I am an anonymous book worm. I am the person you look for when you have an English assignment and just thinking about reading kills you. My goal is to make you love books, because many believe every book has a stupid message and your teacher makes you talk about how it relates to your life. Wrong! There are many different books and you just have to find the right one. I used to be a person who at just the thought of spending my summer day in my hot stuffy room reading some boring book − even one that’s supposed to touch my heart − wanted to commit suicide. In fact I use to read the first three chapters and for my book report write in detail what happened in the few chapters I read, then copy the rest from the back of the book. Thankfully one of my teachers gave me such a thrilling and mysterious book that I never thought my mother would ever say to me “stop reading!” There are so many genres and unfortunately I feel the teachers don’t explore all. I personally love mysteries, the suspense, the not knowing who did it, but others might love romance, inspirational stories, or even biographies. Some think that books are meant to teach you things, but books are also entertainment; it’s like television in your head that doesn't require electricity or your parents yelling about how high the cable bill is.
You should never rely on movies, because even though the director claims that the movie is just like the book, it’s a lie! One can understand that the director can’t add everything in a two hour movie, but sometimes they remove things that ruin the whole story. Next time when a person says “the book is better than the movie” remember that it's usually true. Take The Hunger Games as an example, when Gary Ross removed Madge from the movie it ruined some events that will happen in the upcoming sequel Catching Fire. I bet people reading this that only saw the movie have no idea what I just said.
For the books I will be reviewing, I am willing to read any type of book, so if there is a book that you want to read but want a know a little more about, just send me the title and the author of the book. Or if you just want to discuss a book you really like, I will be more than willing to read it. I will be reviewing books I personally like, as well as, books from typical school summer reading lists, so when its time to choose a book, you can read the review and choose the book you like best.
