Frankenstein we all know is a classic. A wonderful book and a icon for those authors today. This book has layed out the very meaning for for good character development. But with writing evolving and taking new forms. Is Frankenstein still one of the est books in the world? I believe that writing has only gone backwards the past two thousand years with some exceptions. I mean in most books you have a very simple plot, character,and world while in the old books they had insanely detailed everything books don't have now.
In books such as lets say "The End of Infinity" Jack escapes prison, goes on a space journey "home" to Earth. He then saves the world and his friends. Then a good ending happens and every one is happy. In this story line does he change? No. Does he Become over powered? Yes.
In "Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie" Despite it being a good book, it uses a simple string of settings, being home then school then home then school then hospital and the loop repeats. This is a very repetitive cycle but
remember this is a very good book.
In "The End of Infinity" again Jack starts off being heroic, then he stays heroic and doesn't change. He is brave, and he stays the same, Jack is a "good guy" and yet his dialogue cancels that out. Catch my drift, in newer books there are less and less characters who develop.
So in conclusion the books of today are very, very simplistic. They show lack of character development and they show lack of interesting detail in the story. But not all books are like that, specifically, the older ones.

Frankenstein or The Original Zombie Story!! Other than maybe one of those voodoo stories...
Frankenstein, the creator, the "god", the overly obsessed with necromacy and death, and galvanist. Don't look at me like you don't know what I'm saying, and if you don't know what I'm saying go, just leave. This maniac has been delivering an entertaining experience since 1818. Being one most beloved books of all time and being already one of my favorite books this review isn't "So maybe it is a good book", it's flat out an amazing book. It has very difficult language but has an amazing story, romance and amazing feeling depth, and characters never to be forgotten.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelly Has one of the best plot lines I have ever witnessed, starting at the end and flashing back to the beginning to tell the story it was the first of it's kind. Amazingly enough it also travels the entire world. Starting in Geneva, Germany Victor Frankenstein grows up with royalty. Unlike other baron sons though Victor has the dark habit of experimenting with live subjects pushing his father further and further away from him. This obsession only grows and soon takes his destiny. This always keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next.
The emotions shown by any character demonstrate how they feel to their core. The language of the book just makes you realize how important everything is to them. Shelly shows that characters don't have to explain their feelings in by talking but they can do it just by moving.
The characters descriptions are some of the most beautiful I have ever read. It reaches down into their very souls and shows you what their purpose is. No matter how big or small every character has the tips of the story at their disposal, and every decision one makes could make for certain doom.
This book has no out of ten rating. Reading it means that you are going to spend a lot of time thinking "OMG what's going to happen next what, oh my goodness he actually did it, this is so exciting!" for a long time. 20/10 easy. So read it and see you next week.

The end of eternity was better than I thought it'd be.
So I recently finished the book I reviewed last week and am here to write about how I was horribly wrong. It seems as though Matt fooled me into believing what happened with the parent stuff. Any way it got better and the ending summed things up. Although the protagonist does ruin other peoples property i'll let that slide.
The first reason this book made up for it's flaws is that you find out who his real father is. One of the biggest upsets I had was this very reason for finding out his fake father very early. That really just pissed me off and made the book a lot worse.
His attitude got a lot less squidwardy and more "heroy" Jack I mean. It seems as though by becoming a robo alien thingy he some how got his attitude straightened out and reconfigured himself to be kind and not so loving.
In the end it stayed a bit like starwars but it differed because now he brought in Transformers to the mix although I don't like Transformers I did like the fact that it was something new for a change. I also enjoyed the intense violence.
Although I though it was a negative 10,000 out of 10 before I think I was a little bit harsh. I mean the book made up for it self and apologized for it's misbehavior. That doesn't mean it's getting a 7/10 though. It's still getting something low as a punishment of sStawars, Spongebob, and Transformers copying. 3/10.

The end of Infinity? But that's impossible because infinity is unending... dang.
Currently I've almost completely finished a book called The End of Infinity by Matt Myklushch. This is one of the most "Story? What's that?" book's I've ever read. This book just has no story! It's unbelievable how an author can just write a book where 80% of all the pages are based on some robot creature getting shot stabbed or just plain out blown up. I'm not going to lie, the first to books were great but this book has three major flaws to it.
First off Jack Blank the main character has become a braggart. with lines like "You should see me when I'm at full power" and body movements lie smirking when in trouble is nothing like he was in the first two books. Character change is a very good thing but not when out of the blue for no reason what so ever the protagonist becomes Squidward Tentacles and starts talking about how good they are.
Secondly the book has been written like it was a movie. This popping out of that, the main characters flying in space ships fighting what are pretty much tie fighters to blow up star destroyers. If you didn't see how this book relates to many different movies, and shows just wait. It's as though MM ripped of every super hero movie to because Jonas Smart, one of the various antagonists, is of course a super genius.
I guess MM just thought out of the blue "hey I wonder what other issue we can put into this boom to make it seem really cool?", my face when I saw what he did -_-. He made it so that randomly out of the blue they tell which person is Jack's father. once again my face -_-. Really MM you don't think you had foremost enough issues in this book and secondly this had been a main issue through the entire series so why did you tell us this was who it was randomly with no suspense leading up to it?
I've decided that no out of ten rating could show you how I felt about this book so I'm going to leave you with a picture. I realize that he wanted to end it with a bang, he being MM but this is no bang. The battles are exciting and yet it's still a bad book.
