I think I’ll start with Happy new years eve. I don’t know about you but for some reason it feels like I haven’t written a review in a while, but I guess with Christmas it feels like that to me. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and got lots of books. This weeks review is going to a bit different than my normal reviews. I don’t have a book to review, well I sort of do but I’ll explain throughout the blog.
For Christmas I got ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ the book set which is made up the thirteen books written by Lemony Snicket, Which I’m sure you’re all aware of. As you can see that’s a lot of books to review in one blog, for one week. So I was thinking that every second week It’ll be, Lets say .. ‘Lemony Snicket week’. It may take a few second weeks but I think it will be easier to review them all then and since the books are quite small I’ll be reviewing two or three a week. Hope that’s alright with you.
I didn't want to leave you with no review at all this week and just me talking on about next weeks review. I thought I might as well review something I got that I read in maybe twenty minutes, It may not seem that long but I really enjoyed reading it.
It’s not exactly a book as such, It’s a poetry book. I’m not very into reading poetry but I do love Tim Burton. ‘The Melancholy Death of Oyster boy & Other Stories’ Written by nun other than Tim Burton himself. I have to say that it was really very amusing. I would recommend if you like Tim Burton or enjoy poetry that you give it a try.
I’ll write a few poems down, in replacement to quotes.
STICK BOY AND MATCH GIRL IN LOVE
Stick boy liked Match girl,
he liked her a lot.
He liked her cute figure,
he thought she was hot.
But could a flame ever burn
for a match and a stick?
It did quiet literally;
he burned up pretty quick.
MELONHEAD
There once was a morose melonhead,
who sat there All day
and wished he were dead.
But you should be careful
about the things that you wish,
Because the last thing he heard
was a deafening squish.
SUE
To avoid a lawsuit,
we’ll just call her sue
(or “that girl who likes to sniff lots of glue”).
The reason I know
That this is the case
is when she blows her nose,
Kleenex sticks to her face.
If you liked them you should read the others for example, “Robot Boy”, “Voodoo Girl” or “The boy with nails in his eyes”.
I must say that the illustrations were the best part, if you have seen Tim Burtons drawings before you’ll understand where I'm coming from, if not you must go and look them up now, they’re incredible.
Okay, so next weeks review will be the start of “Lemony Snicket week”, and then that’ll be every second week for a while. Hopefully it works out.
