Reading Update

Life Update and Shawshank Repetition 

by Stephon King

    
    This week all I've been reading is Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption and while it's really good and I've really been enjoying it, I'm ready to start something new. I want to read The Coward by Stephen Aryan next (I guess it's the month of authors name 'Stephen').
It sounds really good and it's been staring me down every time I walked into a bookstore, so I finally brought it home and am going to start it here soon once school work calms down a little. Personally, I've got some exciting things coming up with graduation and applying to jobs and the whole adulting thing, and hanging with some new friends and some trips coming up with some old ones.
It's getting warmer out so it's safe to say I'll be living my best life.
Well, thats all for this post!  
Enjoy the first day of spring!
:)

Ender's Game vs. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

 Ender's Game and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Orson Scott Card and Gabrielle Zevin Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life. The best you can do is choose to fill the roles given you by good people, by people who love you. On the surface level, Enders Game and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow  have nothing  in common. In fact, the only reason  I even thought about these two books being comparable  was because I read them  one after another, and both had an impact  on me, but I wasn't sure what is was.  Enders Game  is a science fiction novel written in 1985, and is about one boy, Ender, being the only hope for the human race to defeat a war against a bee-like alien species. The training for this was was done through strategy games and fake battles, and training began at 6 years old for Ender.  Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is realistic fiction and about two people coming together and creatin...

What If's

What If's By Ashley The Science Fiction and Fantasy genre's of literature can be hard to describe. They can take place anywhere, in space, under water, virtual realities, or nowhere at all, in some made up place like Middle Earth in Lord of the Rings. One author, Veronica Roth, described it as the genre of "What If's". What if these certain worldly limitations vanished, or what if humanity discovered this new technology, what if something or everything was different, what would it do to humanity. Authors make us these scenarios and let it play out, focusing in on one character living in that "What If", and playing out how they would respond.  Thats what makes this genre so special, there are no rules and authors play gods. For me, the difference between Science Fiction and Fantasy is that in Science Fiction, those "What If's" come from a new discovery, something that someone discovered and explored and it changed the world as we know it.

One Foot in the Fade

 One Foot in the Fade By Luke Arnold You cannot fight for peace. You must give into it. You must let go.   Here we have the third installment of Fetch Phillips adventures, written into existence by Luke Arnold. I have to be honest, for the first two books, in my head, the main characters name was 'Fletch' not 'Fetch', so now that I know the main characters name, I feel like I can give an honest review.  Again, the cover is really cool and this blue is fantastic, but the story itself, not so much. That's not saying it was bad, but just tired and too similar to the other installments in the series. This felt like book number 2, something that just bridges book 1 and book 3, and thats it. It didn't add huge amounts of substance. I feel that this either is leading to the last book, or Arnold is trying to 'Nancy Drew' it and make as many novels in this vein as possible.  It was the same fast paced adventure that the other books had, but some things happened t...
