Just pausing to think

                               Just pausing to THINK



(This will just be a short report. This is not written to offend anyone it's just my own opinion.)

1) Why do humans believe everything the goverment tells them, no matter how improbable?

2) Why does every book that was turned into a movie, labeled as "Now a major motion picture"? Surely not every movie can be a major motion picture!

3) Why does the USA finance all the countries that fight Russia?

4) What is actually the point of life? Surely we aren't here just to chill our whole lives long.

5) Look at our finger prints. There's only one finger print for each finger, and none get repeated again anywhere!

6) Will humanity ever stop war?

7) How will the world look like in 100 years? Will there be corruption and sadness everywhere, or will there be happiness and joy all over the earth?

8) Isn't it true that the goverment calls all people who go against them terrorists and whatever they do is counter-terrorism like David Cromwell says in "Why are We the Good Guys?"

The Lord of the Rings (Collective review) P1

      The Lord of the Rings (Collective review) P1

                    By J.R.R Tolkien

(Please note that this review is not intended to hurt or offend anyone. All that is written here is my opinion.) 

99% of authors nowadays just write for money and entertainment not because they have a gift or talent for writing, or because they want to put their views and thoughts on paper. 
99% of books nowadays are just written for entertainment or money, not to provoke thought etc.

Tolkien didn't write "The Lord of the Rings" to get money. He did not expect money to come rolling in. He just wanted to write LOTR for his friends and family, and to put his imagination on paper. 

People often complain: 
1) That LOTR is too long. Tolkien said once that with a novel that is as long as LOTR people will find something that they don't like. He wasn't really bothered.

2) That it has got too much description. But that's exactly what made it on of the most influential books of the twentieth century. If it just had action all the time it would be just one of the average fantasy books you get nowadays, and not very educational. LOTR is also seen as one of the most educational books of the twentieth century.

3) Some people even said that Fodo and Sam are gay. Now that is absuloutely ridiculous! Let me just mention that in those days being gay was being happy and not homosexual!

Obviously I have watched the movie like everyone else, and I think some things are better than in the book and some things are not as good as the book.


Improvements on book:
 1) The chapter "The Scouring of the Shire" is pretty anti-climatic so I like the movie in this respect more. 

Improvements on movie:
 1) I don't really like the part where instead of Glorfindel Arwen comes.

The Guns of Navarone (review)

                                     The Guns of Navarone

                                    By Alistair Maclean

Praise for Guns of Navarone:

"Action sustained at high pitch. From the outst the is a feeling of suspense... an insistenly gripping tale" Scotsman

"Its strength comes from the speed of its narrative, its vivid creation of tensions, and its power in handling descriptions of action."  Evening Standard

"Could hardly be bettered" Sunday Times

Twelve hundred British soldiers are isolated and waiting to die on the small isand of Kheros, off the Turkish coast. All these lives could be saved if nly the vigilant, savage and catastrophically accurate guns of Navarone could be silenced.

Navarone itself is a grim iron fortress, manned by a mixed garrison of Germans and Italians. To Captain Keith Mallory, skilled saboteur and trained mountaineer, falls the task of leading the small party to scale the vast, impossibe precipice of Navarone to blow up the guns.

This book is just simply amazing! It's just written like a movie script; the action, the language, 
and the atmosphere is just a dead ringer for a Hollywood Blockbuster. Besides being a war novel it's such a thriller it will make you lose track of the time and just keep turning the pages.

Defenitely recommended for anyone 13 years and up and who have guts for tons of violence and gore!

You can purchase the book here (Amazon UK) :
