Well so far most of books are modern fantasy books with exception of The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Sister's Grimm: Michael Buckley
Fablehaven: Brandon Mull
Warriors:*Erin Hunter
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Douglas Adams
Well this one is classic and considered one of the best by Jack London,that's right I mean THE CALL OF THE WILD
The Call of the Wild
Author:Jack London(as mentioned at least once)
Year:1903
Publisher:Macmillan
Plot: 20/20 (Wouldn't seem very original now but I bet for like 1900's that was a good original plot,basically a dog named Buck who is pampered and spoiled rich is kidnapped by his owner's gardner and sold to dog sledders in Alaska during the 1898 Klondike)
Characters: 10/20 (The character's didn't seem to developed,Buck seemed like a hard emotionless dog,not that I blame him in the North at that time life was harsh but come on still he's ok. Spitz seems like an ok nemesis,Thornton was the first real caring caharcter but the other characters like Curly or Dolly or Perrault or Francois aren't o well developed you might completely forget them unless you read the book 10,000 times over and over.Do like Buck though)
Setting: 20/20 (I like the description of the locations like how he originally lived in "The Sun-Kissed Santa Clara Valley" to how the harsh cold ice was when those inexpierienced sledders made Buck lead")
Writing: 20/20(Good writing totally excellent,perfect writing for literature,honestly I"ve never heard of a book by London or Twain that had bad writing)
Final:18/20(It would be 17.5 but I usually round it off unless it's near perfect or it fits inbetween,anway the book is solid,perfect for literature I only wish the characters had more depth)
Up next post-wise is Batman Begins in Movies and book-wise J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series that's it for now
