What is wrong with me I haven’t posted about mu shi shi I consider this to be a good manga there isn’t real story line to it but it is really good its about this man who goes around helping people the best way he can people that are having problems with mu shi shi that is as the book goes on you slowly learn about mu shi shi what they are what they do and what they can do. You see most mu shi shi are harmless and some help but there are thos that hurt but in the end this is a good book and has some hidden meaning but you have to look really hard oh and I hope my spelling is better(in sarcastic voice)

GIMMICAL☆IMPACT!!

GIMMICAL☆IMPACT!!

By: LM.C
Reviewed by: Jenn, 14
Rating: Really liked it


Though LM.C's activities have not gone on long (the band officially began activities in August of 2006), they have become widely popular. Namely among anime fans, as their music has landed a spot as openings and endings of anime such as Red Garden and Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

LM.C has a lot of talent, and their newest album, GIMMICAL☆IMPACT!!, just showcases that talent even more.

The first track on the album, RAINBOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA, is a unique song indeed. It mixes funky sound effects in the background of dark tune played by an orchestra. The song has no vocal accompaniment from their vocalist, Maya, but no vocals are needed, otherwise it would take away from the rest of the song.

The second song, CHEMICAL KING-TWOON, doesn't fail to deliver either. Both members of the band have the chance to sing in this one, the guitarist, Aiji, having his own rap parts twice during the song. The tune itself is one that would surely be enjoyable to any rock fan.

Tracks such as Galileo, TABOO, and JOKER -my name is-, showcase the unique-ness of the band well. Many of their songs incorporate bits of techno and rap into it while the tune itself can alternate between a darker tone to a slower more easy-going tone.

Other new tracks on the album like Love me? and my girl, are beautiful additions to the CD. They have a more romantic tone to them, and are sure to warm your heart.

Of course, the album wouldn't be complete without some of LM.C'S more previously released singles such as 88, Bell the CAT, and JOHN. This is definitely something all LM.C fans, old or new, should own. Of course, if you're someone who is thinking of giving them a try, it's highly recommended as well.

Twilight

Twilight


By: Stephenie Meyer
Reviewed by: Jenn, 14
Rating: It was alright...


This book is the start of a series that has become immensely popular these days. But what I don't understand is why.

Now I'm not saying that the book is bad. I enjoyed it a little. However the amount of praise and legions of fans it's getting is going a little overboard. Though a 'little' overboard is a huge understatement.

When you think about it, the plot of Twilight is basically the same as any other vampire romance story. Male vampire and female human fall in love, human wants to become a vampire so they can be together forever, etc. The fact that the setting is 'modern' isn't anything new either. Look at the TV Series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." But at least that had more originality than this.

I will give Meyer some credit for originality, however, in the case of the sparkling. One thing I always look forward to when reading or watching something with vampires in it, is what they choose to do with the old myth of vampires burning in the sun. Some leave it with that, some have them nocturnal, some just don't like the sun, and the list goes on. This is the first time I've seen someone come up with the idea of vampires sparkling in the sunlight, though. While some may not have thought this idea very good, I am one who really loves sparkly things, so it was a plus for me.

Unfortunately I have to drop back into criticisms. For one, there's the ever-so constant describing of Edward's "beauty". He is very handsome. He has topaz eyes. He's graceful. He has a beautiful smile. That, and quite a few other things mentioned, are all very nice and all - BUT WE GET IT ALREADY. There is no need to repeat yourself five million times, even if the book is told from Bella's perspective.

Second - how emo can Bella's character be? It seems like a lot of the time we hear about how oh-so miserable her life is. And then right into the over flattery of Edward making her life just ~wonderful~.

Those being my main irks in the book, I see it fit to stop there. I won't say this book is necessarily bad, though. It more depends on how picky you are. If you enjoy romance stories even if the plot is nothing new, then it's probably a book you will like. For those who like more action or prefer books with a more unique story, then it's not for you.

Misery

Misery

She hovered over his bed as she watched him type the next novel to his series, awakening misery from her death, death, the one thing this novel wished for than staying trapped with his kidnapper who saved his life with her foul breath.

I thought that this book was okay, it was a bit slow, and couldnt keep my attention. I only kept reading it to see if anything better happens. There is gore and horror in this book, but not much to an approval of someone who wants nightmares, and images of them.

He was not very descriptive with it, I could barly see what his kidnapper looked like, only by what she dressed in.

It still has that shock in it and your heart is racing, your chest hurting as you hold your breath as you await to see what happens.

But there is not much to it. There isnt really a plot to it, just something scary, which it really didnt accomplish.

The howls of the crazed forest spooking Louis as he carries a heavy black trash bag and shovel, down to the ancient indian burial ground.

I thought this book was ok, it was a bit slow, but really graphic which made it worth while. I thought it was a good orror book, even though i have read better.
I think it had a good life learning theme to it.

There isnt much else to say about it except for that it was slow, but descriptive and keeps your heart racing

Schuyler has just learned a new secret of the snobby, fancy and rich classmates. The blue bloods, an ancient group of vampires.

I thought that this book was ok, it was a bit slow and boring, but thats just me. It stays interesting, and doesnt get sidetracked. It has a bit of horror and romance to it, but more of mystery to it.

once you read this book, you want to continue onto the second, but not like "I WANT IT NOW!!"

Te book had interesting charecters, and a good plot, but i think De La could of done better with the descriptions. I think this book is jus to get you started, and the second really gets into the story and plot.
