Meet the Host Club of the rich and prestigious Ouran Academy, a place where girls with too much time on their hands can mingle and be entertained (don't worry, it's nothing bad) by guys who also have too much time on their hands. When Haruhi Fujioka, a middle-class scholarship student, accidently breaks a vase worth ¥8,000,000, she finds herself at the mercy of the Host Club. Can she cope with keeping her identity secret while being a host and entertaining guests? And who knows, maybe Cupid will throw in some romance along the way...

Oh my goodness, I love this manga/anime/drama series. My sister and I could NOT stop laughing while we watched the anime. Seriously, if you are an otaku and for some reason have NEVER watched/read this before, DO IT NOW!!

I would recommend this to:EVERYONE, but mostly to those who enjoy manga or anime or both.

This startling dramatic thriller chronicles a teacher's revenge over the death of her young daughter. She subtly and gradually tortures her students, whom she believes to have murdered her daughter, despite police saying that she drowned after falling into the school pool. Will justice prevail? Will she get her redemption?

Oh. My. Freaking. Goodness. I love this movie! I can barely find the words to express how good it was. I rarely get emotionaly during movies or stories, and even if I do I can only spare a tear or two. But THIS movie-oh, man- I was silently bawling at the end. Their so many twists and subplots and lies and-it's just SO AMAZING. It MUST be watched.

I would recommend this to: EVERYONE!! It's too good of a movie to NOT be watched!

Oh, my! After a very late rabbit goes scampering by, Alice suddenly finds herself in the most curious land ever! Babies turning into pigs, mushrooms that make you grow or shrink, and, most absurdly, a dodo bird! Whatever has happened? Will Alice find that talking rabbit-or more importantly, find the way back home again?

A classic story, Alice in Wonderland is a very lively book. NO ONE should NOT read it!

Rating: Really liked it



Rachel and the gang have pretty much gotten the hang of morphing from an animal and back into their normal bodies. But, Rachel suddenly finds herself unable to control her morphing-one moment she's human, the next an elephant, and then she morphs directly into a grizzly bear! What on earth is happening?

This book posed an intriguing scenario in the world of morphing. It wasn't too shabby, either.

Rating: Really liked it



Jake, Marco, Cassie, Tobias, and Rachel are five normal kids-your average American teenagers, right?

Wrong.

Once they're given the power to morph into any animal they touch by an Alien shipwrecked on Earth, the five are in a race against time to save the human population from being turned into Controllers-slaves controlled by an alien enemy, the Yeerks. Can they stop the Yeerks from taking control of the earth? Or even worse, the galaxy?
The first book in the Animorphs series was actually a lot better than I anticipated. It's more complicated than meets the eye, with subplots within the main plot to keep things interesting.

Born This Way

Born This Way

By: Lady Gaga

Rating: It was amazing!



This may be a very biased review since this is coming from a Lady Gaga fan. Looking at her third album "Born This Way", she has definitely gotten better and does it again. I have noticed that her songs are more personal, more serious, and just as catchy. Yes, she still writes her own songs.

"Born This Way" has a great message to just be yourselves and I can definitely relate to this song. My personal favorite is "Edge of Glory" not only because of the tune, but also because of the message she is singing about living in the moment. I also liked "Scheibe" because the tune is catchy and I think she sings partly in German, not sure about that though. "Judas" is very religiously symbolic and catchy. I also loved "Hair" because of the connection she makes about her being as free as her hair. Plus the song has a very good tune. "You and I" is one of the few songs I did not care too much about but was really  one of Gaga's more personal songs.

I get that Lady Gaga is still as weird as always (especially her outfits), but all I care is that her songs are awesome and that she is unique.


Recommended to: Lady Gaga fans, almost everyone.

Adele has done it again with her sophomore album titled "21" after her current age. She is one of the rare singers of today that can write their own songs and can sing very well.
Songs I liked on the album are "Rolling in the Deep" which has been overplayed by now. Besides being very catchy, it is very well-written. The song is about a breakup. My personal favorite is "Someone like You" because according to the lyrics, it seems like a song I will sing many years from now if I see my best friend get married. The song makes me a bit sad but at the same time so touching. "Rumour Has It" is so true in today's world and what is a better way to say it than with Adele's amazing vocals. "Turning Tables" has a catchy tune and is as good as the others mentioned.

It's not everyday that you can bump into a singer with so much talent. Adele is amazing.

Into the Wild

Into the Wild

Reviewed by: Jerry, 16

Rating: It was amazing!



This is probably one of the most enjoyable and interesting reading I had for a long time. The story focused on a college graduate called Chris McCandless, who ventured into the wild after abandoning his his cash, car, and basically all his belongings. Despite the fact that he could have settle down and find a good job with his college degree, instead he rather ventured into the wild homeless.

Everyone should read this book because it really can change the way we view this world. There's this person, who will give up everything to follow what he really wanted to do: embracing our nature. Unlike most of us, who are mostly materialistic and are willing to do anything that allows us to make the most money, instead of what we really wanted to do.

The author did a good job writing the book not only because it was informative and descriptive, but also because he wasn't biased. Many people feel that Chris McCandless is stupid for abandoning everything and travel into the wild without even telling anyone, making his friends and family worry. The other half of the people feel that Chris is inspirational for following his dream. The author didn't side with either of the group because he wanted the readers to form their own opinion. Now it is up for you to decide after you read the book.
