Ok I'm officially dropping the book. Mainly because it's over do, it's also really boring, plus Romeo and Juliet is getting too be way to much. So that's why I'm letting the Tail of Despereanx go.
Why did this book go so low on my reading list?? Mostly the way she wrote it READER what do you think now how bout now, do you agree? Some times I wonder how that book won a Newberry award, plus its getting a movie how exciting.
Well that's all, but don't take my word to hard some people really love this book and can't put it down, but I guess what ever floats your boat right.

The Tail of Despereanx "To The Dungeon Part 2"
As we already know Despereanx is in the dungeon. He fears that he is already too late and will not can not save princess Pea. "Once upon a time" screams into the darkness "Once upon a time" he repeats himself. He is surely dead, but the loudest of all voices probably the biggest of all rats respond.
"A knight in shinning armour." All of a sudden he is swooped up and cupped by this hand. It is a man!!? Greg is his name. This guy is the keeper of the jail almost a prisoner himself. He knows all about mice and rats. He asks Despereanx to tell him a story to save his life.
Ok so that was the main thing that went on in this chapter. Okay maybe it got a little bit better from last week, but still its just not working out. This book is so boring in my opinion. A way it got better was more action in the beginning it was just a classic fairy tale love story. Not like Romeo and Juliet though. A little bit younger age. Speaking of Romeo and Juliet it is starting to get fun, but complicated. Well that's all this week math home work time haha.

The Tail of Despereanx "To The Dungeon"

In these several chapters Despereanx is sent to the DUNGEON because as you know he broke the biggest of all mouse rules he talked to the humans. After the other mice found this out they held a "castle mouse meeting." They discussed the fate of Despereanx in this meeting and he is destined to live out the rest of his life in the dungeon.
Honestly this book is kinda starting to get annoying is constantly says reader reader reader. Way to much repetition of the word reader. Plus it is meant towards kids seriously why do they have this book in a high school library if it is about a mouse and his fairy tale haha. I guess the book does have some good morals though, but it should not be in a high school library.
Well if I don't finish this book by December 10th and at the rate I'm reading I probably wont then I will drop it. One reason is because its due. Another is because it's super boring. Finally we will be starting our Romeo and Juliet and I really can't handle two fairy tales. That's all see ya next post.
