Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Long Haul (Book Review)

Hey everyone, quick review on a book I got yesterday. I love this series, this time Greg and his family go on a road trip holiday which doesn't go as his mum planned it to be. I got a few laughs out of this book, as I normally do, and to be honest, I was sort of expecting some sort of holiday book for some time now. There's a part near the end of the book which is really funny, when basically everything goes wrong as every small problem from the road trip all comes crashing down into one. But anyway, I really recommend reading this book for some light reading. Usually I get through these books within a hour or two. My raiting is 8.5/10!  I still find it funny how Greg's mum still treats everyone like a kid, and Manny turning a bit evil!

Oh yea, I forgot to say what this book series is all about. Basically, it's about a kid called Greg who was given a Diary by his mum, so he documents his day to day events, and does doodles at the same time on his life. I love the simplicity, and all the funny stuff that happens in this family, I always can't wait for the next book. Well, until next time, bye!

Did anyway notice that he spells Mum, Mom now??!!!  Am I the only one who noticed it?

The Legend of Korra, Book 1: Air, The Art of the Animated Series (Book Review)

Hi everyone, today I will review another different thing to what I usually review, a book, but this is no ordinary book, this is the art book of The Legend of Korra (Book 1: Air). So I bought the Avatar The Last Airbender Art book, and I quite enjoyed it so I decided to buy the one about the first season of Korra.

So the book contains a lot of pictures, drawings and sketches of a majority of characters through their production stages. It's interesting seeing the development of characters, and how a sketch turns into the final form. There's also little blurbs to give a bit of info about the picture(s)/ sketch(es). I found the one of ATLA much more interesting though, it had lots of informative info and seemed to be more well thought of while being put together. This one feels like they just chucked in everything, but I'm not saying it's bad at all.

I recommend this art book to fans of ATLK (ATLOK??? oh well) as it just gives a good look at how the series was put together with the characters and scenes etc, along with ideas/ scenes and characters not put into the series.
