Books and Books

WOAH I can't believe I have done so much in this short holiday! :D
Let me recall, I have finished Assassin's Creed Revelations (can said ultimately), HALFWAY through completing ''Fireflies'' transcription on harp, finished Undang stuff, and read 3 books! I'm actually quite occupied every single day, some friends come to my house. I would probably go out again tomorrow, I think. This Friday, Saturday, Sunday, next Monday maybe and Tuesday will be fully occupied! Wow :)

THE DEATH CURE


The ending is well-concluded. WICKED Original vision did not come to fruition ; the blueprint never came together. However, they put into place an alternate solution. Instead of finding a cure to Flare, the leader of WICKED decided to move all Immunes to a better place, where they can begin civilization anew while the rest of the world is driven to extinction.

WICKED had conducted many Variables, implemented alternate solutions and executed different trials on the subjects, who are mostly Immunes. A crime committed against humanity, but not so, in desperation , to find a cure, to achieve the only goal : preserve the human race. But what they neglected to see was right before their eyes ; The Immune are the only resource left to this world.

Thomas, an Immune of course, is the main character who made the whole plot possible. My favourite characters!! Thomas, Brenda and Minho! :) Thomas and Brenda will make a good couple haha. I don't like Teresa, but she is dead in the end. ah .

I pretty like that part, when Thomas quoted :

"Sometimes they do things just to make me do the opposite of what they think I think they think I want to do."
"HUH?" confusion transforming their faces.

Thomas is SO CUTE! :) <3 <3 Anyway, pretty good book.

DIVERGENT
I finished this book in one day! :)
This reminded me of Hunger Games. Instead of dividing into districts, the society is divided into five factions : Abnegation (the selfless - in charge of political stuff), Candor (the honest - in charge of whatever honest? you know :P), Amity (the peaceful, in charge of agriculture), Erudite (the intelligent - in charge of technology, books, building etc.) and Dauntless (the brave - in charge of security). Each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue, in the attempt to form a "perfect society."

I notice the Author probably chose Dauntless because there are a lot to talk about. Brave about anything. Sounds really cool when Tris is a Divergent : equally Dauntless, Erudite and Abnegation. FOUR! He's so cute! He's my favourite character already in the beginning. I prefer Divergent than Hunger Games. but then I realised these two books are different. I still compare them anyway. Divergent is better than Hunger Games. Much. Less long-winded probably.

HEROES OF OLYMPUS : SON OF NEPTUNE

Less realistic? Of course what do you expect!
Monsters, weird creatures, giants, gods, goddesses. Roman and Greek stuff. But they are pretty interesting.
So not realistic. What I meant was, as if Death is the most common and carefree thing in the world. in THIS world. the world that full of monsters... well of course. What am I talking about? I dunno. confused.
Everytime Percy go for quest, it's like a picnic trip.. sort of. "Let's go to eat! Hungry!" "Shopping!"wow, they are really calm and all. but good thing, that's what make it funny.

I did not read the previous book, but I sort of know what's going on. The reason I don't want to read is there is no Percy in it. Well this book has Percy in it, something I can relate to the past.
In this book, Percy has lost his memories, being dumped at a strange place. Then he has to get to Camp Jupiter, a camp based on Roman culture. And so he met Frank and Hazel, new Roman heroes.

A bit boring in the middle. but pretty good in the ending. Percy rose to praetor! Mrs o'Leary is back! My favourite character! Percy of course! and Arion (consider he IS a character), the best horse EVER!

It would be pretty cool I can create a personal hurricane. In my state, I probably would drown myself (coz I dunno how to swim!), but not if I have Percy's ability. Muahaha! Percy is INVINCIBLE! Love him!

And yea. Pretty interesting.




oh and I have made a Assassin's Creed Insignia. Out of boredom :P

Carving Process. I took almost half day to do the particular carving. It's hard. coz it's clay.



Final Product!



TADA! I even encased it. My Masterpiece <3 <3

I took this Facebook Divergent quiz. Guess what I got?

Expected. not as outstanding :P Nothing special in particular.

And so and so. Better holiday ahead! I wish I have more good books to read!
