Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mary Shelley is profoundly an inspiration to writers that came after her. Reading Frankenstein was hard to understand with the words she used. It is written in comparison to something Charles Dickens wrote. There was prose and style of the time era. Imagination wasn’t closeted to just a small area but encompassed a whole theology of religion and philosophy of the universe. She brought about the question of where a soul comes from. The horrors in the book grip you until the very end when you sigh with relief it is over.

The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this read so much that I could hardly put it down near the end. The beginning had me yawning but near the middle it became more interesting. I was glad to see that Vlad wasn’t as bad as you think. There were great characters in this book and I can’t wait to read the next one.
