Hey guys this is charlotte. You two are who I have been blogging with. I hope your readings are going well. I have been a little confused searching for both of your post with everyone else blogging on this website. We have read the book thief together and I think from here on out we are reading different books so I decided to just write to both of you at the same time hoping it will be easier.

I loved reading the book thief and grew really attached to the characters. I watched the movie and one of my biggest pet peeves is when the movie is so off from the book and I was really disappointed in the movie. I felt like they left so much significance out of the movie and I tried to tell my friends who I was watching the movie with how wrong the movie was. If you guys end up watching the movie I warn you.

After I finished reading the book thief I read “Frankenstein” . I went off our book list because I had to read that book for another class and couldn’t handle reading two books at once in a week. I’ll blog about Frankenstein and you two can blog about your books and let me know how you much like them or don’t like them.

I didn’t like Frankenstein because I thought it was way overly dramatic. The style of the book was romanticism. I like the style the book was written in. I have never read a book in the romanticism before so that was interesting. So Frankenstein is the creator of the monster not the actual monster itself. Frankenstein was a scientific genius and took body parts from corpses to create a living being. After he created the monster he just left and the monster ran away and Frankenstein just ignored the situation. The monster was sad because he really wanted companionship but was rejected by everyone. He ended up killing Frankenstein brother and a bunch of other people in Frankenstein family. The monster confronted his creator and asked for love and for him to create another monster for him but Frankenstein refused and hated the monster. I blame Frankenstein for all the trouble that went on in the book. I just didn’t like the book it was too dark and depressing and overly dramatic. You two might end up having the read this book in either high school or college but it’s short and easy reading.

The next book I am reading is angels and demons. I just started it and heard it was really good so I am excited to let you know how it goes. I would love to learn what books you two are reading and how you like them. Hope you guys are enjoying this reading/ blogging project. :)
