Review: Silmarillion

Author: J.R.R Tolkien  Series:   Silmarillion Publication Date: 1999  Rating: Recomended

Summary: Before the rings,  the silmarils and trees of light were there. Before Sauron, Melkor twisted the elves. The Silmarillion reveals all that was before the rings of power. It shows what happened in the very beginning. The Silmarillion tells all from the Valar's origins, to the tale of Luthien and Beren, to the start of Sauron.

What I liked: This book was great. It explains everything that a reader would want to know after reading Tolkien's Lord of The Rings. The collection of tales residing under the cover are truly magical. The only thing I did not like, were the tales that overlapped some-what. Otherwise, it was amazing!

Summary: Alex Van Helsing is a normal boy, with astonishing abilities. Shortly after he moved to his new school, vampires target the students forcing him to join the Polidorium, a society hunting the vampire city of  Scholomance. Adventures await Alex in "Vampire Rising".
What I liked: Usually I do not like vampire books at all, but this was amazing. Alex's adventures capture you and will keep you on the end of your seat. The thrill of the hunt for the " Scholomance" and the rescue of Alex's friends balance out the vampire sections with action.

Summary:Magic, mystery, and romance shroud the mystical forest known as Wildwood. One little game starts five sisters in Romania on an adventure like no other. Dancing under the full moon brings two forbidden lovers ( one possibly dangerous), one magical toad, and an ancient witch who might just be as evil as stories tell.
