Books- Dan Dare Pilot of the Future by Frank Hampson

My 15 year old son is so in love with this series of adventure comics and the pictures are so decent that any parent need no fear of negative elements in his child's reading.

Please replenish your libraries with the whole set of this series of books which are so hard to find, in the midst of stacks of other gory, occult and sexually explicit books filling the library shelves which make visits to the library an anxious experience when young children tag along with me.

Books - Dan Dare Pilot of the Future by Frank Hampson

This is an enthralling, must-read series of space adventure for all people young at heart. My 12 year old son said it is the BEST series he has read so far with its tremendous stimulus to his imagination and wholesome way of spending his free time! Please promote this series among your young readers and please order the rest of the books in this series which are not available in your libraries. Thank you.

Books - Then by Morris Gleitzman

Rate the book: 9

This is such a gripping novel about the times during the holocust it is the second book after Once. THEN is so undescribable it blows you away to know what was going on during the holocust. It is a must read including the first story ONCE (to understand THEN you have to read ONCE first which is also a great novel)

The Genius that is EVONY. A couple weeks ago i was looking to download a movie from ..... when a very clever looking advertisement caught my eye. I curiously clicked it and up came the Evony website.  The first thing you will notice is beautiful maiden and an intense looking knight ready for action and a subtitle that reads "FREE TO PLAY FOREVER".  I was sold.  I knew i was in for a treat, but when i actually started playing i became even more delighted.  I was instantly hooked.  You are overseer of a town that you need to build.  And you need to do it hastily as other will be competing against you.  As a leader you need to make sure your town is prosperous by building the right amount of resource facilites.  You need to build enough housing to accomidate a rising population.  You need to build an army to protect all you progress from your fellow online gamers.  

It is a very relaxing and rewarding game.  And you can play it without anyone noticing.  I personaly have it rinning at work the entire day.  Every once and a while i will go to the game and build something new or learn new techniques at the academy and because it can take multiple hours to learn and build I can just go back to my regular routine knowing that my citizens are doing what i told them to.  It is very empowering.  At this stage in the game i am currently building my army getting ready to plunder from other towns and possible destroy a few.  You can make alliances, betray alliances, or go it alone.  And this is only the beginning.  Evony is in its early stages.  There is so much more to come.

But don't waste your time listening to me ramble on about this fantastic game because i could go on forever about all the detailed features of the game.  Just type www.evony.com in your address bar and have fun.  Did i mention it's FREE

Books - The Keys to the Kingdom Series by Garth Nix

Rate the book: 9

The first book in thsi series is Mister Monday. It is extraordinarily good and I would recommend it to anyone. It is about a boy named Arthur Penhaligon who is the Rightful Heir to the House, which is the epicentre of the universe. There is a Will by the creater of all, the Architect that Arthur must bond with and will help him fullfil it and defeat the Seven Trustees, named after the days of the week. Lady Friday would have to be my favourite by they are all great. If you love fantasy, you will love this. Recommended for ages 12-15.

thisgame is really good for teens 13ears and older. it is a fun online game where you can custonise your character and build them house's. you walk round and talk to friends on public or private chat and play games with friends or go look and rooms made by other people. it is really fun to play if you just want to chat. if you do play though, to get the best clothes and furniture, just like club penguin, you have to be a member and pay real money, but you dont have to be a meber and im not. by the way, if you do play and someone asks you asl? it means your age,sex(gender) and location (country) i hope you playthis and enjoy it.

Books - If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Rate the book: 6

17 year-old Mia's life is changed forever when a terrible car accident faces her with a difficult choice: to stay or go. The ideas behind this heart-wrenching story are original and inspired. However, this novel felt more like 196 pages of pure sadness which took away from the book.

This is an extremely well written story but one I would not recommend to the faint-hearted.

If you decide to follow Mia on this moving journey, make sure you've got tissues at hand.

Music - 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day

Rate the CD: 10

I love Green Day so much and personally, I think this is their best album ever! It has a perfect combination of slow, sad tunes and upbeat numbers. The lyrics are beautiful and the music is catchy. 21 Guns is my favorite song from this album- it's been stuck in my head for over a week.

Even if you don't think you like Green Day buy this CD! Buy it buy it buy it!

This game is an insult to php, 60% of the code for this game was burrowed form the-ninjarpg.com. The staff is very bad, one of the admin will ban you because you tell them that the code for his game is burrowed.

If you ever want to play a game i say do not play this one, play a far more better game.
