Blood and Chocolate

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause

 Blood and Chocolate is a supernatural kind of book.It is about "werewolves". Specifically a teenage girl who falls in love with a human after reading a poem he wrote.The pack is against it because humans had chased them from their homes a year before.One night Viven shows her boyfriend her true form and it scares him. He breaks up with her and she does a few things to try and get him back.All the while someone is killing humans. Viven thinks it is her but it turns out that one of her friends and an older woman he is dating were trying to frame her.She is to become the wife of Gabriel who has now become pack leader. The end reveals everything.Her ex boyfriend is almost killed but she gets shot instead.Now she can't transform.But Gabriel helps her find a solution and they become a thing.

I liked the book.I had read some reviews where they didn't like that the mother was sleeping with Gabriel and then Viven becomes the head female wolf when she tried to defend her mother.I liked how she describes the feeling of being free while in wolf form.It was an interesting read for me. I would give 4 out of 5 stars.But I am in to the supernatural stuff.

Now the movie is totally different.It shows that Viven was a young girl when she was discovered and her family killed.In the book it was only her father that was killed.They were discovered because someone had seen one of them killing a girl.But in the movie it was because hunters followed her tracks to the house.So now she is feels like someone is always watching. She meets Aiden, a graphic novelist,who knows about the legends of her people but doesn't necessarily believe them. They start dating but her cousin Raf doesn't like it because she is promised to Gabriel for saving her when her parents died.She doesn't want to marry him.A big difference in the movie is they hunt as a pack but they hunt humans Gabriel had bailed out of jail.In the book they don't kill humans. Gabriel has Raf threaten Aiden but he fails and dies.Then it's this long thing where they try and kill Aiden because Raf is Gabriel's son.But he escapes and tried to help Viven after he stabbed her.In the end they kill Gabriel and run away to Paris.

Good movie but I wasn't a fan on how they changed so much of the information.I don't understand why she needed to be older and why the original story wasn't enough for a movie.I liked the book 100 times more.

The Kissing Booth 2

    Published in 2020 I have to say that this book dragged for me. I know that is really mean to say especially since Beth Reekles was so young when she wrote the first full book. There is a short about the summer in between the books. But yes it dragged. I felt like I was getting as much from this one as I did the first one. So Elle and Noah are a thing,out in the open now. He has left for college and she is starting senior year. Noah, who is actually pretty smart apparently, leaves early to start school. He doesn't want to talk to Elle about how school is going and actually avoids most of her advances to talk about it. She is struggling because there a rumors about her and Noah breaking up. Noah is tagged in a picture where he is pretty cozy with another girl. Elle doesn't really want to talk about it and assumes the worse. When she does finally talk to Noah about it she doesn't feel at ease. Lee does try to cheer her up but he is busy with football and his girlfriend. Le...

Forrest Gump by Winston Groom

    Published in 1986 Forrest Gump By Winston Groom I thought was going to be a favorite of mine because I love the movies so much . I was kind of disappointed. Sure it had it's funny moments and it made you laugh out loud a couple of times. But things became so unbelievable that it just made the book go down hill from there. So let's start with how Forrest went to a different school at the start. He was in a school for special kids but eventually ended up in a regular school. He has a hard time with being just normal. So his momma sets him up on a date with Jenny. He takes her to a movie and in his idiotic way messes it up so it makes it like he was trying to molest her and take her top off. So he gets in trouble and has to see a judge. So he has to go to college or be drafted into the military. He does go to play college football and meets Bubba there. Forrest ends  up meeting Jenny again and they become a band. He ends up failing out so they draft him into the mi...

I needed a break.

      First off I am really bad at this. I wanted to mostly write for me. I doubt anyone looks at this stuff or cares. But I took a long break. I had a lot going on. I quit a job and then got another job, had some family members get sick and die,and survived another deployment.       I have been reading and still continuing my yearly challenges but haven't been writing about them. I think I may start again. 2020 has been a horrible year and I am going to try harder in this next year. So I will be back tracking on the book that I read over my break and discussing what I thought and the differences between movies and books. If anyone reads these post please let me know if you have any book/movie suggestions for me to try and get through.      I will be jumping in and reviewing some of the books I have read in my long 3 year break. I am hoping to keep up on this as I really do like to write, even if no one reads it.
