Quick Question

John brownridge
Hey guys! This is just a quick question. DO you think I should give Albrek's Tomb another chance? I stopped reading it, but I don't know if I should start again. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, go read my review of Albrek's Tomb)
Thanks!

The Mysterious Benedict Society

By Marlow Tracy For many of my elementary school years, The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart was my absolute favorite book. It had everything: solvable puzzles, engaging narration, quirky characters, and an adventurous plotline. Recently, I gave the book a re-read to see if it actually lived up to my childhood self’s admiration. The answer is a definite yes. The Mysterious Benedict Society begins when Reynie Muldoon, an orphan with a knack for solving puzzles, finds an advertisement in the newspaper that leads him to take a series of mind-boggling tests. Upon completion, he learns that he, along with four other children, has been recruited by a man called Mr. Benedict to infiltrate the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, or L.I.V.E, an academic institute with seemingly sinister intent. He joins Sticky Washington, a runaway who remembers everything he reads, Kate Wetherall, an acrobat with a red bucket, and Constance contraire,...

Why Albrek's Tomb Was a Disappointment (so far)

John Brownridge

      Adventurers Wanted: Albrek's Tomb, the third book in the Adventurers wanted series follows Alexander Taylor (goes by Alex) as he is requested by one of his old company members to find Albrek, a dwarf who went missing searching for new mines in the village of Thraxon.  Alex and his company have to go through many dangerous places to get to Thraxon in search of Albrek, and run into trouble along the way.        I really liked the first two books in the Adventurers Wanted series, Slagboth's gold , and The Horn of Moran. Slagboth's gold  and The Horn of Moran  were Alex's first two adventures, which introduced me to the fantasy world of magic and adventures, all throughout the book. It was fun to see Alex adapt from being a normal sixteen year old kid, to an adventurer on a quest to find gold, having to slay dragons in the process. I was able to experience getting to know magic in the world for the first time with Alex, and it was f...

Thing Explainer Review - Jashan Takhar

One of the hardest things to do right now is pass the time. Once you figure that out, then it's equally hard to to be invested in something that you actually enjoy and benefit from. Thankfully, by mere coincidence I had a lot of books from the library before the big break. While I like literature a lot, I needed a change in genre. Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe (the same man who created the online comic xkcd and wrote What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions)  isn't a story, but rather closer to a textbook about how things work. Literally, it lists the inner workings of different inventions. It meticulously labels everything about something, from the parts of a car's engine to even the parts of a tree. On paper, this sounds boring, but there's a catch: the entire book is written in with the 1000 most common words in the English language. That means that every explanation of something is brutally simple. For example, a helicopter is called...
