This is a really good book! I'm reading it in L.A. for a project! Woohoo! :/

This is a great book for all ages! The movie is great too!

This is a Disney adaptation of Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, except with a twist. The movie takes place in the future, where space travel is fairly common and humans live with aliens in peaceful harmony. Our protagonist is a rebellious, yet kind boy named Jim Hawkins. We follow Jim on his adventure to find the legendary Treasure Planet, accompanied by Silver, a good hearted cook and a fatherly figure to Jim, and Morph, a shape shifting creature who is also a prankster. Treasure Planet has beautiful animation along with some 3D incorporated graphics, and it is a great family movie that sadly goes unnoticed compared to other animated classics. Even if you have no background of the original book, I still recommend watching this movie if you have the time.

(This is a review of the original movie directed by Spielberg, not the tv series.) It is the year 2054 A.D., and for the first time in history, crime is virtually eliminated from Washington D.C. with a new technological breakthrough known as Precrime. This system lies on the power of Pre-Cogs, three exceptional humans who have the power to see into the future and predict crimes before they are committed. With Precrime, the law is able to stop murders before they are carried out, and bring the suspects to jail beforehand, thus creating a safe world where there are no serial killers running rampant. John Anderton is the main officer in charge of Precrime, and nothing can lead him to doubt the system's impeccability.....until one day, when the Pre-Cogs determine that Anderton himself will commit a murder in the next 36 hours. And if that isn't crazy enough, the victim is someone who he's never met before in his life. Now, in the race against time and the government, Anderton has to prove his innocence and find out what caused the flaw in the Pre-Cogs' visions, all the while getting closer and closer to the time of the murder.... This is one of the best science fiction movies out there, complete with amazing action scenes and a creative setting that constantly has you on the edge of your seat, leaving you clues in figuring out the mystery, only to contradict your guesses with unexpected twists and turns. Instead of reading the reviews that only complain about how the movie doesn't follow the original short story it was based upon, I suggest trying this movie out for yourself. I never read the short story, but I'm sure if you keep an open mind and don't compare the two, you'll very easily find the excitement and appeal in this movie, no matter how outdated it may be. Undoubtedly, this is one of the best science fiction movies out there, and I recommend to everybody who has a love for this genre.

Flowers for Algernon is one of those books that stands the test of time. Even though it was published in 1966, many of the concepts found within the story still apply today, and it really makes you think about how progressive the book is. The story centers around a retarded man named Charlie Gordon. Living in a world where retardation is often looked down upon, Charlie struggles to make friends and fit in with the rest of society, until one day, when he is presented with the opportunity to undergo a life changing operation to gain intelligence. Flowers for Algernon contains many themes based on psychology, ethics, religion, and identity, which are all woven into an intriguing and memorable story. If anyone chooses to read this book, I suggest picking up the uncensored version. Although it has mature themes, I feel like this book should be read to the fullest in order to not miss out on anything. Have a good day.
