In search of Harry Potter

I've read the book called "In search of Harry Potter" which is written by Steve Vander Ark. The book is unofficial and hasn't been approved by J.K. Rowling.
The writer, Steve Vander Ark, is the creator and founder of the HP Lexicon - the wizarding world's "Wikipedia". He has collected information from all around the world to form his educational and fascinating web encyclopaedia together.
In 2008 he decided that it was time for his network ideas to be printed in black and white.

"In search of Harry Potter" almost like a guidebook or travelbook describing all of the different and unique places in Great Britain from the Harry Potter stories. Steve Vander Ark himself travels around the whole British country, he goes to the capital city, London, to find Grimmauld Place, Little Whinging and of course the infamous platform nine and three quarters. He makes a journey to The West Country to discover The Burrow and the former Quidditch pitches. At the end of the book, on Vander Ark's final voyage, he goes on a serach for the bewitching Hogwarts Castle. If you want to know if he found it, it is better you reading the book, rather than me telling you the whole ending! :)

I was the first to order in the book to my local library, so eager I was to open the pages and completely devour the book. My high expectations were confirmed as I finished the book, it was all I wanted from it - to find the magic among all those places as Steve Vander Ark illustrated so thoroughly, and I did find it - the enchanting magic!

Blonde

The book I'm reading is called "Blonde" by Joyce Carol Oates. It is fictionary, but it was based on fragments of Marilyn Monroe's life. It is like Joyce Carol Oates created flesh, where there only was bones. It is really fascinating to read the book, even though the stories might be imaginary. You also get a picture of what Marilyn's life might have been like, and it feels like she becomes your friend. As the book draws to an end you feel very bittersweet, because you don't want it to end, even though you know it has to end. It's a fantastic book and is definitley worth a read!

This is a really good and interessting book that is full of adventures.

The Spook's Curse

The Spook's curse (Väktarens förbannelse) is the second out of 6 books. If you would like to know what the first book is about you can read my other post.

The Spook's curse starts with how Tom describes in detail, how he defets a very nasty boggart in the town near by. When the spook finds out that his brother had been killed, he and Tom head to Priestown where his brother is going to be buried. But Priestown is the favorite town for a Quisitor, a witchhunter who kills many innocent people in place of actual witches and would like nothing more than to get his hands on the spook.
But that is not all, Tom an the Spook has to try to find a way to defet the Bane

- a spirit of the dark that lives in the catacombs under Priestown. Influencing and corrupting the priests and pressing his victims flat to the ground. It seems to be impossible- especially when Tom finds out more about his master's background, in particular the rumours about a curse that has been placed on the spook since he first started the trade.

This is a really good and detailed book.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

I just finished reading "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"! It's by Mark Haddon. It is about Christopher Boone, a 15 years old boy who has Asperger's syndrome. He lives with his dad in England. His mom is dead. Christopher is a very unique boy.

One night he discovers Wellington, the neighbours dog, speared by a garden fork. Mrs Shears, the owner of the dog, finds Wellington and she put the blame on Christopher. That's when all the drama starts. Christopher does everything from hitting a policeman and getting a warning, to finding letters that's about to change his life, and the next moment he finds out his mom is alive! That's why he travels by his own, all the way to London ..

I think the book is okay, but it could have been more detailed and specific. Also I didn't think it had a 'real' story.

3/5

Jag finns, Maja-Maria Henriksson

This is a a chapter I made up by myself, for the book "Jag finns" in page 44.

Only after one single day I have totally emberresed myself infront of the new girl in the class. It was a big chance for me to finally get a friend, but as normally I destroyed it. I can't understand what is wrong with me, why isn't I like evrybody else? I sat quiet for a while and was just thinking for an answer, but I couldn't. There was no answer. I wasn't like everybody else, that was simply just how it was. I was maybe born to be different and bullied, I don't know.
I went in to our bathroom and just looked at my self in the mirror. "I understand why everybody hates me, just look at me, Iam so disgusting." I was so digusted by myself so I couldn't see myself in the mirror anymore. I threw the soap on the mirror so it became a big noise and the whole mirror splitted up into small peices over the whole floor. "Now I will also have 7 years with unluck, can't it get worse?", I thought for my self. My mom ran into the bathroom and screamed at me how stupid and bad I was. There a got an answer on my question; I get worse!

The spook's- Apprentice

The spook's- Apprentice is a great book if you like fantacy and a rough battle between good and evil. It is not a childish book and i really reccomend it. The Swedish title of the book is 'Väktarens- Lärling'. The spook's- Apprentice is the first of 6 books of the serie. The book is written by the auther Joseph Delaney and the settings is based on his home town in England.

It is about 13 year old Tom how lives on a farm with his large family. Because he is the seventh son of the seventh son he can see things other people can't. A beautiful day when every thing was nearly perfect a stranger walked on the Wrad's propperty. But what Tom didn't know was that that man was the man who would change his life forever.

The man's name was Mr. Jhon Gregory a man who hade a terrible job which Tom now had to take over. His job was to protect the world from gohsts, gasts, boggarts and witches. And now Tom has to go and be Mr. Gregory's apprentice to prepare him for all the evil that is about to happen in the world.

The first book you get to learn the best way to burn the skin of a witch and how to avoid the deathful claws of an boggart. You learn these things at the same time Tom dose, and in the other books, you can read about how he uses them.

Jag finns, Maja-Maria Henriksson

This is the first book Iam reading in books and blogs, it is a Swedish book called "Jag finns" by the author Maja-Maria Henriksson.

Johanna is trying to stand up but Vedin pushes her down again at the girl's toilet floor. She is trying to get enough courage to shout but she can't, she just sit there while Vedin hit her. After a long time Vedin finally went away after a violent time,
but Johanna couldn't move because her whole body were hurting.

That is how a normal day in Johanna's life looks like. All the other girls in her school have lots of friend and like to go to school everyday, but not Johanna. She is not like everybody else, in school she got beaten of two boys, and then at home her mother does the same.

The book "Jag finns" is a true story of the author Maja-Marias childhood. It is about how she try to survive all the horrible events in here life, with no support or help.

Now I have only read 20 pages, but Iam already totally stucked into the book! So I do really recomend it to everyone.

Blonde - Joyce Carol Oates

Hi. The book I'm about to read is `Blonde´, it's a fictionized memoir of Marylin Monroe's life. I think it will be very interesting, because it explores not only her adulthood, but also her childhood, and how she became the Marylin Monroe we know now.

This is a picture of the frontcover:

Recommendation!

I recommend a book called "Boy Overboard" by Morris Gleitzman. It's about a 12 year old boy from Afghanistan called Jamal and his 9 year old sister Bibi. Their family have broken one of the Taliban rules and the government is after them. So Jamal's family decide to run away. Of course they didn't want to, but they had to. Jamal's family plan to go to Australia for a while. But will they ever get there? To find out...read the book!

Jamal is a kind and caring person. He helps his sister no matter what happens. Bibi is a stubborn girl who always wants everything she asks for.

I recommend this book because there is lots of adventure and "family love" in this book which I like. I think this book is for adventurous people.

There is also a sequel called Girl Underground which is also quite good.
