read the novel.
