Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 23 year old girl who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave). I live in the Netherlands and go to university, but make booktube videos in my spare time :)

@lxckystars__ Год назад

i dislike it because i find the age gap between the two weird and uncomfortable even though it was appropriate for the time it was written in and im aware of that (although the gap between paris and juliet was even worse)--its also the cause for "romeo and juliet laws" in many places which i definitively dont feel particularly comfortable with other than that i can see both how it could be a comedy and a tragedy depending on how you look at it and also mercutio made the first half or so of the story bearable, so he was a win

2 years late but I'm pretty sure the "neutral government organizations" being referred to are the Wizards and the kingdom of Rohan. Saruman was known as Saruman the White and held in pretty high esteem as a wizard but was secretly working for Sauron and building the Uruk'Hai army. Meanwhile Wormtongue was Rohan's King (Theodan's) chief advisor and also under the sway of Sauron, leading to near total kingdom collapse. Both factions had remained neutral so far as direct involvement against Sauron's armies. Hope this helps :-)

It's so funny that you mentioned Jurassic Park at 5:00 because that was one of the books on my TBR list that I just read last month. Since I can't go to the library and since I can't go to the bookstore, I've been going through the books I already have at home and reading the ones I haven't read yet. One of them was that book. Surprisingly, it was a very entertaining and engaging read, more action packed than the movie. It did a great job explaining the scientific theory of chaos theory and other relevant principles that are discussed in the story. I will say, though, that the author, who has since died, was a climate change denier and he alludes to his views on this in the book when discussing the last ice age. Not exactly great, but if you can overlook that, it's a thoroughly enjoyable read. I'm currently reading The Lost World, the sequel, now since I liked the first book so much. Just thought you'd be curious to hear about this. Hope your studies have been going well.

Novelizations of movies can sometimes be different than the movies in ways that would be troublesome later. In the novelization of the second X-Men movie, Jean lived and had white eyes. I don’t remember if she was actually blind or if the color was just different. In the movie, it appeared that she died. That is key to the third movie. I never read the third book, but I wonder how the writer dug themself out of that hole. Was the writer of the second movie’s book given a different ending? What happened there?
