CHRISTMAS EDITION--BOOK REVIEW: THE CHARM BRACELET AND MY PERSONAL CHRISTMAS PLAYLIST AND CHRISTMAS MOVIE LIST

  Merry Christimas to all my forever wonderful and energetic readers. 
  
  Since today is the first day of Christmas, I decided to do a Christmas edition book review on "The Charm Bracelet" by Melissa Hill and to show you guys my personal Christmas Playlist, which you can listen on during the entire Christmas period, and my personal Christmas Movie List, which you can watch while sipping hot chocolate. I chose to read "The Charm Bracelet" by Melissa Hill because the book also sets around Christmas and also because of that, I decided to review this book with a little bit more of a Christmas tune, which is slightly different than all my previous book reviews. 

  Without any more further distraction, let's get right into it. 

Book Synopsis provided at the back of the book:
"Holly O'Neil knows that every charm bracelet tells a story.
Many years ago she was sent one with just a single charm attached. The charms have been appearing ever since, often at challenging times, as if her mysterious benefactor knows exactly when she needs a little magic in her life. 
As a result, Holly's bracelet is her most prized possession. So when she finds someone else's charm bracelet, she feels she has to try to reunite it with its owner. Even if the only clues she has to follow are the charms themselves.
On a search that will take her all over New York City at Christmas, Holly becomes ever more determined to piece together the details of this other charmed life. But what she doesn't know is that her quest may also lead her somewhere she never, ever expected..."


OFFICIAL BOOK REVIEW:
+ This book consists of 41 chapters, which are all completely wrapped around with bundles of joy. Everything in this book was just so exciting and really addictive; so exciting and addictive till the point I just did not want to put the book down. Too be honest, I'm not the type of reader who will jump right into for a genre like this and it was my mother who chose this book for me because she thought I like books with pretty covers and trust me, I always fall for pretty covers. The good thing is most of the pretty books contain an amazing story inside like "A Court of Thorns and Roses", "Red Queen", "The Bone Season" and many others. And it is also a way to keep my bookshelf constantly looking pretty and interesting. However, when I bought this book, it took me a few months to finally pick it up and read, and I'm really glad I did because it was really good. 
+ This book is like a wrapped-up present with beautiful present paper wrapped all over it and a big red bow on top of it (there is literally a red elegantly-tied ribbon on the front cover) and inside contains full of unexpected and full of wonder. And reading this book is really similar towards opening a present and really excited each time you take a peek inside and the joy inside you when you finally see the gift you always wanted.
+ Melissa Hill is officially my most favourite author and "The Charm Bracelet" is officially my top favourite books of all time. Her writing skills are just so wonderful. I just love how she involved fashion inside it because fashion is my first love apart from reading. After completing this book, I really, really hope she wrote the "Gossip Girl" book series because her writing skills and how she sees life really suits "Gossip Girl", not that I don't like Cecily von Ziegesar. It's just, Melissa would have done a better job with them. I also sense a little "How I Met Your Mother" on-and-off in the book.
+ This is by far the book with least annoying characters. I admit I just don't like Karen and Nick from the first moment they appear, like I could already sense that Karen is a gold-digger and a materialistic girl from the way she talks and reacts. Nick, on the other hand, is one of those douche-bags that doesn't realise they lost something precious until he needs them back. However, I'm still glad Melissa created both of these two characters because without the both of them, it really wasn't an appealing story. 
+ I also can't believe that she could make two complete strangers like Karen and Greg, who's lives are completely different, other than the charm bracelet, intertwined with each other. I mean, I knew immediately that these two characters might meet each other, but the way they met was just so beautiful and special, yet a little shocking. And the romantic relationship like Jeff and Christina she created in this book really made me a little envious, but it also made me believe that true love still exists in a materialistic world like this.
- Although I love a shocking ending that will leave me gasping for months, I hoped the ending could be a little more conclusive and I really want to know more about Holly and Greg's relationship and what the future holds for them. Did they went out on a date after that or something? Are they a couple? Most importantly, do they genuinely have feelings for each other? If they do, does Grey mind Holly has a son? Are their lives truly a happy ending? However, I really hope I could have an opportunity to ask Melissa all the questions personally one day.

CONCLUSION:
I rate this book a 4.3/5.
  Magical. Wonderful. And simply Addictive. Their the only words I can explain about this book or I'll just let the ratings speak for themselves. This is by far the best book I've read this year.
  Overall, if you like Sophie Kinsella's work and fashion or just simply testing the water with a new genre like I first did with this book, I highly recommend this book. (Now, I can't wait to get "Something from Tiffany's", also written by Melissa Hill.)

BOOK REVIEW: LANGDOWN MANOR AND MY RECENT ACTIVITIES DURING THE HOLIDAYS

  Hello to my ever so energetic and wonderful readers.

  Like promised, I have been trying to post more interesting articles onto my blog more often, so I would really appreciate if you guys could suggest more improvements or suggestions on how I could improve this blog. 

  I know I have promised you guys that I will be publishing my book review on "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J Maas, which I have finished reading some time ago, and I have been working really hard on it, but until it is perfect for you guys, I won't be posting it any time sooner. However, as promised, I will posting more articles and in this article, I would be reviewing a contemporary novel named "Langdown Manor" by Sue Reid. I would also be talking a little bit about my recent activities during the holidays. 

  Before we get to the official book review, I just want to throw it out there: I am officially in love with Marvel. Even though I have always looked up to DC for creating Batman and Joker (my strangely, yet particular favourite), there was also something about Marvel that I just find it interesting. My love for Marvel started to grow when I first started watching Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" then it just kept growing. Coincidentally, the last name of the main character in the book I am reviewing is Fitzsimmons (To all Fitzsimmons shipper, you're welcome. Maybe Sue Reid is a shipper too?). And now, I am OBSESSED with Marvel's "Daredevil" and Marvel's "Jessica Jones"! I guess, I am constantly drawn to darker and more realistic themes, maybe that is why I am so OBSESSED with Christopher Nolan's the Dark Knight film trilogy. What about you guys? Are you a Marvel Cinematic Universe fan too? Or is there something better than the tv shows I have listed above? Comment in the box below. I would love to hear your opinions and thoughts on them. 


My Love for Marvel starts here in Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D". This is also one of my favourite posters of it among the rest.  

Don't forget to catch Marvel's "Daredevil" on Netflix (for US residents only) before its return in 2016.

Don't forget to catch Marvel's "Jessica Jones" on Netflix (for US residents only). However, there is still no confirmation on its release date in 2016, but watch it anyway.

My Two Favourite Gummy Bears--#Fitzsimmons 


  Now, let's get to it..

Book Synopsis provided at the back of the book:
""I felt as if the world was vanishing around me. There was only Fred and me. I could have stood there with him forever. NOTHING ELSE MATTERED."
When Penelope Fitzsimmons arrives at Langdown Manor to live with relatives she's never met, she feels desperately alone and unwanted--until she meets Fred. They are two of a kind: restless, unconventional and daring-wanting more from life than what's expected of them. But she's an upper-class girl and he's a servant. How can they ever be together when society keeps them apart?"

OFFICIAL BOOK REVIEW:
+ "Langdown Manor" by Sue Reid is a good contemporary romance novel that sets in the most critical time during the prohibition of master-servant relationship and the uprising of women's rights.
+ I really love Sue Reid's writing in the book. It's really one of those classic yet cliché romance novel, but with a bit of a modern twist.
+ It also has one of the prettiest book cover. 
+ I really enjoyed Penelope Fitzsimmons and Jess' perspectives about wealth and social rankings. It's just really well-described to make the readers to be more understanding of the materialistic society around them. 
+ I also enjoyed how Penelope expressed her homesickness because at some point in our lives, we will be force to leave our home and to go somewhere far away, so the way Penelope described her homesickness just made it really believable and realistic. 
-However, I did occasionally find most of the characters in this book really annoying, especially Fred and Sarah. I think, if you truly love someone, there really isn't any boundaries between them, but Fred just keeps bringing up the whole "I'm a servant and you're a lady" thing and ends their relationship, but eventually reconciles and this cycle begins again. I mean, yes, the journey would be difficult, but when there's a will, there's always a way, right?
-Sarah, on the other hand, is my least favourite character in the book. From the beginning till the end, all I wanted is to strangle her and say, "He never liked you from the beginning, so find someone else that can eventually treat you right, instead of wasting your time blaming on your best friend for this problem". It was really frustrating! 
-Then, there was the inconvenient ending that just sent me went CUCKOO...if only the ending could be a little more conclusive instead of just leaving a massive cliffhanger. (Thanks, Sue, for leaving such a big question mark in my mind.) There was just a lot of question marks on-and-off in the story like what actually happened between Penelope's mother and her sister, and how did the relationship between Penelope's parents resulted their departure to India to start a new life, and did George really helped Ivy out of sincerity or is it out of leisure?
-I also wish the coming-out ball could be a little longer and more interesting since this is one of the major parts of the plot.
-I was also quite surprised when Sue put the involvement of women protesting for their own rights and the plan of marching into parliament. However, I was definitely disappointed that Sue did not involve Penelope in the protest or even in the happenings of the protest, but I kind of understand that Sue doesn't want to involve those scenes or she'll have to change the book title. 


The beautiful book cover of "Langdown Manor" by Sue Reid.


CONCLUSION:
I rate this book a 3.5/5.
  This book is definitely more than just another pretty book cover. 
  Overall, the story may not be fast-paced or exciting compared to the previous books I've read, but I definitely recommend this novel to fans, who really enjoy the romance genre, or to those who's just searching for a light read.

I am currently reading two books at the same time while I am still giving my book review on "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J Maas some final touches.

BOOK REVIEW: SHADOW AND BONE

  After more than one year, I can finally come back to my precious blog and say, "Hello, my ever so wonderful and energetic readers", so this is what I'm going to do. 

  Hello, my ever so wonderful and energetic readers and welcome back to my blog. 

  I know it has been so long since I last posted, but my schooling days are officially way passed behind me right now, so that means I get to post more articles more often. As you can see, I have updated my blog by adding my Instagram page and Twitter page, so be sure to go check those out and follow them. I will also be doing some change in the articles that I have posted, so it's a fresh new start. 

  Now, without any further dilly-dally, let's get straight to the official book review on the first book in the Grisha trilogy, "Shadow and Bone" by Leigh Bardugo. I recently finished this book and I thought what better way to stage my comeback than posting my first book review on my first book of 2015. 

Book Synopsis provided at the back of the book: 
"'I've been waiting for you a long time, Alina,' he said. 'You and I are going to change the world.'
"The Shadow Fold, a swathe of impenetrable darkness, is slowly destroying the once-great nation of Ravka.
Alina, a pale, lonely orphan, discovers a unique power that thrusts her into the world of the kingdom's magical elite--the Grisha. Could she be the key to setting Ravka free?
The Darkling, a man of seductive charm and terrifying power. If Alina is to fulfill her destiny, she must unlock her gift and face up to her dangerous attraction to him. 
But what of Mal, Alina's childhood best friend? As Alina contemplates her dazzling new future, why can't she ever quite forget him?" 

(*Spoilers Alert! I will not be doing a brief summary on this book. This book review might give away some things that are not mentioned in the brief synopsis of the book, so you have been advice.)

OFFICIAL BOOK REVIEW: 
+ The story really drew me in from the beginning and immediately held my heart. I was holding my breath on several scenes; I was kicking and almost threw my book against the wall on several scenes; I swooned on several scenes. This book did take me on this emotional-filled roller-coaster ride. It was just that good. 
+ I also enjoyed Leigh Bardugo's writing. In my perspective, although the storyline is being controlled by the author, but the readers are still allowed to have different perspectives and different opinions that sometimes might differ from what the author originally had in mind, and that is what I like particularly about Leigh Bardugo's style of writing. It's always brief, but detailed, so it gives you the opportunity to go free roaming with your creative ideas. 
-Now, for the characters. I would say Alina, the main protagonist of the story, isn't my favourite in the book. From early on in the book, you can definitely sensed that Alina is a damsel in distress, only the fact that she has extraordinary powers of her own, she knows how to hold a knife, but definitely a damsel in distress. However, that doesn't begin to cover up what I'm about to say. What really got me disliking this character is when she first arrived in the Little Palace and especially during those training scenes. I mean, if it were up to me, knowing the fact that I have so much responsibility on my shoulders, I would definitely step up my game and try twice as hard as everyone else. I mean, come on, the lives of the entire nation of Ravka sets on my shoulder. But no, Alina just complains and how she would always say that she can't and how she needs a break. I mean, seriously? A break when the entire nation is depending on your powers, which you still need much more training on, to be finally freed of the fear of the Shadow Fold and you need a break? Yeah, it was just that frustrating. However, by the end of the story, Alina still had some redeeming qualities. At least, by the end of the story, she no longer views herself as the lonely and weak orphan anymore, but someone who finally has the power to help the people she cared about and hopefully, the entire nation of Ravka. 
- As for the Darkling, I was in love with him in the beginning. Too be honest, I was really pining for his appearance and when he finally came out in the story, he just captivated me and made me swoon right from the beginning. However, when he revealed himself to be the main antagonist, that was when I don't like him anymore, especially after he recaptures Alina and Mal. The Darkling literally went from dark and powerful guy to some really immature guy. I just didn't appreciate those conversations he made with Alina and to his soldiers because they were just plain meaningless. Leigh Bardugo, the author of the book, just stopped portraying his "the most powerful Grisha, who lived for over a hundred years" aura, but instead, gave him a childish and immature personality, so I was definitely disappointed. I mean, even though Alina is the main protagonist of the story, but really, we have been pining for the Darkling's appearance, so it definitely let me down a little bit. 
+ The only main character that I really liked in the entire story was surprisingly...Mal. He just reminded me a little bit of Gale from "The Hunger Games" trilogy, but with a better sense of judgement, he always think before he acts and he doesn't yell at Alina for doing something right through a totally crazy and insensible way. I just felt like Mal was the only one, who was really in control of his own destiny and his own goals. Instead of being jealous over Alina's relationship with the Darkling, he uses his love for her to be better and to get ahead of himself. He was also constantly focused onto the mission, like he doesn't allow his love for Alina to be a distraction for him. I just really like his character's personality establishment and he is the only one I am really looking forward to see in the sequel. 
+ My two other favourite characters of the entire book is actually Genya and Fedyor. I just love these two characters so much (even more than the main characters of the story). I just want to cuddle them to sleep, especially Genya. In the beginning of the book, there was just something about Genya that got me wondering when I'm reading scenes with her in it, like who is she really? Is she on the good side or is she on the bad side? Is she on Alina's side or is she on the Darkling's side? If she's on Alina's side, just how far will she go to protect her from danger? If she's on the Darkling's side, will she approve of the methods he is using to gain power? But that's only the beginning, it was by the end of the book that I was really intrigued by the character. She literally threw me under the bus and that was when it got me thinking: If she has been on the Darkling's side this entire time, was she faking the friendship she had with Alina? Or was there never a friendship, but merely a way for her to be on the Darkling's good side and to finally get what she has always wanted--Power? 
+ As for Fedyor, I just enjoyed all the scenes with him in it, especially the scene he shared with Alina in the carriage ride to the Little Palace. I just felt like he was a humorous soldier with a good heart. And for that, his appearance in the book was just not enough. I was kind of hoping he would appear at the end of the book, but he didn't. I really would have wanted to know the outcome if Fedyor was there when the Darkling's treachery has been expose because there was something about Fedyor's personality that resembles to Alina, so I think he would not have approve of the Darkling's methods, but will he fight against the Darkling for Alina? If he will, I got a vision those scenes with him and Alina joining forces with each other won't be pretty for the Darkling, but it will be pretty for the book and the readers, especially in my mind (*creepy laugh). However, if he did not appear by the end of the book, does that mean he knew of the Darkling's plan the whole time and opposes his idea of destroying their enemies for power and control? Regardless, I still feel he is going to be Alina's new best friend in the sequel...if he appears.
+ Last but not least, Ivan. Ivan was a good supporting character in the story. In this book, I just felt like there were two different perspectives; one is from Alina's perspective and one is from Ivan's perspective. Through Alina, she sees no difference of the Darkling enslaving the innocent lives beyond Ravka like how they have been living for years, but through Ivan, he sees the Darkling's method as a way to stop all future wars and really start a new era of peace. So, I definitely felt through Ivan's perspective, the reader is left conflicted with these two freedom-fighting ideas because the truth is, there is no wrong in the Darkling's idea of stopping all wars and start a new era of peace, but it's really how he did it that makes it wrong. 
-Then, there was this whole love triangle between The Darkling, Mal and Alina, which I absolutely hated because it made Alina appeared exactly like a typical teenager. I just feel like she is the Sun Summoner, so her responsibility should be big and she should be focusing onto the problem, not conflicting her romantic feelings between these two guys. However, I understand that every author needs to add in a love triangle to make things more interesting, but I just felt like the entire love triangle is just so unnecessary. I mean, Leigh Bardugo, the author, did a great job with the story, but the love triangle kind of ruined it...a bit. 
-However, maybe I anticipated much more than what this book has to offer. When it first got released, this book immediately gained lots of recognition and this book really got me up hyped up. Don't get me wrong, this book definitely drew me in from the beginning and it was just so captivating...until the winter fete, which is also halfway across the book. My feelings for this book just went straight down to the sewer. After the winter fete scene, the story just shifted off to something different and it was not exactly a good different because I definitely anticipated much more after that.

(I decided to shoot my own copy of books now, instead of taking it from the internet, so I hope you guys enjoy it.) 

Another book cover version of Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.

Another book cover version of Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.
However, this is called "The Gathering Dark", instead of Shadow and Bone.


EXPECTATIONS FOR THE SEQUEL:
* Hopefully, there will be improvement in the characters' development, especially Alina and the Darkling.
* More Mal, Genya and Fedyor scenes.
* Maybe even a kick-a*s scene with Alina and Fedyor joining forces with each other. 
* More a*s-kicking fighting scenes.
* More mature conversations. 

CONCLUSION: I rate this book a 3.9/5. 
  I felt connected to the story right from the beginning and through Leigh Bardugo's AMAZING style of writing, but as you get to the ending, the suspense and all your hopes for a better chapter just kept declining. The main characters were too underdeveloped, even though there are still pretty AWESOME supporting characters. 
  Overall, if you are a Russia-inspired Fantasy fan, I highly recommend this book, but don't say I didn't warn you, the characters might set your fire a little bit off.

FILM REVIEW: X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST AND MY CURRENT READS

Hello, my wonderful, ever energetic readers. 
I'm sorry I wasn't able to do a weekly book review for the past three weeks because my Mid-Term Exam was going on and I didn't really read any books during that period because I was so busy catching up with my exam papers, but my Mid-Term Holiday just started so I think I would be able to do probably a twice-a-week review if only I could finish reading a book like really fast, which is possible for my reading speed.
For this post, I will be reviewing "X-Men: Days Of Future Past", which just recently released on March 23rd, which is also 2 days ago. I actually just watched it one day after its release, which is on March 24th, which is also a Saturday. Too be honest, I'm still fangirling about everything that practically happened in this film like Jennifer Lawrence (If you saw my Instagram page, you would notice I'm actually wearing a blue dress to support Jennifer Lawrence as Raven a.k.a Mystique in the film.) Furthermore, I'll also be showing you guys my current reads.
  Now, let's jump right in. 

(*Spoilers Alert! However, I will not be doing a brief summary on this film. You can check out the link below of the post for more information on this film.)

OFFICIAL FILM REVIEW:
+ The plot of the film was just so smart and really breathtaking. I really enjoyed the entire idea of the film like involving time-traveling and going back to the past to fix all those wrong-doings to save the present and the future. I think this film really taught all the viewers that everything you do has its own consequences and it may change the future in a good way or in a bad way, and it's really all about the choices you make to undone the future and change history forever.
+ First, I got to say Hugh Jackman as Logan a.k.a. Wolverine just made the entire audience at the very edge of their sits. Too be honest, I wasn't really a huge fan of Wolverine because he didn't really attracted my attention towards him even though he had played the main lead in most of the X-Men films, but after watching Hugh's performance in this film, I was like "Can I just have some more Wolverine scenes?" Because there weren't really much scenes about him and I just wished we could have seen more Wolverine-in-action. 
+ My two Charles Xavier a.k.a. Professor X : James McAvoy , who reprised his role as the younger version of Charles Xavier, and Patrick Stewart , who played the older version of Charles Xavier and also in the original X-Men trilogy films. I have to say James McAvoy definitely nailed his role as the younger version of Charles Xavier like you would never expected Charles to be going through so much pain and suffering before becoming the well-known Professor X that every mutant and human in the world respects and admires. James McAvoy is really good at delivering emotional scenarios since this is about him battling his own demons and the evil brewing around him, so I think he did a FANTASTIC job. As for Patrick Stewart, I think his role is quite simple compared to James McAvoy, but that doesn't mean he didn't do anything. I think at that specific situation, when you know you're the last few species of your kind standing alive, there is this certain amount of fear and emotion inside, so I think that's what Sir Patrick Stewart delivered, like he's strong and calm on the surface and has all his faith towards the person he trusted the most--Logan, but still deep down, he has that fear that they may not have enough time to save them from extinction. So hands down to these both AMAZING actors portraying Professor X.  
+ I got a lot of good things to say about these two portraying the younger version and older version of Erik Lensherr a.k.a Magneto respectively: Michael Fassbender (younger version of Magneto) and Ian McKellen (older version of Magneto). First of all, I started fangirling over Michael Fassbender straight away after his appearance when they were breaking him out of the Pentagon. Before "X-Men: First Class", I never really given much thought to whatever Magneto really gone through, in the previous X-Men trilogy films because well first, he's a villain and second, his really ambitious; but after watching the first "X-Men: First Class" film with Michael portraying Erik Lensherr before he officially became Magneto really got me wondering the real reason why he became the villain he is in the previous X-Men trilogy films...(like he's that good)...And in "X-Men: Days of Future Past", he brought Erik Lensherr in a whole new direction or it's just Michael himself bringing his acting skills in a whole new level. There is this one specific scene in the film that really wrecked me because Michael's acting skills on emotional scenarios just really got to me. Too be honest, at some point of the film, I was really hoping they could just make a film about him with Michael portraying. Sir Ian McKellen, on the other hand, really got me wanting to watch those previous X-Men trilogy films with him as Magneto through out this film because I never thought he could make Magneto this bad-ass and at a very specific scene in the film just suddenly got really emotional. I just have to do this stand up ovation for the both of them.
+ Another reason to watch this film is of course to watch this bad-ass actress, Jennifer Lawrence portraying this kick-ass character, Raven a.k.a Mystique. You probably have watched her in "The Hunger Games" film series as the main protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, but forget all of that. Jennifer Lawrence definitely dropped the whole Katniss personality and went diving into the Mystique personality and she nailed it. She was able to portray the more emotional side of Mystique that were never seen before in the previous "X-Men" trilogy films and you'll never know she actually went through all those pain and suffering too to get to the villain that she was in the "X-Men" trilogy films. I mean, I always wanted to know Mystique's background story and how she met Magneto and joined forces with him, and this film definitely tells some part of how she became the person she is today. Speaking of Magneto, I really enjoyed the chemistry they had throughout the film, not that they kissed or anything, but I feel the both of them (Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence) had such great chemistry throughout the film, but you can't help but wonder sometimes that they will definitely get rid of each other to get whatever they want, but that's what makes their personalities so similar. The relationship between Raven and Charles Xavier was even more emotional compared to her and Erik, but that's what really make the film even more interesting. I think, even though they stand on different grounds and fighting in opposite purposes, but deep down, they still need each other like most of the siblings do. Overall, I got to say I have never loved Mystique this much until Jennifer Lawrence came by and swooped us of our feet.
+ I have never seen a more braver person than Ellen Page, who came out a lesbian just a few months ago, and she nailed the role of Kitty Pryde a.k.a Shadowcat right into the wall like literally she could walked right through walls. I think her role is very simple, but Ellen Page was able to portray this even more complex and diverse character of Kitty Pryde and we had never seen this side of her, like she grew from this teenager mutant who had the ability to walk through walls to this brave young woman who takes her mutant abilities to a whole new level and gained a new power to control the past and to change the future. 
+ Like I said in my "X-Men: Days of Future Past Trailer Reactions", I really don't know what to expect with Peter Dinklage portraying the main antagonist, Bolivar Trask, but he definitely did a great job in this film. Even though, Trask doesn't show that cruel side of him on the surface, but below it all, he's actually a cold-blooded animal who experiments on mutants to create the perfect weapon called the Sentinels and he doesn't even feel guilty or anything about creating an extinction of the mutant species, and that's what really makes Peter's acting performance so good. Like, you can't really hate him or love him, it just makes you feel lots of emotions inside of you. 
+ Another actor that I would like to give an applause to has got to be Nicholas Hoult portraying Hank McCoy a.k.a. Beast. I don't really have much to say about his character, but I really enjoyed his acting performance in the film. I think, Hank is still struggling to control himself as Beast, but he's definitely learning how to, and that emotional journey throughout the film of realization that mutants can't really be accepted as part of the community and it just breaks all the audiences heart. With Fan Bing Bing as Clarice Ferguson a.k.a Blink was just another perfection of the film. I have never seen a Chinese actress portraying such a strong character this well other than Li Bing Bing, but she did such a FANTASTIC job in this film, and I'm definitely looking forward to watch her in the sequel. I'm also looking forward to watch Evan Peters portraying Pietro Maximoff a.k.a Quicksilver in the sequel. However, I'm not sure if Evan will be reprising his role or even Quicksilver will be reprised in the sequel.

You can follow their Twitter page (@XMenMovies) for more updates and information on this film. You can also #XMenDaysOfFuturePast on Twitter, I'm currently retweeting and favourite every tweets with this hashtag trend of "X-Men: Days of Future Past". 
The official teaser poster for Wolverine, who is portrayed by none-other-than Hugh Jackman. There were many official posters of Wolverine that were released, but I just adore this one so I decided to choose this poster of Wolverine. You can follow Hugh Jackman on Twitter: @RealHughJackman for more information on Wolverine and of course updates of  Hugh himself.
My Two Charles Xavier/ Professor X: Patrick Stewart (left) portrayed the older version of Charles Xavier in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and the original "X-Men" trilogy films. You can follow him on his Twitter page: @SirPatStew for more information and updates on his character. James McAvoy (right) portrayed the younger version of Charles Xavier in "X-Men: First Class" and of course 'X-Men: Days of Future Past".
The official teaser poster of Erik Lensherr a.k.a Magneto in the combination of the older version and the younger version of himself: Michael Fassbender portrayed the younger version of Magneto in "X-Men: First Class" and reprised his role again as Magneto in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" alongside Sir Ian McKellen to portray the older version of Magneto in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and the original "X-Men" trilogy films. You can follow Sir Ian McKellen on his Twitter Page: @IanMcKellen for more updates and more information on Magneto and the talent behind him. 
I just can't get enough of these two. Michael Fassbender (who portrayed the younger version of Magneto) and Sir Ian McKellen (who portrayed the older version of Magneto) was just so BAD-ASS in the film. I just wish there were more.
You do have to excuse me for putting up this image of Michael Fassbender. I just can't stop FANGIRLING over him after watching "X-Men: Days of Future Past". If you already watched this film, you will know why. (He just killed it.)
Jennifer Lawrence in blue or it's just her portraying Raven a.k.a Mystique in 'X-Men: First Class" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past". #JenniferLawrence and I will retweet your tweets too. She's just so good in the films.
Jennifer Lawrence being Jennifer Lawrence (LOL) except she's portraying Raven. You can find this specific scene of Raven in "X-Men: Days of Future Past".
The bravest and the most talented actress in the whole wide world, Ellen Page portrayed the character of Kitty Pryde a.k.a Shadowcat in "X-Men: Days of Future Past". However, she took Kitty Pryde into a whole new level and direction compared to the original "X-Men" trilogy films. (You will never see it coming.) You can also follow her on her Twitter page: @EllenPage
Peter Dinklage is probably one of the most talented actors of all times. You may know him as Tyrion Lannister in "Game of Thrones". He also portrayed the main antagonist, Bolivar Trask, in "X-Men: Days of Future Past". 
Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy a.k.a Beast before transformation. There were just too many pictures of him as Beast so i could only find one decent picture of him in his character and this is the only one. You can follow him on his Twitter page: @NicholasHoult for more information and update on his character and of course himself.
Fan Bing Bing portrayed Clarice Ferguson a.k.a Blink in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and I can't wait to see her again in the sequel, "X-Men: Apocalypse", which will be released on March 27, 2016 if there isn't any last minute changes. (I just love her costume and her hairstyle in this film.)
I also can't wait to see Evan Peters as Pietro Maximoff a.k.a Quicksilver in the sequel. He's just such a fun and energetic character that I love to see more in the future. 

Most of all, us fans must give all our love and gratitude to this guy's existence because he created the most AMAZING characters (I do mean Superheroes) and comic books (With Superheroes in it). You can follow Stan Lee on his Twitter page: @TheRealStanLee for more SUPERHEROES adventures.
EXPECTATIONS FOR THE SEQUEL:
* More Kitty Pryde/ Shadowcat scenes.
* More Blink, Quicksilver, Ororo Munroe a.k.a Storm (Halle Berry) , Bobby Drake a.k.a Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), Bishop (Omar Sy) , Peter Rasputin a.k.a Colossus (Daniel Cudmore) , Alex Summers a.k.a Havok (Lucas Till) in-action scenes.  
* MAGNETO'S RETURN!
* More Raven and Charles Xavier scenes.

CONCLUSION:
I rate this film a 4.8/5.
  I think this film is close to perfection. I just feel like the film was so good that you feel that it's just not enough. However, I fully understand that since it is a combination of the present and the future, so there were many scenes that were a little be rush and needs to be shorten. However, I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel, "X-Men: Apocalypse" that will be releasing in March 27, 2016, if there isn't any changes. All the cast members will be reprising their roles alongside some new cast members like Channing Tatum was recently cast as Gambit and they're still looking for new cast members to portray the younger version of Storm, Cyclops and Jean Grey. 
  Overall, this film is probably the BEST among all the other X-Men films that were ever made and be sure to check this film out in your nearest cinemas or theaters.

MY "FALLEN" FILM ADAPTION HYPE AND MY OFFICIAL THIRD BOOK REVIEW: INTERWORLD

Hello again, my favourite blog readers!
  First of all, it has been exactly 2 weeks (14 days) since I last blogged about a book review and it's on "Quantum Prophecy: The Awakening". I know I've mentioned that I would be getting the sequel, "Quantum Prophecy: The Gathering", very soon since I really enjoyed the first book. However, I have been really busy lately with my studies and I didn't get a chance to go to my local bookstore to get all the books that I want. (Trust me, I have a lot of books in my #MustPurchasedList than you can imagine!) 
  Before I start my book review on "InterWorld", which I actually finished reading couple of weeks ago, I actually read on Twitter that the "Fallen" movie production had officially wrapped up and they just released the first image of "Fallen" featuring the main protagonist, Lucinda 'Luce' Price (Addison Timlin) , the Fallen Angel, Daniel Grigori (Jeremy Irvine) and also another Fallen Angel, Cameron 'Cam' Briel (Harrison Gilbertson). The "Fallen" series consists of four novels: Fallen, Torment, Passion and Rapture. Unfortunately, I haven't read the rest of the sequels to "Fallen" because I bought "Fallen" alongside with "Hush Hush" and I completely fell in love with "Hush Hush", and "Fallen" was kind of like a cure to my book hangover from "Hush Hush". However, I did enjoyed the first book and now I have the intention on getting the entire series, and hopefully I could marathon them and write a book review on them, very soon. 
"Fallen" is a Young-Adult Fantasy and Romance Novel, written by the #1 New York Times Bestseller, Lauren Kate. It was first published on December 8, 2009. The film adaption of "Fallen" will be released in 2015. You can join in the #FallenMovie trend on Twitter.

She will play the lead role in the "Fallen" film adaption as Lucinda 'Luce' Price.

Harrison Gilbertson is the 20 year-old Australian actor, who would be portraying Cameron 'Cam' Briel in the "Fallen" film adaption. This is the link to his Twitter account page if you want to follow him: (@GilbertsonReal)

  Now, let's proceed on to my third official book review on "InterWorld" by Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves. First of all, I got to say I am a HUGE FAN of Neil Gaiman's writing. My first and most favourite Neil Gaiman book is "Coraline". I fell completely in love with it; I love the story line that involves this small tiny door that actually separates two very different worlds and I really love Coraline, who is the main protagonist of the story. I remembered when I first read this book, I felt completely drawn by it because I kind of had that Coraline attitude like we always disobey and rebel against our parents' wills and we just never listen to anyone's advice until it's too late and damage has already been caused. There was also a few moments of creepiness and chilliness, but that's what really drew me into the book even more. However, for Michael Reaves, I haven't read anything by him yet, but if I could find one, I would totally go for it because I did find this book interesting.

A brief synopsis that was provided at the back of the book:
"AN ASTOUNDING TALE OF ADVENTURE, DANGER, MAGIC, SCIENCE, FRIENDSHIP, SPACESHIPS, AND, OH YEAH, THE BATTLE TO SAVE ALL THE PEOPLE IN ALL THE WORLDS IN ALL POSSIBLE DIMENSIONS.//JOEY HARKER ISN'T A HERO.// In fact, he's the kind of guy who gets lost in his own house.// But one day, Joey gets really lost. He walks straight out of his world and into another dimension.// Joey's walk between worlds makes him prey to armies of magic and science, both determined to harness Joey's power to travel between the dimensions. The only thing standing in their way is Joey--or, more precisely, an army of Joeys, all from different dimensions and all determined to save the worlds.// Now Joey must make a choice: return to the life he knows or join the battle to the end."
* Spoilers Alert! (If you haven't read the book and didn't want to be spoiled, please scroll below the picture sections, the full book review would be there.)
  Before reading the story, there was a small authors' note: "This is a work of fiction. Still, given an infinite number of possible worlds, it must be true on one of them. And if a story set in an infinite number of possible universe is true in one of them, then it must be true in all of them. So maybe it's not as fictional as we think.

PART 1 (CHAPTER 1-8):
 Joey Harker, who is an average high school student living in Greenville, has trouble finding his way around his own house, let alone the town. On a field trip set by his Social Studies teacher, Mr. Dimas, Joey was paired with Ted Russell and Rowena Danvers. On his way on finding their way back home, Joey finds himself lost in the city. He then enters a strange fog and when he emerges, everything has changed: All the cars are brightly coloured, the police cars flashing green and yellow, instead of blue and red. He, then, goes back home and discovered that he no longer exists anymore, instead a girl named Josephine lives there. He ran outside and bumped into a man wearing a mirrored mask called Jay. Before Jay could explain anything, three men, standing on floating silver disks and wearing grey outfits, are trying to catch Joey using silver nets. Joey ran, unintentionally entering the fog and Walked again. 
  Afraid of going back home, where he doesn't exist and belonged to, Joey decided to ask help from Mr. Dimas. Mr. Dimas was shocked to see Joey and told him that he had drowned last year and that he himself had pulled Joey's dead body out of the river. Out of the blue, a woman appeared in the room and bewitched Joey into following her. The woman, later on, introduced herself as Lady Indigo and was joined by two other men; Scarabus, who has all these mystical tattoos all over his body and Neville, a man with transparent skin. They captured Joey and boarded a flying ship called the "Lacrimae Mundi".
  The ship teleported them to a sort of hyperspace called "Nowhere-At-All". Lady Indigo revealed that they are heading towards a place called HEX Prime. Before they could reach their destination, Jay arrived and helped Joey escaped, getting injured in the process. Joey opened a portal to the "In-Between", a multi-dimensional world, where only Walkers and MDLF (Multi-Dimensional Life Forms or also known as Mudluffs) beings can enter. The "In-Between" is a shortcut for travelling from world to world. Joey and Jay exited the "In-Between" and arrived on a desert. There, Jay explained to Joey how he is a part of an organization called "InterWorld" and their job is to keep the Altiverse balanced by stopping the scientific force, Binary, from making worlds too scientific, while also stopping magical force, HEX, from making worlds too magical. Jay also said that Joey has the ability to "Walk", or go into the "In-Between" and other dimensions quickly and effectively.
  A mudluff, which looked like a bubble and has the ability to communicate using colours, appeared to be trapped. As Joey tries to free the mudluff, a giant serpent appeared, biting Jay. The mudluff successfully killed the serpent, but Jay was already dying. Before he dies, he gave Joey the direction to Base Town, where "InterWorld" HQ is. With his dying breath, he showed Joey a mathematical equation that will lead him to Base Town: {IW}:=Ω/∞ ("InterWorld" is Omega over Infinity). The mudluff became attached to Joey after he saved it, and Joey named it "Hue". Joey went to HQ and learned that all Walkers are all copies of himself from different Earths. 

PART 2 (CHAPTER 9-13):
  He began an intense course of exercise while studying very advanced Science and Magic to prepare for his new role as a member of the "InterWorld". Many of the other Joeys initially resented Joey for causing Jay's death, but soon come around about him as his skills improved.
  After a few months of training and studying, Joey and four other Walkers (Jai, J/O, Josef, Jo and Jakon) went on a training mission to retrieve some signal beacons in a more Scientific Earth, but the earth they went turned out to be a "Shadow Realm" and is in fact a trap set by the same people who captured him earlier. Everyone in the team was captured by HEX, except Joey, who was saved by Hue. When Joey escaped back to HQ, the leader, an old man named Joe decided that Joey was not capable of working in "InterWorld" and wiped his memories of his life in "InterWorld". Joey returned home, where he thought nothing has happened, but felt like something was missing. After some time, while blowing bubbles with his little brother, Joey remembered Hue and every memory about Altiverse came back to him.

PART 3 (CHAPTER 14-21):
  With all those memories back, Joey bid his farewell to his mother, who suspected something fishy about him, Walked into the Altiverse again, and sets off to save his teammates.
  With Jay's words in his head and Hue's help, Joey found the airship, where his teammates were being held and landed safely on it. However, he was captured as well and was taken to meet Lord DogKnife, a large and hideous-looking goblin, who led the people who captures his teammates. Joey was then taken to the room, where his teammates were being held. A large cauldron is in the center of the room, built to capture their souls to power the ship. The HEX boil down Walkers to their raw essence, which is used as power supplies for their transdimensional spacecraft. Joey managed to move over to the cauldron and knocked it over, incinerating some of the guards in the room. He, then, moved over to untie his friends, who all try to find an exit so they could go to the engine room and shut the ship down. They, finally, found an exit and escaped to the engine room.
  The engine room was filled with souls from other Walkers, that was powering the ship. Joey and his teammates broke the jars containing them to shut the ship down. The engine exploded, and Joey and his teammates planned an escape from the "Nowhere-At-All". They talked of a gate in the "Nowhere-At-All" from which they could escape, but it was closing quickly. Joey decided he would not leave without Hue because it has saved his life multiple times.
  Many soldiers came into the destroyed engine room in an attempt to recapture Joey and his teammates, and Scarabus appeared to fight them. J/O, a cyborg Joey, stepped up and defeated Scarabus, and everyone went to find Lord DogKnife.
  DogKnife was in the room where Joey saw him earlier, captured by the souls and thus, rendered harmless. Joey found Hue and escaped with his teammates. They are about to escape when Lady Indigo appeared to face them. Joey distracted her from fighting her with some powder in his pocket, and Joey and his teammates successfully escaped through the gate when Joey remembered the mathematical equation that will take him home: {IW}:=Ω/∞.
  They returned to Base Town and to the Old Man, who did not congratulate them for their heroic work. Instead, he lectured them on all their wrongdoings in the Altiverse. However, he now said that Joey is allowed to stay without wiping out his memories. The story ended with the same group sets out on their next mission.
The first edition of "InterWorld" by New York Bestsellers, Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves, which was first published on June 26, 2007.

The Second Edition of "InterWorld" by Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves. This is also the edition I bought for myself. 

"The Silver Dream" by Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves, however, this book was written by Michael Reaves and Mallory Reaves. It was published on April 23, 2013. This is the sequel to "Interworld"

OFFICIAL BOOK REVIEW:
+ It's really unusual for a story that involves crossing between worlds and having the combination of Science (more like Physics) and Magic. Even though, the crossing-between-worlds bares some similarities with "Coraline".
+ I also really enjoyed reading Joseph 'Joey' Harker's perspectives about his "Walking" experience and meeting his doppelgangers from many different worlds. He did bear some similarities with Colin Wagner from "Quantum Prophecy: The Awakening". Joey was definitely in a more emotional situation than Colin. Imagine yourself coming back to a place, where you have always called or known it as home and suddenly it became someone else's home and that you got practically no where to go. I really like how the authors put those feelings into the story to make it even more realistic like the scene where he comes home and discovered that someone else had already replaced him in his own family; That feeling of being abandoned and alone really got to me when I was reading that scene. 
- However, I was really disappointed that the story didn't really attract me the same way "Quantum Prophecy: The Awakening" did since one of my most favourite authors of all times was writing it. I felt the way of their interpretation of the book was really confusing. I didn't really get most of the things that was going on through out the book, it just got me really confused. And there were a lot of Physics involved in the book, which got me even more confused.
-There weren't a lot of fighting and action scenes in it than what I expected it to have. The fighting scene on the "Lacrimae Mundi" was just too brief and really boring. I wanted to skip the entire part because it just really bored me and there wasn't anything interesting in it, unlike "Quantum Prophecy: The Awakening".
- There were too many meaningless conversations. Through out the entire book, there was just too much BLAH...BLAH...BLAH! I was just thinking, "Why wouldn't they add more action scenes or maybe introduce more worlds?" The characters in the book was just...TALKING TOO MUCH...
-Not much well-developed characters, other than Jay and Joey. If they really wanted to introduce that many characters, at least write them like Jay. Maybe you don't want to write too many interesting information about the supporting characters so that it wouldn't over-shine the main protagonist, I get it! But the characters in the book was just too DULL.

EXPECTATIONS FOR THE SEQUEL:
*More fighting and action scenes that could actually keep us readers interested in.
*Introduce more well-develop new characters.
*More Joey-in-action scenes.

CONCLUSION:
I rate this book a 3.5/5.
  All I could say is that if you really enjoy Science-Fiction and Physics, you should definitely try this book out. However, I would rather recommend "Quantum Prophecy: The Awakening" if you really enjoy Mystery, Thriller and Science-Fiction. For a Neil Gaiman writing standard, this book definitely had disappointed me. The story was just not captivating enough to keep me addicted like what "Quantum Prophecy: The Awakening" did and it just kept me confused through out the entire story.
 Overall, I did enjoyed it on several occasions, but the story and the characters could have been better.

  A little reminder to all my book readers, I will be sitting for my Mid-Term exam for exactly 3 weeks so I would not be reading anything other than what my exam wants me to read.
