The Awakening and The Struggle

     After realizing that I loved the TV series of The Vampire Diaries I decided that I might as well try out the books. The book took me by surprise though and toke a different approach towards the plot. In the first book, Elena begins to meet Stefan, who, in the beginning of the book is very quiet and tries to avoid seeing or being anywhere near Elena for one major reason...he's a vampire.
     Most of these stories tend to be about a girl who is really beautiful and doesn't really know yet; Elena though knows that she is the person that every girl wants to be and every guy wishes was his and is actually quite ego-full. When Stefan shows up she is utterly surprised when he seems to pay no attention to Elena and basically ignores her after the multiple attempts Elena shows to get his attention. Elena then begins to have her friends Bonnie, who is sure that she is psychic(later on actually becoming a witch) and Meredith help her to make an extravagant plan to make Stefan hers. In the process of doing so Elena figures out what and who Stefan really is.
     While Elena is scheming the perfect plan to make Stefan hers, Mystic Falls is having odd events occur. Reports of people lying dead with their throats ripped out start to appear all around the town and Stefan is being spotted at each crime seen. As Stefan battles with the constant accusations, he starts to believe he could actually be the killer. Stefan though is a "vegetarian" with blood. He tries to be the kind gentle vampire (or however much he can be) and soon begins to worry that he has lost control and become the ripper he has tried so hard not to be.
     During all the attacks in Mystic Falls Stefan comes to the awful realization that his brother Damon is in town that then leads to Stefan relizing that Damon is the true killer of all the people killed in Mystic Falls that the press says are "animal attacks". Damon unlike Stefan is a full on vampire who chose to feed on humans and take advantage of what he is. Now, the battle begins of stopping Damon.

For this book I gave a 5 out of 5 Stars. I absolutely love this book and this series. Also, if you enjoy this book be sure to check out the TV series on cwtv network. Also, be sure to read the rest of the series by L.J. Smith. Also check out the preview for season one on youtube.

Hunger Games Part2

Going along with my last post here is a YouTube clip showing a preview for The Hunger Games movie that was released in 2012. Also soon to be released is the following movie of the series based off the book Catching Fire.

 

New Book: The Hunger Games

      Currently I am reading the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. In this book the main character Katniss Everdeen faces an extremely difficult conflict: risking her life or her sisters.
     This all began at Katniss's districts reaping. At the reaping a boy and girl between the ages of 12 and 18 are chosen as tribute in The Hunger Games, which are, (An arena is a large, enclosed, outdoor area where the Hunger Games are held each year. Arenas are designed by the Gamemakers and a new one is built every year. It could be a dense forest or a freezing wasteland. The Gamemakers plant traps and cunning ideas into the arena, to entertain the people of Panem. All arenas have a Cornucopia, where the tributes launch into the arena to begin the Games. Also all the arenas have force fields around the arenas that bounce back anything that hits it. Over the years a few tributes have used it as a weapon. The arenas were considered important historical landmarks, and were preserved after the conclusion of the Games. The arenas were also a popular tourist destination for many Capitol citizens, who would spend months' vacation visiting the arena from their favorite games, where they would be able to rewatch the Games, visit the sites of the deaths and even take part in reenactments. After the end of the war, all the arenas were destroyed, and memorials to the hundreds of teenagers killed within their confines were constructed in their place.) After her sister sister is chosen as tribute Katniss faces the decision of risking her life for her sisters. Faced with the decision, Katniss volunteers as tribute in place of her sister and is rushed off to the train to take her to the capital city, Panem.
