Hi! I'm Icy.
Chatterbox: Blab About Books
Hi! I'm Icy. I'm new to this section of cricket, but I love Kyngdom.
I'm also HP's 11th top fan.
But anyways.... This post is for haters and fans alike to have talks. I know, it seems hippie but its NOT to have rants on... It's to have peaceful discussions about the books. If you hate it, then don't get mad at the lovers!
If you love it, don't get mad at the haters! Or please try not to! Erm, anyways... This post is for discussion about Narnia, Fablehaven, Harry Potter, Lord of the rings, and Percy Jackson.
Doesn't it sound like all of these will get confused and jumbled up if they're all on the same thread?
Yup! Now let the talk begin!
I for one, am a Christian and like Narnia. But, some of the books in Narnia are a bit..well...odd. The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader was way better as a movie, whitch is pretty crazy because, well.... Whenever you finish watching a movie and are like "Hmm, I like that..." Someone comes barging in on you and screams "THE BOOK WAS WAY BETTER!" The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader was sort of strange... Like the things with the big feet? Totally weird and well...uncalled for. Could they have introduced Lucy's fears without it being, well, so weird? Totally. Also, I like HP better. People keep on screaming that Narnia is better because it is Christian. I am Christian, but I think that some of the books were poorly written. Also, The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe FTW!!!!! (I was kinda sad about how he made Susan into sin)
Harry Potter: Ok, maybe the first book (and only the first book) was a TINY BIT flat. But just an eeensie tiny bit flat! I was motivated to make this thread because I had seen the hater rant. There should never be an entire thread dedicated to rants! Maybe a good ol' rant is good once in a while, but not an entire thread. Thanks! ;)
Percy Jackson: Okay, the main charecter broke all sorts of stereotypes. For Example: 1: He wasn't all bold and saintlike all the time. 2: He wasn't super OP (Over-Powered) I love how he got the water power. Like, it wasn't very strong, but then again, it was. 3: Rule-Breaker FTW! That one is pretty self-explanatory. Also, Percy isn't exactly a normal kid like Harry started out as. Well, Harry was a slightly under-normal kid.
Lord Of The Rings: Tolkien gets a bit wrapped up in his universe that he created that he sometimes forgets hes telling a story. But I love Galadriel!
Fablehaven: I couldn't find any flaws, except that they sort of downplayed Seth. Kendra gets these awesome fairy powers and kills the demon king. Seth..well...he gets these powers that don't come fully mature (like Kendra's powers, which came in fully mature and ready) and well... It would make more sense for Seth to be able to see in the dark. But the dragon tamer thing when the both of them come together? Good stuff!
And now, it's your turn.

Heh, I guess.
So, let's get together and look at each book-together this time. Now, let's try to look at these questions-and maybe we can get some good insight together!
1. What are some themes that we see in each book?
2. What characters would you Ship together if each book was smashed into one? Sorry, immature Icy question there.
3. Which character is a good role model?
and more that AREN'T boring and Icy!
Sorry I haven't tended to this thread in a long time...I was on vacation for a week!
