Hipsy's View: Life of Death

Note: This review is also posted on Goodreads.com. It's basically the same review there, but I thought I post it here if any of you didn't have a Goodreads account. If you get a chance to read this book, I hope you enjoy it. You can find it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites.

I recently finished a book called Life of Death, and I loved it. I didn't know what to expect at first when I started reading this book. Then I thought I knew what the story was about; I thought it was the story about the life of an immortal. I was right...and wrong. This story is told in two views: the first is the view of a young woman and the other is that of a "fly on the wall". This is mainly a mystery. Usually, I'm not into mysteries, but since I have started writing my own type of mystery, I have started reading others' mysteries. And like many mysteries, this one is full of life, love, pain, anger, sadness, and death. This story could also be considered a thriller, if you read it like that. If what I just said has confused you, I meant to. This story is meant to be in YOUR perspective. What is the time setting of this story? The town setting? The race of the characters? What is the origin itself? The author left that decision to our own imagination, which makes a story always interesting and makes you unable to put it down. I give Life of Death a five star rating.

Hipsy's View: John Malkovich

This is my first view on an actor, and is more than likely not the last. John Malkovich, in my opinion, is one of the greatest actors known in today's entertainment society. Every character he brings to life is unique in its own way. One of my favorite characters Malkovich help bring to the movie screen was a character named Lenny. Lenny is a character from a book by John Steinbeck called Of Mice and Men . Lenny is mentally disabled, due to kick in the head by a horse when he was young. He's a big man who is more like child in his own way. In 1992, Malkovich starred in the the movie Of Mice and Men , along side with Gary Sinise (who also directed the movie). Just look at the video clip from the movie (the link after this paragraph) to see Malkovich's performance; those that have read the book may agree with me that his performance was great. http://movieclips.com/watch/of-mice-and-men-1992/lennies-dead-mouse/ One the thing I love about Malkovich's performances and ...

Hipsy's View: Matched

Well, today's the day I give you my very first review on a book I have read during my leisure time. I couldn't put it down, and though I had to begin classes today, I finished reading it within four days (which is like a record for me). So all of those of you that enjoyed Stephenie Meyer's The Host , I would certainly recommend that you read Ally Condie's Matched . Condie plans to write two more sequels to this novel, completing a trilogy by the end on 2012 (the second is rumored to be released November 2011, and the third on November 2012). As an avid reader myself, I must tell you, this book was GREAT!!!!!!!! Growing up, I was always told two things about books: One, never judge a book by it's cover, and two, never read the ending of book because you'll ruin the story and not be interested in it. Well, this may come as no surprise, but I usually break those two rules. It's habit for someone to judge a book by it's cover, plus I find it helpful to do...
