Earth-Shattering Poems Edited by: Liz Rosenberg

This book is really interesting. It is full of assorted poems about many different things. Many different authors and they are all from different time periods. Some have even been transleted from many different languages.
It is a really short read only 89 pages long. Alot of the poems are very deep in meaning and others are coplicated. Especially the Haikus. But I usually hate poetry and all together this book wasn't that bad.

Black Book of Secrets By: F.E. Higgins

This book was one of the best I have read. I couldn't put it down. By looking at the cover you might think it is about dark thoughts(goth). It's not, it about proving that everyone has a secret. This book is also about trust. This book is based off some accient texts that in parts you couldn't evn read. There is proof that those stories could have been true. Make no mistake this is non-ficiton, someone had to fill in the missing parts.

Ludlow escapes the deadly fate his parents had planned for him. When he reaches the place he has come upon, he meets a mysterious man(Joe Zabbidou) who is arriving on the same night. Joe Zabbidou makes Ludlow his aprentice. Together they help many people. To find out the rest read the book,(I got it from the school libary) besides my blog entry probably dosen't do it justice.

The ending of this book is terrible on the surface. To relize what the author was getting at you have to look at the deeper meaning. Ithas you make alot of assumptions. You kinda pick your own ending.

It has Gywn leaving his mother to decide his own future. Allison becomes ill as the 'force' combines with her soul. Her stepbrother Roger saves her by telling her that she is flowers, not owls. Flowers fall from the ceiling and the cycle ends.

The Owl Service By: Alan Garner

Pages 1-120

I have only read half of this book so far. From what I have read this book is amazing, the plot is so wild and imangitive. Something you have never seen before. The tittle makes more sense as you go farther and farther into the book.
