One day, a young farm boy named Eragon
finds a blue stone while hunting and tries to sell it for money. Unsuccessful
in his attempts, he takes the stone back to his cabin and lets it sit
there until it hatches into a beautiful
blue dragon. Eragon realises he can talk to this secret pet dragon with his
mind, and eventually learns that he and the dragon are part of a legacy of
secret heroes called the Riders.
With the help of Brom, a wise man,
Eragon matures into his destiny. The challenges he face include fighting along-standing war, helping
an ethereal elf, and dealing with tragedy and
revenge.
Certain details, such as Eragon’s
revelation that he cannot read, develop this rich work and blend together to
produce a number of plot twists. The story builds suspense steadily until the
end.
Remarkably, author Christopher Paolini
began writing Eragon at the age of 15. Now 19, he has already established
himself as an exciting new creator whose influences include Tolkien, McCaffrey,
and others. His world is intricate, his characters believable, and his writing
engaging.
Both casual readers and hardcore fans
of fantasy and science fiction novels will be enchanted by this well crafted
fantasy and unquestionably will look forward to parts two and three of this
exciting trilogy.

Get Married

.
Suddenly, it comes to a moment when Mae is persuaded to grant
her parents’ wish to have a grandchild. Mae’s parents, (Meriam Bellina dan Jaja
Mihardja) firmly state that Mae must get married in a little while. Soon, they
are busy finding candidates who would marry their only daughter. However, along the process of
finding the right one for Mae, the three male friends of Mae turn out to be brutal evaluators for the
candidates. In the mean time, Mae falls badly in love with Rendy (Richard Kevin), a rich, handsome
and kind-hearted man. Unfortunately Rendy, Mae, Guntoro, Eman, Beni are brought
into a misunderstanding, and soon fights break out between the two groups of
Mae and Rendy.
Written based on some of youngsters’ real-life brotherhood
experiences—this story will stir you to your emotional core while bringing out
your sense of brotherhood. There are a lot of little things and big things that
make this movie worth watching. The story is good, the banter is great, the
relationships between the characters are great, and it’s a fun time at the
movies. While some of the jokes are amusing, some of the fights go on a few bit
too long.

v
While some of the jokes are amusing, some of the
fights go on a few bit too long.
If something or

THE
PRINCESS DIARIES
Meg

Young Adult
ISBN:
0380814021
304
pages
As the hilariously funny tale called
The Princess Diaries begins, Mia Thermopolis is just a regular high school
freshman at Albert Einstein High School. Well, as regular as you can be when
you live in a loft in downtown New York with your mighty artist Mom. And as
regular as you can be when your best friend is Lilly, a punky and spunky
militant who produces her own TV show.
As readers can guess from the title,
this book takes the form of a diary, written by Mia. Over the span of a month,
she relates her daily woes and embarrassments in heart breaking detail. As with
most teenaged girls, Mia thinks she is hopeless, looks-wise. She's tall ---
5’9" --- and klutzy, and not so gifted in the chest department.
Then there is school. One of Mia’s
biggest problems is the fact she is flunking Algebra and, to make matters
worse, her Mom has begun dating her teacher. Gross. In the boy department, the
cutest one in school has the locker next to hers, but doesn't even know Mia
exists, even as his snooty girlfriend Lana, a popular cheerleader, torments
her. And to top it off, Mia is developing some sort of weird crush on Michael,
Lilly’s computer nerd brother. Then one day, Mia finds out she is a princess. Okay, I know
that doesn’t sound bad to most girls, but Mia hates the idea instantly. How
does this fairy tale come true? Her father is ruler of the principality of
Genovia and since Mia is his only child, she is next in line to the throne. Her
dad sends in the big guns to convince Mia that being a princess is what she is
meant to do: her formidable grandmother comes to New York to give Mia
"Princess Lessons". And as the word spreads around Albert Einstein
High School that Mia is royalty, her life just gets more crazy.
The ending of The Princess Diaries is
a twisty one and will leave you jonesing for more stories of Mia and the rest
of her friends.

Twister tells
the story of tornado chasers trying to
test new equipment that will help save lives. The story of Twister is about
Jo Harding (played by Helen Hunt) and her soon-to-ex-husband Bill (played
by Bill Paxton) who goes hunting tornadoes in a race against other twister
chasers. Bill has invented a machine
that might help predict tornadoes but he needs to test it. Along the way there is drama between Jo, Bill and Bill’s
new girlfriend and some humorous moments involving the twister-chasing team. I
found the special effect used in the movie to be excellent and the story easy
to follow. This is a movie suitable for the whole family and sure to blow them
away
This film is really worth watching.

For
many years people believed that the
cleverest animals after man were the chimpanzees. Now, however, there is
proof that dolphins may
be even cleverer than these big apes.
Although a dolphin lives in
the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways, therefore, like
a human being.
Dolphins have a simple language.
They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for man to learn how
to talk to dolphins. But this will not be easy because dolphins cannot hear the
kind of sounds man make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will
have to make a third language which both he and dolphins can understand.
