Agents of Shield

In the aftermath of the Battle of New York when the chatari were defeated by none other than the Avengers, the world is left with the disturbing notion that the world is not as normal as it seemed. Agent Grant Ward of S.H.I.E.L.D is recruited for a special team by the supposedly dead Agent Phil Coulson. They're job as a team is to bring "world peace" and get rid of technologies that many people want to use to their advantage. They also have to deal with people who see S.H.I.E.L.D as the enemy that withholds information from the public.

Who is your friend and who is your enemy, who is right and who is wrong, and is technology evil or is technology good? This show is really good, and I feel like that it perfectly fits into he Avengers franchise. It's only gotten a few episodes but it really is going to go somewhere.

I would totally recommend this for most of the family. I would say 10 and older should be allowed to see it. It has some violence, some vulgar language, but for the most part it's pretty clean. It's a lot like the Avengers movie's as far as it goes for cleanliness.

This show is very good for the family and hasn't gone far into the series so I would try to catch up before you fall too far behind!    

The Faults in our Stars by John Green

 Hazel is still trying to fight dangerous lung cancer and has lost all hope that she will ever get any better. But when a boy who has just defeated cancer slides into her life she finally has something to live for. In this book Hazel has her dreams come true but along the way she also has to realize maybe there isn't always a happy ending. She learns that life is worth living and that you should be able to do all you can because life is short. She learns that you need to keep fighting to the bitter end.

This book was a wonderful tale of romance, comedy, and tragedy wonderfully written by the smart and amazing John Green whose works I adore. It was beautifully described and the ending was so good I had a hard time not shedding a tear or two.

I do not recommend this book for kids under 14 because the characters in this book have sexual relationships before marriage. There is also swearing and drinking in this book and I would strongly encourage adult permission under the age of 14.

This book was so good that they are making a movie of it and it will come out sometime in 2014. I hope that you will read this amazing book.

I also want to encourage people to please comment to me I want to get more recommends of movies and books and such. Thank you!  


   

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

For those of you that have seen the trailer and for those who have not. I encourage to you read this amazing book to prepare for the movie! It might be old fashioned for young readers. It was written in 1985 so I know some adults probably loved this book as a kid. I know I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to see the movie!

The book is set in the future (the future of 1985). Before the future of this book, alien invaders came and attacked Earth twice almost wiping out the human race. 70 years later they need a new leader to prepare for the next invasion. The government comes to 6-year-old Ender Wiggin and sends him to battle school. As Ender gets older and learns more. He not only has to worry about the buggers, but he has to worry about society, students at battle school that hate him, and even himself. But he will also learn the importance of survival, friendship, and love. Ender also will to learn if he's really humanity's hero or just a mistake.

This book it a great book that I think can be read by ages 10 and older. Keep in mind that the movie will be pg-13 because of violence, especially murder, and because of vulgar language ( oh and I do want to remind parents if you don't want kids saying bad words that they hear. TELL THEM WHAT THEY ARE FIRST. I know some kids that had to learn the hard way).

The book was really exciting and suspenseful. It kept me reading to the very end and afterward I was left in awe. It was so well done I had a hard time wanting to stop talking about it with my friends who were reading it about the same time. There were so many characters and if you look closely then you can find that each character represents something important both to the story and to Ender.

I hope though that all teenagers will read this book because it is an American Classic and very very good. I loved this book and cannot wait to see the movie.
