wreck this activity book

I got an activity book from a Kid's Meal from Wendy's.  The theme is road trip activities.  Cool because I'm reading Jack Kerouac's On the Road for English.  I even made a playlist for it.  Road Music But most of the activities just apply to long road trips and you can get anywhere you need to be in Guam within 30 minutes.  So I decided to wreck this activity book with my lame art. Yes I got the idea from Wreck This Journal.  And this is cool because I'm not spending $10 or whatever on a book telling me how to art.  I may lack creativity, but I know how to art.  Here's what I've made so far. 

kite in the sunset

 ghost in the sunset

 space girl

It needs love- a poem by me

It needs love

Rock star from another dimension

Trapped inside a clown costume

Tall and dark and broken but

He’s been painted bright and jolly

But the make-up can’t cover his woe

Or his battle wounds

He needs something beautiful

He needs something great

Something he doesn’t know

He just stares at the big Ferris and

Waits for something—anything to lighten his darkness

Breathing in the carnival lights, exhaling the nicotine

Then he noticed her

Gentle and mature…beautifully weird

So he followed her to see what she’s about

To understand her soft gaze and her sweet way

To taste her soul and feel her beauty

He wanted her

He needed her

 

The Mask Book Review

The Mask is a novel written by the Master of Terror, Owen West.  It is about a loving woman named Carol who wants to start a family.  Her and her husband Paul don't believe in ghosts, but haunting situations test their skepticism.  The first half of the novel was strictly setting the scene and it sort of dragged.  This story was interesting, but the style that it's being told was a little tasteless.  This is one of his earlier works and he was still developing his style.  The plot twists weren't all that shocking, but I don't want to compare him to Stephen King.  Owen West is his own man.  Owen West is the Master of Terror.  Owen West is Dean Koontz.
I bought it for 50 cents at a book fair a few months ago and I decided to really read it a couple of weeks ago.  Overall I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

"The Mouse on the Mile" Review

This is the second serial of Stephen King's "the Green Mile" serial novels.  

This story was a little hard for me to follow, because of all the characters and situations that were taking place.  A lot was happening in those 92 pages.  John Coffey (the serial novel's magic man) doesn't play a big role in "the Mouse on the Mile" and that was a letdown for me.  This serial just focuses of life on the mile before Coffey and how Mr. Jingles (the mouse) started off in the mile.


I rate this book 3.5 out of 5 stars.


I bought this one, and serials one and three, at a book fair for 50 cents each.  I finished the first book a few months ago and school has been ruling my life, so I just got back to this.

The Shining Book Review

I've been reading it on and off but I've finally finished the Shining by Stephen King.  It was a long read and it seemed to drag a bit.  The last 200 pages was when the action started to rise.  The author wanted to set the scene and every paragraph is full of imagery and atmosphere.  This was one of King's earlier works, so I believe his writing style was still developing.  Overall well-written.  3.5 out of 5 stars.
