PERSONAL REVIEWS

Another masterstroke by J.K .I really can’t believe how one can make a totally new world?!I  really enjoyed the book a lot and couldn’t keep the book down. I was totally mesmerized by the book and wished I just got to know what was going to happen next. The characters are really amazing and our protagonist has been shown simple not some hero pre-loaded with a lot of powers. I would rate the book 5 stars out of 5.

At the beginning of the novel, Harry Potter is living in a cupboard under the stairs, suffering appalling maltreatment at the hands of the Dursley family, to whose care he was confided as an infant following the death of his parents; his mother was Mrs. Dursley’s sister. On his eleventh birthday, however, it is revealed to him, despite the Dursleys’ best efforts, that he has inherited magical abilities and is scheduled for education in wizardry at Hogwarts Academy, a key pillar of the British magical community, which lives in strict covert isolation from untalented “muggles.”

He finds that his reputation has preceded him to Hogwarts. While still preconscious in his cradle, he survived a magical assault by the infamous dark wizard Voldemort. He makes two more firm friends in the bookish Hermione Granger and the hapless but willing Ron Weasley.
Initially, the only strong evidence of Harry’s talent is provided on the sports field, where he becomes an expert player of quidditch, a game played on flying broomsticks. Voldemort, however, is in hiding at Hogwarts, beginning to recover his powers and enthusiastic to get rid of his nemesis.
So will Harry survive his first year at Hogwarts?

PERSONAL REVIEWS

Hats off  to JK Rowling for this amazing book. She has created a totally new world in this book and that really is a tedious task. The book has an amazing starting and has suspense and turns at every page. I really loved reading the book and was really delighted to read the i.e. would really suggest each and every person in this world to read the book. Read the book first and then watch the movie as a book is always better than a movie.

Summary

Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers.

One day, he’s tracked down by a man he’s never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. The man tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god.

The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.

When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision.

Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . . 

Personal Reviews

Ok another book on gods but this time Norse!! Really can't believe there are so many types of gods of different civilizations. Moving on I really like the plot of the book and the story is well written. But I am angry too as to write this book Rick poorly wrote the ending of blood of Olympus. Well you have to lose something for a gain and this is just a perfect book. The life of Magnus has a nice start but what one expects is the hero of a book lives, but in this book our hero dies in the first 50 pages of the book!!!

It's a really nice way to keep your readers to stick to the book, but serious protagonist of book dies so soon and he has so many books to be published in. For the early death and interesting plot of the book I rate it 5 stars out of 5.

His books have been translated into 37 languages and sold more than 30 million copies.Twentieth Century Fox has adapted the first two books of his Percy Jackson series as part of a series of films.

SUMMARY
The seven demigods continue their journey through Greece.They learn that the Giant's army does not plan to invade Mount Olympus as expected, but the Acropolis in Athens, where most of them have gathered. Since the Gulf of Corinth is heavily fortified and guarded by the Giant's army, the demigods have no choice but to circle the whole Peloponnese to reach Athens. On the other hand, Reyna, nico and coach hedge are on their way to Camp Halfblood with the Athena Parthenos as a symbol of peace between the Greek and Roman camps. But they don't know that an expert hunter is on their tail....
Will they be able to return the Athena Parthenos and will the SEVEN be able to stop the Giants from waking Gaia?....

MY REVIEW
Well I had pretty high expectations for this book as all the others had been amazing, but this book didn't live up to its hype. I think Rick got too engrossed in his new series of Vikings that he didn't give much thought to this ending. The ending is simply disastrous and one can easily understand that the author was in a hurry to finish this series...
I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.

What WICKED doesn’t know is that Thomas remembers far more than they think. And it’s enough to prove that he can’t believe a word of what they say.
The truth will be terrifying.
Thomas beat the Maze. He survived the Scorch. He’ll risk anything to save his friends. But the truth might be what ends it all. 
Tough times are head, losing friends, getting hurt and finally knowing the truth.

PERSONAL REVIEWS
The book is really amazing and it has really been well written. Every emotion has been mixed by James in the final installment of the Maze Runner Trilogy. There is action, drama, less romance but yes there is some. The book has some really interesting parts which really makes us stick to the book and continue further. After so many tests the final part and the epilogue is really fantastic.
I rate the book 5 out of  5.

Well according to me, this book has been a blockbuster. It has all the right amount of romance, drama, action and comedy mixed into it. I was glued onto it from the beginning and it kept me in the edge of the seat every time..... However I just didn't like one thing.... That was the names... Like who names a boy a Peeta!!For a Hindi knowing person the name is damn comical But then also I would like to give a 4.75 rating.
