The Rules of Life

This book is pretty good. I saw it at the airport bookshop, read a few pages and was totally intrigued. It's a good read for people who are feeling a little lost in life and need a little guidance.

But I broke the first rule already. Haha... But do have a read if you do get a chance. I'm only at Rule 20. There's still more rules to go. Living up to them will be another challenge. ;)

Artemis Fowl - Opal Deception

Another kiddy's book. It must be a trend, or i just can't cope with more difficult stuff!

It's another instalment of the adventures of Artemis Fowl, the criminal mastermind who this time uses his intellect to save the world. The story blends fairy world and human world, using the most sophisticated technology both worlds have to offer (i particularly like the solar-mill.. wind-mill with solar panels - now why haven't we thought of that? ;p).

Maybe it's best if u read the previous instalments first to read this. Needless to say... i have. hey, it's so easy to read!!

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

First of all.. my paperback version is 1000 pages long! It took me a while to actually finish reading it. The beginnings were quite dull.. rather like reading a history book, with footnotes and references. But i believe (having gone through the book) that it is necessary to set the scene and the characters of the story, so be patient!

The story talks about 2 wizards and their quest to revive magic in England, where it has been lost for centuries. In doing so, they've had to overcome plenty of obstacles e.g. the acceptance of the public, the distinction between good and bad magic, the practical use of them, war and most of all, they have to overcome each other's diferences in opinions.

The book is about magic but the author has beautifully woven it into everyday life, depicting the tensions and relationships between human beings - the pretty and the ugly. It is a wonderful read. just remember to allocate plenty of time to it!

Digital Fortress

Dan Brown's frist thriller. The story is frightening real, full of twists, deception, betrayal, patriotism, love and it delves into the complexity of right and wrong in complex situations.

The thriller is about the NSA's (National Security Agency) multi-billion dollar, invincible code-breaking machine encountering a strange code that it is unable to break. This unbreakable code would cripple US intelligence if released. As its head crytographer investigate more, she found herself betrayed from all sides and have to fight alone for herself, the agency, the country and the man she loves.

I had a fun adventure reading it - it's almost like watching a movie. Definitely a must-read.

Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe

Thought I'd start it off, with a book I just read recently. :) I know, it's a kid's book but I've never read it before and really wanted to read it before the movie opens.

The book is really simple to read (obviously), but the story is exciting. Can't wait to see it on film. Which I will be heading to watch on Thursday. :) I have a feeling the movie is gonna be much more exciting than the book.
