Jurassic Park
by
Michael Crichton
Mangacraze16
, November 12, 2010
Welcome to Jurassic Park. The small island off the coast of Costa Rico, Isla Nublar, the small island where John Hammond and InGen embarked on a mission to bring Dinosaurs back to life for the amusement of the public. And they succeeded. Now all of the terrors of our childhoods have come to life, and they are uncontrollable, but no one knows that yet, for they are locked in electrical fences that cover 98% of the island. But something is getting off the island. . . Children have been dying from strange bites that infect and then kill. And a man was brought in from an island with teeth and claw marks all over, he died two minutes after they brought him in. Enter Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm, a paleontologist, a botanist, and a mathematician. They have been invited to the island to confirm that it should not be shut down. They agree, and they go. When they get there they go on the tour with Hammond's grandchildren. And everything goes wrong. A greedy computer programmer turns the security off in the park, including the electric fences. The T-Rex gets out and wreaks havoc. Then the raptors get out, and the terror really begins. Welcome to Jurassic Park. . . The book makes it seem very believable, the first half of the book isn't even that thrilling, it's like the author wants you to know that something like that could be happening right now. He, Michael Crichton, writes this book very scientifically, it very easy to believe that dinosaurs will come back. It is much more descriptive and bloody than the movie, though. And it is also extremely frightening, the author is a master at describing fear. I think that this book is one of Michael Crichton's best. It take you places you never dreamed you'd go, and places you would never want to visit even in your worst nightmare. Warning: mild swearing, vivid descriptions of pain and death, recommended for ages 14+

Prey
by
Michael Crichton

He tells it like it is. He doesn't spare the reader's sensitivity. It is an amazing thriller. But frightening, I couldn't read this book at night. Warning: Profuse amounts of swearing, f-word used like sprinkles on a cupcake. If you can't deal with swearing and nano particles, this book is not for you, but if you can deal, read it! It is amazing!

Wicked Lovely 01
by
Melissa Marr
Mangacraze16
, November 10, 2010
This book is dark, dangerous, and beautiful, I would recommend it to everyone except for younger people. This book is really for thirteen and older, give or take the readers innocence. :) If you love dark, eerie, captivating, faerie stories, this is for you. There is innuendo, some sexual tension, and one or two intimate scenes. However, Melissa Marr does not go into any detail, you just know it happened. There is swearing, but it's minimal. I highly recommend this book.

The Fellowship Of The Ring: The Lord of the Rings 1
by
J R R Tolkien
Mangacraze16
, November 10, 2010
C.S Lewis said: "Here [are] beauties which pierce like swords or burn like cold iron. Here is a book which will break your heart." He was right. 'The fellowship of the ring' is one of the most beautifully crafted books in our world. It is filled to the brim with ancient language that is beautiful, noble, and wonderful. Tolkien created his own language. His story is everything good in the world. The good people in his novel are noble, and would not hesitate to lend a hand to even the most evil. He writes a story which is uplifting. The story has everything, love, hate, travels, battles, death, life, (torture, revenge, true love... just kidding:) ) It is a novel of the ages, and a book like it will not be seen for a long time. although, i must warn you, it is hard reading, and if you don't like big books filled with hard words, you should probably find something else.

BLEACH Volume 31

Mangacraze16
, November 10, 2010
This book is as spectacular as Kubo sensei's others! It's got everything it needs to be an amazing book; It has fantastic artwork that's drawn with emotion, it's full of laughs, tears, and bloody battles, and heart-breaking deaths. Oh, and did i mention the amazing battles that take place throughout the entire book? And the comedy relief that can make you laugh until your sides ache?This manga is worth every penny, and then some. Tite Kubo weaves together this spectacular book in amazing ways. And I have to say: I love his art! This manga is one of his best!
