Apologies
Sorry, Mr. B, for such a late blog post on the book review, I was compiling them and making sure they were good enough to be posted sorry.
Book Review: Tunnels
A great remake of the Journey to The Center of the Earth, which in my opinion, I think might even be better than it.
It tells a more realistic story of a boy(Will) whose father(Dr. Burrows) is something like an archeologist for the museum and they dig in hope of finding something but soon his father discovers something phenomenal and wants to share it with the world but gets kidnapped and Will is determined to find his father with the help of his good friend Chester, but soon realizes there's more to it than meets the eye and has to go underground to find his father. He then escapes from his wretched mother and strange sister, Rebecca.
They discover the colony which are a bunch of people who have decided to live undergrounds hundreds of years ago so that they can escape the so-called 'Topsoilers' and Will and Chester being topsoilers are then captured and thrown into jail but Will is set-free to realize the truth that he is actually born in the colony!!! And he then starts to know people like Cal(his real brother), and Uncle Tam and they decide to work together to find Dr. Burrows.
Like Rumo, this story also goes through many more adventures but there is no happy ending and it really hints that this book is a series. Fantastic reading content and character build-up.
Thank you,

Book review: The City of Dreaming Books
Another great story by Walter Moers, like Captain Bluebear and Rumo, also by Moers, it is another fantasy book of the adventure of a lifetime for any writer.
It starts with Optimus Yarnspinner, a Lindworm,meets his dying 'authorial' granduncle, who then gives him a magnificent piece of writing that was said to change his life forever if he is to read it. This piece of writing is said to be so good that it could make you laugh, cry, weep like mad and then suddenly forget your worries and later be kept on tenterhooks throughout the strangely short 10 page writing.
Thus Optimus Yarnspinner soon seeks the author who is said to be living in an authors paradise called "Bookholm" where he meets strange people and somebody who seems to be helping him, Pfistomel Smyke( a cousin of Smyke from Rumo, they are usually crimelords), who then imprisones him in the Bookholm catacombs where he meets the so called feared 'Booklings' which are actually cute little cyclopses who have a great passion and 'eat' the content of the book.
Later, he finds the greatest bookhunter who seeked refuge with the booklings because of his many injuries which are too serious to recover from and many more adventures happen in this book and once again, it ends with a happy ending but this time not entirely without grief.
Thank you,

Book review: Rumo and his Miraculous Adventures
My favorite book of all time with the greatest varieties of adventures all mixed into one book. Lets say, Lord of The Rings, The Odyssey, the Tin Can and mostly all the great fantasies.
It starts with the Main Character, young puppy Wolperting( a half deer, half wolf, resembles a dog) who wakes up in the farm one day but finds his Hackonian family missing and as he walks about he gets captured by the Demonocles and is brought upon the Roaming Rock where he meets the character that follows him through the story, Smyke, a shark grub who possess many important tips on fighting and in life since he once caused a horrible slaughter in the greatest 'authors home' which is the Lindworm Castle filled with magnificent and intelligent Lindworm(sort of dinosaur) writers.
Soon, with the help of Smyke, Rumo, who was full grown by then, came up with a plan and executed it perfectly to escape the clutches of the Demonocles and came shore to the homeland of Hackonia once again. But with a more developed sense of smell now, he notices the silver thread fully hanging in the air and knows that whatever he meets in that area will bring him eternal joy and goes through many perilous journeys to go there but sadly Smyke leaves mid-way.
When he reaches the place he wants to go(Wolperting), he finally realises the silver thread leads to a beautiful Wolperting girl,Rala, and will soon try to get to know her better but he had to go through many more adventures then he could finally have the happy ending in the story.
I hope this keeps anybody in suspense and wishes to read more on this marvellous story,
Thank you for your kind attention.
