ZooKeeper

I have to say I was not that impressed with the movie. It was not as funny as the previews lead you to believe it is. I thought there were plenty of room for a more comedy and honestly what funny peices they did have kinda fell flat. Adult humor is scattered through out so parental descrestion is wise. Some violence and language through out. No sex scenes but there was some mild sexual humor. I would say this is like Dr. Dolittle or Furry Vengence for adults mainly because the whole plot of the movie may be lost on younger viewers and may at times bore them to sleep. I say go see it form your own thoughts and report back here with your thoughts :)

Happy Movie Watching.

Glass (Crank 2)

Glass by Ellen  Hopkins
How do you review this book with out giving something away? Once again we are following Kristina/Bree through her walk with the monster. Her choices, her love, her loss. This book was beautifully written it doesn't glorify the drug instead it sheds light on the destruction it causes even when the user may think they have it under control. You as the reader can see the downward spiral and yet you feel for the character, you want to like Kristina you hope with every turn of the page that she will make a better choice, the right choice. Does she ever? I like that the characters are hard to peg, are they upfront with who they say they are and what they do or are they just playing a part to get what they want? Just like in real life, just like in Bree's world you never really know what someone else is thinking.
I would recommend this book to older teens. The series so far has had some mature content but it has been tastful and fully in context.
This book (as the other in the series) is written in free verse. Mild sexual content, strong drug content, strong language is used through out the book.
