A Short Post on Teen Wolf



     As I anxiously await the Teen Wolf finale this Monday, I have to say that I'm a little sad. After this episode, I will have to wait until January 6th for the show to come back on and I don't know if I can. The characters on the show are so funny and original. The plot is always new and exciting, each episode leaves me with my mouth wide open! Teen Wolf perfectly balances the seriousness, the violence/action, the romance, and the comedy, for a blend that is truly special and exhilarating.

Wow,The Next Few Months Are Going To Be Awesome


      I have come to one extremely deep and important conclusion, wow the next few months are going to be awesome.  As the book nerd that I am, these upcoming months are going to be spectacular and that  is because of so many reasons. So now I am going to  list the reasons for the upcoming months' awesomeness:

#1: August 2013: The Fault in our Stars movie will begin shooting.

      As you may know Fault is my favorite book. I am however concerned about the movie, because I don't want it to be bad portrayal of such an outstanding book. So, I have mixed feelings about this one, but I am trying to keep a positive attitude, who knows, it might be a great movie. So this could be awesome or it could be disastrous.

#2: October 22, 2013: Allegiant, the final book in the Divergent Trilogy comes out.

     Since finishing Insurgent, I have been forced to wait five months for the final installment in the Divergent Trilogy.  Thank the lord, I only have to wait two more.  I am so psyched for the book! Hopefully it will be as good or better than the other two. The one thing I'm worried about though, is that with the new format (dual narration by Tris and Four),  the book will be not as good.  With that aside, I can hardly wait until October!

#3: November 22, 2013: Catching Fire the movie comes out.

    Being the Hunger Games  fan that I am, it's needless to say that I am extremely excited for the Catching Fire movie. I thought the first movie was an excellent adaptation from the book, and I am confident that this one will be too.  Judging by the trailer (which was fantastic, click the link to watch it), I think I'll be right.

#4: February 14th, 2014: Maze Runner the Movie comes out.

     As you can tell from yesterday's post, I am a huge Maze Runner fan, and I can't wait until the movie comes out. One of the reasons why I can't wait, is because Dylan O'Brien is playing Thomas. I am a big Teen Wolf fan and O'Brien's character Stiles is my favorite. I think he will make a great Thomas. I just want to see the movie!!!

#5: March 21, 2014: The Divergent movie comes out.

    I love Divergent and Insurgent, so having the first film come out is so exciting! I think the actors that were picked are great, and I think the movie will be really good. I love the idea of the Divergent society, and can't wait to see it and its characters come to life!  

   
See what I mean about the next couple of months being awesome?

I Want to Be a Glader.... And Other Maze Runner Trilogy Thoughts


 ****Contains Spoilers from the Maze Runner Trilogy****
   
    In the past few days, I have finished the Maze Runner Trilogy. I thought I would like it, but I was wrong. I LOVED it!!! I was so  surprised , because it was creepier than the books I usually like. I loved everything, the characters, the plot,  all of it! The books left me with one thought, I want to be a glader. Of course I  don't want to be thrust into a dangerous maze, with a Flare-infected world around me, but I want to be friends with the gladers.
      
    First, I love the way those shucks talk. (God I love saying that.) I think the way that they speak  normal English with some of their own phrases mixed in, is a cool little twist from James Dashner. I think saying things like "good that" and "slim it" are fun and I loved all their other lingo as well.

     Beside the fact that I love the way they talk, I love them! Minho is my favorite character, because he is so funny and brave. I love his personality. I think all the characters are really well written. Thomas is a strong main character, he is relatable and likable. Although  the books are male dominated, I like how Dashner put in strong female characters like Theresa and Brenda. Plus, at the very last minute, a woman saves them all, Ava Paige.

     Besides the lovable characters, Dashner throws in so many twists that it keeps it interesting. All the way to end surprises keep coming. I never expected throughout the entire series, that Theresa would die. I always thought that she would be safe. Also from the beginning, I would've bet money that Thomas and Theresa were going to be together for like ever. The way Dashner slips Brenda in makes it  a very subtle love triangle. (I'm "Team Brenda" by the way, I just never thought it was going to happen.)

    Through all the tragic deaths that practically killed me, to the endless plot twists, the Maze Runner Trilogy is phenomenal. The characters are witty and original and the plot has never been "done before".  The whole series is amazing, and I can honestly say that I love it as much as Hunger Games and Divergent, although Harry Potter still wins.
