An awesome response to "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

                    I have recently finished reading "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" by J.K. Rowling. I very well enjoyed this book purely for the reason that it is a large stereo type generator of things that fans of fantasy like, basically what I mean is,role playing game themes. Though I am well aware of the fact that most role playing games involve wizards and witchcraft, I think adventure themes are much more complicated then it was portrayed in the book. But this doesn't mean that I didn't like the book, in fact in my opinion, it was delightfully pleasant. The story was a bit on the average child's view of witchcraft and sorcery such as shape-shifters. But there are a handful, of more mature and complex creations of sorcery and wizardry such as dementor's. Dementor's are soul less creatures that literally make people lose there minds if said person looks at them long enough.

                    I also liked this book because the author used such creative objects and activities that the characters would go through such as quidditch. An example of a creative object that really helps get the audience into the storyline would be the cloak of invisibility. The book, just like the movie has sparked a life of fantasy in a large audience. Even though I wasn't inspired to enjoy the thoughts and stories of wizardry by Harry Potter's story, I can easily say that if i wasn't into the fantasy genre before then Harry Potter would definitely be the story that would get me to come to enjoy fantasy. In my opinion J.K. Rowling was creative when thinking of things to put in the book, from little things like objects such as the cloak of invisibility to a grand game of quidditch.

                     One main reason I like the entire storyline in general is the beginning of Harry Potter. What i'm talking about specifically is his past with his parents. It was very intriguing when Harry was left on a doorstep just to assure his safety which is one of the most iconic scenes so that went mainstream because of Harry Potter.The fact that his parents were willing to leave him just to make sure he was safe from the wrath of their killer, which if I remember correctly from the movies was Voldemort.

Non fiction reading response to "Chasing Lincoln's Killer" by James Swanson

                 
                   The book "Chasing Lincoln's Killer" by James Swanson, basically talks about the history of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The books talks about how James Wilkes Booth's side of the story and what he went through. It also talks about his opinions and thoughts of what he did. He thought that killing Lincoln would make him a hero figure that will be looked up to by many. But instead he has to run around hiding from the press and man hunters. Not only does he have to run for his life but he also has to live knowing that everybody who he tried to impress now hates him along with anybody that supported or liked Lincoln. So basically his entire plan Back fires on him completely.

                    In my opinion I think every little bit of the book was interesting. I have this opinion for the basic reason that the author gives a lot of detail and description. Also along with detail and description he also shows images relevant to the current topic in the book. This helped create and detail what I was thinking in my head so far as the characters and scenery go. Though a con of the book was that, it's not what I would call suspenseful. It didn't have me jumping out of my seat, basically i thought it was similar to a history lesson.

                   Because of the book, I've learned that James Wilkes Booth did have good intentions just that he didn't look over his strategy plan. I really don't think anybody in the right mind would've missed that fact that he would easily be hated as result of his plan. The book made me dislike James Wilkes Booth a little less, only for the fact that the shear embarrassment he must have felt and the self pitty eating up his self conscience. But i still really do dislike him considering he killed a good man for no good reason. So basically the book did somewhat changed my thoughts and opinions about James Wilkes Booth all while giving me extra education on U.S. history, even though I don't enjoy history lessons.
