A Young Adult's Review of the book "The Path of Prosperity" by James Allen

 I was looking for a new book to read when I stumbled to this one. The title poked my interest. I thought, Hey, I'm 19 and it would not be bad to read more serious genre. I am not a bookworm, but sometimes I read books to pass time and mostly are fictions. As a troubled young adult in my new phase  in life, I longed for guidance that my parents can't barely give, so I settled to a less hassle alternative, reading books.


Reading "The Path of Prosperity" is very overwhelming. I can't hardly recall any phrase from the book. I guess it was too much for me but I did finish it in two days. However, I believe that I need to reread it to fully understand the context of the book. In this blog, I will be sharing to you my thoughts about the book as a novice in reading and writing as well. 


It was a great book. There was a lot of ideas that can put you to think deeply and unfamiliar words to make you grab a dictionary. It was really knowledgeable book where you can gain ideas that may contradict your own but I loved how it made me see and question myself. It talks about the evil around us that may caused by the evil within us. I like how it talks about self conquest because lately I observed that I am a slave to myself. That must be the caused of my unprosperous state. The author was amazing in constructing his thoughts about happiness, success, and prosperity and he interpreted it in his book so well. 


I don't want to spoil anything. So, I suggest  you should read it and tell me what you think.

The House in the Cerulean Sea Review

  The House in the Cerulean Sea is a wonderful wholesome book written by Tj Klune, a brilliant writer. The story started with Mr. Linus Baker, who is a casewoker of DICOMY or Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He was tasked of a very classified assignment. To go stay for a whole month in an orphanage and observe 6 "problematic" children and the house master Arthur Parnassus. He was unprepared and shocked but what could go wrong in an orphanage full of classified persons. They are just children, right? This book was what I needed. It was a light read, great storytelling, wonderful use of words, and something that touched my heart. It brings me back to being a child. It was nostalgic and refreshing. I recommend it to people who want a short escape.

A Review on the Book "Where The Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens

  Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens is a story about Kya Clark, dubbed as the " Mash girl" in their town. It tells how she bravely survived in a cabin all alone and how her life intertwined with two boys from her town. Honestly, I relate to Kya. I am an introvert and I have my own world that I enjoy very much It is an exquisite book that contains thrill, love and poetry. The storytelling of the writer is comprehensible and very vivid. I like how it made me clueless on what will happen next, I clearly didn't expect the ending. I recommend this book especially, to young adults readers. It is a good book that can make you feel different emotions.

A Review on the Book " The Absolutely True Diary of a Part - Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

The Absolutely  True Diary of a Part - Time Indian is a young adult novel by Sherman Alexie. Its main character is Junior who born with water on the brain and an Indian living on a reservation. In the book, Junior narrates his story, on how he was bullied, persuaded by his teacher to transfer school, fitted in in his new all-white school, and struggled to bring back the trust of his best friend. This book was fun to read because of the way the writer delivered the story and accompanied by adorable illustrations. I was really hooked of Junior's life, his culture, lifestyle, thoughts and decision in life. Honestly, I am impressed by him, that no matter how bad the situation is, he still have a positive outlook and continued his life without delving in the past. He proved that no matter how disabled, unskilled, poor, and unlikable you are, you can still make the best out of life.   I really relate to Junior because I am too, is raise in and now struggling in poverty, but still I fight
