REVIEW
- “I have read a lot of books by many a various authors, but
nothing has struck me quite like the work of the great Stephen King. When I
pick up a King-novel I haven't read already, I always get into a different
state
mind. And I don't go back to normal until a few days after I've
finished the book. So if I were to stop reading for a few months, I would just
go around like I'm high or something. So that's why Stephen King
is the best
author ever!”
- “Stephen King is to me the only author that will never run
out of good idea's. Sure Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings were amazing books
but it seems to me those are the only good idea's they have. Stephen King
on
the other hand has an immense amount of stories I mean 57 books! This also
contains a few books loaded with short stories. This man's imagination is vast.
I mean look at the facts people, most people
voted for J.R. R Tolkien and J. K
Rowling because everyone know's how iconic their work is. Most people probably
read their works (just guessing here) because everyone else reads it, but it's
to me like this
quote If you read the same books as everyone else you'll think
like everyone else.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

1973), known by his pen name J. R. R. Tolkien, was an English
writer, poet, philologist, and university professor who is best known as the

The Silmarillion .
REVIEW
- "I feel as if there is not author
that compares to him. The depth and detail he adds into his writing is amazing.
Adding languages, poetry, stories within stories, and just this great depth of
history makes you feel like you
are in a real world.He inspired most of today's
authors; and not just on fantasy. His techniques and writing style is
pleasuring for me to read and he was such a talented man.The fact that his writing has
really
stood the test of time for over 70 years is amazing and something most
authors strive for. His stories are classics."
J.K Rowling
REVIEW
- “She is the best writer I know. That was amazing how she
came up with all the names and places and people. At first I did not like Harry
Potter. I actually hated it. But when I read her first book I fell in love
with
it. Harry potter and the Deathly Hollows part 1 is now my favorite movie of all
time. Anybody will love it!”
- "I fall in love with her type and style of writing. She has
created a magical empire which surrounds every single childhood memories. She
is clearly amazing and outstanding. Plus, she has know written a
new novel for
other public, which has received excellent comments and evaluation it's name -
the casual vacancy and the cuckoos calling-. In addition, I think she brought a
knew world to ours, she is drearily
better than stephenie Meyer. Interestingly
enough, I have tried to write a magical novel as her, but I could not finish it
cause she included all the possible facts and creatures in her -Harry potter-
serie. Finally, I
want to stand out her narrative style, it's full of
adventures and knew discoveries mixed with love and respect."

REVIEW
- "I think the reason why many of us
teens and children think his books are boring is because the school forces us
to read it. In school, we have to stop every 5 seconds and "analyze"
it. That isn't immersive at all! It makes it hard to lose yourself in the world
of the story when you have to stop reading every so often. Teachers say that
the beauty of literature is that it contains so many hidden messages if you
look between the lines. But really, the real beauty of books is that it creates
a whole new world to the reader that they can experience at their own pace. I
think this also relates to why children today prefer video games to school
reading, but I'm going off topic. Dickens was a great author. After reading
Great Expectations in my free time at my own pace, I found it to be a
masterpiece. "
