This book has a great story, but it is quite complicated to follow because there are so many names and details, along with the fact that the book jumps around a lot. It reveals a shocking story that occurred only slightly more than a century ago. The book details widespread murders and corruption and how the Osage Nation suffered from racist government policies and others taking advantage of them. Yet despite being important to US history, this is never taught in history classes. Given the large amount of content, this book is good to reread as well. It is best for teenagers and above who have a solid understanding of US history. Especially with the movie that was released recently, this book is a great read. by Brian

In Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag is one of the firemen in a future society that works to burn books and the houses that hold them. When he is about to get promoted to chief fireman, he realizes that society is not what he believes. The plot is heavily changed from the novel, although I do think it is for the better in the movie adaptation. The casting is amazing; the characters fit how they are pictured. Anyone, whether or not you’ve read the novel will enjoy this movie. The movie stands on its own but also pairs well with the novel, posing different questions in their comparisons and contrasts. This movie has exceptional animation. Important scenes are powerful and clear. It is an entertaining, fast paced film. by B.T.

Little Fires Everywhere Book Review by Brian Tay 5/5 very interesting and weird story, descriptive writing, mature topics, well developed characters Audience - high school and up (too mature for middle school) 13 + Summary - The rich, picture perfect Richardson family meets the vagabond Warrens when they move to town and they have much to learn from each other. The Warrens arrive as outcasts and the Richardsons take them under their wings. Abortion, economic status, sex, relationships, pregnancy, race issues, adoption and prejudice all arise as issues between the families and are explored in the story. What to know before you read - Beware of mature topics. Issue/Big topics - abortion, economic status, sex, relationships, race issues, prejudice, pregnancy, adoption This book pushes boundaries and makes you think and question.

Ender’s Game Movie Review by Brian Tay 4 Stars - Very Enjoyable Sci-Fi Movie This was by far one of the most intense movies that I have ever watched. You will get sucked into the plot of the movie. Ender’s Game is about Ender Wiggin, a young child who is enlisted into Battle School to lead the fight against an alien race known as the Formics to save the world. The movie is very captivating and has amazing graphics. The general plot of Ender’s Game is identical to the book. Although there are quite a few changes, to me most of them felt minor and didn’t change the tone of the story. Pros: -Intense movie and action packed for the whole film -The plot is very deep and has great character development. -Amazing graphics with a lot of detail in intense parts such as battles Cons: -Movie only focuses on Ender, so the subplots that existed in the book weren’t there in the movie -Characters like Bonzo Madrid were shorter and smaller than described in the book, which made him feel less intimidating in the movie. -Slightly different ending There are many plot twists that will lead you pondering who the real enemy is. Although the movie does have a few flaws, it is overall very fun to watch.
