Review: Creator Class by K.M. Breakey

Still having trouble with links and pictures. Grrr. But I am looking at the Mediterranean Sea right now, and that makes everything okay.

Rating: 5

Synopsis: Decades have elapsed since The Creators inflicted their vision on the planet. The population menace is tamed, resources are plentiful, and climate concerns abate. A sustainable world order has been achieved.

But the rigid restrictions of P-Class torment Shawn Lowe. Movements are tracked, conversations scrutinized, conformity enforced. It’s wrong. The Laws of Earthism are wrong. When a treasonous outburst cements Shawn’s fate, an unexpected communication from Creator Class sparks changes he could never have imagined.

A new life. A new family. Boundless opportunity. Destiny, it seems, has been rewritten. But an evil nemesis emerges, and a lust for vengeance points Shawn down a treacherous path. 

Creator Class is the first book in The Creator Class Series.

My Review:

It is no easy feat to find a book that is completely awesome from cover to cover. In fact, I would say that it is quite difficult. What is easy? Falling completely for Creator Class, which is one of those books. I just finished reading the novel, and now I am writing this review looking out at the bright blue of the Mediterranean and the Sicilian skyline. And everything about that is awesome.

Creator Class is action-packed, interesting, intense, and unique. The way that all of the ideas are explained, even though they may be the 1984-kind of horrifying, make them believable. In fact, if you told me that this novel is not fiction, but an actual glimpse of the future, I would not have that much trouble believing you.

Another thing that I enjoyed was the point of view. So many books are told in the first person. Although that is not a bad thing, it is refreshing to read in the third person omniscient. Not only does one get a grasp of the characters, but the narrating voice uses a sense of foreshadowing within their descriptions.

Normally when I read novels, the main characters become annoying  while the supporting characters are the ones I fall in love with. As I read Creator Class, I enjoyed ALL of the characters, even the ones that completely suck as people. They were developed all so well, that it is hard to not. Even the psychopathic ones are such great characters that have so many layers to them.

The storyline that the novel has is interesting throughout, and keeps you flipping the pages, wanting more. Even now, that I have finished the novel, I still want more. There are so many ways that the story can be expanded, and I am definitely excited to see what will happen next.

With lines that makes a quote need like me drool, killer characters, and a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat (at least metaphorically), I highly recommend reading Creator Class, for you will not be disappointed.

Review of Easy "A" (Magic School USA Book #1) by Charlie Fey

I am currently in Firenze, Italia (Yeah, yeah, Florence) bringing you a review for this lovely book. Since I am posting on my iPod, my usual format is not able to be completely followed, and I can't update my review archive just yet, so I apologize for that. 

I would chat more but my shower has a light in it that changes colors. And that is awesome. 

It's the little things in life. Like this awesome novel I will now finally talk about:

Rating: 4

Synopsis: 

The Magic School USA series blends the supernatural action of Harry Potter with the outrageous fun of Animal House, all to bring you a story that is out of this realm WILD!


Richard "Vegas" Beltran is an underachiever. That's bad for any student, but it's especially bad when you go to a wizardry school. Black Magic is something to be taken very seriously, but Vegas has been caught smoking "eye of newt" in the boys' bathroom, and all of his bubbling cauldrons contain ice and alcohol...

The principal, Professor Diaz, is ready to drop Vegas into a slower-paced magic class. But Vegas would rather die, Houdini-style, in a botched escape act than have to suffer through "remedial magic."

After all, Vegas only came to Absolution Academy, school for the "Paranormal Sciences," to learn a spell that would bring his girlfriend, Katherine, back from the DEAD.

Unfortunately, now that his tuition's been paid, he finds that resurrecting the dead is an act of Godslaughter--a forbidden form of magic--and at Absolution Academy, an illegal activity. 
But "illegal" is a funny word... one among many that Vegas doesn't seem to know the meaning of...



**Easy A** 


Vegas is determined to find the spell he needs to bring his beloved back from the DEAD. His teachers warn him that it's a criminal act. Haters are motivators, and Vegas is sure he'll be able to do what even his teachers CAN'T. 

He strikes up a deal with creepy professor Allen Allens. If Vegas survives one night of "detention" in Dr. Allens torture chamber, Allen Allens will give Vegas a spell book that contains the spell he needs. 

...The forbidden Resurrection spell... 

And if Vegas doesn't pass the evil Doctor's death trap for teenagers? He can choose between being Allens' gorgeous young sex slave or face the cold grip of DEATH. 

...Death is the better deal. 

It's all or nothing for Richard Beltran and if he dies at least he'll never have to eat that sh*tty school cafeteria food ever again...

My Review:

Magic School U.S.A is highly entertaining, highly addictive, and will definitely leave the reader wanting more. 

It has been some time since I read a novel that made me laugh out loud on multiple occasions. But I highlighted every brilliantly comedic line in this novel, and at least half of the pages have some green sentences. The characters are all well-developed, adding their own unique personalities that adds to the story as a whole.

The humor is definitely one of the best parts of the novel, and will appeal to teenagers and adults alike. Certain parts are very parody, and will do a great job in brightening your mood (which is slightly ironic, giving the nature of some of the characters.) 

Fey has a great voice throughout the novel, and uses it well. From the beginning line of "Drop dead, motherfucker!", I was sure that this would be a novel I can enjoy, and I was right. Throughout reading, Magic School U.S.A will have you completely consumed with the characters, plot, and witty dialogue.

I want to thank Fay for reminding me that fart jokes are still hilarious, as well as for writing a truly wonderful comedy. It definitely made my long plane ride more enjoyable, and I think that is something magical.

I will eagerly await book two, hoping to see more of Seth, and am excited for the laughs that are sure to come.

To fans of magic, sorcerers, magicians, those who have a bit of an immature sense of humor, and those who have any sense of humor at all, I would recommend giving Magic School U.S.A a try.

Ciao!

I just wanted to say that, as of tomorrow, I will be leaving for Italy for 15 days of touring, then staying with family members until July 18th.

Because of this, I might take a little bit longer to reply/post reviews.

However, please still feel free to contact me, comment, send review requests, as I will still have Internet access at least once a day, and will have some downtime. 

I just wanted to make sure that, in case I don't reply immediately to anyone, you will know exactly why.

I hope that all of you are having a wonderful summer, and are able to do lots of writing and reading!

Let me know if you are traveling anywhere, we can exchange pictures!

Now, I have to go pack because I always wait until the last minute...I know, it is a bad habit, I advise against it...

Until next time,

Justine
