I read the entire Selection series and was seriously upset when I finished. Like the the Percy Jackson series and the Harry Potter books, I didn't want it to end. Nearly two months after I had finished the series, a friend told me that there were going to be more books! At first I wasn't sure what to think, because the series had seemed so resolved, but once I got over the initial shock, I was obsessed! I was on my toes, searching for the release date of the next two books every other day! When it finally came out, I had just spent all my money at the book fair. Luckily, somebody let me borrow the book, just the other day. I was over the moon! I immediately started it, and couldn't put it down. I finished it the next day (sadly), and can honestly say my only complaint is that the next book isn't out yet. :'( I loved reading through and meeting the children of all my favorite characters, catching up with them, and reading Maxon and America's reactions to what goes on in Eadlyn's selection. I can't wait for the fifth book, five stars all the way!

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!! In the third book of the Selection series things really heat up. Towards the start of the One two Northern Rebels, August and Georgia, come to visit Maxon and America. During the meeting, the rebels told Maxon that they could help get rid of the Southern Rebels. They also say that they would like Maxon to try and eliminate the castes. The rebels and America and Maxon get along fairly well and part ways with a new ally. Also, in the third book America finally starts to make friends with the rest of the Elite. Anyways, America soon faces yet another challenge called the Conviction. During the Conviction each of the Elite are supposed to help sentence criminals, but America doesn't see this as fair. While she thinks there should be justice, she also doesn't agree with the man she is punishing's sentence time. He was supposed to go to jail for life for stealing clothes for his daughters. Since America sees this as unjust she gives the man the super expensive earrings and bracelet Maxon gave her, and the bird necklace her dad gave her to pay for his crimes to the King. This makes the King hate her even more. A little later in this masterpiece book America and Maxon decide that they need to speak to August and Georgia again. With a little help from Aspen the couple gets to talk to the rebel leaders, and on their way of leaving they get attacked by the Southern Rebels. America gets shot and Maxon helps her escape into the streets alone. She runs into an alley way cradling her wounded arm and meets an eight named Paige. Paige stays with America until Maxon soon arrives. America then asks Maxon if Paige can come work at the palace for helping her and the Prince agrees to it. Paige was very happy to be off the streets and into a much safer place. Then, right before Christmas the book takes an extremely sad turn. (EXTREME SPOILER COMING UP!!!!!!!!!) America's father dies of a heart attack. While America travels home to mourn her Dad, Maxon sends both Celeste and Elise home to narrow the Selection down to Kriss and America. After returning to the palace she and Maxon have a very intimate night together and the Prince tells her he is going to choose her. Then when she was trying to tell Aspen that she and him are officially over Maxon catches her touching his chest. She meant the touch as a sort of push to emphasize what she is saying to him. However, Maxon thinks she is with Aspen and tells her that he will now choose Kriss. Finally, in the end the Southerners attack and Maxon gets shot in the chest protecting America. He realizes that he loves her and that he is willing to die for her. So finally after the attack ends, Maxon is okay, and proposes to her as the new King (both his Mother and Father died) . America says yes and she and Maxon were married. I loved this book and highly recommend it to 7th graders and up. Kiera Cass is an amazing author. You NEED to read the One.

Before I start I will warn you that this review CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! I recently watched the BFG and loved it! Sophie (the main character) and the BFG (the big friendly giant) were super lovable and gave a great example of unexpected friendships. This movie told a wonderful story about the BFG and Sophie who meet after Sophie sees the BFG spreading dreams in the witching hour of the night. After taking Sophie with him to Giant Country, and bringing her along to catch dreams to spread, the other 8 mean, children eating, giants realize that the BFG has a kid with him. Sophie and her giant friend then go to the Queen of England for help to get rid of the bad giants. After asking the Queen for help, the evil giants were taken to a place where they couldn't cause much trouble again. This movie may have had a few slow parts, but I still loved it. The special effects and settings were beautiful and the plot was sad, fun, and quite funny all at once. In conclusion, the BFG was a great film that I really liked. This movie is sure to be a family favorite and I recommend it to all ages.

The BFG was a fun movie to watch. I enjoyed the special effects as well. However, the pacing of this movie dragged. About the first hour of this movie I was still waiting for something to happen. Then, something does. I wasn't thrilled about this film, but I did like the special effects. Steven Spielberg directed this movie, with John Williams as the composer. These are two people that I've admired for a long time. But for some reason, I couldn't feel the music in this one. John Williams is known for his incredible scores that get stuck in peoples heads, such as Star Wars, and Indiana Jones. For this film, I felt that the music just dragged with the other parts of the film. For a movie, the background music is there to keep it going when there's not as much going on on the screen. It's there to add suspense to the big events happening on the screen as well. I didn't feel that this score did that. However, the movie does eventually pick itself up. This wasn't a serious film, it was a fun film. Just a movie that you watch, and it makes you feel good about yourself. It's an okay family friendly film for all ages to enjoy. I think you should watch this film, because it's worth watching. Just beware that the beginning starts off a little slow. However, It does eventually pick up.

Finding Dory is a great movie. It tells the story of how Dory lost her family in the first place and about the journey she takes to find them again. This film is also full of humor due to the grumpy, but hilarious octopus Hank, the anxious beluga whale Bailey, and the positive and fun whale shark Destiny. To add to this movie's amusement most of the old gang was back inculding Marlin, Nemo, and of course Dory. Finding Dory had some sadder points as well, like when Dory can't find her parents or can't seem to remember them. The animation was spotless too. The plot of this film was captivating, and I enjoyed watching the story play out on my TV screen. In conclusion, Finding Dory was an amazing story with lots of ups and downs that made me want more. I recommend this movie to adults and kids of all ages.

This movie was pretty good. The characters were compelling and funny. The story was action packed, but still interesting, and I loved the idea of criminals becoming heroes as well. Suicide Squad showed the backstory of all it's characters, allowing it's viewers to feel for the villains and basically pick their favorite. Personally, my favorite member of the Suicide Squad was Deadshot because of his humor and the good ways he interacted with his daughter. I also liked the passion he had for his daughter. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat and I really liked it. However, while the story was good, it had a few things missing. For example, the Enchantress was supposed to be a part of the squad but then went rouge and became the main antagonist. I was a tad bit confused because the Suicide Squad wasn't originally planned to stop the Enchantress since she was supposed to be a part of the team, so what was the squad for? I realize that they were probably to stop terrorists and other threats, but that was somewhat unclear. Otherwise this movie was great! Overall the story was okay, the characters were awesome, and the action and story balanced out perfectly. I really enjoyed this movie, but would recommend it for 13 year olds on up due to disturbing behavior and lots of violence.
