I surprisingly read a lot this week! I actually just finished like 100 pages and I'm about to go to bed. It's actually become a regular routine. I read like 50 pages and pass out! I'm happy with the way things are going. My favorite sections of the book is still with Dany and her side of the story. I can tell that she's gonna be a very powerful and influential character later in the story. I'm excited to read more.

I have ultimately decided to completely disregard anything I have previously stated about this book. I love it now!!! It's not like I didn't like it before because I did it's just that the excitement has arrived and it had been effectively provided throughout the past week of reading. It's like I was waiting for something to come in the mail and it has finally arrived. Such a great feeling. I can't wait to keep on.

The story is again getting to the point where there is not a lot of plot progression. Although each chapter is very exciting in its own positive way, I would like to see where the story is being taken. I can't see it right now but I'm sure if I keep reading, I will soon find out. I mean, I am only not even half way through the 800 page book. I don't know what I got myself into but I really do like how it's going.

The story continues to amaze me in every chapter that I keep reading. From brans awakening to the adventures of ned and Jon keep me reading and reading. Although I have little time to read, when I do read, I find myself no being able to put the book down. It's so exciting, especially the part that I'm in now. every character is in different places but Jon and his fellow companions on the wall is very interesting.

Well I haven't read much this week but I can say that each chapter that I have read each has its own elements of excitement. Although there is little plot progression within a range of about 50 pages, each 10-15 pages carries with it great joy that provides and excellent reading experience. I especially enjoy reading of Jon and his tales on the wall. Whatever it may be, there is definitely something I like in this.

So far, everything I've expected from this book has been seen throughout this book. A fantasy adventure with a hint of romance and drama. The perfect three genres mixed into one! I've also liked it so far because it changes from character to character, just in case I get bored of one. So far, it has pretty much just introduced all of the characters to me and it's very interesting. Each one is very unique.

After reading more and more of this book as the days go on, I can honestly say it has made a turn for the "worse". I am really not enjoying the book as much as I was in the beginning. In the beginning of the story, it was made to seem like there was going to be a great adventure story but I have only realized that it's very dry and not exciting...at all. Much of the story is boring to me. It's just not my cup of tea.

This story continues to excite me at every chapter. Although at times (like I have recently stated) the story can be boring, if you read through it, it's an amazingly told story. I've just read chapter 11,which tells of Bryson and how he runs out of bug spray. He looks at every store and none of them have any. He makes a dangerous trek to kmart only to find out they don't have any either. Really exciting stuff...

I am really enjoying the book so far. Although some what slow paced, Bryson seems to excite me at every corner of the book. I have just finished chapter 6, in which Bryson and Katz get stuck in a snow storm. They reach a path on the side of a mountain, to the left the mountain and the right, a sharp fall to frozen rivers and trees. This scene reminds me of one from lord of the rings. That is why I love it so much.

Weight and begin to realize what they have gotten themselves into.

So far, I am really enjoying the book. There's a lot of writing which creates a boring taste to the book but I can tell, so far, that the story will be great. The main character and author of the book Bill Bryson, is set to take a hike on the Appalachian trail. He begins to gather information on the trail, only to discover its true dangers. He contacts olds friends and only one friend wants to go. They are both over

All in all, pretty good book. I loved how the author was empathetic towards the whole situation but I also feel like something is missing. Throughout the book, the author notes that assani whines and complains about his own specific actions which make it feel unfinished. But other than that, I feel like it was a great book and it enlightened me on how intense and dramatic of a situation it all really was. Still good.

Throughout her trip to Africa, what is most strange, to me, is the child soldier situation and how she and assani handle it. She never refers to them as "child soldiers" because to assani, it is a part of his racial tradition and to call them child soldiers would be both offensive and provocative. Although it is a horrible way of life, the author would do nothing to jeaprodize her "vacation" in Africa.

so far, Lieve Joris takes us through the background of Assani, a young cowherd from the lowlands, who eventually leaves his small home village to go to the city. there, he discovers that he is ethnically tutsi. this will change his life forever. he is now dragged into an armed conflict that he has no desire to participate in. although opposed to it at first, he becomes a major figurehead in the ongoing conflict.

All in all, being a huge lord of the rings fan, this book really did it for me. It quenched my thirst for yet another epic fantasy novel that I allowed me to stay up late, reading and reading. What I liked most about the novel was the authors way of portraying bilbo as an innocent hobbit and evolved him into something greater towards the end of the novel, making him a dynamic character. I give this book 4/5 stars.

The thrilling adventure is continuing to amaze me and keep me reading at late hours of the night. Every ending to each chapter has only left me in desire to read the next.In what I've read since last week we find bilbo in the mines of the misty mountains, only to discover a lonely creature by the name of golum. Using his wit and cunning performance, bilbo is able to escape with his life and something else, a ring....

The story has increasingly gotten more exciting and darker at the same time. while Bilbo is discovering his true skill as a thief, the Dwarves are only just discovering the scope of their adventure. As of right now, the group of adventurers find themselves in a cave infested with goblins. after seeking refuge in a small cave on the side of a mountain, they were captured in the night and it is bilbos duty to save them

The latest event in the story has taken me to a dark forest. The group of adventurers stop for the night when suddenly the horses have been stolen by a mysterious entity. Bilbo and a few other dwarves go to investigate when they stumble upon three trolls who are about to happily feast on their ponies. Bilbo attempts to use his stealth and sneak past the ill witted trolls. i wont ruin it for those who plan to read it.

This story is amazing so far. Due to my love of fantasy epics, this awesome tale of a hobbit who takes on numerous obstacles has been nothing but a none stop thrill ride. from the quiet land of the shire to the enchanting city of Rivendell, the book has surely kept me on the edge of my seat.
