Island of Dr Moreau

The Island of Dr. Moreau is one of the first books by H.G. Wells that I have read. I was not as interested in the stories themselves, but the way he writes is just amazing. They are pretty complex and definitely different from anything else that I have read before. The Island of Dr. Moreau is probably my least favorite. I did not care for most of the characters Edward Prendick encountered, and I thought the experiments Dr. Moreau was performing were quite gruesome. The whole story is just kind of strange. However, I did like the ending and how Edward was able to get back home. If you like Science Fiction and books with strange and different story lines, then I would definitely recommend this one. Personally, I tend to lean towards more realistic books.

The Fellowship of the Ring

Great YA ( young adult ) book. It took me awhile to finish because it's so detailed but very interesting and worth the time it takes to read, with a very complex fictional history to go with it and amusing characters. Cant wait to read book 2.

Messenger

Awesome book! I love that they brought the characters from books 1 and 2 together in the 3rd book. When I was reading the other two books I thought that other than Lowry's great writing they weren't going to have anything to do with each other but they did! I was so happy and surprised. A must read!

In chapter 1 dwarves invaded Bibo's house and had a party in it. Then Thorin came and offered bilbo a job as a thief. He declined it till the next morning. Then he ran out of the house without a pocket kerchinf. And then they got attacked by trolls and bilbo said they all had worms. And they stalled and stalled and stalled until dawn where the trolls turned to stone.
