Watership Down. (Alex TRIED!)

Well, I was really excited for this one but...

OKAY. This was an amazing book but I eventually gave up on it. I love long books, but I just had to stop this one. I was enjoying it a lot and I loved the characters, the stories, and all the adventures the rabbits had, but nearly by the end I thought I just had enough and that it was getting a little bit old. :/

I know this is a classic and I do love classics, but the ending was too predictable and well, I just couldn't read it anymore because I lost my patience on the final battle! LOL. I usually don't do negative reviews, but I tried to be really positive on this one. However, I recommend this book to all animal lovers and country/folk stories. I liked the book a lot and I hope someday I can re-read and appreciate the pages that I left pending. :)

(All above extracted from my GoodReads review.)

Watership Down is a really heartwarming story, I really enjoyed it! I love rabbits, yes, I do, but when I was almost over I had to give up. The plot is great, and so is the writing! It makes me imagine I'm in this pacific field, in a forest... it's lovely. But the book started repeating, repeating, repeating and repeating itself.

My favorite character was Hazel, his leading and cheerful spirit made the book have a positive feeling. The characters are really well developed, and it's interesting to be just a little kid's book. It does have a message, and it's a really good one, although it gets lost in the ending. Animals have feelings too, and they expressed it throug ht his book of the rabbits' necessity to expand their territory. One of my favorite parts is when Bigwig gets into the other rabbit civilization, (what was the name?) to get does for the village. An interesting well developed story for all animal lovers, and adventure ones.

When you first start reading it, you get the worst of the feelings, having really low expectations, but after reading through and getting interested, you eventually start to fall in love with all of the characters. I WANT HAZEL TO BE MY PET RABBIT! In conclusion, this book is an amazing read, great to spend your time and increase your knowledge, also, this gives you time to think about what's going on with the animals nowadays.

Sorry for this late, terrible review. I promise my next one will be better! Now I have extra time for reading and reviewing more books. THANKS FOR VISTING!

I give this book 4.5 cookies.

Evertaster (A book I fell in love with!)

After long hours of search on Amazon, I found "Evertaster". I had really low expectations for the book, but then I realized that I was wrong! This is one of the best books I've ever read in my life and I think that this is one of the best novels for children and teens.

"Evertaster", by Adam Glendon Sidwell, is the story of 11 year old Guster Johnsonville, a boy that finds almost all food prepared by her mother disgusting. After a visit to a french patisserie prepared by her mom (along with Guster's siblings) as the result of Guster's mom's frustration. At the patisserie, some strange events happen. Events that will change Guster's life and that will take the whole Johnsonville into an amazing journey all around the world, in search for a mystical recipe for "The Gastronomy of Peace".

This book has lots of factors that I found quite enjoyable: there was adventure, action, drama, humor... AND IT MADE ME REAAAAL HUNGRY! Adam Glendon Sidwell was really creative and he made a very interesting story that will entertain readers of all ages.

The characters have great personalities, we get to explore the opposite sides of them and... honestly, I fell in love with the characters. Mariah: a geeky smart girl that's encharged of all the research, Zeke: an annoying old sibling that just enjoys bothering Guster and calls him mean nicknames, and Henry Jr: the baby of the family. On their way they travel to many places, like Africa, Norway, Perú... and they make friends... and some enemies too!

I guess my favorite characters were Guster, Mariah, and Felicity Casa: a professional cook that owns a television program which Guster's mom is a huge fan of. Felicity Casa makes many types of things in her shows to help out housewives. Adam sure knew how to place the characters in their stories... I would speak more of Felicity Casa but I just don't want to ruin the book for other readers! LOL :)

All the descriptions of the food made me real hungry. They made my mouth water. I really felt like I was actually eating the ingredients for the Gastronomy of Peace, or just some other dish mentioned in the book. This is a book that will make you real hungry! *short minor spoiler* In one of the final scenes, when Guster tastes the Recipe, I really felt like I was with Guster too! *end of spoilers*

My favorite scenes in the book? Hmmph... that's just a tie between the Africa and Norway scene. I loved them both! I laughed many times with this book, it's just too humorous and a mixture of lots of feelings. Adam Glendon Sidwell is a new author to have on the watch! I expect more interesting novels and books form him, and yes, THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL FOR EVERTASTER!

This is a book that's worth reading, besides, it's cover was amazing, it was one of the things that attracted me to the book. I regret having the lowest expectations for this book because it was really great. This is a book for children, teens, and adults! Everybody will love the book and fall in love with the character's amazing personalities.

Give it a try, because it's really awesome! ;)

An excellent job, I give it five cookies.
