Shrek- The Novel
Shrek
The Novel
A great
movie and a great novel! Not too, much of a difference though. It’s actually one of those rare books that if
I read, before watching the movie, I’d think to myself, “that movie was
perfect!” There aren’t many parts of the book that were cut from the movie, and
the book described the surroundings much better than the movie. Even if
everyone in the world has watched the movie, I’d still recommend this book
because, not only is it like the movie with a personal perspective, it’s also
more descriptive so I can have more details while imagining it. There’s not
much to say other than I like and recommend this book to everyone that I know.
Alcatraz
Alcatraz is a federal penitentiary filled with thugs and criminals. There is info on the history of the island, bios of famous prisoners and escape attempts.( For Example) Some history about the island is it opened in 1934 and closed in 1963. This book is interesting and filled with things that i didn't know about.

Ranger’s Apprentice:
Book 5 Sorcerer of the North.
Up in Norgate fife the baron of the outpost of castle Macindaw
is struck down with a “sickness.” Will has

at taverns and inns using his newly found skill, playing the mandole. Finally, he
reaches the castle, very forbidding and dark, at the castle he gets a room and
warm food. He also sees dark forbidding woods, more so than the castle, while
he looked out the window that night. The next night he goes out to take a look
in the woods for information there he meats a strangely large warrior. As this
happens Alyss comes to help him then they venture into the wood and meat Will
mysterious warrior. With further exploration they find a clearing where they
meet Macollom who is an expert healer. Than later in the week baron Orman is
poisoned and will has to make a split second decision whether to believe Oman
and save him or let him die. This journey
is dark and perilous. Will he survive?
