Gulliver’s Travels

gulliverstravels_110So far this is an AMAZING book!!  It’s about a young boy who dreams of traveling the world.  His father says that he has to finish studying to travel.  After his studies have ended he joins this group and they start to travel the seven seas.  One night there is a storm and the boat sinks and only Gulliver survives.  He floats until he washes upon shore.  When he wakes up the next day he finds that he is pinned down.  I have only read up to this point and have to read the rest. So far I would recommend this book to any reader that is interested in adventure fiction.  [sUpPi3do0dl3]

Frankenstein

frankenstein_110So what if you knew the secret to making dead corpses come to life? There’s this guy, Dr. Frankenstein, who knows that secret. So, he’s awfully lonely, and what he basically does is say, “Oh, I’m going to get the parts of corpses and make a human!” Well, that’s exactly what he did, and it wasn’t the best idea. Frankenstein isn’t the best looking guy out there, and Dr. Frankenstein doesn’t want anything to do with him, in fact he sort of hates him. But all Frankenstein wants is love, what’s wrong with that? Well, everyone is afraid of him, and therefore everyone hates him. So (this is a qoute from the book), “If I cannot find love, I will inspire FEAR!” So he’s getting revenge on Dr. Frankenstein for creating him.  [Heather]

Wuthering Heights

wutheringheights_110Wuthering Heights takes place back in the 1800′s. A traveler, Mr. Lockwood, is seeking shelter from the storm outside, so he stops at Wuthering Heights. He notices strange things about that place: how the master, Mr. Heathcliff, is so cruel, how he has a widowed daughter-in-law who he hates, and how in the middle of the night there is a ghost in the room he is in. When Lockwood moves to his new house, Thrushcross Grange, he meets a maid who has worked there since she was a child. It is the maid who unravels the tragic story behind Heathcliff, and the other inhabitants of Wuthering Heights.

I really like this book. It’s amazing how Catherine can be so selfish, and Heathcliff so cruel. Heathcliff ruins the lives of 2 generations with his malignance. It’s a jaw-dropping story that really makes you think.  [Heather]
