Summer, Summer, Time Is Here!!!!!

 in Books / Movies by

Summer time is once again upon us. And do you know what summer mean for me. Well of course you don’t so that is why I am going to tell you. Summer time mean swimming, summer homework, being with friends (if they are around), going on holiday, and best of all reading as many books as I want. Oh and watching lots of movies too. But it also mean more blogging time and more posts for my fellow readers.

One thing that I thought of doing was to do a lot of books to movies this summer. As my readers will have a lot of time off, you can read the book and then enjoy the movie afterward. And my suggestion is that you always read the books first because the movies are sometimes different and/or edited. I personally find that watching the movie before I read the book is not that good because you expect one thing from the book but you get something different. That is just my advice.

Some of the books to movies that you can watch out for are….

The Chronicles of Narnia
The Golden Compass
Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter
Alex Rider
and many others.

Hope that you will enjoy the books and movies that I am going to review.

Dark River (Warriors: Power of Three Series #2) by Erin Hunter

Summary

* From HarperCollins.com

The three children of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, grandchildren of the great leader Firestar, have thrived in their apprenticeships: Lionpaw’s strength and energy serve him well as a warrior in training, Hollypaw hones her understanding of the warrior code, and Jaypaw explores his mysterious powers and connection to StarClan as the medicine cat apprentice.

With more experience comes both power and danger: Lionpaw makes a friendship—and a discovery—that must be kept hidden; Jaypaw learns a secret that could benefit ThunderClan by damaging others; and Hollypaw knows something that could avert a battle, if she could convince the rest of her Clan.

The three are torn apart as each discovers darkness: in themselves, in the Clans, and in the past. And, as conflict begins over what it means to be a warrior, rising tensions threaten to overflow, washing away the peace that has existed for many moons.

Review

This was an interesting book. It had a lot of suspense and it seemed like this book was based around Jaypaw and Lionpaw. There is just one more thing I will tell you about the book.

There is a possible deadly friendship that could ruin 1 or 2 clans.

But I cannot tell you anymore because otherwise I would give the whole book away.
