Review Of Beautiful Creatures By Kami Garcia

Improved Essays
I read the fantasy book Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia. It has 563 pages. Based on an Amazon review people say “I can't believe I just read all 563 pages in less than 2 days!!” This book is recommended for young adults and adults because *cough* it has some scenes that should not be viewed by younger viewers.

I’m going to explain the book's protagonist and her name is (cue the dramatic music) Lena Duchannes! She is a 16 year old girl who was born into a magical family. She is in 7th grade and she lives with her uncle the supposing town hermit who has never been seen. (Well people have claimed to see him).
Right off when she starts school she meets Ethan Wate. Now Ethan meets her by (picture this) he’s driving home in his car. It’s

Until Lena moved to his town that is. When she arrived no one knew anything about her except that she was the niece of the town hermit Macon Ravenwood. Ethan had a class with her and the other girls in his class noticeably bullied her. Lena got up and walked over the the sharpener and pretended to sharpen her pencil, but they continued and (her being magical and all) accidentally used her powers to shatter all the windows in the room.

The movie (in my opinion) was terrible! In the end instead of them continuing the adventure (like in the book) she wipes his memory. In the movie everything was out of order. In the book Seraphine Lena mother kills him by stabbing him but in the movie she has someone under her control who shoots him with a gun.

I rate this book 10 out of 10. This has got to be the best book ever created. What my favorite part is when she gets into a battle with her mother Seraphine. Her mother ends up killing Ethan to try and get her to join the dark casters. Then Lena rages out and covers the moon so she can’t turn evil. If you are a fan of magic and Good vrs. Evil then you should definitely read Beautiful

    In the book, however, it went into more detail about how distant she was with her father. In the end, both the book and the movie have many similarities and differences. In my opinion though, I like the book better than the movie, because it goes deeper with important details than the movie does. The main characters Julie and R’s character development doesn’t change the way their relationship turns out.…

    The theme that S.C. Hitin was saying in the book was Well it would stay gold and the meaning is that stay smart and never give up. Well some interesting fact about the book is that Pony was just writing a paper about his life just like in the movie at the start. I did not like the ending because it was all just a paper about his life. I also did not like how they never show who was who in the story. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the Book was more effective in telling the story.…

    There are many differences between the book The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson and the 1999 film, The Haunting, directed by Jan de Bont. The main characters in the film are, Lili Taylor as the timid Eleanor Vance, Catherine Zeta-Jones as the beautiful, frisky Theodora, Owen Wilson as the deceiving Luke Sanderson, and last but not least, Liam Neeson as Dr. Marrow (Montague in the book). Many argue that this movie barely follows with the book at all. Lisa Schwarzbaum, writer for Entertainment Weekly believes that the movie is just awful. Roger Ebert, writer for the Chicago Tribune believes “The story is a mess,” but also states: “To my surprise I find myself recommending ‘The Haunting.’”…

    It was a good movie because Mr. Sir was funny, he made our class laugh and I liked the part when they opened the treasure and got lots of money, it was a good climax to the movie. For the book, I give it a nine out of ten because it had lots of action when the warden stabbed Armpit and made him bleed. When the Warden hit Mr. Sir in his face and they found the treasure it did not cost as much in the book. I enjoyed reading the book…

    Ironically due to the storyline; the book is better than the movie, because it is shows better description, character analysis, and it gets the point across to the reader to show what leads up to the main idea. While, the movie it is more vague and fast paced so it's hard to comprehend the storyline. The book is more illustrative than the movie. For example, the…
