Doing It by Leshem Escoffery

Title - Doing It
Author - Melvin Burgess

Story - This story takes place somewhere in England, it is not mentioned exactly where the location or setting of the book is. There are three friends and each have their own story intertwined with three other women. The story is mostly about boy and girl teenagers with their crazy hormones, and what they will do to get "it." The boys talk about who they want to do "it" with, or don't, one boy is sleeping with a teacher, another wants the most popular girl, another has this thing for a plump girl. The three women have their problems with the guys, but you'll have to read to find out what.

My Analysis - It's unbelivably funny, the things that happen to them are hilarious. The content is good I guess, it's kinda like reading a soap opera about teenagers, which is great. Last but not least, they are British. I like how they talk it makes everything funnier.

Siege of Darkness by Leshem Escoffery

Title - Seige of Darkness
Author - R.A. Salvatore

Story - The story is all about action and war. At the moment the Dwarves of Mithral Hall are fighting the Dark Elves. This book marks the end of that fight. The setting goes from Menzoberranzan to Mithral Hall to the Demon Plane. The intricate levels of influence that the Demons and the Spider Queen Lolth have on this war is amazing. The fights and moments of danger are incredible. The main characters amaze you with their loyalty to each other: Drizzt, Cattie-brie, Wolfgar, Regis, Breunor and Guenhwyvar.

My Analysis - I love the action, there is not a dull moment. I love the deceit and betrayal that happens at the Dark Elf city. It always amazes me how deep it really goes. All together I love the series. I've never read any better books yet.

Hikaru no Go by Leshem Escoffery

Title - Hikaru no Go
Author - Yumi Hotta
Art - Takeshi Obata

Story - This story is based around a spirit of an old Go player from the Edo period. He has possessed a boy named Hikaru. At first it seems like the boy has no talents at all, but after two years he becomes a force to be reckoned with. It took a long journey to get him to his goals, but he gets there to everyone's surprise. When he becomes a pro, he starts out undefeated, but the spirit Sai leaves him because his time is up. He has fulfilled his will. It was time for him to pass over. At first, Hikaru was depressed and stopped playing, but he regained his will to play and came back.

My Analysis - I like this story because the game of Go seems interesting and I would like to play it. Also, being a Japanese anime, they exaggerate everything, which makes it interesting. Last but not least, is the suspense of the next book.
